Title: okanogan valley guide service
Post by: huntnfmly on April 27, 2013, 01:06:22 PM: I'm taking my girls hunting muzzleloader season with ovgs this year. I've talked to Jarrod the owner a few times and it seems like a good hunt and wondering if anyone has hunted with them before. We are looking forward to it and would like to hear your stories

Post by: jackelope on April 29, 2013, 11:08:28 PM: Pat whateverhisnameis from Northwest Hunter was hunting with them too.

Is that Jerrod Gibbons? I've heard good things about them on here. I think if you do a search you'll find something. I think I remember some talk about them and the auction deer tag guy from a year or 2 or 3 ago too.
Just off the top of my head anyway, I could be wrong.

Post by: NWWA Hunter on April 30, 2013, 04:11:36 PM: Jerrods a real nice guy and I've heard great things about him and seen great animals taken. If I was going guided in this state for deer he would be my guy.

Post by: teanawayslayer on April 30, 2013, 04:20:08 PM: call jim zumbo. He has done a few hunts with them. I know one hunt was filmed. Saw it on the mens network. If you haven't booked with them yet aaron with early winters is a good guy and know's his stuff.

You and your girls are going to have a great time with OVGS. Jerrod is a great guy and will put you on deer. I went with him last year for my late whitetail hunt. I was very impressed with how much work he put in on my stand, scouting, and all around making sure it would be a good experience. Now, I didn't get to enjoy much of it due to him putting me on the buck I wanted about 15 minutes into the hunt (a nice 7x6 whitey) but it was still exciting.
He has a bunch of guys that guide for him as well. All of them that I have met are great guys that really know their stuff. They scout hard so that when the hunt comes, you will be in the right place at the right time! Jerrod also isn't someone that will build you up on BS.....he is a straight shooter. I know I was going to buy my son a trip with him this year for rifle season, but he was booked solid. I do know that most of his clients are returns, so he must be doing something right.
If ya got any questions, shoot me a PM....
