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.

  • "I have been to SunnRanch twice now. It is a stunningly beautiful place - sleeping in the yurt amongst the sage fields, the mountains, the stars, and the bugling of elk is an awesome and unique experience. Combine that with it also being the place where I killed my first bull elk, my first cow elk, and my first mule deer, and you have the perfect hunting destination."

    David Daniel Athens, Georgia

  • “Words cannot adequately communicate the thrill of bagging my first cow elk! That moment will live on the rest of my life!”

    Richard Rieves, Memphis, TN

  • “Sunn Ranch is uniquely situated to take advantage of the migration of this massive herd. Taking my first cow and bull with those views was awesome! I witnessed 300-400 elk stampede within 100 yards of me. Epic life moment I will never forget!”
