Have you ever considered a prairie dog shoot with your friends or family? A dog shoot is a great way to spend some quality time outdoors and try your hand at long shots on small targets. It is always a good time!
SNS Outfitter & Guides used to take a number of groups out hunting prairie dogs each year. Several years ago, however, Wyoming experienced a significant die off when the plague hit prairie dog towns. It’s be[...]
The SNS office has been receiving calls and emails from interested hunters that have been hearing rumors about changes being made to how the Wyoming Game & Fish manages licenses sales for non resident hunters. SNS Outfitter, Sy Gilliland, has been actively involved in shaping legislation pertaining to these issues. As an appointed member of the Wildlife Task Force, he has the inside scoop. So, rather than trying to explain these is[...]
Wyoming, like much of the west, is experiencing a hard winter with lots of snow. We are a large state and as you would expect, the snow pack varies from area to area. Along with other states in our region, Wyoming has been experiencing a prolonged drought. Cattle ranchers have a saying; “It takes a hard winter to break a drought.” Because Wyoming receives minimal summer rains, we rely on the yearly snow fall to provide some deep soil moist[...]
Havilah Babcock authored a book in 1947 titled, “My Health is Better in November”. Terry Truhler, long time client and friend of SNS, related this title to his own experiences with SNS Outfitter & Guides. “I always feel better when I am hunting in Wyoming.” Terry has been retired for several years, living life in central Washington [...]
It’s booking season and as usual, the phones are busy. In recent years it seems we are receiving a higher than usual volume of phone calls and emails. One of our most often requested hunts is a Mule Deer Hunt.
The Mule Deer is an iconic species and emblematic of western hunting. Hunters who cut their teeth on hunting Whitetail often dream of one day doing a western Mule Deer Hunt. Wyoming is often the state they think of first w[...]
SNS Outfitter has long been known as the west’s largest Pronghorn Antelope hunting operation, but in recent years it’s our elk hunting opportunities that have been trying to steal the show. Whether it is our outstanding reputation from 46 years of providing professional hunting experiences, an explosion in Wyoming’s elk populations or our recent acquisition of yet another elk hunting camp, SNS is well on our way to being known as[...]
The Rocky Mountain elk (Cervis canadensis nelsoni) is a subspecies of elk found in the Rocky Mountains and the only subspecies of elk found in Wyoming.

It’s the best time of the year, the holiday season. It’s also time for one of our favorite videos “The Year in Review’.
The best way to share a season as fantastic as this one has been though is through video. A couple of highlights to share from this past year. First, we are extremely pleased with the acquisition of a new wilderness elk hunting camp. The hunts taking place from this camp are classic,[...]
As the 2022 hunting season winds down, it’s natural to want to plan your next hunt. SNS Outfitter & Guides has been extremely busy booking our 2023 and 2024 hunting seasons. The trend the last few years has been for hunters to plan farther into the future when booking their hunts. This has caused many repeat SNS clients to be disappointed when they try to book a hunt and dates are full. In the hopes of avoiding any frustrations, [...]
November and the Mule Deer rut is on! Our Mule Deer and Whitetail are the last of our big game animals to go through the annual breeding season rituals. The action starts the end of October with the bucks starting to check does for any signs of coming in heat. In early November, the rut goes into full swing and can even last into early December.
The Mule Deer bucks go into the rut fat and sassy but its not long before they[...]
