a family tradition

From a young age brothers and Bronze Buffalo Club Founders Justin & Cody Hyde developed a deep love and passion for the way of life that was instilled in them from the teachings and traditions of their parents, grandparents and preceding generations before them. Raised on a family bison and horse ranch in Wyoming, the brothers embraced their deeply rooted western cowboy heritage and learned a unique way of living on the ranch.

Listen as Bronze Buffalo Member, Rob Riggle, hosts Justin and Cody on the Bronze Buffalo Podcast to discuss the Hyde Brothers’ unique upbringing and family traditions.

forging friendships

Justin and Cody Hyde spent their childhood learning how to work on the ranch, train and pack horses, hunt, fish and shoot, among many other things associated with their early lives on the ranch. Early in their professional careers, as young entrepreneurs, they introduced this way of life to their friends, colleagues, and clients. For the first time, they realized that their upbringing was unique and resonated with others, helping them forge strong friendships and authentic bonds with other businessmen and women who shared their same values — being passionate about a life centered on family, sporting adventure, and western living. Through shared experiences on the riverbank, in the backcountry, on the racetrack, or on the golf course, there was always a genuine bond and lasting friendship formed with those who had recently been nothing more than strangers.

Nearly a decade and half ago, this realization sparked a desire to share their passions by creating the most unique and exclusive lifestyle club in the world. The “Bronze Buffalo Club” was created as a way to memorialize their family heritage and create a long-lasting legacy. To bolster the Bronze Buffalo Club, Justin and Cody, along with a small and select group of partners began to acquire a portfolio of world-class ranch and resort properties where they designed and hosted exclusive member-only events. Adventure, “bucket list” trips were also hosted for members to experience the world’s most desirable, and inaccessible venues and events.

wilderness traditions passed on

Generations before the Bronze Buffalo Club was founded, the Hyde family made a living through hunting outfitting in the most remote parts of the continental United States. Wyoming’s famous Thorofare sits adjacent to Yellowstone National Park. Grandpa Hyde ran one of the largest outfitting businesses in the region and lived each fall in the backcountry, wrangling horses, and hunting the wildest parts of Wyoming. This heritage was passed on, and although the outfitting business was sold, the hunting and outdoor tradition carried on.

Today, this heritage is shared with Bronze Buffalo members through pack trips, backcountry expeditions, and hunting adventures across the globe.

a long-lasting retail legacy

In the early 1920’s, a man named Mike Srour formed a silver company in California that quickly rose in popularity due to his innovative designs and legendary quality. Soon Mike was making custom silver belt buckles worn by Hollywood actors, rock stars, celebrities, and presidents of the United States.

In 2016, this silver company, today known as Sunset Trails, was acquired by Utah-based Burns Saddlery, a single-family owned companies since 1876. Burns has become a great partner, and you can find their quality hats, boots, belts, and Sunset Trails silver at the Bronze Buffalo Luxury Outfitters shop.

Interestingly, Mike Srour was a great-uncle to Justin & Cody, a truly unique legacy and heritage, reconnected.
