Tim learned about hunting, fishing and the outdoors from his Dad and Granddad. He has been enjoying the backcountry since he was old enough to walk and hunting since he was old enough to safely carry a gun. For well over 28 years Tim has been packing horses and mules and outfitting big game hunts of one kind or another. In 1995 Tim was fortunate enough to be able to dedicate most of his efforts toward hunting Desert Bighorn Sheep. For the past 37 years he has lived in the Mojave Desert of Southern California, in the heart of Nelson Desert Bighorn Sheep Country.

Hunting and guiding is his passion and his livelihood and he spends the entire year scouting, guiding or hunting. Having served for 12 years as Commander of his local Sheriff's Search and Rescue Posse, he has been trained in tracking, desert survival, map and compass, GPS, and CPR (he can really get you lost). During his career he has had the opportunity to guide and assist hunters of all different levels of experience, from all over the country.. He is a member of the NRA, FNAWS, Grand Slam Club, Arizona Sheep Society, Safari Club International, Rocky Mt. Elk Foundation and Christian Sportsmen's Fellowship.

Cliff is a seasoned sheep hunter with numerous trophies to his credit. He is a third generation outdoorsman, learning his hunting and tracking skills from the best…..his Dad and his Grandfather. He has hunted big game in most of the western states with both a rifle and a bow. Cliff likes to say that hunting is not a hobby for him, but it is who he is, and he takes it very serious.

He worked for the U.S. Forest Service in Northern California as well as the California Department of Fish and Game as a biologist in the backcountry of the Sierra's. He has paramedic training which includes training in First Aid and CPR. Cliff is also a skilled gunsmith.

Grover, affectionately known as "The Watch Dog" is our camp cook.  A quiet easygoing man that you can't help but like from the first minute you meet him.  During the hunts he is responsible for our camp, meals and logistics, as well as being one of our main guides.  His camps are well planned out, neat, clean and organized.   His delicious Hors d'oeuvres and gourmet meals are as good as it gets.  After a long hard day of hunting, Grover's warm smile, great food and campfires are always a welcome sight.   Grover is always there when you need him and we are honored to have him as part of our team.

He is a third generation hunter, born and raised in the heart of "Desert Sheep Country". With extensive time spent in the backcountry and countless hours behind his optics. Clay is trained and experienced in backpacking, mountaineering, tracking and desert survival. He is always a welcome sight on any type of hunt with his smiling face and his high level of energy and enthusiasm. Clay is an experienced hunter that we a very proud to have as a main part of our crew.

Born and raised in the foothills of California at the base of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park, where he is currently employed. Matthew, nicknamed “Sequoia”, is the youngest of the crew. Matt is a fourth generation hunter and outdoorsman with numerous trophies to his credit. Matt spends every chance he gets hunting, glassing and guiding sheep, deer, elk and antelope in the western states but sheep hunting is his passion! He is an honest, humble, dedicated and hard working young man who leaves a lasting impression on everyone he meets. Matthew is beyond his years in his ability as a guide and his keen eyesight enables him to spot animals even under the toughest of conditions.
