Owner and Founder of QRS Outdoor Specialties, Quentin Smith has built his operation from a passion of creating lifelong memories through Western Adventures for Big Game, Corporate Retreats, Fishing Expeditions, Photo Safaris and Shooting Schools based on the principles of branded expeditions of hospitality and professionalism bringing clients in and creating life-long friendships that forever hold true today.
Since 2000 Quentin has grown QRS Outdoor Specialties to encompass properties in both Wyoming and Colorado with more than 250,000 acres to create opportunities for sportsmen, family expeditions, first time hunters, and many more to enjoy what the West has to offer.
Born and Raised in Texas until his family moved to Colorado to work the oil and gas industry in 1991 Quentin (better known as “Q”) found a love for the hunting and outdoor industry early in life. Through hunting expeditions with his Dad and family friends Q grew up with the dream of making a career out of the hunting industry and in early 2000 did that very thing. Throughout his high school career Q could be found in the mountains every weekend watching, learning, and studying wildlife behaviors and patterns. This along for his love of working with people soon found him dreaming up ways to create opportunities for people such as himself to enjoy the outdoors.
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!
Son of Owners Quentin and Jordi Smith, Teagan is quick to pick-up on and find those desired trophies one wants to take to their trophy room at home. While you can find Teagan selling hunts at a trade show or learning to call elk in with his calls what he loves the best is being in the woods with his dad guiding clients and making new friends.
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.
Nita, owner of NLS Business and Mother to QRS Outdoors Owner Quentin Smith, is often times the main point of contact for all clients, helping coordinate hunts and answering questions and taking care of all the necessary paperwork for each client’s hunt. Chances are you will work very close with her throughout the booking process and up to the time you come on the hunt.
While hunting was her son Quentin’s passion, Nita has aided him in creating a successful business as Office Manager since 2008.
