Reviewer Comments: Jack and his crew are the real deal.Many trophy class animals. the guides were very savy.Good food, good company the hunting was the best. This is tough bowhunting. Get ready to spot deer a mile away on the open plains. get in good shape practice crawling. and shooting long distances. It doesn't get any better than this!!!

Reviewer Comments: This is A very challenging spot and stalk hunt. I was within 50 yds on 5 different mule deer bucks. I missed 2 deer probably around the 170 range. I did eventually connnect on A 200 3/8 buck of my lifetime.Our hunt was for 9 days and we saw all kinds of weather. The wind blows almost constantly from 25 to 50 mph, very cold temps. and snow for the last 3 days. I got to hunt 1 afternoon for whitetail and saw 3 bucks 1 of them in the 150 range, but couldn't get a shot.Out of 4 of us 3 mule deer were taken with bow a 174 1/2, 178 1/2 and a 200 3/8. All were very nice deer. This is by far a first class hunt for trophy mule deer. We will be back.

Reviewer Comments: This was my second time hunting with Jack. He runs a frist class operation and has it all. section on section of private land access to book class muledeer/antelope and whitetail. He has great guides that can spot deer with unbelievable canny. Muledeer hunting is done in the open plains by spot and stalk. It is the greatest way on earth to hunt muleys. Be ready for a long belly crawl and shots out to 60 yards. your heart will race when he decoys an antelope and he comes running to you. I missed my antelope this year but did take a 5x4 muley that will went 163 in velvet. I took a 5x4 that went 178 the last time. these are great bowhunts. The rifle hunters have a 3 to 4 year waiting list it is that good. He does not even have a website but can be found in the alberta guides book.

Illinois Hunting Information
Illinois is widely known as a top trophy whitetail destination. Illinois also has some great waterfowl hunting, especially in southern portions of the state.
New Mexico Hunting Information
New Mexico is one of the top destinations for trophy Elk and Antelope hunting. Draw odds can be tough depending on the unit but landowner tags are also available for those who don't draw. Mule Deer are plentiful but generally of average size. Only a couple of units and reservations consistently produce big muleys.
Manitoba Hunting Information
Manitoba is known as a top destination for avid waterfowl hunters. Huge flocks of ducks and geese can be found from the Arctic coast of Hudson Bay to the prairie potholes on the southern border of this Canadian province. There is no legal requirement for non-resident waterfowl hunters to use a guide, but many are available and a high percentage of non-Canadian hunters utilize them. In addition black bear, Canada moose and whitetails are hunted throughout the province.
