Excellent outfitter and guide!
Excellent communication. Guide was excellent, knowledgeable and new how to hunt mule deer for sure! They will work very hard for you to get your game.
Fair accommodations. Due to the remoteness, it was a little tricky to get to processing and taxidermy, but alls well that ends well. I was on 13,000 acres of private land, so not hard to understand.
Incredible Merriams Hunt
Everything about my experience with Chad and his team was top notch. They handled everything from day one of booking and allowed me to show up with my dad and start hunting turkeys exactly the way I wanted to hunt them. The hunt was nothing short of epic, and I can’t wait to hunt with these guys again!
Had a great time
Beautiful country, really good experience!
