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.

Reviewer Comments: This was my second hunt with NTO. This time I went with ten Friends from our bow club and we had a blast. We hunted with Paul for 4 day and came home with 24 animals. I shot a Blackbuck, Texas Dall, Catalina and a Black Hawiian. The guides are number one and really make the hunt. We had one women in camp with us and they made her feel right at home. You must try this hunt.

Reviewer Comments: Very nice ranch with game everywhere. I was able to stalk and shoot a great Blackbuck that will make the R.O.E. and passed on a 250-lbs hog (I'm kicking myself). The sheep are plentiful and many are huge. The hunt will be one I will remember forever. Paul and Don are great cooks and make you fell right at home (they have some funny stories to pass the time too). I will be going back for one of those HUGE Fallow Deer very soon. Give these guys a call, you won't regret it.

Reviewer Comments: My wife and I and another couple hunted with NTO and had a great time. My wife just started bowhunting and took 3 animals. She made a 40 yard shot on a Huge Texas Dall. The animals were challenging to bowhunt and there was numerous animals. We had a great time and plan on going back. Between the 4 of us we took 9 animals and the price was very reasonable. Paul is a fun guy to be with in and out of the field and his guides are great guys too.

Reviewer Comments: I brought my handicapped son to hopefully harvest his first game animal. Mr. Cantrell went out of his way showing kindness and patience as he personally guided my son to a gold medal mouflon. This was a hunt that my son will cherish for a lifetime.

Reviewer Comments: I have hunted at NTO on numerous occasions and as always, this hunt was as great as the first. My son and I hunted one day and I shot a VERY LARGE (+800 lb) hog with my bow and my son shot a silver medal mouflon with a pistol. It is hard to put in this review how great it is to hunt at NTO. Paul and Don (guide) are 2 great guys to hunt with and they will do whatever it takes to make your hunt a memory of a lifetime. If you want to go on a true Texas ranch style exotic hunt, then give these guys a call. You will not be disappointed. Look at some of my other reviews over the last 2 years and you can get more information on some of the other animals we have shot and how I feel about hunting at NTO.

Reviewer Comments: We had a great time. Would recommend this for any one. My sons had a great time. We hunted the outback (economy hunt) didn't expect to much but end up with several bronze and silver medal animals. Would go back,already planning on next Christmas vacation hunt. The ranch, with the creeks and hills make for a beautiful scenery to hunt in. Everything was fair chase, did alot of walking or you can hunt stands with feeders.

Reviewer Comments: Paul Cantrell and his crew know how to create a perfect hunting experience. The economy hunt ($250 per animal) was a great value. We stalked with a guide who understood his role well. We had a great time...even during the ice-storm of early December 2000! I have already recommended NTO to my friends and they had the same high quality experience.
