Big Horn Sheep

"Eric,

It was a wonderful hunt that fulfilled a dream of mine, to shoot a bighorn with a traditional bow. Thank you for the WHOLE HUNT. It was wonderful. Thanks.

Sincerely,"

"Dear Eric,

Thank you for the hunt of a lifetime. I wanted to send you some pictures and a gift certificate to the store (good anytime). I had the best experience in my hunting career. I enjoyed every minute of it. Thinking back on the experience I would not change a thing.

I miss being on the mountain. I plan on doing more things in the Pecos wilderness and will call you of course. Thank you again, I will keep in touch from time to time.

Sincerely,"

"To my good friend Eric,

I just want to thank you for an extremely successful New Mexico Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep hunt. Your knowledge and attention to detail was top notch and definitely contributed to a tremendous hunt and a tremendous trophy. Every aspect of my hunt including your equipment, camp, horses, food and guides were bar none. I could not be happier with the knowledge of the area and spotting and scoring trophy bighorn sheep that you and Tito displayed during my hunt. This was my sixth hunt for wild sheep and I could just not be more pleased with your services. The beauty and majesty of the Pecos Wilderness was also awesome. I can hardly wait until August to be back in New Mexico to hunt antelope with you and Tito!

Thank you very much,"

"Eric,

It has been one week since we harvested my sheep and I am still on cloud nine. Our adventure really started 8 weeks ago. When you called my home to tell me I had drawn a Once in a lifetime, New Mexico Bighorn Sheep tag.

If you recall, we spoke at length that night and I was very impressed with your honesty and sincerity. You answered my thousand and one questions with patience. Over the next few days, other guides for the area contacted me giving their sales pitch. I got the feeling that they were saying what clients wanted to hear, but their operations seemed large and impersonal.

We spoke several more times over the next few days and I became convinced that you were the proper choice for my once in a lifetime tag. The deciding factor was that you were personally guiding me instead of placing me with an assistant guide like the other guys do.

The next few weeks were a whirlwind of activity. Trying to get new gear, shoot my rifle, and getting my sea level body in condition for mountain hunting. Numerous phone calls and e-mails and I finally arrived in Albuquerque.

I have been on numerous hunts in different states and I was very impressed upon seeing the quality of your equipment, horses, camp, and assistance staff. We camped at 11,000 feet yet had good hot food and cots for our sleeping bags.

Next, came two days of intense scouting for a trophy sheep. I was concerned that since it was a once in lifetime that I might have to settle for an average ram. You kept telling me you knew where the trophies were and sure enough we found them the first afternoon.

Friday was a nervous day. Late Friday afternoon we found our sheep and watched him until he bedded down at dark.

I don`t think I slept much Friday night but we were in position to glass at daylight opening morning. Within 15 minutes you located the ram. A short re-position for the shot and he was ours. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would harvest a Boone & Crockett class sheep.

As you are well aware, I am a Law Enforcement Officer (Game Warden) with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. In the course of my duties and in all the guided hunts I have been on, I have met all kinds of guides. Some were lazy, incompetent, and unethical. A few were outright crooks. I would like to say that it was a pleasure to hunt with you and Tito. You and Tito are two of the most honest, hardworking, ethical and fair chase hunters I have ever hunted with.

I realize that you put much pre season work into my hunt. You made several scouting trips to locate sheep before I arrived. I feel those efforts during the pre season were one of the main reasons we were successful. When I arrived you already knew what drainages held sheep and what ones did not.

In closing I would like to once again say thanks for making my once in a lifetime hunt just that. I will never forget the beauty of the mountains, the majesty of the sheep and the friendships made.

Your friend,"

"Eric,

Superb service. The guides of BCA are extremely congenial, knowlegeable, and experienced. If I ever draw for another hunt in the Pecos, BCA is the first and only service I will look to. This was an excellent hunt and a terriffic experience for everyone involved. Thanks to Eric for the memories and the tremendous ram hanging on my wall."

"Dear Eric,

I cannot thank you enough for the incredible and exciting adventures we had hunting and eventually harvesting my totally awesome ram. He was more than I hoped for. He was a mature ram about 11 ½ years old with excellent mass all the way around each horn and plenty of character. Your son Joseph was an excellent cook and wrangler. His youth and strength was a big plus when we packed out my ram. The horses were the best high country horses I have been on.

Eric, both you and Joseph worked your tails off to give me a memorable and quality hunting experience. I am sure that your future clients will enjoy your services as much as I did. If your future clients have any doubts or questions they can call me anytime for a reference.

Thanks again Eric and Joseph from a very satisfied customer.

Sincerely,"

Rex Archer, Albuquerque, NM
