2013 3rd season elk
SJO has been sold to his 2 top guides. I hunted with Jesse Bauer. Very knowledgeable and good caller. Hunts hard from dawn to dusk. Unfortunately did not see any mature bulls, all 4x4 & 5x4. Saw a total of 69 elk for the week which is great. Standard tent camp with comfortable cots and pretty good food. Weather was too good and did not get significant snow to kick the migration into high gear. Saw a few other hunters during the week but they were weekend warriors trying to shoot an elk from horseback. 2nd week hunters killed nice 5x5's Good outfitter, I would hunt with them again.

Reviewer Comments: I have hunted with Tom and Cheri for six of the last seven years. I chose them originally after talking to dozens of outfitters. I was looking for an outfitter who understood archery hunting. I was also looking for an outfit that specialized in a wilderness hunt. San Juan Outfitting fit the bill on both counts. I was not looking for an easy hunt, but a rewarding experience in a wild, backcountry setting with people I felt comfortable with. I have never been dissapointed.
