Colorado Buck

Where in the World is Colorado Buck


Raised in a hunting family, I was brought up in a magical world as a young boy who simply loved to be outside. I was introduced to hunting largely by my uncles C.A. and Teed Goforth. Both accomplished houndsmen, they guided for bear and mountain lion in Northern California and Southern Oregon. I began guiding hunters back in the early 70's, with my first successful hunter at age 12, all by myself. I still remember that great feeling of accomplishment. From that day forward, I’ve never wanted to do anything else! Once I was away from my uncles, my faithful and always devoted Mother took me hunting! The alarm going off at 5am and hot black coffee was the norm for me and mom each hunting season. As a teenager, I supplied the family with the meat supply almost entirely. I’ve guided for many different outfitters throughout the Rockies and in Texas. I ran bear and mountain lion hunts for other outfitters with my hounds and became quite well known as one of the best houndsman around. With each outfitter I worked with, I learned the goods and the not so goods of the outfitting business. In 1985 I felt it was time to put that knowledge to better use and I started my own outfitting business - Rocky Top Outfitters.
