Meet Our Guides!

I have been hunting in Arizona for 30 years with the last 22 being in the Rim Country. After an enlistment in the Marines, I have spent most of my adult life living and working in the outdoors. That time has included hunting, guiding, and introducing young people to the outdoors as the director of a kids camp. The opportunity to guide and share knowledge of the country and animals that have taught me so much, and the privilege of being a part of a successful hunt, is one of the greatest rewards of life. I have a heart for working with first time hunters, veterans, kids, the disabled, and seeing all of their dreams come true in the mountains.

I am a fourth generation houndsman. My Grandpa Bill and my Father, Brian Marshall, taught me everything I know about bear and lion hunting. I am carrying on their legacy and preparing the next generation to have the same passion for hunting as our family does.

Amber is a vital part of the Canyon Ridge Guides. The amount of energy and joy that Amber and her team of dogs bring to the team cannot be understated, she is a true professional. 

Founder of Canyon Ridge Guides, Duane has been hunting Rim Country his entire life. His knowledge of the country he hunts, and his innate understanding of animals, is as immense as the land these animals roam. Duane's passion for his dogs, and the pursuit for bear and lion, along with the joy of seeing a successful hunt, make him one of the hardest working and most self-sacrificing guides I have ever hunted with.
