A quiet, easygoing demeanor makes him a consummate guide for all experience levels. With Keaton, any hunter gains a thorough knowledge of all aspects of the wilderness.
Crayton was born and raised in East Tennessee riding horses and hunting. He grew up chasing whitetails, ducks, and turkeys all over the southeast. His passion has always been in the woods hunting and interacting with wildlife. There was nothing more exciting to him than hitting the right call to lock up a pair of ducks or make a turkey strut right into range. The call and response interaction is what made him fall in love with elk hunting in Montana. Seeing a bugling bull charge into range is why he loves to guide hunters and share that experience. Crayton says, "Guiding elk hunters on horseback in country I've ridden so much is the just one more perk of the job!"
