    I strongly recommend you never allow this outfitter to ever have your email address. You will never…read moreget rid of the emails that come from them, and they come often. I have blocked at least 40-50 different email addresses from them over the past year and I continue to receive emails from new addresses they create to get past my blocks. I have threatened them and it hasn't changed a thing. My warning is real despite any comment they make in response.

The others you will never hear about. We have maintained the lowest prices private land hunts, from DIY to guided, in 28 states and Canada, to provide hunters like yourself the opportunity to have successful hunts, without breaking the bank. We have hunts for Elk, Bull and Cow, Mule Deer, Whitetail Deer, Antelope, Buffalo, Moose, Sheep, Goats, Bear and Exotics. I do wish you well as I do all of my hunters, and as a fellow American, we have the best country in the world under our feet. Bless you.

    My First Elk Hunt--And I'm Spoiled for Life!…read more As a native Arkansas boy who grew up chasing ducks and whitetails, I had no idea what I was getting into with my first elk hunt. But Ivory & Antler Outfitters took this 62-year-old rookie and put me on a beautiful 5x5 bull! Earl and his team are absolute masters of their craft. Earl, Ryan, and Caleb's deep knowledge of the land, terrain, and elk movement is nothing short of amazing. If you could somehow mix a pit bull with a mountain goat and throw in the loyalty of a good lab, you'd have the Ivory & Antler crew. They not only made it their personal mission to give each guest the absolute best chance to harvest an elk--they also took the time to educate us about the habits and patterns of these incredible animals. I had no idea that Rand, Colorado is a wintering ground for elk from a 50-100 mile radius. Every year, these animals migrate from their spring and summer range to settle in and around Rand for the winter--just like they've done for thousands of years! If you've never hunted this part of the world, get ready. Along with elk, you're likely to see moose, black bear, mule deer, and antelope. Dorothy, you ain't in Kansas anymore when you sign up with Ivory & Antler Outfitters! Shout out to Larry--the amazing chef. If you want for anything while you're staying at the Ivory & Antler lodge, it's your own fault. Larry lives to cook, serve, and make sure you're never without some of the best food you've ever eaten. The man is a legend in the kitchen. In Summary: I highly recommend Ivory & Antler Outfitters. If you're considering an all-inclusive, guided elk hunt, give Earl a call. This is far more than just a hunt--it's an experience you'll never forget. I certainly won't. Earl, Ryan, Caleb--salute! You guys are the best!

    Over the course of my hunting career, I have hunted with a number of outfitters. Ivory and Antler…read moreOutfitters is a "world class" operation. The guides are extremely knowledgeable in the species that you are hunting. In my case, I had a license for bull moose that took 30 years to get. The head of the company, Earl Oesterling, was very informative about everything I needed to do to prepare. Two months in advance, he showed me the area we would be hunting. He described the behavior patterns of the bulls before the rut, during the rut, and late in the rut (when I would be hunting). He explained all the variables that could come into play to enhance my hunt, or that might hinder it. My guides, Richard Robinson and Ryan Perdue, are extremely knowledgeable in the habits and behavior patterns of bull moose late in the rut. I interacted with all the other members of the staff at camp. Each employee was levelheaded, knowledgeable about wild game and hunting, and had an agreeable personality. As an employer myself, I quickly saw that there was not one lazy or lax person among the employees. The kitchen was well equipped, and it was more than adequate for feeding the hunters staying there as well as the outfitter's staff. The camp cook was outstanding! We stayed in a renovated bunk house. Each bedroom had a real bed, with a good mattress and like-home bedding, as well as electricity, gas heat, and Wi-Fi (which helped me stay in touch with my business). Every piece of the company's equipment was top notch, i.e. it was more than adequate for the job, and it was in proper working order. All their trucks were in excellent condition, free of any mechanical problems, and they were more than adequate for the places we had to go. There were no badly worn or flat tires. The truck used for hauling moose back to camp had a sturdy winch, that easily pulled my moose into the bed. My guides were equipped with first-class optics. My hunt was very well run and coordinated from the beginning to the end. Everyone, even in camp, was on the lookout for moose moving around. I ended up harvesting a magnificent Boone & Crockett-class bull. After we spotted my bull, Rich and Ryan watched him and figured out where he was going. We went on a cross-country hike that lasted an hour and a half, working our way through willow breaks and hay fields, crossing irrigation ditches and streams. When we got to a point where they thought we were in his line of march, they pointed to a large area of willow brush and said that was the place he would likely step out into the open. Within two minutes, the bull stepped out exactly where my guides said he would. An hour later, my bull was in the truck and headed back to the skinning shed at camp. The next morning, I followed Earl Oesterling's truck to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife office in Steamboat Springs, where they collected a tooth and we completed all the reporting paperwork. Earl then took the carcass to a game processing plant. If I had not been successful in harvesting my bull, would I still be writing this complimentary review? Absolutely!! Would I hunt with them again? Without any hesitation!! This is a "world class" outfitter!

    WASP -- What a great time!…read more I wanted to do something special with my family on a visit to Laramie. We decided on a wilderness adventure. I discovered WASP after a Duckduckgo search -- what a find! Casino and Kelly put together a special day for the kids at a camp in Medicine Bow National Park: what to do if they get lost in the woods, how to make an emergency shelter, how to make fire with flint and steel, and some animal tracking. Then a hike, some rock climbing, and exploring caves. To say WASP is a great school is an understatement. I've attended a few other wilderness schools. Casino and Kelly are experts. They know the animal signs, the plants, all the principles of living in the wild, and so much more. And speaking as a professional educator, I can tell you they are very talented teachers and coaches. They were prepared with a lot of different activities, because kids attention spans are short. They got the kids engaged right away, held their attention, and shifted gears very smoothly. They designed activities so the kids could be successful -- which made them want to learn even more. Let's talk about logistics. They picked us up in a passenger van which was packed with drinks, snacks and gear. We were at the camp in about 40 minutes tops. There were folding chairs and a work table. And you have to see all the swag the kids got. Go ahead, check out the pictures I uploaded, I wait while you look... back so soon? Ok. Those necklaces: Emergency whistle, signal mirror, flint and steel, and a waterproof container for some cotton. The waist packs: A self-powered flashlight, a tarp with lines and stakes to make a shelter, an emergency blanket, and a small notebook. Kids forget what you gave them but they remember what you did with them. WASP could have taught us a thousand more things; maybe they will as the kids grow. But we made a life memory out there. Go, WASP!
