Disappointing to say the least
Went last year and had a good trip but didn’t shoot any deer. Nothing qualified for the size rules... but we were optimistic to come back this year on a better week of the rut. We were rotated through the same unproductive stands for 4 days straight Seeing the same small deer. This year instead of home cooked meals we were served fast food Popeyes chicken and pizza. They had us hunting out of ripped and torn ground blinds and stands that were not maintained. Each morning when we asked what the plan was just minutes before we were supposed to leave they would tell us they had no idea. This lead us to believe there was very little scouting or planning for our trip and it showed. We were put outside in open tree stands on days where we expected rain and then we were left there even after we called to be picked up. We had to walk a mile and a half out on our own. Not the service level we were looking for for $1800 per person....

Disappointment
The lodging is very nice and the food was excellent, but that is where the good times end. Owner's requirements for taking game are beyond what was available to shoot. Areas with plentiful doe were 8 point buck or better only( and a minimum of 15" inside spread or you pay a $500 penalty) and areas where you could take buck or doe had no activity at all. We had 10 hunters out for 3 days and no one saw or took a deer that met restrictions. When I asked for a place to take doe I was put in a stand next to a road overlooking a clear cut and recently burned hillside. Huge waste of time and money.

Quebec Hunting Information
Quebec is probably best know as an excellent caribou hunting destination. Hunters from across the globe travel to Quebec to hunt their big Quebec-Labrador caribou migration. In addition to caribou hunting, Quebec offers black bears, Canada moose and whitetails.
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.
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.
