Roe Outfitters

Great experience! My dad and I go hunting/​fishing once a year (more if we can manage it), and thus have lots of experience with guided trips. Darren knows his stuff, had access to lots of great hunting grounds, and was really fun to be around. He (and Tom, his assistant) were well prepared for both our duck hunt and our 2 days of hunting Mountain and Valley Quail. The dogs were well trained, the scenery was beautiful, and the hunt was fun.
I felt that Roe Outfitters was a good choice for our trip, and will hopefully be able to get away to do some fly fishing soon!

Daren the owner of Roe Outfitters is not a man of his word. He guarantees when he takes people out to hunt on your property for the ground squirrels that if any damage occurs such as bullet holes in your pipes, or any irrigation equipment it will be taken care of immediately. I had to pay for the bullet hole damage myself from his shooters, and when i informed him of the damage his response was WOW.
He even had been caught on the property without prior permission hunting with his clients. When i approached him about some kind of consideration for me alloying him to hunt my property i.e. a fishing trip etc. he was reluctant to do so, but after pursuing it he finally said ok. So when i contacted him to ask when the fishing trip would happen it was a different story all together. Bottom line the Fishing trip promised by Mr. Roe NEVER HAPPENED… VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HIS CONDUCT NOT BUSINESS LIKE AT ALL… WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HIS SERVICES…

My wife purchased a gift certificate for me for a one-​day waterfowl hunting trip with Roe Outfitters. I waited over a year to book the trip, and even though my gift certificate expired after one year, they honored it without hesitation.
I booked a trip for mid-​January towards the tail end of the season. Unfortunately, by the time my trip rolled around, Klamath Falls had been in a deep freeze for several weeks. The day of the hunt it was –2 degrees. Not only did we not shoot anything, we maybe saw 12 geese the entire day, which was disappointing to say the least especially since it was my first time out. To their credit, Darren and his associate guide Rich really tried hard to get us to the birds, but they just weren’t there.
At the end of the day, Darren was extremely apologetic, and offered a comped day trip to both myself and my hunting partner to make up for our bad luck. I did not expect this at all, as I understand that sometimes the birds just don’t fly and luck is all a part of the sport.
I booked the make-​up trip for the last weekend of the season. We had a fairly large group and I was paired up with Rich most of the time, which was great because he was a blast to hunt with, and very knowledgeable as well. The birds were in the air and Darren had us right in the fly zone. Our group shot several dozen snow geese, speckled belly geese, and I even shot a rare blue phase snow goose. I couldn’t have imagined a better trip. Not only do I now have a passion for the sport, but I will gladly make the 3+ hour drive down to Klamath Falls just to hunt with Darren and Rich. Note, this is not a luxury guide service. You will be asked to get up really early, setup decoys, haul gear, assist the guides, handle your own equipment, know what you are doing, etc. This was great for me as a novice because I got to learn a lot about the process instead of just being handed a gun and told when to shoot. If you want a guide who holds your hand and has hot chocolate waiting for you in the blind, look elsewhere, but if you want professionals who know that they are doing, book with Roe.
Roe Outfitters doesn’t earn five stars because they gave me a free hunting trip, they earn five stars because they are experienced, knowledgeable, and are willing to take care of their clients. I look forward to many more successful hunting trips with Roe Outfitters. Thanks again Darren, Rich, and Jennifer.

We shot ducks and geese at Klamath refuge with Mr. Roe. He did show up promptly and to be fair, it did freeze overnight, which made the hunting challenging. This is NOT a review about the hunting success, since that is always subject to issues that are often beyond the guide’s control.
However, Mr. Roe was not very friendly, seemed more interested in getting us out and back as quickly as possible and getting paid in full. We had two experienced hunters and one novice with us and Mr. Roe was just not very friendly and actually ridiculed a mistake by the novice hunter (dropped some shells in the boat, making a loud noise that scared some geese away). Overall, just not a positive experience. Other guide services we have used were more congenial, more encouraging, teaching and providing local hunting tips (we were visiting from California).
We hardly shot any birds, but again, that’s not all Mr. Roe’s fault. But when we left the hunt, I was hoping that we would get some sort of consideration, something like «Come on back up and get 10% off your next hunt since this one was not that good for you» — something to leave us with a positive taste in our mouth. Didn’t happen.
Would not recommend. There’s plenty of better services available… without the attitude.
