Meet Shane Sunn of Sunn Ranch
The Bear, by William Faulkner describes how the repetitive hunt for ‘Ole Ben’, a wily old black bear, transformed young Isaac McCaslin. Trips, you might even call them journeys, or quests, are imbued with the capacity to change the pilgrim. But first you must conceive a fish, a goal, a place, a celestial city enough to set out and cast your bait on the water. Pilgrims who persevere to the end receive the reward. My purpose is to help my clients experience earth’s beauty, mystery, power, and bounty and thus catch glimpses and tastes of the world to come.
The Rev. Shane Sunn grew up in Ackerman, Mississippi surrounded by hunters, fishers and story tellers. For thirty years, Shane employed his gifts as a Presbyterian minister serving others, grabbling with words, telling stories, and writing sermons. Perhaps it was inevitable his journey would finally lead to serving others through guiding, writing, and tellings stories, some old, others new, and some yet to come.

About Sunn Ranch Outfitters
From the saltwater bays of beautiful Homer, Alaska, to the Elkhead Mountains of Hayden, Colorado, Sunn Ranch Outfitters offers two unforgettable outdoor experiences led by guide and storyteller Shane Sunn.
Summer in Alaska: From mid-June until the end of August, guests join Shane aboard The Ole Missy for sport fishing in one of the most spectacular places on earth or swing the fly for salmon and other species in the abundant local rivers. Enjoy a private beachfront home overlooking Kachemak Bay, delicious meals prepared by a local chef, while taking in the wonder of Alaska’s wild coast.
Autumn in Colorado: When the salmon run ends and the aspens turn gold, Sunn Ranch shifts south to Hayden, Colorado-48 acres of quiet wilderness bordering BLM land and the Routt National Forest. Here guests experience guided elk and mule deer hunts from a comfortable yurt basecamp.
Two Seasons. One Purpose. Whether you’re chasing salmon, jigging for halibut in Alaska or stalking elk and mule deer in Colorado, Sunn Ranch Outfitters is about more than adventure- it’s about the connection, reflection, and the stories you’ll carry home.
