Whether you’re a new raghorn chaser or an experienced wapiti stalker we have got a hunt for you. We hunt in remote areas of the Big Horn Mountains and offer two different base camps, the Diamond Tail Cabins and the Backcountry Camp. These areas hold great elk in both quality and quantity. Rifle, archery, and muzzleloaders are all welcome, as well as crossbow hunters. On average, a mature bull will range from a 260 to a 320 class bull. All of the archery hunts will be during prime bugling season. Calling will be the preferred technique during this period. To hunt during the rut is one of the most exhilarating hunts you’ll ever experience. The rifle hunts will combine some calling, spot and stalk, and tracking. All of the guides are well trained in these hunting methods. For those who are willing to be patient and work hard, real trophies are there to be had. We would also like to suggest that you try our cow elk hunt. This hunt provides a good opportunity to experience a guided hunt with less expense. For some of our clients a guided elk hunt is a once in a lifetime opportunity, for others it's an experience they enjoy every year. Either way our commitment to making your hunt the best it can be remains the same.

Lion hunting is not just a winter past time for us, it’s serious business. These hunts depend heavily on favorable weather conditions, but with good snow cover, success on past hunts has been good.

It is truly an indescribable adventure to hunt behind the dogs and enjoy the chase in a beautiful mountainous area.

Cats range in size from 80-110 pounds with the toms reaching 130-180 pounds. Cougar licenses can be purchased over the counter. This hunt is operated from the guest quarters at our home.

IDAHO SPRING BEAR HUNT - HOUND/BAIT HUNT

Our spring bear hunts are conducted from May 1st through June. These 5 day hunts are a great opportunity to hunt in a setting like no other, during a time of year when there are few other hunting options. Our high success in the past few years is proof of the abundance of bear our area has to offer. The bears are of the black species; however our area boasts an extremely high ratio of colored bears. The different shades and colors is certainly one of the aspects that set us apart from others. Cinnamon, Chocolate, and what the kids have started calling Sugar bears (blonde) are very common in our camp trophy collection. The spring weather is usually mild with some rainfall. Perhaps the best aspect of our bear hunts is that we are not plagued by the black flies that you will find in Canada. Both bait and hounds can be utilized during the spring bear hunt. A combination of a hound/bait hunt usually yields the best chance for a real trophy. The combination hunt features a full day of hunting with the hounds combined with baited stand hunting during the evening hours. This method allows for the ultimate bear hunting experience. Our baiting begins in mid April establishing a feeding pattern and the best possible response from the bears. Their prime spring coat is unequalled by any other season. The end result is a beautiful trophy that you will be proud to display and more than likely an equally interesting story about your adventure in obtaining it.

Wyoming Fall Black Bear Hunt

While Wyoming law prohibits the use of hounds to pursue bears in this state it doesn’t stop us from continually having great fun and success in our fall hunts. These hunts are based out of our backcountry tent camp and allow for ultimate enjoyment of the great outdoors while pursuing the awesome bruins our area holds. The hunts are conducted over bait in the late afternoon and evening areas. Days are spent replenishing baits or taking it easy around camp. Baits have been strategically placed in proven locations and the hungry bear, preparing for hibernation is looking to score some of the irresistible treats we use as bait. Our area supports about a 50/50 color phase with half being black and the other half one of the color variations. We only book 4-6 hunters for this trip so if you’re interested book early to secure the hunt dates you prefer.

Trophy mule deer is one of the most sought after species in the west, and quality deer hunts are getting harder and harder to find. With Tangle Ridge Outfitters you can be assured a great hunting experience. We offer many different opportunities to hunt mule deer. Depending on your hunting style preference you can choose from a mountain backcountry pack-in hunt, a mountain cabin hunt conducted on private land, and two other different private ranches in the lower elevations of Wyoming. These hunts can easily be combined with an elk or antelope hunt as well. All four of our hunting locations offer good quality and quantity of deer. The deer here have good genetics and mineral rich feed which promotes exceptional antler growth. Average bucks run 20”-24”, with the older more mature bucks ranging anywhere from 25”-29” and we never rule out the possibility of finding even better. Over the past few years our success rate has been nearly 100%. These are “bragging rights” that do not come easily. We spend many days scouting and preparing for your hunt long before the seasons open. However, the harvest success of each hunt depends on weather conditions and the ability and desire of each individual.

While drawing a moose tag for our area is challenging it isn’t impossible and with the preference point system the dream of hunting a trophy moose in the Big Horns becomes a reality for a handful of hunters each year. We hunt this area 95% of the year and we often see moose while on other big game hunts. Therefore we know the habits of the moose and know where to go to find them. If you are lucky enough to draw a tag we strongly recommend you book a hunt with Tangle Ridge Outfitters to assure yourself the best possible chance at harvesting a once in a lifetime trophy.

Antelope hunting in Wyoming is an exciting and yet highly successful experience for every hunter from the beginner to the pro. The antelope are plentiful which provides a great opportunity for most everyone to harvest an animal. Don’t let the over abundance of antelope in our state fool you into thinking this hunt is too easy. . . Antelope are a wily, sharp sensed, fast moving, animal which provides an exciting challenge. The 3 day rifle hunt is a town hunt. You will be responsible for your own breakfast, dinner and hotel accommodations in a nearby town. We will provide a lunch and transportation to and from the ranch each day. The spot and stalk method is highly utilized for this hunt. The archery hunts are either operated as town hunts or as bunkhouse camp hunts, depending on the hunt you choose. You will be hunting from blinds setup strategically at well used water sources of the antelope. These hunts can easily be paired as an antelope/mule deer combination. If you harvest early in the day, you may also have the opportunity to visit a nearby Prairie Dog town.
