Ross Childers

Ross has been at the helm of 7-V Ranch Outfitting for 40 years and has guided hunters for over 60 years. There was a time when he caped 70 antelope in one season. These days, he lets the "young bucks" do most of the guiding, although he does take hunters out from time to time. In camp, he enjoys sitting by a roaring fire in the Lodge, regaling hunters with stories from a bygone era.

Professional Guide

Chan Childers

A hunter once said of Chan "he's not a hunter, he's a predator". With over 20 years of experience as a professional guide, Chan knows every game pattern and honey hole in the country. He has an unwavering determination for his hunters to succeed and has been known to walk the soles off his client's boots in pursuit of an animal. Chan and wife, Kelsey, have 5 boisterous children. It is not uncommon for one of them to tag along on a pack-out.

Sheldon Bollinger

Sheldon was born into the lifestyle of hunting and fishing with his first experiences being in a backpack, perched on his dad's shoulders as they hiked. He became a guide for 7-V Ranch in the fall of 2001. He has been known to go the extra mile for his clients, and he truly enjoys his job. After his job has concluded, he spends the remaining hours of the season taking his three boys out to harvest game and fill the freezer.
