    Search no further, THIS is the elk hunt guide service you want to book! My father (67) and I (37) hunted elk with the Quaking Aspen team during the 3rd rifle season of 2021. The camp, the guides, the cook, the horses and the experience were all amazing!…

If you are lucky enough to draw a tag in one of the units listed above and you need a guide, I am your man. I've been guiding sheep hunters in these units for over 40 years. I know their areas and movements in these areas and can get you a good shot at a good ram (3/4 curl or better!). A few of my clients have taken record book rams. This is a one-on-one hunt with a camp helper/cook to make things run smooth. We hunt out of a comfortable mobile camp with horses, which enables us to follow the sheep when they move if we need to. My success rate is over 95%, the only two hunters who have not gotten a sheep hunting with me both missed 7/8 full curl rams, both shots were under 100 yards. Our camps come with spacious heated tents and a camp cook to serve meals. Packing camp in and out is done on horseback.
