Hi! I'm Tony Carricato with my wife Trisha and our sons, Chaze, Wyatt, and Tuker. We live on the family's 1600-acre ranch 10 miles east of Saratoga, Wyoming in the Rocky Mountains where everyday we see scores of wildlife including antelope, deer, and elk. We invite you to join us as we scout out and track down the big ones while providing a complete and professional hunting experience in the incredibly beautiful surroundings.

The ranch where we do some of our hunting was originally homesteaded by my wife's family over 111 years ago. In addition to the 1600 acres available for hunting on our ranch, we can also access other public and private land, making a total of 3500 acres available to our hunters. Once you arrive at the house and check the accuracy of your guns, we may all get together and have dinner to get acquainted.

Our right-hand guide is Bart, from Montana, who has been guiding for many years. In his off time, he is an avalanche control specialist, an EMT and works for Search and Rescue. Among the three of us, we have nearly 50 years of experience in the mountains, hunting and guiding.

           Our ranch is where we do much of the antelope hunting and deer hunting. We provide guiding and hunting for both archery hunting and rifle hunting for elk, deer and antelope, although archery elk hunting in the wilderness is our specialty. Our premier hunts are guided horseback elk hunts for both bow hunting and rifle hunting in the Huston Park Wilderness near Encampment, Wyoming. This area, in the Sierra Madre Range, offers over 48 square miles of territory to hunt. These hunts are truly exciting and offer a unique opportunity to enjoy a tent camp atmosphere in the remote Wyoming forests. Comfortable tents with cots and wood stoves as well as all meals are provided for hunters. Our camp cook serves up hearty meals in our large dining tent, offering a perfect spot to socialize with the other hunters and to warm up and relax after a day of hunting.
          Spot and stalk hunts from 4x4 pickups are also available, though these are typically just for deer and antelope hunting. Such hunts are typically done on our large ranch, which offers hilly, sagebrush-covered terrain perfectly suited for antelope hunting as well as wooded terrain for deer. Our hunts have high success rates for big game animals -- elk, deer and antelope. We also have experience with handicapped hunting and we welcome disabled hunters.
          Since we are a small, family-run outfitter, we offer a unique "down-home" experience that is different from what you can expect from the larger, corporate outfitters. The guides have hunted these areas for many years, they know the terrain, and they know where you can expect to see game. Despite the down-to-earth, family atmosphere, our guides are experienced, licensed professionals who have hunted these hills for years and enjoy showing guests what hunting in Wyoming is really all about. Come join us!

          We run a family business where everyone is involved. Trisha guides, packs, wrangles, cooks, transports hunters, and handles phone calls. Chaze and Wyatt will be at the house checking your guns and letting you know where the big ones are. They even go along occasionally to help in the spotting department or to let you know whether one is worth taking or not. Chaze has started to call elk and gut antelope. Wyatt will be right there telling you where he saw the last big one, and telling you how to stay on his horse!
          This is just a taste of Battle Pass Outfitting, so if you're looking for a fantastic time, please give us a call! In addition to answering any questions, we'll give you the names of past hunters who have enjoyed their experiences with us so you can hear their stories. Even if you can't come out this year, feel free to give us a call just to chat. If you happen to be in the area, stop by for a visit -- we would love to have lunch with you!
