George “Hef” Taulman, is
Founder and Owner of United
States Outfitters, Inc. Hef is a full-
time outfitter. Originally a pharmacist,
his hobby of “taking big bulls” developed
into his business. Hef ’s demand for attention to detail, not only for himself but
for the entire staff of guides and cooks,
reflects on the overall camp experience
in every single camp we host. Hef also
has a unique ability to create and develop
quality programs for our clients. It has
always been Hef ’s belief that “it is easy
to be a quality outfitter, but only if you
are working in quality areas.” He started
United States Outfitters in 1986 and its
Professional Licensing Service in 1991.
Hef has maintained our presence in the
best trophy areas in the nation by offering
multiple species with each individual trophy hunter’s needs in mind. Hef has made
United States Outfitters and it’s clients
into the success stories they are today.
Andy Valerio, Licensing Expert,
Operations Manager, has probably
guided more successful trophy elk hunters
than anyone in the nation in the past twenty-one years. Master is in charge of Field
Operations for the various camps United
States Outfitters uses. Many television
shows and videos feature Andy’s talents.

Miss Jean Taulman, Owner/Office Manager, has the task of keeping
ever-changing Portfolio Records up-to-date. A licensing expert herself, and an
avid out-doors woman, Miss Jean’s experience over the past twenty-plus years,
undoubtedly makes her as knowledgeable as anyone in the industry.
Travis “Okie” Benes,
Operations Manager, is
well known for his New Mexico
Gila National Forest expertise. He
has guided on public and private
lands for the past 20 years and is
famous for finding the “Big Bulls”.
PRIVATE RANCH HUNTS VS LICENSING HUNTS . . .
HUNTS
We offer 2 types of hunts: DRAW
HUNTS (primarily public land) and
PRIVATE LAND HUNTS. Both
hunts are basically equal in harvest
quality, success, camp size, guide ratio
(usually 1 guide to 2 hunters), meals, and
transportation during the hunt, meat and
trophy care.
DRAW HUNTS
Draw hunts are available for elk, whitetail deer, mule deer, antelope, shiras
moose, desert sheep, rocky mountain
bighorn sheep, dall sheep, mountain goat,
coues deer, mountain lion, oryx and ibex.
These hunts are in states that we have
applied to the lottery and have been
lucky enough to draw a permit. These
areas are of the same quality and success
as on our Private Land hunts, but cost
less because there are no land owner
access fees or management cost. Usually
these states will limit four hunters to an
application; if one is drawn, the entire
group draws. This way your hunting
party stays together.
Draw hunts are the best value and
quality in the nation. These hunts are
priced only for guiding and outfitting.
The only disadvantage to these hunts is
planning. We have no guarantee when
or if you are going to draw the tag. You
should let our Professional Licensing
Service apply multiple tags to various
states for different species to dramatically
increase your chance of getting a quality
hunt. Accommodations on these hunts
are usually cabins or deluxe tent camps
depending on the areas.
Licensing hunts should be applied for
even if you are booked on a Private Land
hunt. We can apply you to areas with
similar time frames and with equal or
better quality animals. If you are lucky
enough to be drawn, we will roll your
deposit from the Private Land to the
Draw hunt and you will go on the less
expensive hunt.
PRIVATE LAND HUNTS
Private land hunts can be scheduled for
elk, whitetail and mule deer.
Private land hunts differ from draw
hunts as the private land hunts are more
expensive and have guaranteed tags,
thus no drawing is required. When
you book a Private Land Hunt, you are
scheduled for a certain ranch at a certain
time. These hunts are usually booked a
year or more in advance with an average
of 6 to 8 hunters per camp. Many of
our clients book themselves on a certain
ranch every year. Accommodations on
these hunts are usually a lodge or cabin.
The advantage to this type of hunt is that
you can plan your hunt for a certain time
period more than a year in advance.
Gratuities
One of the most commonly asked questions to our management is the amount
that a hunter should tip his guide and
cook. We all understand that gratuities are
strictly at the hunter’s discretion, however,
our guides and cooks alike work very hard
to ensure your hunt is successful as well as
unforgettable and appreciate your gratuity. Tips start at $500.00 for guides and
$100.00 for cooks per hunter.

WHAT USO HUNTS INCLUDE
Guides
Every United States Outfitters hunt is
priced at one guide per two hunters. Our
firearm hunts normally run a high success
rate and guides that are successful early
generally remain in camp, which means that
most hunters end up with a one-on-one
guide. However, if you would like to start
out on a One-on-One basis, that can easily
be arranged for an additional $1,000 for a
five day hunt or $1,200 for a six day hunt. If,
you have a non-hunter accompany you, and
they do so in the field, you MUST add these
prices to your hunt cost. We also highly recommend that you add the One-on-One for
Mobility Impaired (MI) and Sheep hunts.
Meals
Our full-time cooks prepare three meals a
day which are plentiful and full of variety.
Special diets are prepared upon a hunters
request, please call early. Soft drinks, and
snacks are also supplied. We do not supply
liquor but it can be brought by the client for
personal consumption.
Accommodations
If you’ve booked one of our Private Ranch
hunts you can expect to stay in a cabin or
lodge. Our cabins are equipped with modern conveniences although some are a bit
primitive. You will need to bring a bed roll.
If you have drawn a tag through our Licensing Service, many of these hunts (especially
early season) will be in Tent Camps. Usually
each tent camp is set up with the amenities
of comfortable beds, separate sleeping tents,
a separate cook tent and hot showers. Most
late season licensing hunts are in cabin type
facilities.

Trophy Care
The guides will skin and cape your trophy
for you. If you decide to use your own or a
different taxidermist than we recommend,
your guide will cover up the points and skull
plate in preparation for your return flight
in accordance with all airplane regulations.
Your cape will also be prepared for your
flight or drive home. If you decide to use
the taxidermist we recommend, we will assist
you in completing the proper paperwork and
arrange for your trophy to be transported to
the taxidermist.
Meat Care
Upon harvesting your animal, it will be skinned,
quartered and set to hang in cold storage. If your
plans are to take the meat home with you (either through the airlines or in your vehicle) you
should bring a couple of large coolers in order to
transport the meat. Most camps have the facilities available for you to prepare the meat for your
return trip. If you wish to use the meat processor
we recommend, we will assist with the paperwork
and arrange for transportation to the processor. Though we can recommend some fine local
businesses, you are responsible for contracting
for work done, payment, and shipping selection
and costs. Meat donations are acceptable and the
proper paperwork will be provided in camp.
Transportation
During the Hunt
Because of our mild southwestern terrain
the majority of our hunting is done by fourwheel drive vehicles and by foot. Very little
horseback hunting is required simply because the terrain is not very demanding and
relatively easy to access, especially on private
land. Generally when hunting areas that are
difficult to access, horses are mainly used for
packing purposes.
AND DON’T . . .
License Fees
If a client draws a licensing hunt in
which United States Outfitters fronts
the license fee, that fee will be invoiced
accordingly and must be reimbursed to
United States Outfitters within 30 days
or amount will be charged to client’s
credit card on file. Drawn licenses are
non-transferable and non-refundable for
any reason. If a client books a Private
Ranch Hunt, a “Hunt Agreement” will
be sent with other pertinent information to be filled out and sent back ASAP
along with the appropriate fee. We will
then obtain the license from the Game
and Fish Department and have it in
camp for you. USO will automatically
be your Outfitter for AZ, NV, NM, KS,
WY and UT hunts.
Transportation
to the Hunting Area
Each hunter is responsible for their own
transportation into camp by either flying or driving. If you elect to fly in, car
rental is available at almost all major
airports near our hunting areas. Due to
our high harvest success, having a rental
or personal vehicle in camp allows you
to sight-see, run errands or leave early (if
you so desire) once you have harvested
your animal. Shuttle service is only available for certain hunt areas so you may
want to inquire prior to making your
travel arrangements.
Gross Receipt Tax
Depending on which state you are hunting, a sales tax may need to be included
in the price of your hunt. If applicable,
your invoice will show this item.
WHAT OUR LICENSING SERVICE DOES FOR YOU . . .
Professional Licensing
Program
More and more states are setting aside
trophy areas and implementing a “limited
lottery draw” as a type of management
program to yield more trophy animals.
This idea of limited permits is the same
management concept used on United States
Outfitters’ private land leases. We recognized
this and are offering the best of these limited
draw type hunts to our clients.
The unique aspect of our program is that
we not only submit the applications for you
but also, in most cases, front the tag fees for
you. This will allow you to apply for more
applications than you would otherwise.
Since 1991, United States Outfitters/
Professional Licensing Service has identified
the best hunting opportunities in many of
the Rocky Mountain States. We consult
with you yearly about your hunting goals,
and then make the selected applications.
This eliminates the chances of incorrectly
completed applications and missed deadlines.
With constantly changing regulations and
hunt dates from state to state, this program
provides a valuable service.
Quality tags do not go unnoticed by
others. The competition for these tags
is intense. This necessitates making
applications to numerous states to increase
your chance of drawing a quality tag. Most
of our applications are in areas having
limited tags, and while other hunters may
be present in the area, the lack of numbers
is what gives these hunts the true “quality
hunting experience.”
Enrolling in the service is easy. United
States Outfitters’ Professional Licensing
Application includes all the information
required by the various state game and
fish departments. A Registered Agent
and Limited Power of Attorney will also
be executed by you in favor of United
States Outfitters so we can sign your
hunt application for you. The biography
portion gives us an insight of the quality
you are looking for as well as any physical
limitations you might have
the program as long as it is not being held at
the time by the state being applied to.
When you are successful in drawing your
permit you will be immediately notified.
You simply reimburse us for the license
fee with your credit card on file. United
States Outfitters will outfit your hunt, have
your tag in camp and provide you with any
further information to make your hunt a
quality experience. United States Outfitters/
Professional Licensing Service does not
provide unguided hunts.
In order to participate in the service
and get your portfolio of applications
started, you need to send us the one-time
consulting fee of $120 per application, any
Fee for Bonus/Preference Point, any NonRefundable License Fee, and the NonRefundable Application Fee. United States
Outfitters will provide information and
recommendations, based on the extensive
research and expertise we have acquired
through the years as one of the leaders in the
outfitting industry.
You may put applications on hold from
year to year or ask that only preference/bonus
points be obtained for that year in order
to maintain preference, but not draw. If
your circumstances change and you need to
withdraw from the service, a simple written
request will refund any monies you have in

Professional Licensing Service was the
original licensing service started in ’91 by USO.
George and his staff realized the opportunity
they could provide for their clients by simply
helping them to draw the best tags available
for the species sought. Our continued success
has brought a lot of wannabes into existence.
But why is USO’s Professional Licensing
Service the best choice when looking for a
high quality guided hunt?
Reason 1
USO is not a booking Agent. Other
recent services like Cabela’s Tags or Huntin’
Fool are “Booking Agents” who provide
licensing services then refer you to only
outfitters who pay them a commission in
order to do so.
USO is yo u r O ut f i t te r
fr o m s ta r t to f i n i sh . . .
Ask the “booking agents”:
• Do you suggest the best outfitters or just
the ones who pay a commission?”
• If I have problems with the hunt, do
your ‘booking agents’ stand responsible?”
Our Hunts are
conducted on both
Public and
Private Lands
6
Reason 2
USO has the experience in the units
you should want tags in. USO has guided in
these areas yearly since 1991, we know what
they can provide, and we know when to move
from areas to others because of quota changes,
date changes, weapon changes, etc.
Ask the “booking agents”:
• Have you physically been in this unit
during hunting season?”
• Have you personally seen the type of
bulls killed in this unit?”
• Do you use your personal knowledge or
just use Game and Fish’s Websites?
Reason 3
USO is far less expensive than the
“Booking Agents”. Knowing these quality
tags are very hard to draw and likely to take
many years to draw, you would have to be a
complete “hunting fool” to pay the “booking
agents” prices. In fact, you would have paid
much more than the cost of the hunt after
you finally draw the tag and now you will
have to pay again. Compare using the ’05
costs of each service and applying the 4 top
elk, 3 top mule deer, 4 top desert sheep, and 3
top Rocky Mountain Sheep applications.
Ask the “booking agents”:
• Are these costs, in fact, true?”
• What service are you providing in
addition, that can justify these costs?”
Reason 4
Once in our service, we work for you.
We don’t produce a fancy and costly magazine
of information simply obtained from some
Game and Fish website. This serves only to
educate everyone the magazine is shared with
to apply to this or that unit, making it harder
to draw for the real hunter. The “screamers”
that we send are to our applicants only, are
to inform them of opportunities that they
themselves will only benefit.
Remember:
The Average “High Quality Hunt
Application” takes 5 or more years to draw!
So . . . . Why Pay Every Year?
TIPS
FOR
GETTING
DRAWN
Tips For Getting Drawn
Submit All Possible Applications
Nothing will replace persistence or just
plain luck when it comes to drawing these
types of tags, but the following tips will help.
Submit numerous applications to have a
decent chance of drawing one tag. Don’t
think that you should apply for elk, draw it
and be successful, then move on to mule deer,
then sheep, etc. Apply for as many tags as you
can so that your odds of drawing a tag are
greater. Remember we front most tag fees.
Always Use Preference/Bonus point Programs.
These are programs that are put in place by
some states to increase the odds of applicants
that have not previously drawn. The two
main types of programs are preference points
and bonus point programs.
A preference point is given to an applicant
each time he applies and is not drawn. The
tags are given to the applicants who have the
most points. Colorado and Wyoming both
use preference points
A bonus point is given to an applicant each
time he applies and is not drawn. For each
bonus point an applicant has, he receives
an additional application. In other words, if
an applicant has 2 bonus points, he would
receive 3 chances of drawing the tag he
applies for. Some states like AZ, NV, and
UT require an applicant to buy a General
Hunting License in order to get the Bonus
Point. The big advantage of a bonus point
system is that you can draw at any time; you
are not required to have the most points.
Even on years that you do not want to hunt,
we strongly recommend that you apply
“point only” where it is available. All states
are different but you will lose your points
if you do not apply within their given time
frame (1 to 4 years).
Apply For Most
Primitive Weapon
If you hunt with different weapons,
consider applying with your most primitive
choice. Draw rates and success rates are
usually tied to weapon choices. Rifle tags
are the hardest to draw, muzzleloader
next, then archery is usually the easiest to
draw. Rifle hunts have the highest success
rates with archery the lowest success.
Muzzleloaders, especially with the new
in-line muzzleloaders and use of scopes by
most states, have a success rate that equals
rifles on most hunts today. Professional
Licensing Service will help you with the
applications by weapon choice, to insure you
get the best odds.

world of trophy hunting.

While Dall Sheep Tags can still be purchased over the counter, some of the best Trophy areas with reasonable priced hunts
are found in the special drawing only areas. Through our close relationship with several highly regarded outfitters we are
kept updated on which specific areas are producing not only the biggest sheep, but the best chances of success for drawing
and harvest. The guided hunt cost is
$10,000 plus $2,000 kill fee, which
includes meals, air-charters, field
trophy care and guide fee. You are
responsible for getting to Anchorage
or Fairbanks, car rental, and tag fees.
Last year our hunters were 100% successful in taking large full curl rams.
Applications are due early December, and we must have a signed hunt
agreement (sent to you by USO) in
your file before we can even make
your application. Call us for more

CHECK THE STATEMENT THAT BEST PERTAINS TO YOUR EXPECTATIONS:
Remember, all our hunts are trophy areas, but this is still chance hunting and luck plays a big part in the results.
A - q I am looking for the biggest bull/buck/ram that exists in a state. I have taken several bull/buck/rams
and have no desire to harvest anything but a real monster even if it means seeing fewer animals, less
success and tougher draw odds.
B - qI am looking for a high harvest success rate on a mature bull/buck/ram with a possibility of a
monster. I would accept the most difficult draw odd in order to have that high success on a
mature bull/buck/ram.
C - q I have hunted several times in places like Colorado, and have yet to be successful on some
thing I could be proud of. I am not necessarily looking for a monster, but a good chance at
something respectable with a good chance of being drawn.

For a taste of Africa without the hassle of overseas travel, come to New
Mexico for an Oryx (Gemsbok) hunt. These are two day hunts with nearly
100% success. You’ll likely see a hundred or more Oryx for an exciting yet
challenging hunt. The hunt cost is $1,450.00 (plus your Tag) which includes
lodging, meals, transportation during the hunt, one on one guide, and meat/
trophy care. This is a draw Tag that requires the application be sent early
February, so don’t delay.
OLD MEXICO • MULE DEER HUNTS
Looking for a huge Mule Deer?
Tired of waiting to draw a Tag?
Look no further. They’re in Old
Mexico on our 130,000 acre ranch.
The 5-day World Class hunt includes airport pick-up, one on one
guide, lodging, meals and meat/trophy care. The hunt cost is $4,000.00
plus permits with a $3,500.00 fee
on successfully harvesting a deer.
Non-hunting guests are welcome
for $150.00 a day. Camp is near
Kino Bay that has great shopping
and scenery. Call for hunt dates,
but basically they’re during the rut
16 in the month of January.

TROPHY/WORLD CLASS RIFLE ELK HUNTS
Dates: Trophy Class - October, November & December
Dates: World Class - First Two Weeks in October
Hunt Costs: Trophy Class - $6,950 • World Class - $8,450
Our trophy Elk Hunts take place on private land--New Mexico ranches that
are leased to and managed by United States Outfitters to provide tremendous
hunt quality and success. Success rates usually run 75 to 80 percent on trophy 5
and 6 point bulls. These hunts begin with bugling October hunts and run into
late season November and December.
For the hunter looking for the ultimate in trophy elk hunting, we offer a very
limited number of World Class hunts on very special ranches with even tighter
management policies. Success rates are normally 90 to 95 percent and usually
produce bulls from 300 to 350 B+C points.

TROPHY CLASS MUZZLELOADER ELK HUNTS
Dates: October • Hunt Costs: $6,950
Because of the quality management on our New Mexico private ranches,
nearly all the bulls taken are mature animals.
So, you’ve never hunted with a muzzleloader before? Don’t let that stop you
from the enjoyment of hunting with a primitive weapon. With the advantage
of using scopes, the new in-line guns and our ability to get you to within 100
yards, success runs as high as our rifle hunts. These private ranches are located
in an area called “primitive weapon units,” so no centerfire rifle hunting is allowed. This enables United States Outfitters’ muzzleloader clients to harvest
more record class bulls than any other outfitter. Again, ask someone who has
been there.

There is nothing like hunting bugling bulls with a bow, up close and personal. Ask
someone who has been there. As with any successful hunt, there are ingredients for
that success. First, the private New Mexico Ranches; and second, the quality and
knowledge of the guides you hunt with. It may sound like we’re bragging -- and we
are -- because we have the type of country and guides that deserve to be bragged
about. Nothing else can explain our ability to harvest some great Trophy Class Bulls
each year. Our crews work throughout the summer on our private accommodations
and gear to have them ready for you in the fall. Our hunting guides, both men and
women, are all expert bow and rifle hunters. USO’s specialty is archery hunting,
which requires skilled guides who know how to get you in close for a shot. We
believe in keeping the same guides year after year, which benefits our hunters. Our
overall success rate is around 35 to 40 percent on record-class bulls.

love to hunt, you don’t need to spend another hunting season sitting around getting cabin fever. Most states offer
special seasons for all physically challenged hunters. With
the proper medical documentation, our licensing service can
apply you for some exciting hunts. Each state has different
requirements and regulations for these types of hunts so give
us a call and we will get you set up. Our Mobility Impaired
