Reviewer Comments: I booked 8 guys, we were told we all should get a chance at 130 class buck no one seen a buck of that class there were other guys in camp that done good but I found out that they had hunted with him a lot and spend a lot of money with him. We were going to stay in a cabin but when we got there it was not ready so we stayed in motel for two days then had move. He treated us like we were a problem. best buck we killed gross 122! Donnie is full of lies!!!

Reviewer Comments: The staff, lodging, meals, stands and quantity of game was everything a client could dream of. If someone is looking for an all around good hunting trip this is the place to go. I am now a hunting consultant for Donnie, and my job is to find honest hard working outfitters and I've been to many places, and work with many outfitters across the world. These guys want every client to leave camp with a trophy deer, and they will work their butts off to do just that.

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.
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.
Wyoming Hunting Information
Wyoming is a great state for hunters! It offers a wide variety of good big game, turkey, small game, upland and predator hunting.
