SNS would like to congratulate our own Randy George who was named as the Wyoming Outfitter & Guides Association, “Hunting Guide of the Year” for 2022. I was able to steal away a few moments of his time before the banquet dinner to hear about how he got into the guiding industry, what keeps him coming back for more and a very memorable hunt from his first time guiding. Please enjoy my interview with Randy and find the article from WYOGA[...]
Wyoming Hunting
Addressing Wyoming’s Hunting License changes
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[...]
Wintering in Wyoming can be hard to do
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[...]
2022 Hunting Season Showcase
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,[...]
2023 Hunting Opportunity with SNS Outfitter and Guides

Antelope Hunting; It’s a Father Daughter thing.
One of the best things about being a Wyoming Outfitter is helping to provide memories that last a lifetime. This fall we had the pleasure of providing some incredible hunts for many awesome clients. It adds an extra special element when we are able to guide youth hunters. Often times it is their first big game hunt and it is such fun to have their parents along for the adventure. When it comes to the perfect hunt for first time youth hunters, [...]
Some of Best Hunting Conditions Wyoming has ever seen
It is remarkable what a difference weather can make in a hunting season.
Here we are in mid October, still enjoying some of the best fall weather any of us can remember. We have had day after day of sunny skies, hardly any wind and temperatures in the mid sixtes and even low seventy degrees. When we had this type of fall weather, my father used to call it an “Indian Summer”. An “Indian Summer” is defined by Wikiped[...]
Antelope license demand and herd health 9/2022
How come it has become harder to draw a non resident Wyoming antelope license? This question is often asked of Sy and Ambrosia when hunters call looking for a Wyoming antelope hunt. The answer involves three main factors. First, the over all demand from non residents desiring to hunt antelope has caused the draw odds to become more difficult. Second, Wyoming’s antelope population has experienced a decline due to a recent harsh weather event [...]
