I had the pleasure of meeting Erik at the 2024 Elk camp out of Deer Lodge. Erik was part of Mike

Smith's crew with Bartlett Creek Outfitters. I got to know Erik during my 5 days in camp and even

though I didn't punch my tag I had a chance but that's another story. Erik is a middle east combat vet,

cowboy, outdoorsman and most of all a proud father. He is great with the horses and has a lot of

experience and knowledge hunting, trapping and anything outdoors. The other client I was partnered

with tagged a 5x5 and Erik was there to do the heavy lifting. Erik also does taxidermy and has various

mounts at different businesses around the state. He is super easy to get along with and very helpful

with whatever you need. I'm signed up for the 2025 hunt and I can't wait to get back to camp for

another week of good times and making memories..
