Hi everyone! Sorry we have been out of contact with you. I've been through several surgereys and literally been unable to type. I'm still healing but doing well. Hope you all had a wonderful 2009 so far! We had a busy bear hunting time in May and prairie dog hunting in June which really kept the gun barrels warmed up and a couple pack trips into the Mt. Zirkel wilderness area. The fishing has been great as well. We're now gearing up for our2009 hunting season and August 28th is our first drop camp hunt into the Mt. Zirkels then it's antelope camp on the Bolten. Looking forward to a great season! Please contact us for 2010 so we can help you with areas, dates, times, odds, etc. and your applications. Remember lion season starts late November through February. We will look forward to hearing from you!! Tune in for pictures soon.

100 % success last year on private land!

2008-01-19T17:29:00.000-07:00

Ray had patience. After a few tries he drew a limited quota permit for the private land we hunt. His reward was this 310 bull late in October 2007.

Paul and Steve both drew tags for private land. Archery is their game so we hunted during the rut in September. We saw non-stop action nearly all day, every day. Both had hunted elk on their own many times, however their first guided hunt provided them both with their first archery bull elk. Steve took this 6 point and Paul collected a 5 point in Sept. of 2007.

Our clients had 100% success on the private land and 100% shooting on public land.

For your guided hunt, call us for success! 307-327-5539

This year the SCI convention is January 23, 24, 25, and 26 in Reno, Nevada. We'll be set up in booth 5314 by the registration and are excited to see you there. The Safari Club International is the leader in protecting the freedom to hunt and in promoting wildlife conservation worldwide!

The Convention is on! Ask any member who has attended the SCI Convention, and you will likely hear, “Wow! You’ve got to go. It’s the ultimate hunters’ market.” Many people simply call this members-only event "The Show." - http://www.scifirstforhunters.org/content/index.cfm?action=view&content_id=104&Content_Menu_ID=104

See you there!

B&C Trophy Hunts

2008-01-01T16:16:00.000-07:00

Ron Hale got an official B&C 86 Antelope this fall. He went hunting with his two grandsons. Everyone had great opportunities for shots at trophy antelope. Our guide was Starr Cooke.

Platt Outfitting hunts 5 differnet private land areas in Carbon County, Wyoming - known for the best antelope hunting around. Carbon County produces more trophy Boone and Crocket Antelope than any other county in the nation. Check out our website for more pictures! http://www.plattoutfitting.com/

Wild Horses Galore

2007-12-29T16:08:00.001-07:00

Here is a great shot that Tom made on a photo safari earlier this year!

It was dusk, but Tom took a great shot anyway. If you look at the right hand side, the horses are going to water, but I guess a couple of them had to work something out first.

Look at the muscles on the white horse - aren't they spectacular! We see nature like this all the time on our photo safaris, so give us a call and schedule your very own photo safari with Platt Outfitters. Call Mayvon or Ron at 307-327-5539, or email us at plattoutfitting@gmail.com.

See you soon!
