Wyoming Elk Outfitters: Chase Trophy Bulls in the Peak of the Rut with Graylight Outfitters


When it comes to Western big game hunting, few experiences can match the adrenaline and intensity of hunting elk during the rut. At Graylight Outfitters, we are proud to be one of the premier Wyoming elk outfitters offering hunters the unique chance to rifle hunt trophy bull elk in one of the most sought-after times of the season — right in the heart of the rut.


Wilderness Hunting at Its Finest


Our elk hunts take place deep in Wyoming’s Unit 70, a pristine section of the Teton Wilderness bordering Yellowstone National Park. This is true wilderness hunting: no roads, no crowds, and no shortcuts. We access remote hunting areas on horseback, setting up comfortable backcountry camps where you’ll wake up every morning surrounded by towering peaks, bugling bulls, and endless opportunities.


For hunters who dream of a true Western elk hunt, there is nothing like hearing a bull elk scream at first light while you move through the timber — rifle in hand, heart pounding.


Rare Opportunities You Won’t Find in Other States


One of the things that sets our hunts apart from many other Wyoming elk outfitters — and from outfitters in states like Utah and Arizona — is the ability to rifle hunt bull elk during the rut.


In much of the West, prime rut hunts are reserved for archery seasons only. Rifle hunts typically come after the peak rut has ended, when elk behavior changes and bulls become harder to locate. In highly regulated states like Utah and Arizona, rut rifle tags are incredibly limited and can take decades of preference points to draw.


But here in Wyoming’s Unit 70, hunters with a general season tag can experience the unmatched action of bugling, rut-crazed bulls while carrying a rifle — a rare and thrilling combination. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime type of hunt that many hunters wait years for elsewhere, but is much more achievable in Wyoming with good planning and a strong outfitter behind you.


A Full-Service Backcountry Experience


At Graylight Outfitters, we handle every aspect of your hunt so you can focus on the experience. Our seasoned guides, experienced wranglers, and sturdy horses are your ticket into some of the wildest and most productive elk country left in America.


Each hunt is fully outfitted, with comfortable wall tents, hearty meals, and personalized attention from start to finish. Whether it’s your first elk hunt or your fiftieth, we work hard to match each hunter with the right guide and the right strategy to make your hunt a success.
