Fish in a Barrel
Let me preface this review by stating our flight was 8 hours late and then my bow did not arrive. I purchased this hunt at a QDMA banquet and was under the impression I was chasing free range stag as the general manager from Poronui was at the banquet. I borrowed the guides rifle due to the fact my bow did not make the trip. So, when we pulled up to a gate the first morning and I told the guide I was on the free range hunt and his reply was, "We don't have any free range stag here", I was not thrilled. An hour later, I shot a stag at 60 yards. The entire time we were there getting the deer out, a 400 inch red stag lie at 80 yards watching us. The next day my bow arrived and I elected to chase free range Sika. I soon found out that my guide had never bow hunted a day in his life and they knew I was coming to archery hunt. It was exciting chasing them and the numbers and quality were good. This is a high end lodge but not my cup of tea.

Kansas Hunting Information
Kansas is one of the top producing monster whitetail buck states in the country. It also has some excellent turkey hunting and a few big mule deer in the western part of the state. Kansas has an excellent reputation as a top notch destination for upland birds. It has excellent populations of pheasant and quail due to the vast expanse of suitable prairie and grassland type habitat.

Quebec is probably best know as an excellent caribou hunting destination. Hunters from across the globe travel to Quebec to hunt their big Quebec-Labrador caribou migration. In addition to caribou hunting, Quebec offers black bears, Canada moose and whitetails.
