Got a tag in Unit 7 for elk that is the good news.
Here is the bad news:
I had earlier set up a tresspass fee hunt if I drew the tag with Turtle Rock Ranch outside of Glenrock. I called them up after I drew and confirmed the dates and the rate with them, and had it all set up.
3 days later I got a call from them and they wanted to raise the rate 10 times what we had agreed upon. I told them that we had agreed on a rate, and I had requested vacation for the time we had agreed upon, but 10X the rate I could not do it, so they cancelled our hunt.
Pretty bad experience with them. Make sure you steer clear if you hunt this unit.
Also I am new to Wyoming and was wondering if anyone knows anything about this unit. I know it has big bulls, but lots of private land.

I have hunted with Mark and Angela Grant of Turtle Rock Ranch and find them to be a honest hard working ranch family. I have always paid the the price quoted and listed on their website. Mark will bust his rear end off guiding you. There is a difference between a trespass fee and a guided elk hunt. Their website list the non resident trespass fee as $100.00. The guided bull elk hunt is $1,000.00 and cow elk hunt is $600.00. Yes, the guided bull elk hunt is ten fold a non resident trespass fee. I also know that they are one of the more affordable guided elk hunts in the area. I have hunted elk on my own for over 35 years and have several nice wall hangers. But, at 65 I like what Turtle Rock gives me, an affordable hunt on great ranch than has the animals.
I leave tomorrow for an antelope and elk hunt at the Turtle Rock Ranch with no reservations about the cost. They have always been honest.
