Rough Country Outfitters General Permit Lodge Elk Hunt

General Permit, Private Land, Lodge Hunt

Our General Permit, Lodge based elk hunts are conducted on several exclusive private ranch leases in the foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains of South Central Wyoming! For many years, we have strictly limited our hunters, taking only good, mature bulls! RCO has maintained shooting opportunity rates of over 90 percent, with actual harvest success rates averaging 75 to 85% for over 25 years! Due to numerous back-roads and jeep trails on our private ranch lands, we can access the majority of the back-country with 4x4 vehicles, rather than horses, generally making this a relatively easier style of elk hunt! With gentler terrain, this is an excellent elk hunt suitable for almost any hunter! Our rustic lodge is a beautiful, well appointed, 5000 sq. foot, hand-hewn custom log building, with all the modern conveniences of home! General Permit elk licenses are readily drawn with only a couple of preference points, so there is no need to wait any longer for a great elk hunt in Wyoming! For the traditional meat hunter, we also offer fun and highly successful cow elk hunts!
