My dad and I have been hunting at Buffalo Creek Guide Service for the last 14 years. You are treated like family when you walk through the door. Johnnie, Debbie and Harold are awesome people and my family and theirs have become great friends. The hunting is always great, the atmosphere is wonderful and the cooking is excellent. I can't remember a year when my coolers came home empty. This trip is the highlight of my year! I would highly recommend this Outfitter for any of the hunts you may prefer.
