Photos · from Boulder Basin Outfitters's website
Boulder Basin Outfitters, a third-generation outfitter based in Cody, Wyoming, offers fully guided big game hunting and horseback pack trips in the rugged backcountry of Northwest Wyoming, including the Shoshone and Bridger-Teton National Forests and Yellowstone National Park. Specializing in elk, mule deer, bighorn sheep, antelope, moose, mountain goat, and black bear hunts, they provide an authentic wilderness experience with experienced guides, comfortable camps, and horseback travel.
Bighorn sheep tags are difficult to draw; therefore, we are committed to helping you find a top-tier ram. We try to scout the areas where rams are typically found, and the hunts are 10 days in total – one day in and out on horseback and eight full days of hunting. Longer trips can be arranged if desired. Although on horseback, these hunts are still physically demanding, so keep that in mind when preparing for your trip. We hunt in areas one through five and from spike camps that include an experienced guide, a wrangler/cook, tents, and a cook fly.
Mule deer hunting is offered from our ranch house and our wilderness camp. Hunts are done on horseback and take us to the migration areas and winter ranges where the mule deer are typically found. Boulder Basin hunters have a high success rate on four and five-point bucks, with average scores of 150 inches and up. We offer five-day hunts in late October and early November, depending on the dates Game and Fish determine. If you have a license for elk or antelope, we offer combo hunts as well!
Our bear hunts are usually done from our wilderness camp, and they are often seven-day hunts. Spring archery is from April 15th – 30th. Baiting is not permitted due to grizzly bear regulations therefore, we use the sight and stalk method.

We offer three and seven-day archery hunts in September during the peak of the rut. We typically have four hunters every week. These hunts are always the trip of a lifetime with a mix of excitement and challenge. At Boulder Basin, we work hard to provide a great experience and hunt, with a success rate of 90% opportunity and a 33% kill rate on mature bulls.
In November and December, we offer late-season bull elk hunts. It’s one of the most sought-after hunting licenses in the western United States. Our hunters get to experience trophy bull elk hunts in many of the top locations of Northwest Wyoming from our wilderness base camp on horseback. The location depends on where the hunters draw their licenses. It’s on these hunts that hunters often harvest the largest bull elk and win awards!
Our rifle elk hunts are three or seven-day hunts from our wilderness tent camp during the general season in October. Our hunters experience an 85% success rate on mature five and six-point bulls due to the heavy number of resident elk and the migration during that time. We usually have six hunters per week in camp, and it’s always a fun time!
