The top pick isn't the highest-rated outfitter
Little Jennie Ranch leads the ranking below on review depth, not the highest star rating alone — two outfitters further down the list also hit a perfect score. The ranking weighs a rating by how many reviews back it up, and Little Jennie carries more than twice the review count of either.
The same hunt, quoted two ways
Many of these outfitters price the identical hunt twice — once for a shared 2x1 guide, again, higher, for a private 1x1. The range above defaults to the cheaper shared-guide tier, so a private-guide quote on the phone isn't the market moving, it's the other tier. The split below is by weapon — rifle against archery — not bull versus cow the way some cost roundups frame it; Wyoming outfitters price by what's in your hands, not what you're chasing.
This number is Wyoming's alone
Elk hunts price differently state to state. What you'd pay here won't match what the same trip runs elsewhere.
