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"

Species Hunted: Whitetail

Game Quality: Lot's of Doe's

Accommodation Quality: Good

Camp Condition: Poor

Food Quality: Poor

Guide Experience: Poor

Other Personal Experience: None

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.
