Friends of ours recently purchased an outfitting company called Willow Ranch Outfitters. They will take you and your friends or family hunting, fishing or horse packing. Peter and Brooke are awesome folks and their horses are oh so pretty.
(I stole some tiny photos from their site…that’s how it goes on the internet sometimes…)
Hunting isn’t really my thing, but if it is yours, you should go on one of their trips. Even if you don’t want to hunt, you should go on one of their trips. Why? Because the places they go are drop-dead gorgeous (you won’t actually drop dead on one of their trips). You get to ride a horse, stay in a super comfy wall tent and have someone cook you delicious meals. Sounds great, doesn’t it?
Now that I am taking horseback riding classes, this sounds like an amazing adventure.
Here is what they say about the business:

Now get out of here and go book your trip. Go shoot something. Tell your friends! These people have a baby and need the income…plus it would be an amazing trip. Tell them Melynda sent you. Now git!
You rock Melynda. Thanks for the shout out! Yes, it is very fun, very pretty, and VERY worth your while to hang with us in the mountains.
