Elk Hunts - Unbranded Guides and Outfitters

Unbranded Guides and Outfitters operates out of Ely, Nevada as a full-service hunting outfitter specializing in Nevada's premier big game species. The operation is relatively new, but every guide on the team brings a minimum of 5 years of professional guiding experience. They start scouting in July each year and pursue animals across Nevada's rugged landscape through the entire season.

Nevada's Rocky Mountain elk population is producing some of the biggest bulls in the country right now. Unbranded offers 7-day all-inclusive elk hunts with flexible scheduling—additional days can be added as needed. The hunts are physically and mentally demanding, but their team is built to adapt to conditions and execute on trophy animals. They kill giant bulls consistently and handle all the logistics so you show up ready to hunt.

Application strategy consultation is available. Elk tags are hard to draw in Nevada, and they help clients maximize limited tag opportunities.

Mature mule deer are getting harder to find every year, but Unbranded's crew specializes in locating and killing mature bucks. They offer hunts across all seasons and weapons:

• •Rifle hunts
• •Archery hunts
• •Muzzleloader hunts

5-day all-inclusive hunts with flexible extensions. Nevada runs a non-resident guided rifle mule deer draw in February—they provide guidance on the application process and draw mechanics.

They pursue all three subspecies across Nevada:

• •Desert Bighorn Sheep
• •California Bighorn
• •Rocky Mountain Bighorn

Sheep hunting is described as the mecca of western big game, and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Unbranded provides 7-day all-inclusive sheep hunts with comfortable camps and superior sheep hunting knowledge. They handle the hard logistics so you focus on the hunt. Days can be added to hunts as needed.

Nevada's antelope herds are thriving, and the state produces multiple book-quality animals every year. Unbranded specializes in:

• •Archery hunts for 75"+ bucks
• •Rifle hunts for 75"+ bucks

4-day all-inclusive hunts covering miles of country and evaluating dozens of bucks. Antelope seasons run through late summer. Extended hunts available upon request.

Lion hunts with dogs are action-packed and unpredictable. Unbranded uses relentless hounds and guides who go above and beyond to catch big cats. Every scenario presents different challenges pursuing Nevada's apex predator.

• •5-day all-inclusive hunts
• •Group hunts available (up to 3 hunters per group at discounted rates)
• •Over-the-counter tags (no draw required)

"We are a new guide service, but everyone on the team has been guiding for a minimum of 5 years."

Their operation is built on experience. The team starts scouting in July to identify the best animals on the landscape before the season starts. All hunts are all-inclusive, meaning you only bring yourself and your gun—they handle food, camps, transportation, and logistics.

They also provide detailed consultation on Nevada's drawing system, tag allocation, and application strategies to maximize your chances at limited permits.
