Sweetwater Outfitters

Sweetwater Outfitters operates one of Wyoming's most established hunting operations, with four decades of consistent success across mule deer, elk, and pronghorn antelope hunts. The outfit hunts over 250,000 acres of pristine Wyoming territory—exclusively private land and exclusive state leases—avoiding crowded BLM areas.

Unlike competitors who spend all day driving back roads, Sweetwater's owner is a licensed bush pilot and the only outfitter in Wyoming with an experienced high-altitude bush pilot on staff. This means:

• •Aerial pre-season scouting (completed before August 1st annually, per Wyoming law)
• •Post-winter game surveys to locate carry-over bucks and bulls
• •Real-time game movement tracking based on weather and environmental changes
• •The ability to scout in one hour what takes competitors all day

The Wyoming Game & Fish Department actually contracts Sweetwater's flying services for their own aerial surveys and game counts.

• •Overall track record: Clients have consistently taken Boone & Crockett and Pope & Young record-book animals. Numerous seasons with 100% client success on mule deer and antelope.

All guides are WSBOPG certified (Wyoming State Board of Outfitters & Professional Guides), licensed, and trained in wilderness survival and first aid. The team includes:

• •Hardy, experienced professional guides
• •Scouts and trackers
• •Shed hunters
• •A registered nurse on staff
• •The owner/bush pilot (4th generation Wyomingite with extensive year-round scouting knowledge)

Unlike some operations, Sweetwater maintains 100% ownership and operational control—you'll never be guided by someone who just bought into the business.

• •Camp Hunts (tentatively booked)
• •Bunkhouse/cabin or heated wall tents (recently upgraded with new gear)
• •All accommodations, meals, and equipment provided (except rifle, ammo, personal gear)
• •Emergency communication via Sweetwater cell phones
