2012 Land Report 100: Flitner Family

No. 25 Flitner Family

300,000 acres

David and Paula Flitner pieced together multiple parcels to form their sprawling Wyoming outfit. David’s grandfather homesteaded the original 160 acres; the expansion began in earnest some 20 years ago. The former president of the Wyoming Farm Bureau, David and Paula founded The Hideout Adventures in 1992. They’re still fixtures at The Hideout Lodge & Guest Ranch, but nowadays Paula’s nephew Peter DeCabooter and wife Marijn Werquin run this upscale working guest ranch east of Yellowstone National Park.
