How (and Why) To Pack a Bare-Bones Hunting Kit
On our guided big game hunts here in Wyoming, there’s no need to lug around a hefty pack. You only need the essentials when we set out each day of the hunt. The advantage of private access and road and trail systems means the vehicles do the heavy lifting while we focus on the hunt. Here’s how to build a bare bones hunting kit to have everything you need when we make the stalk.
Wyoming Bow Hunts are Underway
Bow hunts are now underway in Wyoming! We’re excited for the start of the 2022 hunting season, and the archery seasons in particular are always a highlight for us. Archery antelope season began in mid-August and our hunters have already been off to a quick start. These bow hunts for pronghorn are primarily done from ground blinds. In the August heat and with cagey antelope bucks, it’s never easy. But patience and persistence have paid off.
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.
A Better Ground Blind Hunt – 5 Tips for Success
Our guided bow hunts for antelope and mule deer are highly successful, thanks in large part to strategically placed ground blinds. Archery hunters have near perfect success rates and 100-percent opportunity from blind locations that are busy with game. Show up ready to shoot with confidence.
Preparing for a Table Mountain Archery Hunt
Archery hunters with Table Mountain Outfitters enjoy exceptional opportunity rates with 90-100% opportunity for antelope, mule deer and elk. Each species is a little bit different and archery hunters should prepare for some specific scenarios. Clothing, equipment and shooting abilities all play into preparing for a successful hunt.
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.
