Welcome to Hambelton's Guide Service

 

     We are a family-run hunting guide business based in Redding, California, and built on tradition, service, and a genuine love for the outdoors. For over 10 years, our family has dedicated itself to creating memorable experiences in the woods for veterans, youth, and anyone who has never had the chance to hunt before.

     Our story begins with Dave Sr., whose passion for the wilderness was sparked by his Uncle Charles. That love was passed down to his sons, Rob and Dave Jr., who now stand beside him to carry on the Hambelton legacy. Together, they’ve spent countless seasons helping hunters of all ages experience the thrill, the respect, and the responsibility that comes with time spent in nature.

     We proudly guide hunts for veterans and youth, giving back to the people who inspire us most. Our family is also actively involved in youth ministry, using the outdoors as a place to mentor, encourage, and build confidence in young people. For Dave Sr., watching a kid take their first animal isn’t just a moment, it’s a memory that fuels his passion season after season.

     At Hambelton's Guide Service, we believe hunting isn’t just about the harvest. It’s about connection, to the land, to each other, and to the traditions that shape us. Whether you're brand new to the outdoors or looking for a guided experience rooted in respect and family values, we’re honored to take you along for the adventure.
