| Hello from Beaver Creek Outfitting! My name is Paul Ritchey, and I, along with my wife Starla, are in the process of buying the outfit. Clayton and Lorraine Barkhoff have been our friends for quite some time and are helping us get started in the business. I have been a guide for most of my life, working around the state with different outfitters, so I know what is out there. * My passion is hunting, since I have been a pup, toting along behind my dad in the mountains of Montana, enjoying every minute of it. I feel I have what it takes to provide hunters with the right hunting area and the right equipment to make the hunt safe. I have the ability to provide the best opportunity for a hunter to be successful taking a trophy game animal. * I also like the Lost Fork area because I am able to provide a quality hunt for folks who aren't in the prime of their life anymore. It is a fact that folks who can afford this type of hunt are generally retired and aren't interested in scaling Mt. Everest or breaking rough stock horses. Although, if you like a challenge in rugged country we can accommodate! Another area that, in my opinion, gets overlooked in a lot of outfits is the quality of guides that are hired. I'm committed to hiring the best possible guides I can get. Being a guide myself for years, I know what it takes to be successful. I look for the same qualities in the guides I hire. * Although Clayton is selling the business, his love for outfitting remains. He will be working in the camp for me during the 2008 season, sharing his experiences and telling hunting stories from past years. I will be taking over the business upon licensing and meeting the requirements of the Montana Board of Outfitters, which will be completed in the spring of 2008. Until then, all official transactions will be completed through Clayton Barkoff as the licensed outfitter. *We hope that you seriously consider Beaver Creek Outfitting to provide your next guided hunt in magnificent Montana!
