Reviewer Comments: Ward and Steve made my early October antelope hunt a nice success and a lot of fun. They know their business, and their long experience shows. Ward has leased some excellent ranches, and the number of antelope was more or less unlimited. I was guided by Steve, who's an outstanding guide and a first-rate guy. Overall, Antelope Outfitters has wide open sagebrush hunting at its best. There was a small screw-up in our hotel accomodations that was partly my fault, but I'd recommend confirming your lodging in detail with the hotel yourself. That way you'll avoid any confusion on arrival.

Reviewer Comments: This was my first hunt with Ward Anderson/Antelope Outfitters—by any measure it was an experience of a lifetime. If you are looking for a Mule Deer and/or Antelope hunt in Wyoming look no further. Ward and Steve are top notch guides who work extremely hard to get you on the game you are hunting. I really like the fact they will not ask or push you to do things that you are not comfortable doing, they go out of their way to make it “your hunt” and accommodating you is clearly a top priority. Having hunted for several decades I have never hunted with anyone who had as much knowledge of how these animals react to various conditions and events as they did. It was an incredible education to hunt with them. I am planning to take my son hunting with them next year which is the best recommendation I can make. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding Antelope Outfitters—they are top notch in anyone's book.

Reviewer Comments: Ward & Steve did an excellent job of guiding our group of four. As a matter of fact, all four of us filled our tags on the first day, and with all nice antelope!. My antelope was the biggest of the four and it scored (78. 0/8) B&C, that's a nice antelope for as dry as it's been the past 5 - 6 years out west. These guys do a good job of guiding and they are as down to earth, hard working type of guys you ever want to meet. I highly recommend Antelope Outfitters for great antelope hunting!

Reviewer Comments: Ward and Steve are for real. They will work hard and do eveything they can to make your hunt a sucess. Steve put me on a nice 14" Antelope and Ward put me beautiful 5x4 Mule Deer. Harvested Both!! The Mule Deer hunt was great. Ward and I did a two hour stalk and got to within 90 yards of him. Great Stalk Ward!! Good Guys. Because we had hunted Mule Deer so hard, by the end of our hunt my hunting buddy had not shot an Antelope. So Ward took him out the next morning, not part of our allotted hunting time, and put my friend on a nice 12" Antelope. He also had taken a decent 4x4 the day before. I highly reccomend these guys. I know I will be returning.

Reviewer Comments: I hunted here Oct 1 2003. That's all it took for me to take a 24 inch Mule deer and a 15 1/4 inch antelope. I could not believe how many animals there were. I filled out the first day, as did the other three hunters that were there when I was. I was Completely satisfied with everything they id. The country is beautiful and Ward honestly wants to provide you with a good hunt. He is not an absentee rich owner. He is a working class man, that cares about his clients, and loves to hunt. I am not connected with these folks, I just want people to know who is good and who is not. Call me if you consider booking. I will tell you the truth. I went on a disaster of a hunt. It sucked. This is a great hunt if you want a nice trophy, Not a Monster, and want to see lots of game.

Reviewer Comments: Ward and I spent a lot of time on the phone prior to this hunt working out details. It was to be a 3 day hunt with other hunting at extra charge. He was sure we would get our Antelope on the first day. Then we did not draw the tags for the area. So, he set us up on a second draw in a lesser area, as for horn size. He would not charge us for the prairie dog shooting since the area had changed, or we could cancel the hunt, and redraw next year. There were three in the group that went from Kansas. The other options were pheasant hunting and Mule deer hunting. All of these we could do in Kansas for large quality then the area in wyoming was posting and for much less. So, we banked on the dog shooting. Arrival in the hotel we meet Ward and one of the quides. Ward inquried about the caliber of our weapons, then appeared to place us in best areas but the size of gun we were going to carry. 7mm, 308, 270. We as a group found it funny that this was one of those magnum crazed freeks, and only long range kills come from magnums. We had a lot of jokes between us since we weren't carring MAGNUMS. He then told us that the state had posioned the dogs. There was an area about 45 minutes away on public land that there might be some dogs. We got up and went to beakfast and meet our 2nd quide, who told us he had not been out this property this year. So, much for the paying for scouting. Sure by lunch we all had our antelopes. By the way, the Magnum missed his 1st shot but killed it as dead as our non magnums on the second shoot. Back at the hotel, the guides did not know of a place to take dog shooting, so we went around town to guns stores. The weather was going to change to snow and with the guides not knowing a place to take us, we spoke with Steve, and reported our concerns that things were not developing as planned. And we wanted to speak with Ward. He went back talked amoungs ourselfs and decided to head back to Kansas and shoot dogs. We thought it reasonable to reburse 2 nights hotel and meals for two days. At 10pm not hearing from Ward, we called him and went to his room to talk with him. We did not hold Ward at fault for the weather or the posining of the dogs. From that point the experince went sore. He had no concern in regards to the mix up in hunting for dogs. And that he had a place but was not sure there was any dogs there. He at first wanted to charge us for shooting dogs then changed is stance and said that is something he might say. His response was he had given an excellent antelope hunt. Yes, but it was Antelope and parire dogs. He told us that he was going to talk with us regarding the concerns from our guide in the morining (0450). And that he was making plans that night to take us shooting. I thought it was rude not to talk to us that night or at least notify us we were to meet him in the am to talk about this concern. It was a 20-30 minute meeting and his general treatment of us, I thought was poor. He told us we make all the mistakes and there was noting that was his mistake or lead to our concerns. We left the next morning for Kansas and had two days of great dog hunting. Will not go back or recommend Ward or Antelope outfitters to others.
