Reviewer Comments: Had excellent weather conditions that put literally thousands of migratory elk onto this large private ranch to join its small resident herd. The beautiful mountain terrain they generally access by horseback was left undisturbed as the unpressured elk fed and bed on the flatland at their base. It was way to easy but the guide made it interesting and I was very happy to finally see an elk at less than 500 yards,and to harvest one. I'm sure most years their hunts are more challenging but the guides and their equipment would certainly be up to it!

Reviewer Comments: Hunted whitetail and mule deer on large private ranch in cental Montana. Spot and stalk from 4x4s and some still hunting. Saw five to ten or more bucks per day. Largest shot by a fellow hunter was a 135 pt. whitetail. I saw one large mule deer twice, but no shooting opportunity. The fifth day I shot a narrow (18inch) but high 5x5 mulie (my largest ever). Great guides, friendly, accomodating to your desires for a good hunt. I never felt pressured to shoot a particular animal. I don't believe they take more than six people in camp at once. Varied terrain from pine forest to planted fields. Talked to one guy who bow hunted here earlier in the year for deer and elk and he had a great time with plenty of opportunities. Game care was excellent: They cape, skin and deliver to processor at no charge.

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.
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.
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.
