Experience Overview
There will be a couple different training options combined with 3 days of cow elk hunting on a private ranch in northern Wyoming (Quarter Circle Eleven Ranch Outfitters, Outfitter Lic # BG 363) during this time frame in 2025. It is a great way to improve your skills, and fill the freezer at the same time. We will post specific hunt dates during this period in early 2025. To ensure you have the correct tag as a non-resident we recommend you apply before the Jan 31 non-resident deadline. Please read the following information carefully.
You will have two opportunities to draw these tags. First is in the general tag draw which takes place in May and non-residents must apply for before January 31st. To have a chance at a unit 58 tag you should apply prior to this deadline.
If you miss the deadline in January there will be a second opportunity in June in the leftover tag draw and there are normally plenty of unit 61 tags left over but very few if any 58 tags. There is a short time frame here so our recommendation is to apply prior to January 31 in the general drawing.
This hunt requires a Wyoming Reduced Price Cow/Calf Elk Tag. This is a DRAWING ONLY and CANNOT BE PURCHASED OVER THE COUNTER. There are three different tag options which are all valid on a portion of the ranch. The ranch property is split by the unit boundary so Elk unit 61 and unit 58 tags are both valid on portions of the ranch. For unit 61 the Type 6 and Type 7 reduced price cow/calf tags are valid. IF YOU APPLY FOR THE 61 TAG, CHECK THE SEASON DATES CAREFULLY TO MAKE SURE IT CORRESPONDS TO YOUR DESIRED DATES IN NOVEMBER OR DECEMBER. The Area 61 Type 6 tag is valid from Nov 7 to Dec 21. The Area 61 Type 7 tag is valid from Sept 1 to Dec 21.
For unit 58 you will need the Type 6 reduced price cow/calf tag. This tag is valid Oct 1 to Dec 21. This tag is harder to draw and a non resident must apply in January. If you have a 58 tag in your pocket you will likely have half of the ranch to yourself during the hunt.
The unit 61 type 6 and type 7 tags , are fairly easy for a non-resident to draw in the Wyoming Leftover Tag Draw which takes place in Mid June of each year. The Area 61 Type 7 tag was 100% draw odds for non resident in the 2024 leftover draw. If you select the "reduced price" tag option this will not affect your Wyoming preference points. For more information please refer to this website.
You will be responsible for securing your own lodging and transportation in Cody Wyoming. Lunches will be provided during the training and during the hunt. There are some great restaurants in Cody for dinner and great breakfast options as well.
LRU Overview
Long Range University exists for the specific purpose of helping you make quick ethical one shot kills in the field. The core of our content is contained in our L1, L2, and L3 classes which utilize a building block approach to provide education and training in every factor which impacts your lethal hit probability. Interwoven throughout all three classes is a training strategy which will improve your ability to function under pressure and significantly extend the range and conditions under which you can take an ethical shot. At Long Range University you will learn to recognize when the conditions are not suitable to ensure a lethal hit.
You will use our Gunwerks Shooting systems during the L1 and L2 classes, however what you learn will apply to any long range shooting system. Using a Gunwerks rifle system and ammunition for this course facilitates and accelerates the learning process. This allows you to focus on the core class content and leave equipment concerns to the instructor. Put wear and tear on our rifle not yours.
In our L3 class we encourage you to bring your personal rifle regardless of manufacturer. This is where you really learn the capability and limits of your “system” which includes you and your marksmanship ability, your rifles capability, your ballistic program, and your ability to compensate for wind and other environmental conditions, all in a realistic mountain hunting environment.
