A note from Davey
I was born and raised in the heart of Arizona where my passion for the outdoors and hunting started. I have always loved the outdoors and I never thought in a million years I could actually have a career doing what I love. With the support of my wife and kids, I have enjoyed many hunting seasons building lasting friendships, hunting hard and making trophy animals a reality. 

I got my start as professional guide working full time for the late Marvin James of James Guide Service. Marvin was a hunting icon in the southwest and it was truly my pleasure learning from one of the best. Together we have harvested many trophy animals along the way and I plan to continue that legacy for many years to come. Marvin wasn't just my boss, he was my close friend and I will miss his optimistic perspective no matter what the situation is. I thank him for all of the valuable lessons he taught me, from how to be a good guide, to what it takes to be a successful outfitter. He has left me with a priceless gift and I plan to honor the legacy he left behind.   

What we are all about
