Cody Jay, Guide
As a Utah native, Cody thrives in the diverse landscapes of the Wasatch Front. He's well-rounded in various hunting disciplines, including big game, upland game, and waterfowl. But while he enjoys it all, his true passion lies in the unique challenges and rewards of cold-weather and winter pursuits. When the temperatures drop and other head indoors, you'll find Cody tracking upland game through the snow or patiently waiting for a bite on the ice. He embraces the winter elements with infectious enthusiasm, making him perfect for anyone looking to experience the thrill of hunting or ice fishing in a winter wonderland.
