Guides
Tony Grimmett
The founder and Head Guide of Pronghorn Guide Service. In 1986 his brother, John, took what has become the Safari Club International World Record prongohorn. After that hunt word got out that these Grimmett's might know how to hunt pronghorn and hunters began requesting that Tony or John assist them on their hunts. Tony realized after a couple of years that he was particularly good at this and formed a guide service, but he didn't form just any guide service. He realized that guides and outfitters were in abundance and that the trophy quality that other outfitters were guiding clients to was subpar. It was because of this that he built Pronghorn Guide Service around the foundation of taking only trophy antelope and, as evidenced by our video, that in the pronghorn hunting world "Size Is Everything."
Eli Grimmett
At 26 years old Eli is the youngest of the guides. He has to his credit two monster antelope - one from Utah scoring 89 SCI (87 B&C) and one from Wyoming scoring 87 SCI (85 6/8 B&C). Eli started scouting antelope when he was 8 and has since developed several unique scoring systems to assist in scoring one of the hardest animals in the world to field judge. He spends all his available time in the field and stacks up against anyone in the business.
John Grimmett
John is Tony's brother and has been guiding for Pronghorn Guide Service since the beginning. He has taken six record book antelope, one of which is the Safari Club International World's Record scoring 99 7/8 SCI. This buck also won first place for the B&C Awards period of '86-'88. John has won two Leather Stocking Awards - one rifle and one muzzleloader. John is a great asset to Pronghorn Guide Service.
Dave Brown
Dave has been with Pronghorn Guide Service for eight seasons and has had great success. In a short time he has become one of Pronghorn Guide Services best team players. He's had one Arizona antelope tag and took a buck scoring 84 6/8 B&C. With Dave's help we took a pronghorn scoring 96 2/8 SCI in 2003.
Stan Gaines
Stan is one of the most well rounded guides on our team and has guided for every species of game in Arizona at one point or another. In the late 80's Stan archery hunted a buck in Unit 10 that would later be taken by Susan Whitaker and score 94 6/8 B&C! He continues to take on hunters and hunts of all types and continues to produce excellent results!
Terry Herndon
Terry is our newest team member and has successfully branched out and formed his own outfitter and guide service called Arizona Outfitter. When he's not guiding for his own business he's able to tackle a few hunts for us. In 2004 Terry took a monster pronghorn with a muzzle loader scoring 87 B&C and ranking in the top 10 in the muzzle loader record book!
Rocky Priddy
Rocky has taken many trophy animals from across the country including an Arizona pronghorn scoring 84 6/8 B&C. He has guided for Pronghorn Guide Service for 15 years and is responsible for many monster bucks and can get the job done under pressure.
