Reviewer Comments: i did an early spring bear hunt last year ( 06 ) with tim. i was very happy with the quailty & size of the bears; also saw a couple of different color phases. we used a 4 wheel drive truck & a 4- wheeler to reach our tent camps; which is nesecarry to get to the remote spot& stalk areas. i harvested a beutiful 450lb. black bear early in the week . which gave me an oppurtunity to purchase another licence. we went back out to the remote areas & one evening we saw a color phase; this first night it got to dark to take a shot. two nights later; not far from the same area; i got a chance to take an apox. 350lb. cin. color phase; unfortunately i missed. but that is part of what hunting is all about. i would like to go back next yr. for my color phase bear; if my work schedule will allow me to.

Reviewer Comments: Tim runs a very poor outfitting business and is constantly on the phone while your hunting with potenial clients or to find guides for his upcoming hunters. He tells you in his phone conversations prior to your hunt that there are many large bands of Goats in his area and that you can look over many Goats before getting your 10 inch Billy. Infact you will road hunt for days until you finally see a Youth Billy and one at best, Two of us hunted for 10 days and only saw 4 Billys of which only two were even in an area that was accessable to hunt. His guides are another problem, he scrambles for help and hires guides who have never hunted in his area or have to go back to work or do other things, thus leaving you with another new guide to finish your hunt. His guide had admitted this to me after the 3rd day of hunting. I further found out later that his actual quota on the number of animals in his area that he is aloud to harvest is three per year. That should give you an idea of how many Goats there really are in his area. Tim will tell you what you want to hear to book you on his hunt. He can never give you the hunt that you think you are getting. He is strapped financially and is barely making ends meet, thus the hunter is the one to loose out in the end. He rents a cabin that he runs his camp out of , which is also currently up for sale by a Realtor, the sign posted as you drive in. What would happen if you booked and the place was sold? Where would you go? Tim is a Bear hunter who wants to be a Goat guide. The reason he gets hunters is because his prices are lower than most, but buyer beware. After we booked he told us that there would be an additional charge of $100 to pick us up at the airport, we agreed and found out later that it was $100 each. So if your looking for a great Goat hunt go up north farther. I have been on Moose hunts with outfitters who have alot of Goat I saw in his area, I just wish I would have been smarter and have booked with him rather than TIM. Of course there is always more to the story...Feel free to contact me at any time. Good luck and hunt hard>>>>>>

Reviewer Comments: My hunt was early Sept 05. It was to be a backpack hunt and we basicly cruised the roads with truck or 4wheeler and the backpacked only after spotting a goat. We seen very few goats, in fact we seen more resident hunters than we seen goats. I also had a bear and deer tag and we seen a couple deer but nothing that was legal(horn) to hunt. I was bow hunting but ended up shooting a goat with rifle due to the lack of goats to try and stalk. I was stunned to find out that my guide had never skinned a goat for Lifesize mount when I told him thats how I wanted it skinned, we got it skinned but it wasn't how my taxidermist would of liked it skinned. When we didn't tent out then we stayed at a small lodge/cabin closer to town that was ok but nothing great. The outfitter was short on guides and in fact he didn't have a guide lined up for the hunter that was coming in to goat hunt the day after my hunt was done. Check your references and find a better outfitter! There is another review about this outfitter that is also from the same state as me and I have never met this guy. But his experiance sounds the same as mine was.

Reviewer Comments: I booked this hunt through a Hunting consultant and feel now that the Consultant sent me with this new outfitter as a ginny pig to see how things went. First off the outfitter had told us that the guides have worked for him for several years, in fact the guide I had had never worked for him in the past and did not know the area very well. The quanity of animals was very poor. In 10 days of hunting I only saw 4 Goats and Kept seeing the same 6 to 8 Deer, of which only one was legal. I did manage to harvest a Goat and a Deer, to the outfitters credit. I was lead to believe that his area had more animals than it had and I was disappointed in this. His area has a lot of Bear if that's your game. The outfitter is a very nice guy and he means well, he is very unorganized and has given false and high expectations in conversations with him before the booking. There are other outfitters to go Goat hunting with.

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.
