When those who know Corey think of him, they also think of hunting. Corey grew up in the panhandle of Texas, not far from the New Mexico State line. He began guiding in New Mexico at 18 years old. He shared the beginnings of his guide career with a career in deep sea commercial diving for 13 years. He spent half of his time in the ocean off the shores of Louisiana, and the other half in the mountains and plains of New Mexico. Since Corey’s true passion is with hunting, he has committed to guiding full time. Corey credits Jack Huntley for igniting his love for hunting and conservation. Corey puts herd control and management at the top of his priority list. He is a true outdoorsman, with a love for not only the sport, but the animals as well.
