Reviewer Comments: 100% Class Act. Mike Murray is felt by many to be the best Professional Hunter working in Africa today. He is a Consumate professional in every way who will work very hard for you. Every aspect of the safari was great. I am going back on an elephant hunt with him this year and hope to be able to go back every year until I die. A Great PH in an excellent area, especially for Elephant and Lion. A+. What more can I say.

Reviewer Comments: From the time we arrived until we all left the hunt was the best. The food was fantastic, accomidations clean and well kept. The staff was very helpful and efficient. The game we hunted was plentiful and above average in trophy quality. I harvested 10 species of the 11 I went to hunt. They were all good quality and the hunt was fair chase and hard work when needed. Mike and his family work with the hunters to see that their abilities are used to the fullest extent. We did a lot of walking but it was worth every kilometer. My wife became ill and the staff tended to her needs which allowed me to continue the safari without worrying about her welfare. The bird hunting as an aside was wonderful as were his dogs. To Mike, Peter, Penny, Barry and the rest of the staff, we did indeed come as clients and left as friends. What a fantastic trip. Their internet sie is www.countrysports.co.za. The value of the trip was exceptional.

Utah Hunting Information
Utah has recently been outstanding for trophy elk, but the best tags take many years to draw. Utah does have conservation tags available for purchase that allow hunters to bypass the drawing. Given the high demand for these premium tags prices can be high. In the past Utah has been a top trophy mule deer state but recently only a handful of units consistently produce B&C caliber deer.
Iowa Hunting Information
Iowa is one of the best Midwestern states for monster whitetail bucks. Non-residents must apply for a tag in their annual drawing. Archery tags are the most sought after and depending on what units you apply for generally take 2-4 years to draw.
Arizona Hunting Information
Arizona has lots of trophy big game but is probably best known for its trophy elk and mule deer. This partially due to the limited number of tags available.
