About Nicky


Nicky Hoffman has spent over 30 years roaming the backcountry of the Rocky Mountains. What began as boyhood weekends tracking whitetail with his father grew into a lifelong devotion to the land, the seasons, and the ancient rhythm of the hunt.

He believes hunting is more than a pursuit — it's a way of seeing the world. Every ridge line tells a story. Every wind shift carries a lesson. Nicky has guided dozens of hunters through elk and mule deer country, always with an emphasis on fair chase, conservation, and respect for the animal.

When he's not in the field, you'll find him at the cabin, tending gear, studying maps, or passing on what he knows to the next generation.

The Camp


Hunting camp at dusk

Basecamp at the Tree Line

Nestled at 9,200 feet in the San Juan range, Nicky's camp is the real thing — canvas tents, a stone fire ring, and the kind of quiet you can't find anywhere else. The stove is lit before dawn. Coffee brews while boots are laced. By the time the ridge catches first light, the party is already glassing.

Every camp carries the same essentials:

  • Canvas wall tent with wood stove
  • Hand-drawn maps and a compass older than GPS
  • Cast-iron cookware and field-dressed game recipes
  • Binoculars that have seen three decades of dawns
  • Stories told louder as the fire burns lower

Trophy Room


Memories Mounted on Wood

Step into the cabin and you'll find yourself surrounded by decades of hard-won memories. Every mount on the wall has a story — the weather, the stalk, the shot, the pack-out. These aren't just trophies; they're chapters in a life lived outdoors.

From the 6×6 bull elk taken in a late-season snowstorm to the pronghorn that demanded a 400-yard belly crawl across open sagebrush, each mount carries the weight of the experience behind it.
