Title: Anyone had experience with Full Draw Outfitters
Post by: gibbo80 on December 03, 2009, 12:25:00 PM
Looking to do a Black Bear hunt in the not to distant future and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with full draw outfitters and Fred Eichler.  I am not expecting to hunt with Fred but have heard nothing but great things about people that have met him or his wife.  With this in mind I would assume that there outfitting company would be a stand up place.  Hunting in Colorado would be great and I assume that Fred would know his fair share about hiring good guides and having great spots.  

Just looking for some insight.

Thanks

Fred and michele are good people. I've been friends with Fred since a 2001 hunt he guided me on. i've know Michele through the Muzzy shoot since 1992. He has some very good guides and great property to hunt. He has a good population of bears and they are pretty successful. I never hunted bears with him but when I was hunting elk he had two bear hunters and they both were successful. One got a beautiful cinnimon bear.

I hunted elk with Fred the past two years. You will have a great time hunting with them. The guides are extremely hard working and knowledgeable. They have tons of bears. You'll have as much fun in camp if Fred is there as you will hunting.

Good luck

I hunted mountain lion with Fred in '05. Can't say enough good. Michelle is wonderful. The guides when I was there were great, friendly, hard working. Did everything to help me get a cat.
