Deep Canyon Success
Easy-going, agreeable guide knew the land, the game and its habits. Used that knowledge to locate a particular buck he'd been seeing while scouting, then to stalk in for a good shot. Stunning country, challenging terrain but guide made hunt as easy, fun and productive as I could hope. He worked well with my wife, too, helping her without undue pressure. We were both comfortable and happy with all aspects of the hunt.

Whitetail in Peck, ID
This guided hunt was my first. The country was beautiful, the meals were great and the amenities were good. I saw over 100 bucks in my 3 days at BCO, with 20% of these 8 points or better. There was a monster that might have been 14+ but could not get in front of him (across the canyon) to get a better look. Definite wall hangers and some trophies. I would recommend BCO to anyone wanting to get away and enjoy the friendly hospitality and the great outdoors.

N. ID Whitetail canyon hunt
Wonderful hunt in dramatic terrain. Guide knew the country and game intimately, enabling us to find a big buck and stalk within sure range. Fun, agreeable guide, good food and lots of it. Beautiful country. Lots of wildlife. Would hunt here again anytime.

Boulder Creek Elk and Mule Deer Hunt
These guys are great. They cater to your ability and hunting style with their guides and the terrain that you hunt. There were several clients at the lodge and many had different criteria about what made a good hunt - all were pleased with the service that I know of. The country is beautiful and with so much land to cover, we had a different place to hunt each day. This is not necessarily an easy place to hunt because of the extreme terrain. Being in shape is an advantage for the Mule deer and Elk hunts. However, these guys have great access and the ability to get you into the areas where the game are so if that is a problem they will make it work. I have never seen so much area with so much game and so few hunters. You will not regret hunting with these guys.

Boulder creek Cougar hunt
First of all I would like to start out by saying not only did I go on this hunt once but two times. The first time I paid the full cost and the second time was half price but was definitely a major waste of my money. Both years we went the snowmobiles broke down on me and the guides. Also, the first year the truck we were supposed to be driving broke down on us as well. Another issue was that they had a bunch of the trails shut down so there was not much ground to cover. When the guides were notified of this they had already known about it but didn't bother mentioning this to me. The guides I went with were not familiar with the land we were hunting at all and they were talking about how they didn't know the land very well. The guides said there had been no lions killed since the season had started there. There was also another hunter on the hunt with us and he was complaining the whole time about how big of a joke the hunt was. He left a day early becuase of the poor quality of a hunt. He said he would never be back hunting with them. I notified the guy over the hunt about how poor the trip was and how I had invested over 10 thousand dollars for my two trips to kill a mountain lion or at least have two quality trips. He said he would try to figure something out just to keep me from posting reviews and we have given him a lot of time and still have not been notified of anything. I would not recomment this hunt to anyone. It was a waste of a lot of money and everything during the entire hunt was a major joke. The food was good but I could have a lot better food than that for ten thousand dollars.

Bouder Creek and Idaho Whitetail Deer
We had the pleasure of hunting with Tim & Matt Craig in White Bird, Idaho while filming an episode of "Boone and Crockett Country" that will air next season. All I can say is that the Craigs who are the owners of Boulder Creek do it right in every sense of the word. They know their property from top to bottom and know how to change when the weather forces you to change. We encountered 70 MPH winds on one day as well as driving rain and snow on others. When it was all said and done Tim and Matt knew how to get us on some really nice White Tail and most importantly film a great episode. We saw a ton of White Tail as well as some huge Mule Deer. Our tags were for White Tail and thanks to the Craigs we were able to take two really nice White Tail Deer. You may not think of Idaho for White Tail but if your looking for a new adventure from the mid west give Tim or Matt a call. I guarantee you will not regret it. I have had the pleasure of hunting all over the United States and have hunted several properties of Boulder Creek Outfitters for White Tail and Turkey. Each time I have never been disapointed. I highly recommend Boulder Creek Outfitters-Idaho for an enjoyable hunt. Almost forgot we took a 4x4 and a 6x5. Bob George National Sales & Marketing Manager Buck Knives Post Falls, Idaho

Combo Elk/Deer Hunt
We hunted at the White Bird Idaho Ranch. The hunt was a horrible. They had one hunting group that was allowed to start hunting a day before we got there. The head guide made sure we were not in the area where they new the elk herd was until their favored hunting party had shot all the best branch bulls out of the herd. I really think they were paid off by this favored hunting group to keep us out of the good elk hunting area until they were all tagged out. It was 3 days until they let me and my son go to where the herd was or had been. By that time most of the few bulls that were left were so spooked from all the hunting pressure there was little chance for us to even see an elk. Also the equipment is in very bad condition and our safety was always a concern to us. I could go on and on about how bad this outfitter is. All I can say is if you are thinking about booking a hunt with this outfitter don't walk away from them, RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
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.
Iowa Hunting Information
Iowa is one of the best Midwestern states for monster whitetail bucks. Non-residents must apply for a tag in their annual drawing. Archery tags are the most sought after and depending on what units you apply for generally take 2-4 years to draw.
