Wilderness Mule Deer Hunts
Steamboat Camp
About Our Wilderness Mule Deer Hunts
Hunt the backcountry of western Wyoming with SNS Outfitter & Guides. Our wilderness mule deer hunts from Steamboat Camp take place in rugged mountain terrain within one of Wyoming’s limited-quota mule deer areas. These hunts provide excellent access to lightly pressured habitat and the opportunity to pursue mature bucks in classic western country.
Each day begins before daylight as hunters prepare to move into carefully selected glassing areas across basins, timber pockets, and travel corridors where mule deer spend the early season. Your guide will work with you to locate and evaluate bucks before planning a careful stalk through broken mountain terrain that makes wilderness mule deer hunting both challenging and rewarding. After a successful harvest, our crew handles field care and transportation of your deer back to camp.
Camp is accessed by UTV, allowing efficient travel into remote country while still offering the experience of hunting away from roads and heavy pressure. From camp, hunters ride horseback into productive basins and vantage points that provide excellent opportunities to locate mature mule deer.
Because this is a limited-quota hunt with strong demand, we recommend booking well in advance. Wyoming preference points are required to draw this license, and our office can help you understand current requirements and application strategy.

Important Hunt Information
Arrival Information:
Plan on meeting at the trailhead the day before your hunt starts. Detailed meeting instructions will be provided after the elk draw is held. Please note we do not offer airport pickup on this hunt; you will be responsible for getting yourself and/or your hunt party to the designated meeting area.
What’s Included in Your Hunt:
SNS Outfitter & Guides provides 6 nights of lodging and 5 days of hunting, professional guide service, home-cooked meals prepared by full-time cooks, and transportation during your hunt. Hunters are responsible for bringing their own personal gear, rifles or archery gear, ammunition, and gratuities. Please note while we do apply for your hunting license for you, the cost of the licenses are not included in the hunt.
Camp Amenities & Power Availability:
If you use a CPAP machine, Steamboat Camp is the best option. Located on the edge of the Washakie Wilderness, it uses a gas generator that allows CPAP batteries to be charged daily. Sheep Trap and Two Rivers rely on a solar generator, which works well to charge cell phones but does not support CPAP battery charging. All camps are equipped with satellite Wi-Fi through Starlink for guests who wish to stay connected.
Travel Arrangements:
While we do not make hotel reservations on your behalf, we are happy to provide recommendations.
License Application Assistance:
To ensure accuracy and timeliness, we personally submit your hunting license application unless other arrangements have been discussed. The type of license required (special or regular) is determined by your points and the best odds for a successful draw.
Wounded Animal Policy:
Our wound policy is very simple: if you draw blood—whether you and your guide find the animal or not—that is your animal. We will do everything in our power to find and retrieve the animal, but another animal will not be taken.
Grizzly Bears:
Camp is located within the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, home to grizzly bears. All employees and guests are required to always carry bear spray, which we will provide. Full training will be conducted upon arrival at camp. To learn more about hunting in grizzly country, click here.
