It’s a family affair going back to the 1940’s. Richard (Dick Sr.) Samuelson started out fishing in the area post WWII, bringing his son, Ray D “Sonny” and his friends into the area. Sonny found himself in the woods more than anywhere else and his passion for sharing it with others became very apparent as his buddies thought he was such a great host he should make a business out of it. His magnetic personality, knack for hospitality, horsemanship and knowledge of the area made for a great start. Commercially started in 1967, Sonny started out by providing quality horseback lead hunts. In 1987, son Richard (Dick Jr.) and Cathy Samuelson took over the business from Sonny. Honing in their horse packing techniques, dialing in the camp amenities and improving the sleeping tents helped the business grow.
