Pronghorn Outfitters - Wyoming

[Straight-Shot]

I am looking for recommendations on Wyoming Outfitters for Pronghorn. I know this question gets asked a lot, I've been reading the threads and trying to keep up. I am new to Wyoming hunting, however, I have been purchasing preference points and accumulated eleven for Pronghorn and Deer. I should be able to draw a fairly good hunt area. I've been looking at areas 57, 58, 59, 60 and 92 which require a few more points than I have though. In doing research I called Wyoming Game & Fish and was directed to "Wyoming Board of Outfitters" for further reading (currently underway). I also have the Wyoming Outdoors publication. In addition, some of the outfitters I have seen mentioned in various posts are:

• Trophy Ridge Outfitters
• Sweetwater Outfitters
• 7J Outfitters
• Tangle Ridge Outfitters
• Pronghorn Guide Service
• SNS Outfitters

Who have you hunted with and what was the outcome? When I get up there, I am bringing my Tikka in 7mm-08, with 162gr ELD-X. Thank you for your comments.

I do guided hunts every year. SNS would be the last outfitter I'd book with. The Grimmett's are the ones who I'd hunt with. Don't know if there's anyone who bags more big goats than them...

The only outfitter I'd use is Pronghorn but they guide in 60/61.

My nephew is interested in Elk and I have a few preference points there as well... what deer and elk hunt areas do you guide ?

Many moons ago I guided for 7-J, Jeff and Deb are wonderful people!

For sure they're worth talking with

I have been to Grimmet's house and by the looks of the heads on the wall he is the real deal.

Forbes Outfitters out of Kaycee WY. Easy almost guaranteed tags too. You won't be disappointed.

I reached out to Wyoming Board of Outfitters & Professional Guides. Link: Wyoming Board of Outfitters & Professional Guides Search (wyo.gov). There is a link there called "Hunter Quick Links" – very helpful. I was able to get a list of Outfitters that are authorized to hunt specific hunt areas (the ones I am interested in most). The folks there are very helpful, can't say enough good things about them.

I narrowed my list down to:

• - Sweetwater Outfitters
• - 7J Outfitters
• - Rough Country Outfitters

I will start reaching out to them tomorrow....

pronghorn guide service hands down in Wyoming. I have hunted with them twice once in AZ and this year in New Mexico. Absolutely the best antelope judging crew there is, Just look at the record books. My Az antelope went 92 2/8 BC and 93 SCI in 2016, on a draw tag not statewide. Dave Brown one of their guides, he is probably the best hunting partner I have had, will do whatever it takes. We went after a buck in New Mexico this year and he carried his 16 pound spotter Setup for about 7 miles round trip. One of Dave's hunters killed a 90 plus in Wy this year also.
Give Tony Grimmet a call If you want the best, my opinion.

I'm not going to call out names of the guide services as I think that is in bad form. With that being said it's seems as if most have prices that a very close and one is 1800-2000 higher than the rest. Am I missing something?
