We are permitted to hunt Big Horn Sheep areas 1 thru 5 in northwest Wyoming. The season runs from September 1st to October 20th in areas 4 and 5 respectively, and until October 31st in 1,2, and 3. These are 10-day hunts and are guided 1 on 1. If, for some reason, you don’t fill out during your first stay, arrangements can be made for you to come back later in the season. We hunt horseback until a ram is found, at which time it usually becomes foot/backpack work. The camp situation varies from a spike camp, to a base camp in our main area, to day hunting from the house or cabin later in the season when the sheep are moving to the winter range. This is the most incredible time to be in the mountains here in northwest Wyoming.

Best of the West Productions (BOTW) initially formed in 2003 as a hunting television production company, formerly known as Bridger Trails Video. Their specialty was long range hunting and the system of choice was a Remington Sendero 7mm Magnum with a Leupold VariX 3 scope. Two technological advances in long range shooting made this possible: (1) Laser range finders and (2) Very Low Drag (VLD) bullets with high Ballistic Coefficients (BC). As BOTW used these systems, they found various shortcomings and began developing their own high quality custom gun and a rifle scope that incorporates ballistic information in a turret-reticle design. In 2007 BOTW rolled out the Huskemaw 5-20×50 rifle scope with a custom calibrated turret that matched a specific load in a specific rifle to a specific elevation and temperature. This rifle scope was the first of its kind and, with BOTW proprietary software, was able to precisely calculate a bullet’s trajectory in specific environmental conditions. BOTW could also precisely calculate the amount of wind deflection that would occur and give shooters the means of compensating for wind drift.

The BOTW philosophy, which flies in the face of philosophies that have stood for generations, was not welcomed in the hunting community: (1) Bullet performance is more important than velocity; (2) Ethical hunting can occur beyond 300 yards and even at extreme ranges; (3) Compensating for wind drift is not a guessing game. The BOTW television series was the means to prove their technology and dismiss philosophies that have grounded many hunters. They demonstrate time and time again that shots at extreme ranges are possible with this technology.

As news began to spread, Best of the West emerged as the Long Range Hunting Authority. The success of the television series has led to the online retail store, LongRangeStore.com, which carries gear featured in the show, and a custom ammunition product line, which is specifically for extended ranges.
