The Triangle X Ranch operates three hunting
camps in the Teton Wilderness region of the Jackson Hole Area directly
south of Yellowstone National Park. The camps offer
some of the finest big game hunting in America. Our region has unsurpassed
opportunities for trophy elk and moose. The hunting camps are located so
that they give us a near monopoly on one of the finest and largest hunting
areas in the state of Wyoming.
Elk
The Teton Wilderness, along with the Yellowstone National Park, summers the
bulk of the Jackson Hole Elk Herd. Our camps are located on the main
migration routes the elk take from Yellowstone to the National Elk Refuge.
We have the advantage of hunting not only the local herd, but also the elk
wandering out of Yellowstone Park. Our area produces not only some of the
largest trophies taken each year in Wyoming, but often records the highest
harvest percentage for elk in the state.
Moose
Our
hunting area offers some of the Continent's finest Shiras
Moose country and we consistently harvest Boone & Crockett Trophies. A
trophy moose hunt is a quality hunt, and can be combined with an elk and/or
deer hunt.
Deer
We
have an abundant Mule Deer Population. Hunting deer with elk and/or moose
also makes a fine combination hunt. Although the average trophy size is
often larger in other regions of Wyoming, we harvest many fine heads.
Wilderness
Hunting Camps
All
camps consist of a large cook tent with a portable cook stove, built-in
table and benches for eating, plus all the extras for your comfort. There are
10'X12' white side-wall tents for one or two hunters' sleeping quarters.
These tents are furnished with wood-stove heaters, plenty of sawed wood,
fire starter, table, raised sleeping bunks with mattresses and warm
sleeping bags. Hunters may bring their own sleeping bags if they prefer. We
also furnish linens. There is always a good cook serving the best of camp
food. The daily menus consist of a warm breakfast, hearty lunches, and for
dinner, fresh vegetables, salads and desserts, with a variety of beef or
poultry. Our professional hunting guides know the country and the habits of
big game. They are good companions to be with in the mountains. Their
primary job is to see that you have an enjoyable and successful hunt. The
camps have horse wranglers and plenty of pack mules and mountain-wise
riding horses to insure each hunter well-rested and sound stock.
LOWER CAMP is located 18 miles from our base corrals on Pacific
Creek at the wilderness trailhead. The camp lies at the foot of the famous
Big Game Ridge near the headwaters of the Snake River. We hunt from this
camp the spine of the Continental Divide, tributaries of the Yellowstone
River and the Two Ocean Plateau country, which was one of Teddy Roosevelt's
favorite hunting areas. This camp accommodates a maximum of eight hunters
and has been in its present location and under our families permit since
1938.
ENOS LAKE CAMP is located just south of the Lower Camp and can
accommodate a maximum of four hunters. It is 12 miles from our Turpin
Meadows base corrals and is near the largest lake in the wilderness. This
camp enjoys a beautiful setting and a relaxed atmosphere. Founded by our
Uncle Bert Turner in the early 1940's, this camp has a high success rate on
Elk, Moose and Deer over the years.
The
Turner Family
The
Turner Family are fourth generation outfitters in
the Jackson Hole Area, and represent one of the Rocky Mountain's oldest
outfitting families. Going back over 78 years, they carry on a famous
family tradition of welcoming sportsmen to Jackson Hole high country. In
addition to long and active service in state outfitting and dude ranching
organizations, they remain involved in many conservation and hunting
concerns. Through the years, there have been numerous articles in major
national sporting magazines and hunting books about the Turners and their
wilderness hunting operation.
