BORN INTO THE HUNT
Scott's deep-rooted passion for hunting traces back to his childhood, where he developed a profound connection with the pursuit of gamebirds and big game animals. Raised in a family deeply immersed in hunting traditions, Scott's journey into the world of hunting began at a young age, instilling in him the values of fair chase and the appreciation for free-range hunts.
Offering hunters a truly authentic experience with no guarantees but the thrill of fair chase. The ethos of traditional, free-range hunting has been at the core of our approach, creating an environment where the challenge and respect for the natural habitat take precedence.
Scott's affinity for helicopters blossomed during his formative years, as he frequently accompanied his father on flights in and out of the hills. This exposure sparked a fascination with the aerial perspective, enriching his understanding of the terrain and enhancing his ability to identify prime locations for ground-based hunts.
Leveraging his extensive ground-based hunting knowledge, Scott seamlessly combines his passion for both hunting and helicopters. Drawing on years of experience, he guides hunters to optimal locations tailored to their fitness levels, timeframes, and the ever-changing seasonal conditions. Scott's unique blend of expertise, rooted in a rich hunting heritage, ensures that each expedition is not just a journey but an immersive and authentic hunting experience.
