Our goal here at Catch 'Em Outfitters is to preserve our heritage of hunting and help you pass it on to the next generation and for generations to come. Hi. My name is Jasen Mead. I am a husband and a father of two. Growing up I have fond memories of my father running hounds, and listening to the stories my grandfather told of all night coon hunts. For me hunting has always been a family affair and a great escape in this age of electronics. It gives us an opportunity to get back to nature without all of the distractions and enjoy each other on a personal level during an exciting hunt. I have been running hounds for the last ten years, and guiding hunts for the last four years locally in beautiful Northern California. This year I have decided to reach out beyond our local community and offer hunts over the web. It is my greatest joy to share these memories that last for a lifetime with people who may not have had the opportunity to hunt with hounds, take a beautiful bear, call in a strutting gobbler, stalk a enormous hog, or see a magnificent bobcat for the first time. We book bear, bobcat, hog, turkey, fox and raccoon hunts at rock bottom prices.

"Catch 'Em Outfitters is a hunting guide service, and because of the extraordinary work of its owner, Jasen Mead, I brought home over 100 pounds of wild pig meat. I chose Catch 'Em because of Jasen's excitement to take a novice hunter out, and his willingness to let me use his rifles. I've hunted birds before, but for my first wild boar hunt, it was important for me to go with someone who was interested in teaching. Additionally, he encouraged my wife to come along as a non-hunter, and she ended up gutting the animals. He offered my choice of spot and stalk hunting -- where one tries to locate hogs with binoculars and local knowledge of where they might be feeding and bedding down -- or fair chase -- using well-trained dogs to find, flush out, and potentially hold down pigs. During my hunt, I had opportunities to fire at large boars using both methods. Catch 'Em offered as many as two morning hunts and one evening hunt for me to get a pig. As a novice, it took me all three times, but Jasen and his assistant, Ron Stone (who is also a fishing guide) never lost enthusiasm, and I'm pretty sure they stayed out longer and worked harder because they were so determined for me to have a successful first hunt. However, they were very clear in their understanding of the law, and had a firm set of ethics around hunting and conservation in general, so I felt comfortable that we were always doing the right thing from a variety of different perspectives. Bear hunting is Jasen's primary guiding business, and apparently his favorite type of hunt, but you'd never know it by the way he threw himself into my pig hunt. It's clear he just loves hunting, and teaching new people. Obviously, much of the preparation for a hunt like this falls on you: taking the hunters safety class, learning to handle firearms safely and accurately, getting all your documents in order (I bought two pig tags, and was glad I did because I used them both), and being prepared to run full-speed through ankle-deep mud in head-high tule marshes. Finding a good hunting guide is definitely chief among those set of preparations, and Catch 'Em totally delivered for me."
