Reviewer Comments: We Hunted the 2nd Week of Rifle. I was the last to get the one I wanted out of 9 hunters on the 4 day. Dont shoot the 1st one you see cause there is no problem finding them.If you hunt hard and listen to your guide you are guaranted to get a trophy.I got a 24" 4+4 and a 14" antelope.the largest in camp was a 26" 3+3 shot the 1st day

Reviewer Comments: This was my second year with Triple Three Outfitters. I took a great 27" 5 X 5 muley and a nice antelope in 2007. This year I opted for the mid November Whitetail hunt. This was truely a great hunt and I was fortunate to take a nice 4 X 5 whitetail buck on the second day. Lotsa bucks spotted and passed on. My buddy also took a nice 5X5 whitetail and a 14" plus antelope. Craig and his guys will work hard for you. Be prepared to see a lot of game. Triple Three Outfitters is the real deal. Craig Smith is a pro and knows his vast hunting leases like the back of his hand. Feel free to contact me any time about my experiences with Triple Three Outfitters.

Reviewer Comments: Craig and Donna are good, honest outfitters. Craig leases a number of quality ranches and the guides know the properties well. Plenty of game - all hunters in camp filled their tags by the 3rd day, even though the weather was unseasonably warm. The camp was great, the people were friendly, and the food was excellent. Highly recommended for both novice and experienced hunters.

Reviewer Comments: Me and my cousin bow hunted pronghorn with Craig during the second week of September. We hunted out of pop-up blinds set up at fence crossings and water holes. The weather was unusually cool and rainy, so the fence crossings proved to be most productive. The guides were knowledgeable and knew the patterns of the animals, they were quick to change their set-upÂ’s as the conditions changed. 4 out of 5 hunters in camp took antelope with archery gear, the hunter that did not tag out, had left early after only hunting a couple days. This was my first hunt with triple three and will definitely not be my last. I can not say enough good things about their operation, Great people, great food, and plenty of game on their ranches.

Reviewer Comments: This was a fully guided hunt and my first mule deer hunt. I hunted with a compound bow so everything spot and stalk. We saw and stalked quite a few good quality animals during the hunt. I was not successful, but that had nothing to do with the outfitter or my guide. I enjoyed the hunt very much and would highly reccomend this outfitter.

Reviewer Comments: Great hunt, two buddies and myself all tagged out on good pronghorns during the heat of the rut which I was told was not the easiest time to take them with bows. The accomodations were clean and comfortable, food was excellent, and the guides were very knowledgeable and helpful! No problem seeing 50 to 100 pronghorn, whitetail, and mule deer per day! Great trip! The only recommendations I can make are to bring knee pads for hunting in the blinds; and make sure you're using broadheads with large cutting diameters, either fixed or expandables.

Reviewer Comments: Saw tons of animals. Craig and Donna run a good outfit. If never shot an antelope before this is the place to go. 5 people in camp.4 of us took animals (archery). fith had opportunities but passed and ended having to leave 1.5 days early due to family. Mine yas P&Y. Weather was squirrely (cold and rainy) or we probably would have seen more animals

Reviewer Comments: Craig Smith runs a first class operation! I did a archery antelope hunt with him the week of 09/07/08 from blinds overlooking fence crossings. The cabins are clean and comfortable,all the guides know the ranches and the animals that are being hunted.Donna(Craigs wife)is in charge of all the meals,food was delicious,more than you can eat and if you leave the table hungry its your own fault. Pronghorns are plentiful,I counted 130 on my first day before taking mine.I saw enough nice deer that I am making plans on returning.Give Craig a call if you want a great,fun hunt.

Reviewer Comments: I've hunted un-guided for several years without success. This was my first guided hunt and certainly not my last. I wanted a trophy mule deer and that's what I got. On the first day of the hunt, my guide turned me on to a nice 5X7 26" at 280 yards. I dropped him with one shot out of my 270. On the second day I got several with my camcorder. I highly recommend Triple Three Outfitters to anyone who wants to kill game. Everyone in my hunting party shot very nice bucks.
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.
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.
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.
