Brad Fry was born and raised in and around Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and after completing a 4 year Bachelors of Science degree from the University of Saskatchewan, he immediately began pursuing his dream job as a professional hunting guide.

The first 5 years of his career were spent in the remote McKenzie Mountains of the North West Territories where he guided horseback hunts for Dall Sheep and Mountain Caribou. Each fall Brad would also return home to Saskatchewan to guide for world class Whitetails, Black Bear and Waterfowl, something he has done throughout his career and continues to do so to this day. It was also at this time Brad started to put his adventures on paper and began to have his articles published in popular magazines like North American Whitetail, Big Buck, Big Game Adventures, FNAWS and Bear Hunting Magazine.

After 5 years in the Territories, Brad set his sights on the Yukon where he focused his attentions on the Monster Moose the area is famous for. Stone Sheep, Grizzly, and Mountain Caribou were also a main staple on these horseback and backpack hunts. Again, always one for adventure, after 5 seasons in the Yukon, Brad’s ever present desire to “see what’s on the other side,” led him just south across the border to the northern limits of British Columbia where he held the Outfitters license to the well known Cassiar-Stone guiding territory. Here, Brad guided and outfitted many clients to outstanding trophy Canadian Moose, along with the exceptional Stone Sheep, Grizzly, Mountain Goat and Mountain Caribou the region is known for.

After 3 years in B.C. Brad was ready for a change and with a young family in mind, returned to focus his attention on his Whitetail and Black Bear operation in his home province of Saskatchewan.

However, after a few years away from the mountains, the wilderness kept calling and Brad eventually found himself answering the call, heading back to the Yukon, to guide a few hunters each year to help quench his undying thirst for adventure in Canada’s remote wilderness.

During all of these adventures, Brad has always packed a video camera, and it is this passion for capturing and documenting these real hunts which has become the foundation for The Canadian Guide Life TV Series.

Blake Coutts A professional cattleman by trade, Blake’s passion and enthusiasm for hunting and the great outdoors can perhaps only be rivaled by his undying desire to capture his and anyone else’s adventures on camera.  As a result, Blake plays a key role in the production of The Canadian Guide Life, whether he is behind or in front of the camera.  He’s knocked down a few big critters too!
Dennis Stabe Dennis has been a great friend and client of Brad’s ever since they met years ago in deer camp.  Over the past decade Brad has had the opportunity to guide Dennis on many successful hunts for Moose, Caribou, Sheep, Bears and Whitetails.  After many years of watching Brad film these adventures, Dennis too has now caught the filming bug and successfully contributes to the show both in front and behind the camera.  He’s not a bad bow hunter either!
Destry Harris Destry is a guide and rancher from the great state of Montana, where he consistently puts his clients onto trophy class Elk, Antelope and Mule Deer.  Over the years he has been a client of both Brad’s and Dave Archer’s; always packing a camera and always capturing some great footage, he is a guides dream client…….he’s always happy and smiling, shoots a trophy class animal on camera the first day, then leaves the next morning!  What could be better?  Well….maybe a tip?
Dave Archer Beginning his guiding career in Alberta for Moose and Black bear, Dave realized his passion for guiding early on and started his own business in his home province of Saskatchewan called DNA Guiding and Consulting.  Over the years Dave and his brother Les have produced an endless list of trophy Whitetails and Black Bears for their clients.  Never being one to sit down for longer than a second, Dave does find time now and again to hit the woods for himself which usually spells trouble for the game he is after.  Now, if we can just get him to take his video camera along…..
