At Easehunting

At Ease Hunting is a veteran-owned and operated outfitting service based in Central Wyoming. The business grew from founder Patrick's childhood—his father ran Scott's Taxidermy in Casper, inspiring young Patrick to pursue outfitting. That dream got redirected when Patrick joined the Marine Corps at 19, serving 5 years as a door gunner on UH-1N Huey helicopters with multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. After an honorable discharge, Patrick moved back to Casper and spent years working as a professional guide for North Platte Lodge and Pathfinder Outfitters before launching At Ease Hunting.

The name comes from a military command for troops to stand relaxed. For hunters, it's what you feel when the outdoors puts you "at ease"—stressors fade, and you become consumed by the scents, smells, and scenery around you.

At Ease Hunting specializes in four species across multiple Wyoming Game & Fish hunt areas:

Private land access available: Antelope (Area 48), Deer (Area 70), and Elk (Area 16).

Most affordable option. You handle your own lodging and dinners around Casper. Patrick provides recommendations for local accommodations and dining, appealing to hunters who prefer independence.

A modern 3,521 sq ft home sleeping up to 12 people (8 hunters + 4 guides max). Located on Casper's west end, 45 minutes to 1.5 hours from most hunting areas.
