Our Guides are some of the best in the industry, and we pride ourselves with our service. Read below on each guide and learn more about these amazing people.
Jarrett Deuling is the owner/operator of the concession. He has over 25 years experience hunting and guiding in the Yukon and NWT. He has over 120 successful guided sheep harvests. Due to being raised in a sheep hunting family, he has taken many fine stone and dall sheep himself and helped his father and brothers on their sheep hunts. Jarrett gets very busy in September with flying to support all the guides and hunters with moving camps and meat throughout the concession.
Geordon joined our team in 2019 and has been a great addition. Geordon wrangled with the horse crew as well as guided a couple of hunts, which is very unusually for a first year wrangler. Geordon demonstrated great bush and mountain experience as well as an incredible set of eyes for spotting game for our clients.
Jayden joined the DSO team in 2019 and is a great asset to our horse crew. Always found with a positive attitude and a great work ethic, Jayden will do everything he can to ensure our guests have a memorable trip.
Kane Dawe – Kane started out as a wrangler many years ago with DSO and has worked his way to one of the top guides in the North country. Kane never takes a shortcut on anything, one of the hardest workers in all facets of the hunt and done with a smile. Kane does some backpack hunts and is one of the main horse crew guides. We are very pleased to have such a capable individual as Kane as part of our team.
We are very fortunate to have someone like Paul part of our team. Paul has a wealth of experience in the Yukon bush and is a man with many talents. Paul has been guiding our boat moose hunts and is a guide that can always find great bulls for our clients. Paul with his wife Rose, are Yukon residents and both are a huge part of our team.
Terry Ollie also started out as a wrangler with Koser Outfitters and has become a true professional guide. Known for having an excellent set of eyes he is able to spot animals where most people can barely see with binoculars. His skill with horses, excellent sense of humor and traditional Kaska knowledge give hunters a special experience.
Deuling Stone is very pleased that Bernard Briggs has joined the team. He has many years experience in the guiding industry, sending many hunters home with some world class animals and incredible memories. Bernard is a ‘’Jack of all trades” and his carpentry work is outstanding. You will not find a harder worker than Bernard.
There are very few guides in the North Country with as much experience as you will find with James. James is on our horse crew and is very familiar with the area, horses and the game found within the concession, as he grew up in the nearby village of Ross River. James also traps during the winter months and therefore spends much of the winter in the concession.
After a long absence from the Yukon, Irf is back! We are very pleased Irf has joined the backpack and boat crew. Irf is extremely hard working and has many successful sheep, moose, caribou and grizzly hunts under his belt. He is a ski instructor during the winter months which keeps him in excellent physical condition, a perfect situation to be ready for the start of the guiding season.
Bob is on the backpack crew and you will not find a more thorough hunter. He is very patient and will leave no valley, basin or rock unchecked in order to find a mature ram. Bob has many fine rams taken during his hunting career.
Nathan is a born and bred Yukoner. He has developed into one of the top horse guides in the North for any species. It is a rare find to have an individual in his early twenties, that has such a tremendous work ethic, high ethical standard and tremendous bush skills. Nathan, along with his excellent horse skills is a very accomplished backpacker. In the off season, Nathan is a journeymen carpenter.
Ken has been hunting for himself and guiding others in the Yukon wilderness for 35 years. He loves the outdoor life and works hard to protect the wild places so that future generations of hunters and enthusiasts can continue to marvel at our beautiful territory. He taken some very fine animals over his hunting career and would like to help you do the same.
Vern’s first Yukon sheep hunt was in 1972 using a flimsy aluminum frame backpack, home made sleeping bag, 8ml. sheet of plastic for shelter with two dozen buns, a pound of butter and a large jar of peach jam for sustenance. Things change, and now, after over 40 years spent guiding his sons and others to tremendous Yukon sheep and moose, Vern has joined our team. Vern loves telling and writing stories and for his latest award winning composition, click here.
