Guided Hunts
The Hunt You Want, The Experience You Deserve.
At Buffalo Creek Outfitters, every hunt is custom built around you - your experience level, your goals, and the adventure you want to have. Whether you’re chasing a slam or just want a good day in wild country with good dogs, we’ve got you covered.
Hunt Information
All of our upland bird hunts are operated as “Day Hunts”. This means your guide will pick you up from your lodging at a prearranged time and transport you to the hunt area for the day’s adventure. Each hunt is paced to your fitness and comfort level but expect a full day on your feet. Terrain includes sage flats, rocky draws, and wide-open basins in Wyoming’s high desert. It’s wild country-and that’s what makes it unforgettable. It’s important for you to set realistic expectations and come prepared for an active day.
Sage Grouse Updates
Historically Sage Grouse season in Wyoming opens the 3rd Saturday of September and runs through the end of the month. For the 2027 season, that gives us 13 DAYS to get after these iconic birds.
If a sage grouse hunt is on your agenda, get on our waitlist early - these dates fill fast, and when they’re gone, they’re gone.
We are fully booked for 2026 and our 2027 waitlist is at capacity.
We are currently accepting waitlist inquires for 2028.
