3 Tips to Get in Shape for Your Fall Hunting Adventures
If you ask most of our hunting guides for their advice on being prepared for your next Wyoming hunt, it usually boils down to two things. First, practice with your weapon. And second, do your best to get in shape.
For more about shooting, check out our previous article here. But here, we want to take a look at why it’s so important to tackle some physical conditioning before your next Wyoming hunt – or any western hunt for that matter.
3 Things to Consider When Planning a Wyoming Mule Deer Hunt
From the Red Desert to the Black Hills, and from the high Rockies to the sagebrush prairies, Wyoming’s rugged landscapes provide the backdrop for some incredible mule deer hunting.
The state has populations that migrate across long, historic routes. Wyoming is also home to resident populations occupying a home territory for their entire lives. From the high alpine to the wide open praries, Wyoming is a great place to hunt mature bucks living in these wild and rugged western landscapes.
7 Things You Can Expect On Your First Antelope Hunt
The American pronghorn is a completely unique species, found only in North America. They’re not related to African antelope, or any American cervids like deer or elk. In fact, “antelope” as we refer to them colloquially, are the only horned animal that sheds its horns annually.
Our Top Daypacks for a Wyoming Big Game Hunt
Choosing from all the hunting daypacks on the market can sure seem intimidating. But a great big game backpack will help keep your gear organized and accessible in the field. Hunting in Wyoming with Table Mountain Outfitters means you have great lodging each night and a full overnight pack is not necessary.
Arrow and Broadhead Selection for Big Game Hunts
Choosing your arrows and broadheads for big game hunts is an important process. Some hunters have a general approach and use the same system for antelope, deer and elk while others favor different products for each species. Regardless, you must dial in the weight and spine and practice with the same system you plan to use in the field. For this reason, choosing your arrows and broadheads well in advance of the season is important.
Must-Have Archery Gear for Western Big Game Hunting
Our Wyoming big game hunts offer exceptional shot opportunities for archery hunters. Quality Antelope, Mule Deer and Elk are all harvested regularly using blinds, spot and stalk and calling strategies. Our antelope hunts are geared towards ground blind specific hunts. Meanwhile, the mule deer hunts employ a mix of both ground blind and stalking tactics. And our elk are primarily targeted on foot, using a combination of calling and spot-and-stalk strategies. Regardless of which species you’re pursing, every archery hunt calls for specific gear to get the job done.
Planning Your Optics System for a Guided Wyoming Hunt
At Table Mountain Outfitters, we hunt antelope, mule deer and elk using a variety of techniques. The optics we use will often depend on the hunting scenario and general approach to each individual species. Our guided hunters always have multiple sets of eyes of the terrain, and our guides are experts at locating game in this terrain. But it helps to have your own optics, and it’s simply more fun when you’re able to help locate game, field judge and plan stalks.
