About the Outfitter...

This very personable individual is a lifetime resident of Forks, Washington. He has been guiding for 21 years and knows the area like the back of his hand. He was able to locate a different herd of Elk every day that I hunted with him in October 1998. He is a totally competent guide to guide for Modern Firearm hunters as well as Bowhunters and Muzzleloaders. His Elk calling ability is unsurpassed--knowing how to blow the various calls is one thing, but knowing when to use each option at the exact right time and cadence is a skill that few guides really know. He is a Master at his craft!

How the Hunts are Conducted...

The clients arrive in Forks, Washington and stay in the selected motel. The best restaurant in town is 100 yards away. It opens at 4:30 in the morning and will prepare ample sack lunches for the clients. The portions are fit for a lumberjack, but the prices are very reasonable indeed. The client is responsible for all meals during the hunt dates.

The outfitter will pick up the clients at their rooms at the agreed upon time. The hunting is conducted in the abundant forests beginning just a short distance from town.

The logging roads interlace the forest which allows penetration into the deep forests.

The hunt will be a combination of driving and walking into strategic sites to find the elk herds or to intersect the elusive Blacktail deer as it meanders through the foliage. The bears are normally found in or near known berry patches or just a chance encounter as they are roaming around.

Recommended Clothing & Equipment List...

		Warm weather and cold weather clothing based on the season.
		Fleece clothing if available (clothing should be camouflage for the primitive weapons hunts).
