...and
as the cool air marks the change of the season, the fall rifle season
begins. For generations this hunt has been the hallmark of the
western style hunt, and for the last 25 years the Welder's have cut their
teeth on the hunting and horse packing of the fall rifle hunt. Hunters that come to the Welder's for a full service guided elk hunt can be sure that we will do everything possible to make their hunt a great experience. Each hunter will get personal service, and the hunt plan is built around each hunter's specific interests, such as horses, type of hunting, group size, couples, hosting friends, business associates, location method of hunting, as well as physical ability. |

Our
guided hunters stay with us, at the Welder's, thirty miles east of Meeker
on the White River. For those that want a little more privacy such as
business associates, friends, or couples, you can stay at our beautiful
cabin on the river, which is near the house and has a full kitchen and
five beds (we never host more then eight hunters at any time). We put up
to seven hunters at the house with a maximum of two to a room. We do not base our success on the number of hunters that we go through. Each hunter is a special guest. Hunting can be very hard and we know our hunters can hunt harder for more days when their well fed and rested. Sometimes a Successful hunt means you have to be as prepared on the fifth day of a hunt as you were on the first day. |

A typical day during the hunt begins at the Welders for breakfast and hunt preparation with the guides. When not hunting from the ranch, we transport a short distance to one of the many access points along the White River. This covers over ten miles of upper white River, both north and south of the river. Hunting in this manner allows us to provide a very wide range of hunting opportunities and adjust to the migration of the elk. |
|
We
ride out early in the morning to the hunting areas, often climbing over
1,000 vertical feet on horseback. At the end of a hard day of
hunting, guests can look forward to the comforts of home and a great
family-style meal as the guides and hunters share stories of another
hunting adventure around the fire . |

Archery
and muzzle loading seasons are the first of the big game elk hunts of the
year. Archery is a 30 day season begins the last week of August and the
muzzle loading runs 10 days starting in mid September. These hunts are the premier elk hunts because they are during the rut and a hunter may encounter many elk at very close range before getting a shot. This hunt is not for the faint of hart. Unit 24 is the home of the largest elk herd in North America. Game management unit 24 is broken down between the north and south of the White River. Both areas offer great hunting, as we often hunt locations where the same elk go back and forth across this unit. In recent years most out of state hunters get the south side in one application. The North side is almost as open. With one preference point a hunter will very likely get the draw in both areas. Welder Outfitting Services books their hunts on a first come - first serve bases, not just by season dates. If we can start a hunt on the date that works for you and your group, we will do our best to make it work We most often host our hunters from the Welder’s home because of the close distance to the hunting areas, but we also provide these hunts from our (Milk Creek) backcountry camp, provided there are at least four hunters in the group. These archery and muzzle loading hunts are for the most avid hunters. Archery and muzzle loading hunts are very challenging and we often hike more and use the horses less then in the rifle seasons. Being mobile is important. The Welder’s and their guides consider this season to be the most challenging and rewarding of the elk hunts. A good day of bugling makes for great hunting. Our services are first class and superb value. Hunters of Welder Outfitting Services will get very personal attention from Shawn and Brian and their guides
