Horrible man
I worked for this outfitter in Southern Colorado for not even 3 weeks before leaving. After hearing the stories from both the owner which doesnt even have a license i might add. He had his revoked for some reason. I was told by clients of all the promises he made and then told by him that he made no promises. His land has very few animals and very low grade of the animals he has. He sells these hunts because it is on "private land" A person would be much better off on public land elsewhere. He also did not pay me a dime for my services and will soon be going to court for this. He did give me a check but had it stopped after giving it to me. I might also add that i had to hunt him down for over a week to recieve this false check. He is a crook and a liar to anyone that runs into him. Paying him for a guided hunt might as well have been money thrown in the trash for a lot of walking around on land that you or his guides do not know. He does not want his guides to scout because he says it will push game off land therefore you are hunting with guides who also may be on a piece of property for the first time.

Reviewer Comments: I was on a spot and stalk mule deer hunt. I can't tell you how great this hunt was. You'd have to experience it for yourselves. We saw huge bucks; probably an average size would be around 150". My buddy shot a 160 class buck, and I missed a 150" class deer. We saw some really huge ones. Prepare to walk a lot, but it's sure worth it.

Reviewer Comments: I did not harvest a whitetail, but I was in their home turf. The outfitter had done his homework and had very detailed maps to get in and out of an area in the dark. The accomodation were better than most hotels. The food was excellent. The weather did not cooperate and played a role on deer movement, but we all still saw plenty of deer. The deer sited where all good quailty deer. I saw a 170 inch deer at 70 yards, but that was as close as he came. A+ Guide and Facilities!!!!

Reviewer Comments: I have gone hunting with Jeff the last two years, taking a trophy in 98\\\' on Halloween, and returning there for the second week in November this fall. The third morning of my hunt I rattled in a huge buck that held up for fifteen minutes just out of bow range. He then skirted my stand just out of range into a thick swamp, What a buck! Time then passed again for about fifteen minutes to see him sneaking out of the swamp in a different location, one that allowed him a better position to determine the source of the \\\"fighting bucks.\\\" He gradually worked within the 25 yard mark and I was at full draw awaiting his next step. I had decided I was going to take the slightly quartering-to shot and realeased my arrow to see him reel around to the swamp he came from. I radioed my outfitter after about forty-five minutes to tell him I had taken a shot and could see the pass-through arrow sticking into the base of a tree that had behind the deer. After getting on his trail we had fabulous lung-blood for about 100 yards. Then the deer which was starting to circle started to lose us. We continued on the trail following the blood we would find on twigs the deer would happen to brush against. To the top of a hill that overlooked a very dense and dark spruce swamp. That was the last blood we found for the next two days. I was unsuccessful in finding that magnificent animal this fall, but I hope to find him this spring when I am going up to shed-hunt with Jeff. I may have not got that animal, but my outfitter did very well on putting me in the right spot. That was the first time a hunter had ever been in that stand site.He is also one of the friendliest and outgoing people I have ever hunted with and we continue to keep in touch.
