Vision & Mission

The GROUP is dedicated to the belief that growing up in Wyoming should include opportunities to experience our wide open spaces and traditional ways of life that lead to the establishment of our state and creation of other-focused, physically strong, reliable citizens who built our communities out of sagebrush, barbed wire, and handshakes.  Inspired by the heroic figures of our past, it aims to bring the simple, timeless values embodied in our state’s history to the fore of Wyoming life.

We will accomplish this by increasing awareness of the rich history of outfitting, shooting sports, trapping, and native traditions among our youth, through education, events, and other projects. Preference will be given to projects focused on muzzleloading, archery, trapping, horse and mule packing, wrangling, outdoor survival, hunting safety, mountain men, outlaws and western heroes, native lifestyles and traditions, and historical research/preservation/ publication.
