Reviewer Comments: I have hunted there now for 2 years and am planning another. Don knows his land and how to harvest big animals. It is a great value and an excellent opportunity to harvest a big buck. Almost everyone in camp is a repeat customer which tell you a ton about the outfitter. The land is excellent and the stands are great for a long day sit. Lodging, meals and service are great. Don does his homework (scouting, videos, trail cameras, etc..) knowledge is superb.

Reviewer Comments: We hunted with Grand River Outfitter on the openning week of the 2006 firearms season. Don's ability pattern deer movement was evident by his stand placements, there where 27 bucks killed by the end of the 2nd day and 38 by the end of the week. The quality of the deer ran from 100 BC to 180 BC.. it was up to the hunter to determine the quality of the deer he wanted to harvest. The accomidations and the food was also very good. The only negative I found was that there was not a good area to clean or butcher your deer. With that said, Don assured us that he would have a nice cleaning and processing station for the 2007 season. We have already booked our hunts for next year (2007). We had a great hunt and most of all a "GREAT TIME"

Overall Impression: Very Poor
Recommend: No
Reviewer Comments: The outfitter's guides were hunting while you were hunting. Stands were of poor quality, No lunch was served,. You were put in a stand and that was your stand all week. Stand location was poor out in the open, long range shot's with a rifle 200+yrds. This outfitter needs to cater more to his client's than themselves. Out of 12 guys in camp only 1 guy got a shot at a buck,. It was a nice buck, but not many were sighted the whole week. There are quality bucks there, but you'll have to hunt the rut with a bow or go the first week of the gun season. I was there the 2nd week of the gun season.

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.
Ohio Hunting Information
Ohio is best known for its trophy whitetail deer. In fact, the world record non-typical whitetail was harvested in Greene county by Mike Beatty in November 2001,
British Columbia Hunting Information
British Columbia is an excellent hunting destination that offers a wide variety of game species. Vast wilderness areas and pristine coastlines provide world class adventure hunting for those seeking that trip of a lifetime. BC is arguably best known for big coastal black bears, Canada moose, grizzly bear, mountain lion, Dall sheep and Stone sheep. Hunters can book a hunt with an outfitter and avoid the license drawing process common in most U.S. states.
