N & S Guide Service

Colten Nelson and Austin Scheiber grew up hunting Northern California's farmland. Colten is the third generation to work this country; Austin is the fourth. That's not marketing—it's the foundation of their operation.

"What makes N & S Guide Service different stems from being local. Born and raised in the area, our deeply rooted relationships with local farmers and ranchers is incomparable."
