Hunting outfitters and guides in Wyoming: coming soon
No outfitters or guides are listed in Wyoming yet. Listings are added only after a person confirms the license or permit with the agency that issues it.
Be the first listed in Wyoming
Sun Up Hunts is launching. We list a hunting outfitter or guide only after checking its license or permit with the issuing agency, so this page stays out of search results until Wyoming has at least 2 verified listings to compare. If you run an outfit in Wyoming, you can ask to be listed for free; there is also an optional upgraded listing, always labelled Sponsored, that is free for life for the first Founding outfitters.

Before you book any Wyoming hunt
- Ask for the outfitter's license, registration or permit number and confirm it with the agency before you pay a deposit.
- Get the hunt terms in a written contract: dates, guide-to-hunter ratio, services, what is and is not included, and the refund and cancellation terms.
- Ask which land the hunt is on (private, public, or both) and what permit or access arrangement covers it.
- Ask for recent client references you can phone, and what happens to your meat and trophy.
- Check the state's own hunter-license, tag, draw and hunter-education requirements well ahead of the application dates.
- Ask what happens if conditions or game numbers are poor: no outfitter can guarantee a harvest, and we do not list any that promise one.
Draws and lotteries: Wyoming draw and application deadlines, with a link to the agency's own page.

I run an outfit in Wyoming. How do I get listed?
