Decades of Experience to Serve You in the Backcountry

In that time, Lynn Madsen has developed a dedication to quality that filters into every aspect of your overall trip experience which has been passed down to his grandson, Brandon Kunz.
Character and professionalism underscore every experience you'll have with Yellowstone Outfitters to make each of your hunting pack trips, backcountry fly fishing adventures, trail rides, or sightseeing pack trips into incredible memories.
Expect the best trout fly fishing, elk hunting, and horseback riding experiences in Wyoming and guides you become long-term friends with.

Brandon and Kendra Kunz
Generation 3
Lynn Madsen's grandson, and son to Renae, Brandon Kunz and his wife Kendra have taken over the outfitting business with the same dedication to quality Lynn instilled.
Brandon started riding to Hawks Rest and the Teton Wilderness when he was five years old, bringing a breadth of experience few can to outfitting. His wife, Kendra often surprises guests with her outdoorsmanship and versatility on the trail.
Most of Yellowstone Outiftters' horses and pack mules were born into the outfit. Or at least bought as colts and trained under the Outfit.
The animals are trained so well you'll happily entrust your life and equipment to them, no matter your riding style, age, or abilities.
