Reviewer Comments: BRENT PUTS ON A CLASS ARCHERY ELK HUNT DURING THE BUGLING SEASON. TERRAIN IS TUFF AND ELK CAN BE HARD TO GET ON. HIS GUIDES WORK HARD TO GET THE HUNTER IN POSITION. I SHOT A 5X6 ELK WHILE HUNTING WITH HIM. I WAS THE ONLY HUNTER WHO TAGGED A BULL THE WEEK I WAS IN CAMP. HOWEVER, ALL OTHER HUNTERS HAD SHOOTING - SOME MISSED, SOME HIT. A COUPLE OF THE GUIDES WERE LESS EXPERIENCED THAN OTHERS AND HAD A HARDER TIME FINDING THE GAME. BRENT IS VERY HONEST WITH HIS HUNTERS AND WILL DO ALL HE CAN TO ENSURE A GOOD EXPERIENCE. THE BULLS IN THE AREA ARE BIG BUT THE AREA THEY HAVE TO COVER CAN MAKE SIGHTINGS DIFFICULT ON SOME DAYS.

Reviewer Comments: We hunted with Brent in 1997, we were told the winter prior had been severe and had killed off alot of the game. Elk are hard to come by unless you are willing to travel on foot and/or horse many miles. I saw alot of Whitetail deer, mostly smaller bucks no Mulies or Elk. The second to the last day I shot a small 10pt buck, score approx. 120. My dad missed a nice 150 class WTk or Mulies. 11 guys in camp 7 Whitetail, 1 Elk, 1 Mulie and a few misses.Some nice Elk were spotted but no shots made. Brent runs a great camp, most his guides are very experienced. They will work hard to help you harvest the animal you are after. Great bunch! Mother Nature dealt us a bum card but other than that I would highly recommend them. For more info e-mail me at edstratton@aol.com

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.
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.
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.
