Endorsed Outfitters that hunt

Whitetail Deer

Paradise Outfitters

One of the most important assets an outfitter can possess is intimate knowledge of the land he outfits on. When we vet an outfitter familiarity of the land is way up on the list of what we’re looking for. I don’t know of an outfitter with better credentials on this front. Wayne Henderson was born over 70 years ago and has lived on it all but 10 of those years. He and his wife, Diane, are the definition of a family operation.

While we know it costs money to provide an exceptional hunt, Craig doesn't look for the most expensive outfits. He looks for outfits that deliver what they promise. Our endorsed outfitters range from mom and pop outfits in the mountains of North America to luxurious outfits in Tanzania. There's simply isn't a checklist that could cover the amazing spectrum of Craig Boddington Endorsed Outfitters.

By recommending an outfitter to Craig, you're helping to ensure your fellow hunters' reputation, safety and hunting dreams are protected.
