About Nichols Guiding Service

My name is Jarred Nichols, owner and operator of Nichols Guiding Service. I started the dream of this operation while I was a young boy following my dad up and down the mountains of Arizona. I was very fortunate to have a dad that involved me in nearly every hunting trip. It didn't take long before the first seed was planted and my dream turned into reality and we started the outfitting service together.

Nichols Guiding Service is a full time year round outfitting and guiding service in the state of Arizona. We are family owned and operated. We are fully licensed, insured and permitted to guide on over 11 million acres throughout the state.

We are very fortunate to have a crew of guides that are highly qualified and are dedicated to giving each and every hunter the best chance of a successful hunt. All of our guides are family and friends who are devoted in helping every one in camp be successful and ensuring that the hunt is enjoyable and memorable.

We believe that there are many ways to make a hunt successful. One of the most important things is scouting. Prior to each and every hunt we will have sometimes up to several weeks involved into scouting. When you are dealing with different times of the season, is it very important to know the locations of the areas that are away from pressure and the areas that are unfamiliar to most hunters. Depending on the game being hunted, determines the area and type of scouting which is needed.

Over the years we have had the pleasure of having many wonderful guests in our camps, which has in turn resulted in many great friendships. The experience of our clients ranges from those who are coming out on their very first big game hunt to the seasoned hunter that simply does not have the time to scout. We understand the importance of relying on your outfitter. We want to make sure that at the end of your hunt, you are confident that you have made the right decision. We look forward to each new season and hope to have you in camp!
