I have no personal experience or knowledge of this outfit other than the review I found. But they do have a website that I just looked over. I saw one thing that concerned me. On his sheep hunts he lists the price as $5000 but there is a little side note that says he charges an additional $500 for a ram and another $500 if it grosses more than 180 B&C points. That alone would put me off since sheep tags in CO are very, very hard to get and charging additional funds for a certain size ram is a poor way to go in my opinion. he should be trying to get the best ram possible for his hunter and shouldn't be worried about what the tape stretches to after the shot is fired.
But I admit to being a little biased since I've never been a fan of outfitters. I have always hunted on my own.
Fefi fofum a year ago-
Cheated my Dad , and me , out of his last and life long final dream hunt, by telling us, on arrival, that we had not been on enough guided elk hunts and my fit good shot Dad would be left in a "park" meadow all day, alone, all week, for the full fees.
Not one of the many reference hunters we talked with before going was honest enough to tell of this driving to the horses, pass-fail interrogation. Not one.
Colorado Outfitters Association has my letter and the case "on file" for us +$5000 cheated , but out of state, hunters.

$5K for a sheep hunt is chump change, and the $500 extra fees is BS! The guy must not be much of an outfitter, as who in the heck is going to hunt for a small ram or ewe when they draw a tag that is so hard to come by nowadays. Sheep hunts with a reputable outfitter are close to or more than double what he's charging!!!

But to add a trophy surcharge is flat out wrong! I wouldn't hunt with an outfitter that wants to put a surcharge on an animal taken off publicly owned land just because a tape measure goes 1/8th on an inch past an arbitrary number. Plus, many sheep and goat hunters in CO don't even use a guide. I got my sheep and goat on a DIY basis.
