What Hunters Say About Us!

My recent hunt of 2019 with Tom & Sarah Lanham of Buckhorn Outfitters was not only a successful hunt but enjoyable and memorable as well!  The camp & accommodations were comfortable and the livestock was reliable and well cared for.  The outfitter, cook, guides, and wrangler were easy to get along with as well as competent in their hard work.  This all made my beautiful bull Elk and Bear harvest a grand adventure, and one I will cherish for a long time.  In this day and age where you are cautious of companies and people living up to their marketing and word, Buckhorn Outfitters did everything they said they would do and then some. I would not think twice about booking another hunt with them!

I would highly recommend Buckhorn Outfitters. They are a great outfitter and are always working to make sure their clients needs are met. Tom knows the business well and knows the country. The cook Sarah, is a wonderful cook and you will not go hungry! The guides work extremely hard to get you on the game and are very knowledgeable! They are great people! I would highly recommend them!

– Garner Reynolds 

Buck Horn Outfitters is truly class act first rate professional outfitter. Tom is extremely knowledgeable of the back country and the habits of the elk and deer in those mountains. Sarah takes great care to make sure we had enough to eat. If one went hungry it was on them as Sarah always had more than enough food for us to eat. Phenomenal meals!

This was the best hunt I have ever been on. This hunt will push you to your extremes. You will be challenged physically and mentally. Being in shape is key. While no hunt is a guarantee, they will do everything to put you on an elk or deer. You will hunt long, you will hunt hard.

It was my pleasure getting to know Tom and Sarah. Truly remarkable friendly courteous people. The best test of an outfitter is if one will book with them again . Yes. Yes i would. I plan on booking another great hunt with them 2020.

My grandfather went hunting in Idaho in the 1940’s. I went with Tom and Sarah this past fall in memory of him and it was an awesome life experience. challenging , but so rewarding mentally and spiritually. To come home with a nice elk and bear was a plus as well. thanks buck horn outfitters for a great experience.
