Why choose my team and me?
I have traveled to sixty-one countries of the world, and most roads weren't paved. I have hunted with some of the best, and a few of the worst. I am Life Member #93 of the Wild Sheep Foundation (formerly Foundation for North American Wild Sheep), and served as Treasurer and Vice-President. I served as Chairman of the Budget, Audit, and Investment Committees, and am presently on the Records Committee and the Ethics Committee of The Boone and Crockett Club and am an Official Measurer and also an Official Measurer with S.C.I. I was a Charter Member and President of the Texas Chapter of the Foundation for North American Wild Sheep (now Texas Bighorn Society). I am a Life Member of the Dallas Safari Club, Houston Safari Club, Safari Club International, Wild Sheep Foundation, Texas Bighorn Society and the National Rifle Association. For twenty years, I was a name at Lloyds of London.
I’ve been thrown, bitten, kicked, shot, whipped, humbled, and occasionally wrong. I’m here to help you, and I’m not with the government. I know how rubber meets the road and have personally experienced transporting and packing my own string of horses, outfitted, guided, cooked and backpacked for six or eight hunters for several weeks at a time. I have spent over fifty years gathering information through other hunters and travelers.
I have been blessed by paying for my share of overpriced camping trips delivered by unreliable hunting outfitters, and I have shared a fire with some of the best in the premier places of the world. "Good judgment comes from experience and a lot of that comes from bad judgment". Wisdom is the reward for listening over a lifetime. When you choose High Mountain Hunts, all this experience is included in the price. I am qualified to give advice on the subject.
