1st you DO NOT need a outfitter, fishnski is on trhe money on the hunt. I killed my bull last year on shadow, Dr. Harju killed his there the year before. The guy that Killed That big bull last year had passed on 3 or 4 bulls on Shadow.
The season last year ran from mid Sep to mid Dec.
The had part off the hunt is handleing all the meat, Call you tag-em-we-drag-em and let them know your coming. That was the best 300$ I ever spent. They will tell ya about were the bison are in the hunt area and save ya a lot time and money. They are really good people and earn there money.
Have a flat bed trailer or a pickup that dose not have a topper to load the bison on. Contact the meat locker in Jackson before you Kill your bison , they only have so much room and you don't want to let any of the meat spoil. there is a lot of meat on a Bison, I processed mine at home after they skinned it and let it hang in the cooler in Jackson over night. ( that ran 200$ but the meat was clean and I did not lose any). I got 364 1lbs + pakages of burger and 80+ of steaks and roast.
I have the hunt area maps here somewhere and will pm you when I find them. I'll mail you them.
You Dads going to have a Great hunt, Wyo. G&F people are great but watch the NF and park service people. they can be real jerks.
