    We were able to see a large group big horn sheep right next to the backwoods road that Haeli our guide found for us. The off road petroglyphs were awesome! She was informative, pleasant and made the tour very worthwhile. Not all tours find wild life as we did with a pack of wolves but a good guide is really a requirement.

    We had an incredible day with Haeli on the Grand Teton and Petroglyph tour. Haeli kept us engaged and gave us great information the entire trip. It was a fairly long drive to get to the Native Amercian Petroglyphs but we stopped several times for wildlife. She had a notification from a colleague that they had spotted some wolves and we were lucky enough to be able to catch a glimpse of them. We also found big horn sheep and others! It was a great day! On another note- BrushBuck was a dream to work with. They obviously work well together as a team. They nearly always answered the phone/email right away and answered all of my questions when making the decision. I will use them in the future.

    Wow! We just returned from our tour with Neil, and cannot recommend it enough. This has been one of the most well run tours we have ever done. I received a call last week from Brushback confirming the tour, and explaining what to expect (including weather and what animals we might see). Neil arrived right on time, and was such a gracious, knowledgeable guide. He is obviously passionate about the animals, and was able to spot an eagle, bison, moose, elk, deer, and bighorn sheep. He was personable and provided information in such a fun way. Hiking back to see the petroglyphs was amazing, and something we never would have found on our own. We have done many tours all over the world, and can without a doubt say this is one of the best we have ever done. I rarely write a review immediately after returning, but this tour deserved five stars (and he never even mentioned writing a review which makes it better in my opinion). If you ever come to Jackson, this is a cannot miss!

    My family spent a week in Jackson, WY and had a wonderful time; but, the adventure day we spent with Neil (our guide) and Brushbuck was hands down the best day. Neil picked us up at our condo and made sure that we were dressed appropriately for both the weather and the adventure. I definitely recommend layers as if all goes well you will be standing outside the vehicle to enjoy the animals and views. I was endlessly impressed by Neil's ability to spot animals and keep up a wide ranging conversation touching on points of interest, wildlife management, and the history of the area. We saw moose, wolves, coyote, big horn sheep, a bald eagle, mule deer, and bison. It was a full day and we enjoyed every second.

    Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. In addition to seeing many interesting sites, we learned quite a bit as well. Our guide even told us about other places we should go after our 8 hour tour, which we did and saw even more that we wouldn’t have found on our own. This was the best day of our 7 day trip.

    Was in Jackson again for New Year's weekend recently. Always look forward to joining Brushbuck on a tour. This time I did two -- first a four hour dusk Grand Teton trip -- with guide Kari. Was a great trip -- saw an enormous amount of wildlife and our guide was able to spot a wolf pack through the spotting scope. A tough thing to find in the Tetons compared to Yellowstone. Kari was a very enthusiastic about her job and gave great information on the wildlife and local area. Also had a chance to go on the Native American Petroglyph Tour with guide Jacklyn. What a great and different trip -- a chance to see real history many don't know about in the area. The petroglyphs from centuries ago in nearby DuBois, Wyoming are an amazing site. The history and information provided by Jacklyn on this trip was first rate - certainly learned a lot about the native American culture and lifestyle that was great background and perspective as we toured the area where the Petroglyphs are located. Also spent several hours in Grand Teton National Park -- where Jacklyn located all sorts of wildlife -- including 25+ moose, multiple fox sightings, bison, elk, big horn sheep, and eagles both golden and bald. Was an awesome trip that I would highly recommend. Thanks again to Brushbuck for a great time,
