Reviewer Comments: Craig Smith is a very personable, experienced outfitter who knows how to get the job done. He runs an excellent operation and his staff will work as hard as possible to find you a trophy animal to be proud of. I harvested a 15 1/2" antelope on the first day of the hunt and a heavy antlered 5X4 muledeer on the third day. I'm going back with my son so he too can enjoy Wyoming's finest. An elk hunt will also be on my schedule with Craig ASAP. The man knows how to "get her done!"

Reviewer Comments: Craig and staff run a good operation he is a true guide / outfitter. He is concerned about his clients overall satisfaction. He has a good reputation and it is well deserved. I harvested an antelope a few tenths shy of P&Y and now have an excellent representation of the species. He was preparing for his elk hunts the same time we where in camp and I can say this would also be a great hunt based on the effort he was making to detail.

Reviewer Comments: I'm from New Jersey and have been on many hunts away from home. This is by far the best I've been on. From the amount of game you will see to the dinners you will be served. I've been to triple three outfitters twice and with a little luck in 2004 I'll draw an elk tag and be back. This is a great place and these are great people. I would recommend triple three outfitters to anybody who wants to see plenty of game and then go back to a nice clean cabin and enjoy a good meal. If I could answer any questions or be of any help you can contact me. My e-mail pucc24@aol.com

Reviewer Comments: BOTH MY HUNTS WERE ARCHERY HUNTS, TOOK A 6X6 BULL ON THE FIRST FULL DAY OF THE HUNT, THE SECOND BULL OF THE MORNING THAT WE CALLED IN. I'VE HUNTED ELK FOR 29 YEARS, AND I KNOW HOW TOUGH IT IS TO GET A GOOD BULL WITHIN BOW RANGE. WEATHER AND THE MOOD OF THE ELK WILL DETERMINE IF YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO CALL ONE IN, BUT ITS UP TO THE OUTFITTER TO HAVE THE RIGHT AREA, AND THE EXPERIENCED GUIDES TO GET THE JOB DONE, AND TRIPLE THREE HAS BOTH. THE ANTELOPE HUNTING WAS NO DIFFERENT, WITH LOTS OF QUALITY ANIMALS TO HUNT.

Reviewer Comments: Craig runs a very good outfit and his wife Donna is an excellent cook. This was my 4th. hunting trip to wyoming but my 1st. with tripple three and was holding out for something bigger than a first time hunt average deer bigger than 20" and antelope of 12". Saw many 20" deer and lots of 12-13" antelope but none larger although I'm sure they are there. A couple of larger antelope were taken however. I even passed on a whitetail that would have scored about 125-130 (long tines but only 16-17" spread). On day 4 I took a nice 5x5 average mule deer and 30 minutes later decided to take one of the 13" antelope we were seeing daily.My hunt dates were Oct. 15-19 and the weather was warm. Am definitly going back again .

Reviewer Comments: This was the hunt of a lifetime. Shooting both a trophy antelope and a 5 x 7 mule deer in two days.I have no idea how many bucks we passed on in just the morning of the first day, before deciding to take this 5 X 7. The antelope was almost 15 inchs. Craig runs an outstanding operation and the guides are top notch.Thanks to Donna the food is great. Clearly the best hunt that I have been on. Already booked for 2003.

Reviewer Comments: This was truly the hunt of my life. I wanted to shoot a trophy antelope and Craig and Phil found one for me. I didn't want a drive up and shoot trip, I wanted the stalk/crawl/hunt away from civilization and they came through. 260 yards near dark on the third day of the hunt I got my trophy. Earlier on the same day Phil spotted 3 deer crossing a ridge far away the morning silhouette was awesome. I asked Phil if he was a shooter and if he could get me in range. 2 hours later I shot the 5 x 4. This happened after passing a much larger 3 x 3 because it was within sight of a dirt road. My deposit is in for an elk hunt next year. 30 years of hunting this was the best!
Oregon Hunting Information
Oregon is not known to be a trophy big game producing state. That said they do have good quantities of animals such as Elk.
Ontario Hunting Information
Ontario is often considered a sportsman's paradise. This large province contains huge sections of wilderness, filled with thousands of lakes that provide excellent habitat for Canada moose and black bear. Excellent fishing for walleye, northern pike, muskie, smallmouth bass and other species can often be combined with a hunt. From spike camps to 5-star lodges, there are lodges, guides and outfitters for every adventure and every taste.
Iowa Hunting Information
Iowa is one of the best Midwestern states for monster whitetail bucks. Non-residents must apply for a tag in their annual drawing. Archery tags are the most sought after and depending on what units you apply for generally take 2-4 years to draw.
