Jeff took us to the worst possible location, where there was no sign of ever being elk. We asked him to take us to another area and he refused, saying we just had to wait for elk to show up. Jeff had no trouble asking for more and more money though... even to the point of threatening to sell my spot to someone else if I didn't send him money by a certain time and day. You'll see all the great review raving about this place on his site... he gets to choose what he wants to show after all. We were lied to and robbed of our money. Worst experience we have ever had. Jeff is. I professional and ruins the hunting game by continuing to be in business. Don't waste your time or money going there. Jeff Musgrave is a huge scammer.

Let me start by saying Im not a professional or lifelong trophy hunter. This was my first paid…read morehunt. I hunt yearly, mainly whitetail. Its been my dream to hunt Bison and have the meat for the freezer and hoped to have a nice shoulder mount. I had another outfitter booked and they cancelled my trip 2 weeks out after letting some Rich hunters that were already there shoot my Bull. I had to go to the web and I landed on Severson Outfitters and after blasting 10+ outfitters Pete was the only one who texted, emailed and called back within an hour. I really appreciated the conversation and the way Pete understood my needs. Im sure some outfitters get aggravated with less experienced hunters but Pete was extremely helpful and communicative (that was the reason I chose him). We arrived to the ranch lodge at almost midnight because of a snowstorm and rockslide knocked out the roads from Denver. Pete was there to greet my wife with a hospitable handshake and welcome. The lodge was warm, beds comfortable and all in the hunting spirit. The food/meals was family style prepared by Pete and his wonderful wife Sarah. The fridge was stocked and open bar was a nice touch. We had already negotiated a price range for the Bison Bulls that we would be hunting. I was scared (hearing about other hunters experiences with bad guide-price-ambushes). This was not the case. Every animal we saw that I was interested in, Pete had a straight answer information and pricing because I asked. It was never uncomfortable or awkward (just wished I had a bigger bank account lol). The hunt: we went up to the hunting ranch where Pete has a thousand acres with all sorts of animals. I didn't know what to expect with "High Fence" but it was NOT EASY. I am in good shape like 140.6 shape. So when I say it was a long exciting and fun hunt it was. The Bison herd was not having an easy hunt. They used every inch of the trees, rocks, washes, gulleys, knolls, and more. They used the numbers and were surprisingly nimble. Pete and Cody (guide) put in miles of hustle on foot and in the side by side. They also accommodated my wife and I trying to capture the hunt with camera/tripod. We were after a specific trophy bull and had to wait for the safe and ethical shot. (Pre-hunt sighted in 300 WM-so Pete knew my skill level) so when the shot was clear I took it. We were lucky enough to push the Bison down out of 4ft show on steep terrain down onto a small 1-2 ft snow meadow. After the Bull was down Pete and Cody made sure that we got all the time for my wife and I to capture pictures/videos and then the processing began. They absolutely flew at processing an animal of that size! Then straight into cooler hanging. We were again met with a warm meal and smiles from Sarah at the lodge. Pete has everything streamlined. The USDA Butcher info and then Taxidermist and even shipping for meat and mount to come. It's all seem-less and easy. I was the one who brought up settling up payment. Pete never made it feel like a paid hunt, even though this was my first paid hunt. Will be back hopefully for Watusi and Boar in the future. Thanks to Severson Outfitters for the hunt of a lifetime.
