Gan Dj Outdoors

G&J Outdoors has been running guided hunting and fishing trips across Nevada and California since the early 2000s. Cary Jellison operates the outfit from Colfax, California, handling everything from scouting and strategy to on-the-ground guiding.

• •Mule Deer - Spot and stalk hunts using quality optics. About 85% success rate over the past twenty years with nearly 100% opportunity. Nevada statewide licensure with special BLM and USFS permits. Hunts are tailored to individual fitness levels, though rugged terrain requires reasonable conditioning. Meals and lodging included. Non-residents can use Nevada's special guide draw for significantly better tag odds.

• •Rocky Mountain Elk - Only one unsuccessful Nevada elk hunter in their history (an archer who shot at two bulls in four days). These are 6-day hunts in prime elk territory with excellent odds at 350+ bulls. Two guides provided on all hunts to maximize your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They hold USFS special use permits for Austin-Tonopah and Santa Rosa districts and guide most Nevada units. Hunting methods include rifle, muzzleloader, and archery with glassing and spot-and-stalk as primary tactics.

• •Bighorn Sheep - 100% success rate on Nevada and California bighorn sheep hunts. One of the few outfitters that can say they've never had an unsuccessful hunter. Their clients consistently take record-class rams—including a 175 4/8 desert ram (biggest out of the Mormon Mountains in 20 years), a 165 California bighorn bow record, and the 3rd biggest desert ram ever taken in Nevada at 184 5/8. Extensive pre-hunt scouting using top optics (Kowa, Swarovski, Docter, Leica). Licensed statewide in Nevada for desert (Nelson) and California bighorn sheep. Hunts run November-December for desert sheep, September-October for California bighorn.

• •Mountain Lion - The most exciting hunt they offer. Hunts are tailored for bowhunters with Nevada's short trees (usually under 30 feet) making close-quarters encounters with hissing toms a real experience. Their guide has 15+ years experience chasing lions with trained dogs.

• •Roosevelt Elk - These are what G&J Outdoors is known for. Northwestern California hunts during the rut with landowner tags available each year. They describe Roosevelt elk hunts as world-class opportunities.

• •Antelope - Licensed statewide in Nevada for antelope. In California they guide zones 3 (Likely Tables), 4 (Lassen), and 6 (Surprise Valley). Thorough pre-hunt scouting means you'll see bucks daily with possibility of B&C bucks. 3-day hunts with meals and lodging included.

• •Turkey hunts in Northern California
• •Chukar and quail hunts in Nevada
• •Sage grouse hunts
• •Coyote hunts

• •Nevada Fly Fishing - Multi-day trout fishing trips on a private reservoir near Austin, Nevada (3.5 hours from Reno). Central Nevada location.

• •Northern California Fly Fishing - Guided fly fishing in Northern California waters.

While not a formal application service, they provide guidance on Nevada hunting applications and unit selection based on point totals. They can help non-residents maximize draw odds, particularly for the Nevada guide draw system. 50% non-refundable deposit required on all bookings.
