Love them or hate them, a Rage in the cage work like a charm when put in the right spot… then again so would a field point 😂. After letting an arrow fly and finding it covered in blood is a sure sign of relief and a short tracking job to follow.

If you’re a Colorado resident and see a charge $39.75 or if you’re a non-resident and see a $101.75 charge you drew a bear tag. Good luck out there this September

The boo boo bears are starting to wake up, find those sunny hillsides, and fill up on spring grass.

We are looking to hire 1-2 additional team members to start during the last week of May or first week in June.
Must have horse and/or mule experience. Riding, saddling, general care understanding is essential. Mountain packing experience a plus.
Must have your own vehicle.
Fly fishing experience.
Ability to drive a truck and trailer a plus.
Must have good references.
Pay based on experience, includes housing.
Interest in big game hunting - not essential - but if interested and competent this position will lead to bear/deer/elk guiding opportunities in the Fall.
If you want the adventure of working in a true wilderness environment, here’s your chance. In a season with us you will garner more mountain experience than most outdoorsman gain in a lifetime. Whiners and those afraid of physical work need not apply.

It always amazes me how well a 400-500lb animal can hide away in the aspens. If it weren’t for her nose sticking out, I’d have never seen this cow elk... when she turns her head back you realize how easy it would be to miss her.

My September season is all over the place year-to-year... one year it’ll be sheep mania then the next it will be bears... but it seems like the white puffballs always get on the schedule. 2021 is already stacked up hunting billies. Good times up in the nasty terrain.

Running around in Florida’s sunshine... although it’s awesome, I’d be lying if I didn’t say it makes me reminisce a little on packing elk out of the wilderness on those damn cold Fall days... hopefully I can recall the warmth in a few months

This time of year, with a little green grass creeping up along the Colorado mountain roads, gets me missing my Springs running around chasing bears up in British Columbia. Awesome terrain, tons of bears and good friends. We caught up to this grizz about 20mins later on a snow slide.

On the 8th day he built big heavy leaning cottonwood trees for barber chairs, and so everyone gets plenty of chain sharpening practice!

A glimpse at the horse and mule crew... nice weather, melting snow, everyone’s healthy, putting on some lbs. For anyone interested in how we feed so many horses in the winter, I talk a bit about our Diller feeders too.

This is the first year the CPW is giving out a moose tag in units 25 and 26 in Colorado. There are some big ones that haven’t ever been hunted!

Doing some traveling to places a bit more into Spring... reminds me that the snow will retreat to the mountain tops and will be at it again in no time.

Hunting with horses is awesome but the elk don’t all die right on the trail. Mark and Lavern got their workout in helping to pack this one back to the ponies.

As always, had an awesome time being on podcast. The draw is coming up in Colorado, so we talked a lot about my thoughts on strategy, units, regulation changes, etc... We also touched on chronic wasting disease, wolves, and the future of wildlife management here in CO.... Might be fun to do a podcast just on those topics at some point! Hope it’s helpful. Thanks for having me on Jay!

True Hunts and Cliff Gray

Cliff and the True Hunts staff have guided hundreds of extreme mountain hunts across North America over the past 16 years. The majority of these hunts have been in remote wilderness areas that require backpacking or the uses of horses and mules. These experiences have forged Cliff and the True Hunts crew into some of the world’s premiere elk, mule deer, mountain goat, bear and bighorn sheep guides.

True Hunts not only provides expeditions led by these top guides, it provides multiple levels of hunter training for aspiring and experienced hunters. First-time hunter courses leave hunters capable of planning and executing their own hunts in varying conditions. Emphasis is placed on self-reliance. The more advanced course hones skills needed for the most extreme mountain hunts.

Outside of his extensive mountain guiding experience, Cliff is an avid backpacker, shooter, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner. He has a pilot’s license and is a certified wilderness first responder. Cliff is a licensed guide in British Columbia and a registered outfitter in the State of Colorado with commercial special use permits for hunting, fishing, and remote horse packing in the White River National Forest and Flat Tops Wilderness Area of the Rocky Mountains. Cliff earned a BA from Stanford University in Economics and a MBA from University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business.

Cliff is an official measurer for both Boone & Crockett and Pope & Young records programs
