"I saw more bull elk in four days than most hunters see in a lifetime. After discussing a plan of attack with my guide, we executed the plan and took a beautiful trophy bull the next day." — Rob Ethington, late-season elk hunter

Their crew brings serious credentials: accomplished backcountry navigation skills on horseback and mule, deep hunting knowledge of the territory, and trained chefs who keep hunters fueled with solid meals in remote camps. This isn't base camp hunting—it's full immersion in one of Nevada's most remote and productive hunting regions.

The Jarbidge Wilderness isn't easy to access, and it's not a spot for DIY first-timers. Having a guide family that knows every canyon, water source, and animal movement pattern makes the difference between a frustrating scouting mission and actually connecting on trophy game. The Pruntys understand what trophy hunters are after and how to execute the hunt once the opportunity appears.
