Hunt 1 – River Bottom Elk, Private Land, Lodge Hunt, Limited Quota
This hunt takes place in a highly coveted elk unit where most of the primary habitat is private land. That private ground lets these bull elk reach impressive sizes, making it well worth the wait — though you’ll need roughly 8+ preference points to draw this tag.
This is our least physical hunt, perfect for hunters who may not want to tackle steep mountain terrain. You’ll be hunting hayfields, cottonwood creek bottoms, and aspen parks. The area also boasts a high bull-to-cow ratio, making it an archery hunter’s dream.
For our rifle hunts, you’ll typically spend the first couple of days glassing different groups of elk — what we like to call “shopping around.” Once we’ve found the right bull, we’ll put on the stalk. This area consistently delivers, with a 98% success rate on elk hunts.
If getting around in the high country is tough for you, this hunt offers an outstanding opportunity to chase quality bulls in beautiful, accessible country.
Hunt 2 – Foothill Elk, Private Land, Lodge Hunt, General Permit
This hunt takes place in a General Elk License area, which means tags are more accessible than in limited quota areas — though you’ll still need to draw. The application deadline is January 31 each year, so be sure to plan ahead.
This private ranch offers an easier style of hunting with four-wheel drive access across the entire property. The landscape features gentle rolling hills covered in aspen parks, ponderosa, and lodgepole pine, giving you a beautiful and varied setting to hunt elk.
You’ll pursue elk from open hay meadows into darker timber. Depending on the time of year, herds here typically range from 25 to 250 elk. These elk usually feed in the meadows during the mornings and evenings, then move into dense pine stands for mid-day cover.
For early archery elk hunts, we have wallows set up, but we especially enjoy calling and stalking elk — it’s an exciting way to hunt and takes full advantage of this ranch’s terrain and herd behavior.
Hunt 3 – Mountain Elk, Private Land, Tent Camp, General Permit
This ranch is the newest addition to Tyler Sims Outfitting, and since we first started guiding here in 2012, it’s delivered outstanding results — including 100% success on trophy bulls that first season. It’s too good of a property to pass up, and we’re proud to offer limited hunts on this remarkable ground.
Depending on the time of year you book, you can expect to see herds ranging from 25 to 250 elk. This is our most physically demanding elk hunt, but the rewards speak for themselves. You’ll spend your days glassing rolling foothills, timber parks, and two separate drainages, tracking elk through classic mountain country.
This hunt is based out of a traditional wall tent camp on the ranch itself. Your guides will prepare hearty meals right in camp. Once you fill out, we’ll transport you back to our main lodge for a well-earned rest.
Be ready for some long nights — during the rut, elk bugle through the dark hours as they work their way down to the hay meadows. It’s a challenge, but for many hunters, it’s an experience they wouldn’t trade for anything.
