Hi, I am Sara Brandenburg. I am fifteen years old, and I have completed my first sheep hunt with Dustin, and I am going on another adventure with him in nine days, for my Desert Sheep in Mexico.   I am on a quest for my North American Grand Slam. I got my Dall Sheep in Alaska this September with another outfitter, and I picked Dustin to be my guide for my Big Horn Sheep. Our next hunt is in January for my Desert Sheep, and our fourth and final hunt will be in August, for my Stone Sheep. Dustin will be my guide of choice for these three hunts.   Dustin, Kent, Dad, and I were on a adventure for a Rocky Mountain Big Horn in British Columbia. It was a ten day backpack hunt, in October. While we were hiking into camp, Dustin kept me entertained and encouraged all the way! The next morning we awoke to fog, and to our dismay it was foggy for the next three straight days. But that did not stop Dustin!   He kept looking for signs of sunshine, and sheep. In the meantime, he told me stories and kept my spirits high. At the very end of the fourth day, we spotted three rams, and decided no matter what, we were going after them!  Early on the fifth day, we went after those rams, to see if one was legal in size. The entire way Dustin kept me motivated; he taught me to never give up, and to always push myself. Well, I am sure glad that he did, my reward was a full curl ram!   Dustin is a terrific guide, and I highly, highly recommend him!  He is one of those people when you first meet him, you can't help but to like him. He's a good guide because he tends to all of your needs. He really does care about all of your necessities.  He's tough, knowledgeable, determined, patient, caring, devoted, and most importantly, he's awesome! Dustin helped me not to get discouraged by the weather, and things that were out of our control. We were well prepared for our hunt, thanks to Dustin's organization.   Not only were we well prepared, but Dustin took some outstanding photographs of my hunt, and up-close video of my shot as well!  100% AWESOME! That's why I've chosen Dustin to guide my next 2 hunts! Good times, man! --Sara Brandenburg (Picture below)   We met Dustin Roe in May, 2007. He assisted with taking two huge grizzly bears. A dad-daughter combination in which our daughter, Katey shot a record book grizzly 24 5/8 inch skull. Dustin convinced me to hunt bighorn sheep with him later that year. He got the buckle for the largest sheep taken in British Columbia that year. A beautiful 177 ram. What followed was a super-human effort on Dustin's part. His pack was heavier than his own body weight. My pack was stuffed too, and we had 9 1/2 miles to hike out. No trail, deadfalls, cliffs, swamps, but we had a heck of a ram, and we each had a big smile. We sheep hunters are a strange bunch. Dustin has incredible eyes, and he is tenacious. He is small in stature but huge in heart, and ability.  I have recommended him to other hunters on numerous occasions and he has always delivered. He has a knack for finding animals and in our situation, he has a knack for finding record book animals. Our 15 year old daughter recently took a dandy bighorn ram in October 2009. Dustin has organized and will participate in three out of the four sheep hunts for Sara Rose to obtain her Grand Slam. Dustin will help her become the youngest woman in the world to get her Grand Slam. He enjoys what he is doing, and he is good at it. Great Memories,   -Rod Brandenburg (Picture below) "As a Television Show Host on Outdoor Channel, I have been afforded the opportunity to hunt with a variety of Mountain Guides across the US and Canada. Without exception, Dustin Roe is the most motivated, hard working and talented guide I've ever hunted with! He understands what it takes to get the job done under extreme conditions. I would be confident in Dustin's guiding abilities no matter what species of animal I chose to pursue!" Joe Thomas Outdoor Channel TV Host (Picture below)   “Don’t let Dustin’s small stature fool you.  Pound for pound, I guarantee you he is one of the toughest and hardest working guides in the business.  I have hunted with Dustin many times and look forward to the opportunity to hunt some different areas and species with him in the near future. You won’t find another guide who wants his clients to succeed more than Dustin Roe!” Matt Comment Pennsylvania (Picture below)   “Just wanted to drop you a line and tell you how much I enjoyed hunting with you.  One of my greatest fears when going on a guided hunt is my fear of ending up assigned to a guide that I don’t like, or one that is not willing to hunt hard with me.  Five minutes after meeting you I knew I was  with the right guide.  From the moment we stepped off the charter  flight your positive attitude grabbed me and made me feel comfortable.  I just knew we were going to get our chance if we stayed with you and listened to your directions.   Your attention to detail, enthusiasm,  and determination, along with your positive personality, helped us have a great hunt.  I never saw in your face, or in the way you acted, one ounce of negativity. It seemed you were always saying, “We’ll go up this canyon and there will be a huge bull there for you.”  Or, “Let’s build a fire and dry out and then we’ll kill our bull”. Every time we stopped and took a break you were glassing, looking, hoping to find that big bull.  You never gave up and in the end you made it all happen!   Part of the fun of going on a hunt like this is all the planning that has to take place.  I know we  called you, emailed you, and just plain bothered you more than most  hunters, but you never seemed to mind, in fact you encouraged the questions  and made it fun to communicate with you.  This actually added to  the excitement of the hunt.  We simply couldn’t wait to leave on the hunt and meet you.   I have to tell you I was at first worried  about your age.  I couldn’t understand how a guide so young could handle us “mature” guys, but you certainly did.  I have always felt I could keep up with most guys and prided myself in being able  to walk, climb, and hunt with the best of them.  Well, I’m here  to say you can walk and hunt me into the ground.  The good thing  is you never did.  You set the pace on my terms without having  to stop and ask me and I appreciated that.  After a couple days  I knew you could walk me into the ground if you wanted to, but you never  made me feel uncomfortable.   I think the best part of hunting with  you is your personality.  You were just plain fun to be with.  To me the hunt isn’t just about killing an animal, it is about the experience you have.  Do you enjoy the people you are with, are  you laughing, eating well, seeing pretty country, just having fun.   With you from the very beginning we were like old friends.  Even  today at least once a day I use your line, “toughen up cupcake” and it makes me laugh.  These are memories that last a lifetime.   Last but certainly not least, you took us to an area with tons of quality animals and gave Joe and I the chance  to harvest great bulls.  This was because of you, your research, and advanced scouting.  This all goes into the making of a great hunt.  You made a great hunt for us, and for that we are indebted  to you.   In the future, should you need to use  my name for a reference please feel free to do so, it would be my privilege  to speak to anyone about you and your operation, we are after all now friends!!!! Sincerely Gerry Addison (Picture below)   After hosting the "Explorers Big Game Journal” television program for the past 6 years I have had the opportunity to hunt with a pile of outfitters and their guides. I really do my homework and almost all of them have turned out great.   However every once in a while you come across one who is a cut above the rest and that one is Dustin Roe. I had the pleasure of hunting Stone Sheep with Dustin and what a professional he turned out to be. Out of all the outstanding qualities as a guide he possessed I found that his desire for his client to harvest a truly spectacular animal out weighed them all.   From the minute we got off the plane Dustin was consumed with making sure that we were successful. Whether it was insisting we spent enough time glassing an area or pushing us to our limit to insure we made it to the top of a ridge for a better look he never missed a beat.   It is my recommendation that if you are looking for someone to hunt with that will give it all he's got to see that you hang a trophy on your wall then take it from me, a guy who hunts for a living, you better make sure you book a hunt with Dustin.      Kurt Howard   Host/Field Editor/Producer   "Explorers Big Game Journal"   Shiloh Outdoor Productions (Picture below) Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed hunting with you, what a great experience it was fulfilling my dream to hunt and harvest a Bison. I have been highly recommending your hunt to all my friends since getting home, some of these friends will no doubt be hunting with you in the next couple of years. This is one of those hunts I would love to do that hunt every year, the country was gorgeous, there was plenty of animals and you run a first class hunt. A bonus was how good the Bison meat is, it is some of the best wild meat I have ever had so I am glad we decided to drive up in order to bring it all home. My Bison officially scored 117 0/8” which places it at #5 in current P&Y records, this was just icing on one of the best hunts I have ever been on. Ron Rockwell, Colorado (Picture below) Dustin,   Your idea of guiding hunts for different species, anywhere and everywhere for your clients sounds like a heck of a good idea.  I had a great time Bighorn hunting with you.  The Ram on the wall reminds me everyday! As I told you during the hunt…. it’s my vacation.  I want to harvest a nice animal, but I want to have a good time.  I’m willing to work hard and put in the effort and you certainly put that to the test.  I’ve recommended you to several people who are serious about hunting. I’m willing to put my name on the line recommending you because of the way you handled yourself.  Intelligent, diligent, hard working, and fun are some of the words I used to describe your demeanor. Good luck with your new venture, and I’ll be calling you down the line to book another hunt…….. somewhere. Mike Kehoe Eugene, Oregon (Picture below)   My brother Cy went on a successful stone sheep hunt in BC. When he returned he was constantly saying Dustin this, Dustin that, Dustin, Dustin, Dustin, that’s all I kept hearing.  Cy told me that I should go on a hunt with Dustin as he is an avid archery hunter like me. Hearing all of this, I had to talk to this Dustin guy. After several phone calls and emails, we came up with a game plan and a time of the year I would go and meet the so called young guiding “Superman”.   In September I arrived in base camp for my Canadian Moose hunt and finally met Dustin face to face.  He has a great personality and we were off talking and discussing the game plan. Even when I got my bow out to test shoot, Dustin joined me with his bow.   To make a great long story short, Dustin lived up to and passed my expectation.  He worked very hard and long and had more confidence in me than I had in myself.  He never left me behind and let me set the pace. And no, Dustin cannot fly like Superman, but a bet he could hike him to death!   Dustin led me to have the very best outdoor experience I have ever had.  On my first real hunting day I killed a 208 inch Gross Bull with my bow!  The trip not only let me learn new hunting views and techniques, but also let me learn more about myself. I will definitely be “Extreme hunting” with Dustin again soon! Mike Rossi Upstate New York (Picture below) "Having hunted many places around the world and taken the North American 28 with my bow in hand, I have had the chance to hunt with a lot of great guides. I have hunted with Dustin in BC for Bison and took a great P&Y Bull and in the Yukon twice for Stone Sheep. From my experiences with him, there is no doubt he will go the extra mile and "Do What It Takes" to make your hunt the best it could be. In 2009 he and I took an outstanding 38 ½ inch Fannin Ram scoring near 160 at only 19 yards. The band of 5 never even knew we were there! I’d suggest If You Bow hunters want to have Multiple Bowgasams, I recommend you hunt with Dustin Roe and Backcountry BC and Beyond! Tom Hoffman - Albany , New York (Picture below)  I had the opportunity to hunt Stone Sheep with Dustin Roe completing my first Grand Slam. Although the hunt was difficult due to some tough weather and a tight time schedule, Dustin worked extra hard and remained positive despite all the adversity we encountered. Dustin is a guide that is wise beyond his years and he has an incredible positive “can do” attitude that is invaluable on any mountain hunt. I would highly recommend hunting with Dustin for any species and I very much look forward to our next hunt together. Jim Winjum - MT President, Kenetrek Boots (Picture below) The main thought and impression I am left with after my Bighorn hunt is that there aren't two harder working guides in the business. Sure, there are other areas with sheep and are beautifully rugged and game rich such as Backcountry BC's areas. But, I challenge you to find two guides that can or will work as hard as Dustin Roe and Kent Mckenzie. Before my hunt I noticed Dustins slogan "Do what it takes" and thought little about it. But, "Do what it takes" is what they live by - they always had a positive attitude, they will never quit or give up. Hank Wright ,TN (Picture below) Dustin Roe of Backcountry BC and Beyond is a young hunting guide with more drive and experience of someone twice his age. I have hunted in Alaska twice for Dalls and in Northern BC for moose and many times in the lower 48 for elk and can say Dustin has a top notch operation, he gets the job done! Dustin had my Stone located the day before I arrived, an eight mile hike back into the wilderness and a tough climb up the mountain was all it took for me to get my half slam. I look forward to hunting again with Dustin for my Rocky Mountain Bighorn in the future. Steve Crandell, VA (Picture below) " I hunted with Dustin Roe in the NWT in July 2009 for Dall sheep. He has to be one of the best bowhunting guides I have ever had the pleasure to hunt with. He had us on sheep and patterning them immediately and set me up perfectly for a shot with a bow. Dustin can pack more than most guides and took me safely through the crazy stuff. I will and am going hunting again with him due to his attitude and professionalism." Murray Fain British Columbia (Picture below) "When I said I was going to hunt with him again... I did, Desert sheep Mexico January 2010 and here is what we got at 30 yards!  I am now going Stone Sheep hunting with him in October!" Murray Fain British Columbia (Picture below)
