Huge Disappointment
Doug Gattis had a lease to 160 acres that had a ranch, construction garage, motorcycle riders, target shooters and two tree stands he baits. His ATVs were broke, so I had to return home to get mine to access "good" adjacent BLM land, where moutain bike riders and their dogs went through the stand set up. He doesn't quite know how to use his game cameras as well. He does have lots of "old stories" and mounts in his house to impress you. Do not expect to spot and stalk, still hunt, a drive/push hunt, or any alternative except to be driven to a stand each day, and for him to scratch his head and tell you he has never seen anything like this before. I saw some does, and a few yearling bucks which were marginally legal in seven days of ideal rut conditions. Accommodations were average, food sub par, but I could care less about either of those things. I had applied for eight years before receiving this coveted Blacktail tag and saved two years for a guide. I expect a guide to work and prepare as hard as I do, but this is not the case with Doug Gattis and Southern Oregon Gamebusters. Because Doug would not provide me a contract after I sent a deposit, I had no recourse when I filed a complaint with the Oregon Marine Board. He said he knew I was disappointed in the hunt when I left. I wonder why?

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.
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.
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.
