Big Chino Guide Service

JP Vicente originally founded Big Chino Guide Service in 1987 when he returned home from serving in the army. His father introduced him to the outdoors in the form of summer camps and fishing trips. His passion for hunting grew in high school when he spent a significant amount of time deer hunting with his friends and learning archery. His passion for hunting led him to take every opportunity to be in the field and to ultimate make it his profession! The “Leave No Trace” principal started by the US Forest Service is something that JP and the whole crew at Big Chino Guide Service take seriously.

JP is a native Arizonan that grew up in the central mountains of Arizona. His two sons, Michael and Junior, and his daughter Brianna also grew up hunting and fishing and are carrying on those traditions with their own families. Michael has followed in his fathers footsteps at Big Chino Guide Service and has created a name for himself in the hunting industry by putting his hunters on some of the largest game trophies taken in Arizona! Junior has also joined the family business and has an incredible knack for locating trophy animals behind the glass. Junior has been a spotter for Big Chino Guide Service since he was 12.
