Licensed Black Bear Outfitters in Wyoming
45 outfitters licensed by the Wyoming State Board of Outfitters and Professional Guides mention black bear in their state directory listing (data pulled Oct 23, 2026). Species are as listed in the Wyoming state outfitter directory; confirm with the outfitter.
How we built this list
We read the text of each listing in the Wyoming State Board of Outfitters and Professional Guides, Licensed Outfitters 2026 directory (PDF, last modified 2026-09-02) and kept the outfitters whose listing names black bear. "Mentions black bear" means the word appears in the outfitter's own directory text; it is not a statement from the state that the outfitter is approved for black bear, and it says nothing about hunt quality or success. 45 of the 291 outfitters in the directory qualify. The list is in alphabetical order. It is not a ranking, and no outfitter pays to be listed or to appear higher.
