All hunts are conducted on private ranches. Management of the game herds is a crucial element in consistently producing trophy western big game animals for our clientele. Some ranches do have parcels of BLM and National Forest on or adjacent to the ranches, but access is strictly controlled by the private property.

     Our goal at Powder Horn Outfitters is to provide the best opportunity for hunters to harvest trophy western big game on their hunt. Also, being comfortable, not only in the camps, but with the people running the operation is crucial for an enjoyable and memorable hunt. We hope you take the time to contact us for your western trophy big game adventure.
