Your Hosts
Chris - Karin - Gus

My wife Karin our son Augustus (Gus) and myself would like to invite you to join us here in New Mexico and SW Colorado for the finest elk and mule deer hunting in the country as well as all the other hunting options we have to offer here. I have been guiding in the area full time since 1996, the years before I moved to New Mexico I worked in the Bob Marshall Wilderness as well as the Cloud Peak Wilderness in Montana and Wyoming. I have also been a fly fishing guide since 1990 guiding all over Montana as well as here on the San Juan River in NM and in SW Colorado near Pagosa Springs, Colorado and Durango, Colorado.

When I moved to New Mexico my goal was to spend a few year scouting and understanding the elk and deer of the Southwest and then start back up with the hunts. I am happy to be able to offer the very best in both mule deer and elk hunting this great state has to offer. I look forward meeting you in our camps soon and showing you the best the southwest has to offer.

Chris and Karin Guikema My wife grew up in Colorado on the eastern side of Denver on the plains. She and I meet in Durango as I was getting my guide service on its feet and she was finishing up College. She was no stranger to a trout stream as she spent two years in Montana working for a guest ranch. Spending her days off fishing the trout streams of Yellowstone. One of our first trips together was a winter trip (Feb) to the Bighorn River. We both fished in temps from 5-10 degrees for 4 days, after that I knew I had a keeper! We were married in 1999 in a small meadow high above Durango Co. and we are both now living in Aztec, NM and fishing on the rivers or lake whenever we have a chance, and spending a great deal of time shed hunting and scouting year round. My wife is a full time realtor in the four corners area specializing in, local houses and ranch sales here as well as helping people relocate to New Mexico.

Our son was born on April 6th 2004 his name is Augustus Parson Guikema (Gus) he is not taking guided trips until fall 2020, but his schedule is still mostly open. He and I spend our summers scouting for elk and deer as well as shed hunting in the spring. This past fall he and I were out looking for elk when he started to say, antelope-antelope, I told him we were looking for elk today he responded with antelope all gone, about two seconds later a group of antelope ran in front of the truck, I think he’s a natural and more then happy to spend all day in the field looking for game. He has his own 8x35 and demands that he has his in hand as soon as I breakout mine.

Our love for the outdoors offers a unique chance for us to mix business and pleasure. We hope that you will enjoy your hunt or fishing trip with us! Stop back to the website often as we post new photos and hunt reports as often as we get a chance.
