Chuck,
I just want to drop you a note to thank you for the great goose hunts that you provided for me and my friends and family. I have never had a guide work any harder to make a hunt more successful than you. You are constantly fine tuning your skills and equipment to make the hunts more productive and more enjoyable. My son from Colorado can't wait until next year to hunt with you again. Once again thanks for all you did to create magical memories for my friends ,son and I. When do you want the deposit for next year, how much and where do I send it.

"My 15 year old son and I always are trying to think of new activities. Hunting was something that neither of us were experienced with, but one evening...watching a flock of geese flying over our house....we both came up with a new idea at the same time. Why not try hunting?

Not knowing anything about the sport, Chuck Elder took us through all the basics. He did everything to make us feel comfortable, including a thorough briefing on safety. He approached our total ignorance as not a nuisance, but as a dedicated teacher who was taking a personal interest in helping us not only succeed, but to also enjoy the sport.

Bottom line, it was a totally enjoyable experience that we will repeat year after year. Best of all, we brought home close to two dozen birds!!"

" A perfect combination! I know of no other place in Pennsylvania where you can have so many excellent

waterfowl and upland bird hunting choices in one central location. James Creek Outfitters provides some great duck and goose shooting from one of their numerous leased fields and stream banks.

Not only is this beautiful country around Raystown Lake, but it provides some highly productive water fowling opportunities. I've hunted ducks, geese, pheasants and chukars with Chuck Elder a number of times and it has always been highly satisfying and productive. Chuck treats you like a guide should. He not only has great locations to hunt, but he has well trained dogs, has top-notch equipment, is a great waterfowl caller, and is purely a pleasure to be with. A real First Class experience.

Hunting with Chuck at his great locations is always included in my annual forays. You just won't find a more enjoyable hunting opportunity and more beautiful scenery anywhere in the Eastern US. And the final bonus is to be so near to Raystown Lake, where you can sneak off for a little fishing between hunts. Some of the best fishing in the East for most freshwater species both large and small. I haven't tried the turkey hunting over there yet, but it is on the agenda. Last time we were at the lake, we had gobblers and hens calling from all over the hills. And it's all public land. A Sportsman's Paradise, a great place to stay, and a great host. What more can a sportsman ask for ? "

I just wanted to let you know that I had a great time on all the three duck hunts I booked with you. I was most impressed with your knowledge of waterfowl and their behavior, not to mention your excellent calling techniques and expertise in decoy spreads. The easy access to your hunting location was truly a joy and I am look forward to your guiding services for the next season. Best Regards.

"Because of producing a weekly television show (Pennsylvania Outback/USA Outback), I have a tight time schedule and it's important to use my time wisely with the best guiding services available. James Creek Outfitters is a top notch waterfowling guide service and Chuck Elder is certainly among the top waterfowling experts to ever guide hunters in the Eastern fly-way. He is down to earth, honest, and will make sure his clients see birds. If I had only one choice for a guide service for ducks and geese, it would be Chuck Elder's James Creek Outfitters. "
