    Chad Miller is the outfitter now, he is from BC. Super nice guy. Not sure if he owns it or not though?

    Big Nine’s reputation in the hunting world speaks for itself. We are recognized worldwide as a professional operation that goes the extra mile for its clients.

    Our Outfitter Chad’s introduction into guiding/outfitting began in 2002 when family friends recommended him to Bryan Martin. He started out wrangling and packing and eventually guiding which he immediately took too. Since then Chad has guided in the NWT, Asia, and a number of areas in BC and Alberta. He has always had a determined mindset, and has been willing to do whatever it took for hunters to realize their dream hunt. Aside from guiding he is also the owner operator of a Alberta Whitetail operation (Millers North Outfitting) and has always been committed to not only the success of the trip, but the enjoyment of it as well.

    Simon Fraser had pretty good judgement on what he found in BC

    Well hopefully he didnt learn any of Bryan Martins bad traits, probably not the best guy to have on your hunting/outfitting resume.

    I can only comment on my interactions with them, and they were pleasant, helpful, and was like chatting with most from here on HBC! Sorry I can't substantiate the bad stories/interactions!! Moosin

    I've known barry for a long time He has been a straight shooter with his guides and clients. Not sure what problems you had with him?
