I decided to take my 9 year old grandson on a guided wild turkey hunt. My good friend Paul highly recommended Cary Jellison owner of G&J. We had an amazing time, culminating in over a dozen strutting gobblers within 70 yards. On the second day we set a blind, and almost immediately had 6-8 Tom’s going ballistic and flying down from their roosts. His Northern California hunting leases are stunning, and worth the price of admission. The forests had magnificent old growth trees with some huge sequoias, Douglas and grand fir, western hemlock, black oak, Sitka spruce, and bigleaf maple. There was flowing creeks, with cool fern covered riparian areas. Well just as the sun was making its appearance in the eastern sky, a magnificent old 11 3/4” bearded gobbler came in on a trot to our calling, alas looking for love in all the wrong places! Cary is a true professional outdoorsman, who after decades of guiding clients still loves what he does, and gets excited when his clients are successful. He’s a true gentleman, and more important is just fun to be around. I look forward to many more hunts with G&S, and wether it’s spring turkey, fall B&C black tails, tule elk, or a once on a lifetime desert sheep I can’t recommend him highly enough. Only problem is he only takes a small amount of clients per year so book early, or take your chances with fly bye nights.
On my last hunting trip, master guide Cary Jellison took me hunting wild boar on the Shamrock ranch in Northern California. It was an amazing adventure and I harvested a great boar after long day glassing. I have spring hunted turkey 6 times successfully with Cary, and I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting a quality boar, turkey or Boone and Crocket black tail deer hunt. See pictures attached!
I’ve been hunting all my life and when I was younger and had the time, I enjoyed going to deer hunting spots without any preparation and got exactly what I was expecting, nothing but a hangover and good times. As I’ve gotten older and the ability to hire a guide, I can say with absolute certainty, Cary with G &J Outdoors is the very best. I’ve been on 14 big game hunts with Cary and or one of his premier guides and I have amazing memories and mounts on my wall. If your time is valuable and Limited for scouting, buying food, making a camp, and on and on, Cary is the only way to go. Dan R.
I’ve hunted with Cary twice now and have another hunt booked for this upcoming fall. These guys are top notch! He feeds you excellent food, is always prepared for the hunt, he knows how to find game, and most of all he gives you real expectations of the hunt you’ll be going on. I would recommend G&J to anyone!
I have fished and hunted with Cary for over thirty years. He and his crew are the very best in the business!! He has a six sense for where the best game will be and how to take them. And he is a great host! I highly recommend G&J Outdoors!! You will not be disappointed.
A guided hunt with Cary is both an adventure and opportunity to learn from a master. He takes the time to share his deep hunting knowledge so the hunter returns with more than just a full freezer. I’ve enjoyed our conversations as much as the beautiful country he hunts in and appreciate his commitment to conservation.
I’ve really enjoyed hunts with G&J. Guides are super-knowledgeable and flexible to suit your goals. They work really hard and spend a lot of time actively communicating from guide to guide during season to make sure all clients under the G&J umbrella are having the best possible chance at success. I’m looking to try more and more of their opportunity offerings and wouldn’t think twice about booking them if I was someday lucky enough to pull a dream tag.
I have hunted with Cary for over ten years. He does his homework on all the hunts he conducts. In the case of turkey and California elk hunts, his leased property always have the highest quality trophy potential and good numbers. His attention to detail and persistent hard work is foundational to his ability to consistently position hunters for opportunities at trophy class animals. He has some of the finest upland game dogs for those that like upland game hunting. As well.
