Reviewer Comments: Tuffy makes all other outfitters obsolete. I saw 12 bulls the first hour of the first hunt. I shot a nice bull that green scored 352 4/8ths. I shot mine at a watering hole on the second afternoon. The other hunter with me saw many bulls and shot at 3 of them. He also had 2 chances at bulls really,really close but the cameraman didn't have time to get set up. One was even bigger than mine. Really he runs a great operation. This was truely the hunt of a lifetime. Absolutely without hesitation I'd recommend Tuffy.

New Mexico Hunting Information
New Mexico is one of the top destinations for trophy Elk and Antelope hunting. Draw odds can be tough depending on the unit but landowner tags are also available for those who don't draw. Mule Deer are plentiful but generally of average size. Only a couple of units and reservations consistently produce big muleys.
Illinois Hunting Information
Illinois is widely known as a top trophy whitetail destination. Illinois also has some great waterfowl hunting, especially in southern portions of the state.
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.
