Reviewer Comments: This will be the best hunt you ever go on. I was truly impressed from start to finish. We harvested several animals in true fair chase conditions, Paul and Don will do everything possible to help you get the trophy of a lifetime. I took a 32" Axis deer and my friend harvested the #4 Mouflon with his muzzleloader, 134 7/8!!! The food and the company are as good as the hunting. Give me a call if you have any questions

Reviewer Comments: Like all the other reviews that I read, Paul, Don, & Brian really are great. Don has helped both of my boys put the 'sneak' on some fine trophies (we always use 'stealth mode'), put my novice wife on a fabulous red deer, and helped me chase down a very elusive fallow buck. They really have fun doing what they do and it shows. These guys are the real deal.

Reviewer Comments: My guide Don Wade took time to show me around the ranch to spot other game and put an excellent stalk on a Bison that I took. I also went in their Outback area and did not expect to see as much game there (took a nice Texas Dall). I found it was overall a very enjoyable hunt as I will return and bring my son with me next trip.

Reviewer Comments: North Texas Outfitters is located North East of Fort Worth. There were more exotics on this ranch than anywhere else that I've been. My guide Don Wade was one of the greatest guys I've ever met. The owner Paul Cantrell is also a great guy with numerous jokes. This was one of the most beautiful ranches I have been on. Great food, scenery and stuff to do after the hunt.

Reviewer Comments: My son & I have hunted with Paul & Don many times, we've always had a great time at NTO. We've enjoyed it so much, that's what I give my son for Christmas, a hunting trip to NTO & he's never disappointed. Paul & Don set up an Auodad hunt for my son for his graduation present from me that turned out great. He came home with a "Monster Auodad" & very proud of himself & memories to last a lifetime. Thanks Paul & Don

Species Hunted: Texas Dall / Corsican Rams
Game Quality: As nice as you can imagine
Accommodation Quality: New, clean and first rate
Camp Condition: Fine
Food Quality: Fine
Guide Experience: On game in under an hour!
Other Personal Experience: First Rate
Overall Impression: This is A++ Hunting
Recommend: Yes
Reviewer Comments: I've hunted at NTO twice, once with a rifle and once with bow. Both hunts were successful and both animals are nice trophies. From Axis deer to Zebras this place is well stocked. If your a bow hunter, tell Don you want to go spot and stock in the outback, and then prepare to have a blast.

Manitoba Hunting Information
Manitoba is known as a top destination for avid waterfowl hunters. Huge flocks of ducks and geese can be found from the Arctic coast of Hudson Bay to the prairie potholes on the southern border of this Canadian province. There is no legal requirement for non-resident waterfowl hunters to use a guide, but many are available and a high percentage of non-Canadian hunters utilize them. In addition black bear, Canada moose and whitetails are hunted throughout the province.
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.
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.
