I have had the honor of having Mike Fifer (CEO of Ruger Firearms), head gunsmiths for the NYPD, a Mayor of Tijuana, and several hunters from the FBI, Secret Service, CIA, LLRP's, Green Berets, Navy Seals, several Black Ops organizations and The Pentagon, Chicago Firefighters, Chicago Police a Top Gun Pilot, 9 Time World Champion MMA Fighter, professional baseball, hockey and football players, engineers from Smith and Wesson, Remington Firearms Reps and a lot of “regular Joe’s” as clients in the past. I am proud of my operation. I will send you the complete client list of ALL of my clients from the previous season in lieu of a cherry-picked reference list like you get from other outfitters. I have found that by including all of last year’s clients, inquirers know they are getting a complete representation of my clients and not just names and numbers of the happy clients that have been hand-picked like on a traditional “reference list”. I would encourage you to phone many of these guys and ask them any questions that you feel are important in making your decision to hunt with me. If you are satisfied with their answers, give me a call and we will go ahead with setting up your hunt.

You should not consider booking a hunt with an outfitter before you speak with all of the hunters who have hunted at the same time and place during the previous season. It is important to know ahead of time what you are getting for your money. It is important to know the name of the individual who will accompany you in the field. I am proud of the attention I give my clients before, during, and after the hunt. **Most importantly, don't consider booking a hunt with anyone that is not willing to give you the names and numbers of all the clients from the previous season.**

I'm glad we selected you. I didn't want to risk having a bad experience. Hunting is hunting but dealing with a guy like you, I knew you had everything covered. When we got here, it seems like everybody in the area knows you and everybody said you are the best in the business. Everything you've shown me on this trip proved they were right. This has been exactly what we were wanting. I'll recommend you to anybody that wants a great experience and wants to hunt with an honest guy with a lot of hustle. We'll be coming back.

If you want a buffalo hunt you can be proud to tell your kids about, call Willie. This has been incredible. I had no idea what it was going to be this big of a deal.

I saw them coming over the hill and I didn't have time to get nervous. I just put it right on his heart and I knew when I pulled the trigger that he was going down. Thanks for another great time. I'll be calling you to set up that pheasant hunt for this fall.

Thanks again for showing me a great time. I always have fun hunting with you. If I didn't think you were the best, I wouldn't keep coming back. I look forward to our next hunt together. Tell anybody to call me and I'll tell them they should not hesitate to hunt with you.

Willie,
I just wanted to thank you for another great hunt. I was hoping lucky 7th trip would get me that 1,000 yd shot but I will just have to live with 868yds until we can try again. I have hunted all over the country with and without a guide. The trips with you are always the most productive and my group would not consider using a different guide. The one year we waited too long to get our dates lined up and you couldn't do it, we used a different guide and the trip was a nightmare. You have never failed to put us on targets even when there was bad weather in the area. We're too old and fat to field hunt pheasants any more but the years we combined prairie dogs and pheasants with you were great. Please feel free to use me as a reference any time.

Prairie dog hunting is the best way I know of to let off steam. I look forward to this trip every year. I'd recommend you to anybody Willie. You're the best.

Once you showed us what to do with the rifle, it really helped. It made these long shots much easier.

Jim, MI

We may shoot prairie dogs one place one day, and Willie will take us to another place 100 miles away the next to slip us in behind the heavy winds or between rain storms that are sending all the other prairie dog hunters home with their tails between their legs. Willie is the best.

Gene, MD

We had another great trip with Willie. He always seems to do me right. We've seen a lot of deer and passed up a lot that I think most people would have taken. I was able to stalk to within easy range of this great 10-point in the middle of a 640 acre corn field. What a great experience.

Todd, AL

Willie has an unbelievable number of prairie dogs out here. We've seen hundreds if not thousands of animals. It is hard to describe how many prairie dogs there are out here without sounding crazy. If you have ever wanted to hunt prairie dogs, don't even hesitate, call Willie up and book the hunt. You are in for the time of your life!

I never expected it was going to be this big of a deal! When you said they were wary and challenging to sneak up on, I doubted it because I'd seen videos of other hunts done in other places. This was nothing like them. I'd recommend you and your crew to anybody and everybody. Thanks for everything.

Harrold, UT

Every time I go hunting with you, I'm convinced even more that I'm hunting with the best guide in the United States. We've done a lot of hunting together; buffalo, mule deer, archery mule deer, coyotes, several brown bear and moose. Everytime I felt I got more than my money's worth. I can't say how happy I am with my last archery mule deer hunting experience. We had great success again. Thank you Willie.

I fulfilled a lifetime dream with you today. I've wanted to hunt buffalo and have been following you for several years on Facebook. I made the right decision by going with you. You're the best.

Terry, MN

We always have fun when we go hunting with you. That’s why we keep doing it. We need this break from our jobs.

Unless other arrangements are made, I will be your hunting guide. In a perfect world, an employee would care about the business as much as the owner. Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world. I do all of my own guiding unless other arrangements are made. It is comforting for you to know that the guy who is cashing your check (me) is the same guy who will accompany you in the field (me). I put my reputation on the line every time I cash a check. If you have ever paid a lot of money for a guided hunt only to be sent out with a sub-par(drunk/lazy/brother-in-law that just lost his job/etc) guide, you will know why this is so important. If you haven't ever experienced being assigned to a poor guide, you will probably take your chances until you do.....then you will insist on hunting with the owner.
