A hunting trip to Wyoming is something that you may have waited years to do, and may feel that you want more of an experience than just hunting one animal. Many people take advantage of the ability to hunt more than one species. There are several good combination hunts we offer to help you experience your Wyoming Safari! Many of the Wyoming hunt areas hold great hunting for multiple animals. Deer and Antelope combinations are the most common, but we can tailor any type of hunt you want to experience. If you have the desire and time, we can even achieve the Wyoming trifecta of all three common big game; antelope, deer, and elk.
