The Western season.

Bulls bugling through Colorado timber in September, pronghorn on the Wyoming sage, and mule deer coming down with the first hard weather — hosted on Western ground.

Western tags are the whole game. Some are over-the-counter, some are landowner vouchers, and some are lottery draws with application deadlines months out — pronghorn in Wyoming closes on 1 June. Your host runs the applications and tells you honestly which route your year allows.

September is the bugle — archery, bulls vocal, the best mature-bull encounters of the year. Rifle seasons follow through October and November. Spring means bears over the green-up. We confirm state seasons, draw results and tags for your year before anything is booked.

The experience

Camp, not a resort.

Western outfitting runs from a wall tent at the end of a horse trail to a ranch house with a porch facing the peaks. Either way the day starts in the dark, the glassing starts at grey light, and dinner is whatever the week has produced.

A founder on the mountain.

US trips are hosted end to end — the outfitter runs the unit, and your Huntica host runs everything around it, from the draw application months out to the meat and the cape going home.
