Guides
Robert Miller and Ranger
Robert was born and raised in New York, and attended college in Massachusetts where he met his wife, Maureen. After a three-decade career on Wall Street and small business ownership, Robert and his family started Feathered Elk Ranch to share their love of the outdoors with family and friends. Upland bird hunting since his youth, Robert also enjoys hiking, scuba diving and spending time with his dogs. Robert and Ranger look forward to guiding you on an upcoming hunt.
Thomas Miller and Moose
Thomas grew up in New York and attended Colorado State University, studying Natural Resource Recreation and Tourism. Since graduating CSU, Thomas has called Colorado home. He is an avid outdoorsman, competitive shotgun shooter and scuba diver. When not at the ranch guiding upland bird hunts or providing shotgun instruction, you can typically find Thomas in a duck blind with his hunting companion Moose.
Rick Meoli and Ruby
After a 40 year career as a professional photographer, Rick’s love for sporting dogs and upland hunting has brought him right where he was meant to be. Living in the mountains of Steamboat Springs, Colorado and working with Feathered Elk Ranch has been a great life experience. Rick looks forward to guiding you on your next upland hunt.
Greg Armstrong and Bridger
Raised in Michigan, Greg discovered his passion for hunting at just 12 years old, and it’s been a lifelong pursuit ever since. After a 40-year career in broadcasting, with over 25 years spent in Colorado, Greg has made Routt County his home. Here, he enjoys the endless opportunities to embrace the camaraderie and excitement of hunting and other outdoor adventures. For Greg, every day in the field is a great day.
David M. Smith Jr. and Dagny
In the fall of 1996, David traded the hustle of San Antonio for the allure of Steamboat’s snow-covered peaks, chasing the dream of a ski bum’s life. One season was the plan—just a brief escape from a thriving career in the automotive world. But the mountains had other ideas. Decades later, he’s still here, calling Steamboat home and carving out a life as enduring as the ridges that surround it.
Today, you’ll often find David behind the counter at our local gun store, sharing his expertise and easy camaraderie. His passions are as varied as the seasons—upland hunting, competitive pistol shooting, and lending a hand to ranchers in their battle against ground squirrels.
With Dagny by his side, David is ready to guide you into the heart of the hunt, where every step holds the promise of a story worth telling.
