Ryan Aune

OWNER & HEAD GUIDE

Meet Ryan, a Cody, WY native whose passion for the outdoors started at a young age. With a biological sciences honors degree, he's a true expert in Wyoming's bird populations. Ryan's expertise extends beyond birds; he's equally skilled in handling dogs, akin to a general manager selecting star players and coaching them to excellence. Each week, he diligently works with his 10+ dogs, ensuring they provide you with the best experience possible. Known for his friendly and welcoming demeanor, Ryan makes strangers quickly feel like friends. 

When he’s not guiding trips, he’s out traveling new roads in search of new coveys. A true adventurer at heart, Ryan is excited to show you around the wild and beautiful state he is proud to call home!

  • Scott Aune

    HUNTING GUIDE

    Yep, same last name as Ryan – and the apple did not fall far from the tree. Scott is the one to blame for Ryan’s upland obsession… maybe he shouldn't have taken Ryan bird hunting multiple times while still in a car seat! Scott has over 40 years of bird hunting experience in Wyoming, and it shows. He provides our clients with a truly unforgettable trip, every time.

  • Connor Erickson

    HUNTING GUIDE

    Connor is a Montana State graduate from the Fish & Wildlife program, where he met Ryan. After college, Connor moved to the Buffalo, WY area, where he works as a firefighter. When he isn't busy with work or training his dogs, he spends as much time as he can in the high plains of Eastern Wyoming with his two setters, Chip and Jane.

  • Alec Giacoletto

    FISHING GUIDE

    Meet Alec, a Cody, Wyoming native who's always out on the water, too busy reeling in the big ones to bother writing a formal bio. Here’s what you need to know about him: he's an experienced guide with a knack for finding the best fishing spots, an Army Veteran, a Montana State University graduate, and has now returned to his hometown, teaching English and coaching basketball at Cody High School. But his heart belongs to the outdoors where he thrives as a guide, ready to guide you on the adventure of a lifetime!
