Our Guides
Phil Jones
I've been accused of being more focused on hunting for hunting ranches than I am on hunting or fishing for trophies! Over the last 30 years, I have searched the Great Plains and the Rockies for the most beautiful properties to develop incredible hunting ranches. Having been raised in view of the majestic Wichita Mountains, I guess I've been destined to return back to my version of paradise. We proudly offer our clients the chance to experience outstanding adventures in a truly special part of America. It is my specific goal to develop and feature world-class elk hunting on top of our already incredible deer, hog, waterfowl, and upland game hunting here in Southwest Oklahoma. Tell us about your dream hunt and we will do our best to help you succeed! Call me at 405 202 2838 or one of our other guides to make plans!

Will Iman
Will Iman serves as our operations manager as well as a guide. Will, a native of Texas, recently retired from the United States Army after 22 years of service. Will grew up in a family that hunted together and his earliest hunting memories are of following behind his father carrying West Virginia bushy tails. His military career further fed this passion, allowing him hunting and fishing opportunities all across North America from Alaska to the Florida Keys.
While Will has managed to score Alaska moose, elk, caribou, black bear, multiple mature Kansas and Missouri whitetail, numerous waterfowl and upland game bird species, his true love is hunting turkey. As a father of 4, his other passion is teaching young hunters about the wonders of hunting and the outdoors, the same as his father and grandfather taught him.
