Welcome to Rick Young Outdoors

Professional Hunter | Outdoor Video Producer | Hunting Consultant | Outdoor Product Designer

Hello and welcome to our website.  Here you will find some of the many things that we currently have going on at Rick Young Outdoors.

For those of you that don't know me, I have been an avid archery, rifle and black powder hunter since I was old enough to hunt. For 17 years I hosted Northwest Hunter TV, Wild Outdoor Adventures and guest hosted a few other shows. During many of my trips I learned from other hunters around the world and love to share what I have gained with you. I am lucky enough to have hunted in Africa, Asia, South America, Old Russia, Mexico and North America.

I make my home in the Pacific Northwest of the United States with my family, and on any given day you might find me in the field hunting elk, blacktail, black bear, turkey or even in the blind for ducks and geese.

Since "retiring" from the TV business, I have been keeping very busy putting all of my hard knocks outdoor experience to work. We are producing a series high quality DVD hunting videos like you won't find anywhere else.  Our niche market titles like Hounds in Hot Pursuit and SHEEP - High Altitude Adventures feature critically acclaimed hard-hitting big game adventure!  

The Metolius series of Gerber knives feature the E-Z Open blade designed by Rick Young.  We sell several of the most popular models in our online store at competitive prices, so be sure and check them out.  You can read more about the history of the E-Z Open blade and why I designed it to be the safest, most efficient and foolproof guthook replacement on the market at our E-Z Open page.

Our latest product is the Ultra-lite Bino Harness.  Having worn a bino harness in the field to showcase sponsors products for years I am well aware of the issues with them.  Our new harness sports a single point adjustment, is super lightweight, cool, quiet and it doesn't twist or bind up on you.  I'm pleased with how it works and you will be to if you strap one on to your binoculars or range finder.

If you are looking to book the big game hunt of a lifetime, give us a call.  With Rick's 17 years on the road filming hunting television he has seen it all, having hunted with nearly 500 outfitters!  We can help you select the best place, time and outfitter to ensure you have the hunt of your dreams.  We have a few great hunts listed right here on our Hunting Consultant page, and we can also help you out with any North American big game trip.  We can also help you out with Sheep hunts in Europe and Asia, having gained a lot of experience producing our recently released sheep hunting video.

Thanks for visiting our site and from all of us at Rick Young Outdoors, Whatever Your Game, Have a Great Season!
