Reviewer Comments: Paul Cantrell is very laid back and friendly person. When he tells you to make yourself at home, you know he means it. You feel like you have known him your whole life. Our guide, Don Wade, was amazing. He knew the game in the area very well. He also did everything he could to make sure you had a great time. He got me within 100 yards of a record book bison, and I made a clean kill with my Sharps 45/70 rifle. It was the best hunt of my life!

Reviewer Comments: I have hunted twice with NTO. I scheduled a red deer hunt for Sept. Don is simply the best guide out there. We hunted Aoudad last time and got a great animal. We laughed, we hunted, I learned and got a superb Trophy. Taxidermy right there. Don has become a friend. I'm so looking forward to September/2006

Reviewer Comments: This hunt started out as an Axis Buck hunt for my wife (Cindy) with crossbow. After we saw the mounted Oryx in the lodge and then a herd of them the next day, she changed her mind. We tried with the crossbow, but just couldn't get close enough, so she switched to a rifle and dropped her Gold Medal Oryx in it's tracks at 216 yards (her farthest shot ever!). We had a great time seeing all the animals and being entertained by Don. Plan to go back for a Blaackbuck later in the year.

Reviewer Comments: 2nd time with NTO and I must say that it just keeps getting better and better. The quality of the animals is amazing. When you meet Don and Paul you would think they have known you for years. Two of the most personable guys I have ever met. Another memorable hunt and can't wait to go back. Give NTO a call. I can assure you it will be an experience of a lifetime.

Don Wade is a first class guide with tons of experience and a personality that is worth the price of the hunt (which by the way is extremely reasonable!).

Reviewer Comments: Another great hunt at NTO! Can't say enough good things about this place, saw SO many animals out there. It is just amazing. We got there Friday afternoon and scouted Friday night, the stalk was on saturday morning. We laid some corn out on the tree line and the rams and hogs came to breakfast. I shot me a nice Texas Dahl ram, Great hunt and can't wait to go again!

Reviewer Comments: What a hunt! Shot a Water Buffalo with my bow! To get in bow range of a water buffalo was no easy task, but Don Wade made it happen. That was the most exciting & intense hunt I've ever been on. Thanks Paul, this was another great hunt at NTO. Thanks Don, you made it another exciting hunt.

Reviewer Comments: Booked a hunt at the last minute. Paul and Don made me feel right at home immediately.They both provide the personel attention that is missing on many of the hunts that I have been on. The quality of the game is incredible. Multiple trophy animals of all species that I was hunting for. Their trophy preperation was fantastic. Could not top this hunt for any amount of money. I will definately be back. Amazing how fast our friendships developed in such a short time. They are dedicated to providing a quality hunt for quality animals at a fair price. Can't say enough good things about my experience at N.T.O.

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.
Oregon Hunting Information
Oregon is not known to be a trophy big game producing state. That said they do have good quantities of animals such as Elk.
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.
