Reviewer Comments: I took a 133 buck with a forked brow tine. Quite honestly, I probably could have done better and it was my fault because the buck I took just plain fooled me; I thought he was 150 or better.Nevertheless, he is a handsome animal and I'm happy with him.You hunt on stands over cut lines and have from 3 to 5 seconds to size up an animal and make your decision, but that's hunting and in no way am I being critical of the outfitter. One of the guys in our group took a "slammer" that scored 163 and interestingly, he had no idea how big the deer really was when the shot was taken! As far as the experience of the guides, it's hard to say because they merely drop you off and tell you to give them a call if you get too cold, or take an animal. But you are given a satellite phone and a "body bag" in the event that it is really cold (in the morning it was around -5F and would go to 10 or 15F during the day). But having said all this, someone does some good scouting because the stands are well positioned and everyone saw game. Accomodations and food were fine and more than satisfactory.All in all, a good hunting trip and well worth the money.

Oregon Hunting Information
Oregon is not known to be a trophy big game producing state. That said they do have good quantities of animals such as Elk.
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.
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.
