Testimonials
“Josh and his staff gave 110% to ensure that everyone was accommodated.”
“I have known Josh for better than a decade and have sent literally dozens of hunters to hunt with him. He has an excellent reputation as a hardworking outfitter that does his best to provide a first class hunt! I personally hunted mountain lions with him this past winter and what an incredible hunt it was! Josh is a hunting machine and went above and beyond, as he known to do. His magnetic personality along with hard working guides make him one of the best! I would send my best friend with him - No Question!”
- Jason Carter - Cedar City, Utah
I have hunted elk several times with Josh. It is an experience that you will never forget. Bugling bulls and hundreds of elk make for an amazing hunt! I also have hunted lions and bears with Josh. He has some of the best hounds around. It is a great adventure. Just never gives up, and he is also a great guy to be around.” - Phil Carley

Rules & Guidelines
WHAT DOES YOUR GUIDE RATE INCLUDE?
• The three-day hunt includes everything but state licensing and permit fees.
• Any gas station stops, the hunter will be responsible for whatever he or she chooses to purchase.
• You are responsible for weapon of choice, hunting clothes, personal effects and transportation to and from Vernal, UT.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT FOR LODGING?
• We offer full-service lodges and camp trailers, where you will be served breakfast, dinner and provided with a sack lunch for mid-day or return to camp for lunch.
• Keep in mind that when staying in a cabin or camp trailer in the winter months we will not have running water.
• We limit our camps to avoid overcrowding but still allow for plenty of camaraderie. Practice targets will be available to keep you tuned up for that chance at a trophy.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON'T KILL A COW ELK?
• If for some reason we don't kill the cow elk of your choice within the three days of your hunt, you can continue hunting for an additional fee per day thereafter.
WHAT ARE THE TEMPERATURES LIKE DURING THE HUNT?
• Temperatures can range from below zero to mid 50-60s.
WHERE IS YOUR RANCH?
• Our ranch is located near Vernal, UT in northeastern Utah, where we will meet you.
WHAT SHOULD I TIP MY GUIDE?
• This is always a sensitive question, but one we get all of the time. Industry standard is 10-20%.
HOW SOON WILL I NEED MY LICENSE?
• Licenses MUST be purchased at least 10 days before your arrival to hunt. There is a 10-day waiting period before your tag is valid.
ARE YOU MEMBERS OF ANY GUIDE ASSOCIATIONS?
• Yes, we are a member of the Utah and Colorado Guides Associations.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT REGARDING CARE OF MY MEAT, CAPE AND TAXIDERMY?
• Trophy care includes hauling your animal off mountain to the cabin where we have hanging racks for the meat and animal. We will help you bone the meat out to put in your coolers.
• If you want your meat cut up in town by the local butcher we will put it in your truck and you can haul it to town to be cut up and he can mail it to you. Town is about a 40 minute drive. If you don't have a suitable outfit we can arrange this for you.
• If you bring your own coolers you will be responsible for your own ice which is only available in town.
• We will cape your trophy and put it in your cooler or assist in making arrangements with your taxidermist.
WHAT TYPES OF TAGS / PERMITS WILL I NEED TO PURCHASE?
