Moose Hunt 2011 Deer Lake, NL Canada
Great accomodations. Great food. Lots of game. Once your guide filled your tag he was willing to go and help out the other guides with their clients. Greg Simms and family first class. I would highly recommend and would return myself for future moose hunts. Price very reasonable.

Lake Douglas Hunting and Fishing
I had a great experience hunting with Greg and his staff. The accommodations were great as was the food, the staff was very friendly and made you feel at home and our guides put in the necessary work, and then some, to provide an opportunity. I had three other hunters in my party and we all had a great hunt. We were able to take three quality moose. The weather was a little tough the week we were there, a lot of wind and rain, but you can

Moose Hunt
Our hunt started with a overnite stay at a local hotel in Deer Lake,Nl.The next morning Greg the owner of Lake Douglas Hunting and Fishing inc,picked myself and three other hunters that I was hunting with for the two and a half hour drive to camp.Once at camp gerg showed us to our rooms so we could unpack our gear and then introduced us to our guides. After lunch we went to the range to recheck our rifles for the next day of our hunt.The camp was very comfortable,Judy, the camp cook served us great meals wich were served family style, breakfest at 400am,lunch was soup and a sandwich at camp or a bagged lunch if you were hunting all day.We hunted two hunters per guide,our guide Pious was one of the most knowledgeable,hardest working guides I have ever had the pleasure of hunting with. There was eight hunters in camp that week and we killed six bulls and one cow, with numerous hunters passing up smaller bulls.I kelled a 36in 13 point bull with a live weight of 860lbs. With a little hard work from the hunter everone should kill a nice bull.Greg has put togeather a very knowledgable,friendly,hard working staff. You won"t be disappointed hunting with Greg Samms at Lake Douglas Hunting and Fishing Inc.

Moose Hunt
I had a great time hunting at Lake Douglas Hunting and Fishing Inc. The guide, Greg Samms, was very knowledgable about the area. I several moose and took my moose on the second day of the hunt. The cooking and accomodations were above expectation. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Lake Douglas Hunting and Fishing.

Newfoundland Moose Hunt
I went not only for a hunt but an adventure as well. Both expectations were met. The operation was high in quality with both accomidations/meals and guides. I felt that I was just as important as the next client. I have hunted where this was not the case. My guide went more than the extra mile so to speak to help me find an animal. Although I did not shoot a moose I was very please with the hunt, the experience and would go back and hunt with Greg and his business in the future. It is a place where you could take your family to hunt or not and they would be at home and you could be comfortable with the professionalism of the people involved. Top notch

Reviewer Comments: We arrived for the last week of moose season in Newfoundland. the lodge is beautiful the staff were all very nice the food was tasty. My guide Greg Brent worked tirelessly to to get me in front of game. The weather conditions made it very tough, high winds every day, but He and I worked hard and I got real lucky and shot Bull Winkle at 22 paces. 14 Points and 39.5 inch outside spread with nice paddles, a real beauty.

Reviewer Comments: I had a great experience. I shot my Moose of a lifetime, 17 points, 38 inch spread, about 1,200 pounds on the hoof. My guide was great. He was very knowledgeable, he called my animal in, he did a great job of field dressing the animal and getting him out of the bush which was no easy task. The owner did an excellent job of caping the animal and preparing the meat for the butcher. Everyone in the camp was friendly and the cook was good and very accommodating.

Reviewer Comments: We were there the week of October 11th, 2009. 4 hunters for moose and we all bagged one. The outfitter, for this season so far, is at almost a 100% moose kill percentage. Do not expect a moose behind every tree. Not all moose taken have monster racks. I was fortunate enough to take a 12 pointer with a 36" spread. Of the 27 or so moose take so far at the camp, mine was the 5th or 6th largest. I saw honest pictured and videos of some real monsters taken at the camp this season. The other 3 hunters in our group got a 4 pointer and two six pointers. I give this information only to give you a feel of what to expect. All of us would gladly come back with this outfitter. Judy, the cook and camp manager does a great job and often prepared some excellent local meals. I talked to several other hunters that went with other outfitters and got a lot of negative comments. Comments such as poor cooking, poor accomodations, poor guides and poor overall experience. WE DO NOT HAVE A SINGLE NEGATIVE COMMENT ABOUT GREG SAMMS AND HIS ORGANIZATION AND ACCOMODATIONS. I talked with the meat processor that handles over 15 other outfitters and got top notch ratings ("one of the best if not the best") regarding the quality of meat (the way its cut, cleaned, handled, stored and delivered)received from Lake Douglas Hunting and Fishing. The hunting can be hard, with over 50% of Newfoundland being bogs. Do not expect a moose the first day of the hunt. It took us several days to get ours. With Lake Douglas you should expect, AND YOU WILL GET, top hunting service at a fair price. Newfoundland Is a vast and beautiful land with warm and friendly people. THIS IS SOMETHING YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS.

Recommend: YES to anyone
Reviewer Comments: Recommended to anyone and everyone that will listen. What a great hunt. The Scenary, the food, the adventure and the ARGO is worth the trip alone. Then ad lots of animals and experienced guides and the hunt is over the top. My son shot a Bear of a lifetime a day after he shot his first ever Moose and those were the first 2 days of the hunt. Camp tagged out for 2nd week in a row and the hunting will only get better as the weather gets colder. Call me anytime to discuss anything about the trip.

Kansas Hunting Information
Kansas is one of the top producing monster whitetail buck states in the country. It also has some excellent turkey hunting and a few big mule deer in the western part of the state. Kansas has an excellent reputation as a top notch destination for upland birds. It has excellent populations of pheasant and quail due to the vast expanse of suitable prairie and grassland type habitat.
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.
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.
