Experience Overview
The 2025 hunting season extends into January of 2026 with a Cow / Calf Reduced price Elk tag Unit 61 TYPE 7. Although the weather can be very unpredictable in January, 40 degrees and sunny or minus 10 degrees and blowing, this late late season hunt can be epic because the worse the weather the more elk pile into the foothills. This hunt is held on a private ranch a short drive from Cody Wyoming. (Quarter Circle Eleven Ranch Outfitters, Outfitter Lic # BG 363). We combine one day of training with three days of elk hunting.
The Nonresident application deadline is January 31, 2025 and your draw odds should be 100%. If you miss the deadline in January, or fail to draw, there will be a second opportunity in June in the leftover tag draw and there are normally plenty of unit 61 TYPE 7 tags available.There is a short time frame to apply in June so our recommendation is to apply prior to January 31 in the general drawing.
Make sure you select the "reduced price" tag option so 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.

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.
