A true Jack of all trades within the hunting industry and a gem to boot! Wife of QRS Outdoors Owner Quentin Smith you will most likely find Jordi cooking up those delicious Western home cooked meals served while on one of our many hunts. From her famous biscuits and gravy to her hand grilled ribeye steaks or parmesan chicken pasta, you can bet that you won’t leave this camp hungry.

From packing elk on her back off the mountain, setting with clients over a water hole in between meals, or just joking with clients and friends over the kitchen table, you are sure to find that her attitude and smile and smart wittiness are infectious to say the least!

In 2018, Jordi joined the ranks of Grace Camo and Lace as a Pro-Staff Member and can be seen on multiple TV shows throughout the season. While she would tell you otherwise, Q would tell you that Jordi is definitely one of the greatest gifts to a family one could have ever received!

If it is success your looking for in a hunt, then the good luck charm of this up and coming guide to be is one you definitely want in one of our shadow hunter hunting blinds with you.

You can bet that Teagan has what it takes to be a successful hunter and future guide. With a willing and helping hand, Teagan is right there gutting, skinning, and helping glass up those trophies of a lifetime.

While not fond of the cold weather or being outside in the winter conditions found through out the west during most of the hunting seasons, there is no shortage of task involved as the Office Manager for QRS Outdoor Specialties.
