Mail deposits or payments to:
Nelson Outfitters
900 Big Goose Road
Sheridan, Wyoming 82801

Or call (307) 751-2262 to pay with Credit Card.

Hunt Availability

Final availability of a hunt is on a first come first serve basis. Due to a large number of repeat clients and small hunter/guide ratio, our openings are limited.

Season dates are subject to change by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department or Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks. Nelson Outfitters has no control regarding season dates. Please book as early as possible.

Depost Refund Policy

If you are not successful in the license draw, the deposit is refunded 100%. If desired, we will hold the deposit for the next season.

Obtaining a Hunting License

To hunt in Wyoming or Montana you must apply for and receive a hunting license. Nelson Outfitters will assist with the application process by submitting your application through the Wyoming Outfitters Portal.

Montana applicants  Montana Outfitter clients are eligible to purchase a second preference point for an additional $100 at the time of application. This fee will be passed along to the client.  Licenses issued using this point are only valid for hunting with an outfitter.

All of our Big Game hunts include the license in the hunt fee. Please contact us directly for instructions, as the process is different for both states.

All hunters must sign a “Hunt Agreement” with Nelson Outfitters and submit a 50% deposit to reserve hunt dates. All agreements and deposits must reach us before January 30th for Wyoming Elk, March 15 for Montana Hunts and May 20th for Wyoming Deer and Antelope to allow us adequate time to process and submit the applications.
