How we rank: Outfitters are ranked by a credibility-weighted rating that blends each outfitter's verified Google star rating with how many reviews back it up — so a strong average from many hunters outranks the same average from only a few — then by the breadth of elk packages they offer (live inventory, last updated September 2026). Prices, ratings and review counts come straight from each outfitter's current listings — always confirm details before you book.
That's the short answer. The roster below carries the other nine, each with its own price, rating and what's included.
Nobody else ranks Wyoming's elk outfitters against each other
Every other page you'll find on this question is one outfitter's own site. None of them compares Wyoming's elk outfitters against each other with review evidence attached — this page does, computed across every outfitter actually running elk hunts in the state, not one operator's own rate card.
A word on "guided" prices
A guided Wyoming elk hunt runs a wide range for a reason: guide ratio, season and whether you're hunting cow or trophy bull elk all move the number more than the outfitter does. Check which one you're pricing before you compare two quotes side by side.
