Hands-On Focus

All of our seminars involve hands-on instruction, from glassing wild game in the field to working through game processing with actual animals.

One of A Kind Facility

We operate from our private ranch that borders the Flat Tops Wilderness Area outside of Vail and Eagle, Colorado. The Flat Tops Wilderness Area is over 240,000 acres of road-less and forever wild land protected by the Wilderness Act. Our facility is built to accommodate wilderness hunting trips and remote summer expeditions. We maintain a herd of 35+ mules and horses, a 3,000 sq. ft. pack station, bunkhouse and a 3,500 sq. ft. log lodge.

Our staff has guided hundreds of big game hunts across North America and have also run some of the world’s largest outfitting services. We have written dozens of articles on all aspects of hunting and provided thousands of hours of hunting related content via YouTube.
