Manti outfitters?

[txhunter58]

I hope to draw a Manti tag this year or next. This year due to another hunt in September, I will be applying for the late rifle tag. If I don’t draw this year, I may apply for Muzzy tag next year. I have had 2 very good recommendations for outfitters: Gooch’s and Apex. Just heard about Apex, and they sound like a good outfit, but have heard good things about Gooch’s for years. If anyone has info/ recommendations about them or others, please PM me. Thx

Wade Lemon has a few guys that guide the Manti.

I would go with Apex. Brett is a solid guy and won't lead you astray.

I've had Brett help me on several hunts. He will work hard to get you what you are after and his guides know the Manti very well since its in their backyards. You wont be disappointed

J & J outfitters. Awesome guys, and they’re killers for sure. They hunt the Manti A lot.

 

[Hnttillmt]

J&J ? Are you sure they outfit on the Manti?

 

[PleaseDear]

Apex for sure. Go to their Instagram and see the Bulls they took off the late hunt last year.

Used to be Ron Greene that owned a high fence elk farm in Ephraim, you texas guys would feel more at home there??

 

[txhunter58]

Ha! I could kill a 400 bull less than 50 miles from my home in Texas any day of the year. But what would be the point???

I will mount it if I get one in Utah, but I couldn't bring myself to shoot and mount a high fenced elk. The memory is what is important to me, not the mount. But you knew that!!

I can set one up for you down here if you want me to!

 

[txhunter58]

My Avitar is from a hunt where the only thing we killed was a cow elk (by my brother with a muzzleloader). One of the best hunts I have ever been on!

Is your Avitar a cabin you own or have been to? Cool Picture!

 

[grosventrehunter]

I second Wade Lemon. You could hunt the Manti and all of the closed units in Utah. Being from Texas, you can slap a Texas flag sticker on your gun, post a few pictures on MM, and have Tristate handle the taxidermy. Win-win......

 

[txhunter58]

No way I can contact him. Some of us on MM use the block feature so we don’t have to listen to certain people!?

Another vote for Brett with Apex Outfitters. He's as good and honest as they get and he lives in the Manti unit.

apex outfitters, brett and jace

 

[Cam@strawberry]

Can’t go wrong with either of the outfits you mentioned

 

[diablo]

Or you could DIY. Lots of elk on the Manti - no need for a guide IMO.

Shane Scott had some good guides on the Manti great crew to hunt with.

 

[El Gringo]

J&J ? Are you sure they outfit on the Manti?

Well… Now that you say that…. I know they operate on at least one CWMU on the Manti, and I THOUGHT they guided the public as well, although I wouldn’t bet a paycheck on it, now that you say that.

Yessir now the baileys own it. They ripped out a bunch of those high fences though and there’s no more elk.

Saudis need their hay?

Yeah I miss waking up every morning and hearing the elk bugle. Oh I’m just lucky my uncles farm borders the baileys so we still get some elk and deer down in our fields…. Better then nothing I guess

I would recommend Apex. I hunted the late hunt with them last year and they were fantastic. They were worth every penny. They know that mountain and can out spot anybody I have ever hunted with.

 

[johnnycake]

I'm gonna jump on the Apex bandwagon. I first hunted with Brett back when he was at HTO for bison/cougar on the Henries. Since then he's helped me with info on a bunch of other hunts, and is just a straight up great guy and excellent guide. Ton of fun to hunt with, and he knows the Manti extremely well.

Hey Tex!

If you need a camera man, call me!

I know how to make those bulls look bigger than anything Texas has to offer!

Hey txhunter58, your question gets my first Monster Muley post. I have been a long time follower of Monster Muley enjoying the posts and enjoying the back and forth banter. I see you asked about Manti outfitters. I have hunted the Manti twice with Lazy Bar- T outfitters. They may also be worth a call. Jeff has done a great job of finding a me couple of big bulls. I'm sure all of the outfitters mentioned would do a great job for you. Good luck!
