Big Game Hunting

Big game animals such as Elk, Mule Deer, Pronghorn Antelope, Bighorn Sheep and Moose outnumber Wyoming residents 2 to 1. The Allen's Diamond Four Ranch has offered excellent guided big game hunts since 1973.

With two remote wilderness elk camps, you can enjoy an old - fashioned guided horseback hunt just like Teddy Roosevelt did when he hunted Wyoming in the late 1800's. Or you can choose to hunt elk from our 9,200' mountain ranch and stay in a comfortable cabin instead of a tent or hunt desert elk from our valley ranch. We also have top quality Antelope, Deer, Bighorn Sheep and Moose hunts for the discriminating outdoorsman. All Wyoming Elk Licenses are sold via lottery in January, and all other species are by lottery in March. Please contact Jim Allen for license application deadlines and for full details on booking a guided hunt.

DEPOSIT POLICY & GETTING YOUR LICENSE: All Wyoming hunting licenses are on computer draw and I prefer to assist my clients in filing their hunting license applications. I suggest you fill out your license application and attach license fee consisting of a cashiers check or personal check payable to Wyoming Game & Fish. Then send it to me. I will check it for mistakes, complete hunt areas and type, photocopy it and send it down to Game & Fish prior to application deadline. Elk license applications are accepted January 1-31, deer and antelope applications are accepted January 1-March 15. Once you have drawn, I request a 25% non-refundable deposit, and the balance Sept 1st. However, you may send your deposit earlier and I will refund it to you if you don't draw. The balance is non-refundable once the hunt begins.
First come -first serve. Be prepared to show your license in Lander. I highly recommend building preference points.
ONCE YOU BOOK YOUR HUNT: Please practice shooting your rifle at 300 & 400 yards in various positions, not just from a bench. Work out and increase lung capacity. Smoking will work against you at high altitudes, and it isn't real safe during tinder dry conditions anyway. Upon your arrival in Lander, we will go to the rifle range and check to insure that your rifle is sighted in for 200 yards. Conservation Stamps $10.50, can be purchased in town.
PREFERENCE POINTS: Wyoming began a preference point system for non-resident elk, deer and antelope on January 1, 2006. Elk preference points cost $50, deer $40 and antelope are $30. I highly recommend preference points for elk and antelope. You can apply for an elk license with the preference point option from January 1-31. If you do not draw, Game and Fish will refund your license money and keep $50 and award you an elk preference point. Or you can buy an elk preference point only with no chance for a license from July 1-September 30. You can apply for an antelope license with a preference point option from January 1-March 15. Or you can buy an antelope preference point from July 1-September 30. I will be happy to manage your preference points for you if you just want to send me a check payable to Wyoming Game and Fish in the amount of the desired species preference point. An applicant may fail to apply for a license or fail to purchase a preference point for one year without losing accumulated preference points. However, if an applicant fails to properly apply for a license or purchase a preference point for two consecutive years, the accumulated preference points will be deleted by Game and Fish. Please call me, Jim Allen, anytime for information about applying for licenses and preference point strategy or you can ask the Wyoming Game and Fish Department for more information.
