“Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit.”

EDWARD ABBEY

“TJ and Cali…truly made a dream come true for me. Their exceptional hospitality and dedication far outmatched other guides/outfitters I have used in the past and enabled me to take a great ram in this hunt-of-a-lifetime. They provided me with the regional expert guide who knew more about the area and its sheep than anyone in the country. Being a little older than most hunters are, they gracefully accommodated me in every way possible to maximize my chances to take a ram in some of the most rugged mountains of Colorado. Finally, I have never met more warm, caring, and friendly people whose consistently positive and cheerful attitude was so greatly appreciated.”

MICHAEL, SEPTEMBER 2018

TJ CAMPAGNOLA

I was born in Denver, Colorado – a 5th generation Coloradan. I grew up on a small ranch outside of Larkspur, CO. Hunting and fishing were always a way of life for me and my family. Providing not only food for the table, but also quality time together as a family. I moved to Southwest Colorado in 2003 and have worked as a hunting and fishing guide ever since. After meeting my wife-to-be and enjoying many memorable trips, it became our dream to have our own outfitting business. Our dream came true this year when we acquired our Forest Service Permits and started East Creek Outfitters.

CALI CAMPAGNOLA

I was born & raised in the Texas panhandle and grew up on a horse and cattle ranch. I came to Colorado when I was 19, in 2006, to work as a wrangler at The Wit’s End Guest Ranch in Vallecito. This is where I met TJ. He was a fishing guide there. Our love for horses, fishing and the outdoors provided many adventurous experiences during our courtship of three years before we tied the knot in May of 2009. I am truly blessed to have had the courage to come to Colorado and find the loves of my life!
