About Us

John Howell grew up hunting and fishing on his family ranch in Nebraska. He has always had a passion for the outdoors and sports, especially football. While attending Colorado State University on a football scholarship John continued his involvement with the family ranch as his love for the outdoors grew stronger.

Joe Jurevicius grew up near Cleveland on the shores of Lake Erie. Fishing for perch, steelhead and walleye became second nature to him. Joe's true love though is his passion for hunting. Whether scouting for game along the Dismal River or hunting the scenic terrain of Africa, Canada or the United States, Joe has turned his need to hunt into an obsession.

2010 Spring Hunts

posted May 12th, 2010 by John

We just finished up a fantastic 2010 spring hunt at Dismal River Outfitters!  Our good friends Robin Poluch, and his wife Alice Poluchova, who is the President of CZ-USA, joined us last week for our first ever Texas Dall Sheep hunt.  These beautiful white sheep are one of our newest exotics at DRO.  Dirt King, host of Hunting University, and his cameraman LJ Planer, also joined us to film the hunt for an upcoming episode of Hunting University.  Both Alice and Dirt were fortunate enough to each take one of these huge Texas Dalls.

The Texas Dall Sheep originated in Texas in the 1960′s on the YO Ranch.  A successful cross between a Rambouillet ram and a Mouflon ewe created this white shedding sheep now known as the Texas Dall.  These sheep can grow horns that weigh up to 30 lbs which is more than all the bones in their body combined.  We are really excited about the opportunity to offer trophy Texas Dall sheep at Dismal River Outfitters!

Thanks to Alice, Robin, Dirt, LJ, and all my great staff at DRO for making this a terrific hunt!

2009 Hunting Season

posted February 23rd, 2010 by John

I wanted to take the time to thank each and every one of you for a fantastic 2009 season!  We finally finished up our hunts and closed down shop for the year on December 9th.  I have to admit after hunting 83 of the past 102 days I went back home to Colorado and did nothing but relax and enjoy the family.  I said relax but with a 10, 7, and 4 year old it’s anything but relaxing.  The last three weeks have been filled with indoor soccer, basketball, football, wrestling tournaments, homework, Christmas shopping, and in-laws.  Believe it or not I’m ready to go back to gutting buffalo!  I tell my wife sob stories about times when we’ve had to hunt, dress, skin, cape, and butcher three buffalo and three elk in two days.  She just laughs and says I couldn’t hang with her on my best day.  She’s right! read more »
