Reviewer Comments: While the Molsee's are very very nice people, it pains me to have to write this, a guide service they are not! The basic Elk/Deer hunt cost $3,800.00 for 7 days. After travel expenses, License's and other fee's total out of pocket cost is around $5,500.00 per person. While the food at camp was great thanks to their wonderful cook "Gabby" the rest of the hunt was an utter disaster. Guide Services are PAID WELL to know where the animals are at. It is the part of hunting I don't have the time to do. It's called "scouting" and a good scout knows where the animals in his area are and where they go in any and all hunting conditions. Shattuck Creek Outfitters exhibited none of these essential qualities. The so called guides drop you off at designated stands/blinds and leave you there for the day. These stands/blinds appear to be placed in the same locations year after year. The one exception was "Luke" who actually stayed with his hunter throughout the day. Hunting pressure in this area also adds to the lack of success since it is public land and the "locked gates" touted by the Outfitter can be driven around on quads which is exactly what he uses. I can understand that not all hunts go the way we want but ask your self this: If you are sitting in an area glassing and notice a very nice size bull elk grazing in small opening about 1000 yards away. Then you notice someone 500 yards to your right standing on the side of a mountain clearing "walking around and throwing sticks over the side" and finding out it is the OWNER of the Guide Service.... well you make the call.

Reviewer Comments: THREE HUNTERS HUNTED FOR A WEEK FOR TROPHY WHITETAIL DEER. LESS THAN 9 DEER WERE SPOTTED BETWEEN 3 HUNTERS. ONLY 2 BUCKS NONE CLOSE TO TROPHIES. FOOD AND LODGING WERE GOOD TO EXCELLENT. THE GUIDES DEPEND ON DEEP SNOW TO CONCENTRATE THE ANIMALS IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS. THE GUIDES DID LITTLE MORE THEN DRIVE US TO DROP OFF POINTS. THIS AREA IS HOME TO SOME REAL BRUISERS BUT YOU WILL NEED A GOOD GUIDE TO FIND THEM.

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.
Yukon Territory Hunting Information
The Yukon Territory is a legendary hunting destination. Hunters from all over the world travel to the Yukon for wilderness adventure hunting at its finest. This rugged, remote and beautiful province is nearly untouched by man. It is similar in size to the state of California but with a population of only about 30,000 residents. The Yukon is a vast, pristine wilderness that holds a tremendous variety of trophy game species. You should be in excellent physical condition to maximize your success and to enjoy the Yukon experience.
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.
