Reviewer Comments: A dream Wyoming hunt. I've hunted mule deer in several states but Craig and his crew provided a truely outstanding experience. I shot a 13 inch antelope the first day and a 5X5 27" muley on day two. I should have waited for a bigger antelope. I saw bigger ones throughout the rest of the week. I was totally happy with the deer. Shot the antelope at 163 yards (lazed) and the muley at just over 100 yards. My guide, Bob, worked his tail off for me and had me pass on several nice bucks. "Let's wait Dell...we'll find a bigger one", was his typical response when he heard me click off the safety on my rifle. Bottom line?....he was right! I've already booked another hunt with Craig for 2008. Triple Three Outfitters are honest and hard working. I can't wait for my 2008 Whitetail and antelope hunt! Feel free to call or e-mail with any questions.

Reviewer Comments: This is the second year we have hunted with Triple Three Outfitters and we could not ask for anything more. We saw lots of mule deer and whitetails on our hunt. Our guide Jeremy Smith had us on lots of deer everyday. I shot a 5x5 mule deer(22" inside spread w/good forks) on the second day. My two hunting buddies shot nice 5x5 whitetails on days 3&4. Getting close was sometimes a problem because of the numbers we were seeing. Craig runs a good operation and we will return next year. If you are looking for a good fair chase hunt, these guys are hard to beat.

Reviewer Comments: What an experience. Craig and his outfit are awesome. My dad, brother and I set out to have a great time and that is exactly what we had. We all harvested nice bucks and a couple of doe antelope by the third day of the hunt. It was a great trip and hopefully, we will return in the near future.

Reviewer Comments: I booked the 5 day Antelope/Mule Deer combo hunt opening week (Oct. 1 to Oct.5, 2007). I shot a nice 13" antelope buck on opening day at about 7:30 am (lazed at 163 yards). I should have held out, I saw bigger antelope that same day and on subsequent days. The next morning, Tuesday, I shot a good muley buck. A 5X5, 27 1/2 inch spread (123 yards). Saw tons of antelope all week and passed up two muley bucks on Tuesday that were decent 4X4's, probably in the 20-24 inch spread class. I'm glad Bob (my guide) told me to hold out. He was right! The buck I shot was way bigger than the two I passed on an hour earlier. Craig runs a great hunt. I had a 5 day hunt booked but was done by the morning of day 2 and was a very happy camper! I've already re-booked a 2008 hunt for whitetails and antelope. If you hunt with Craig, be sure to practice, then practice some more with your rifle (out to 300 yards) and you will get the opportunity you hoped for. I sure did. Craig and his guides are excellent and will bust their tails for you but when the shot presents itself, it's all on you then!!

Reviewer Comments: I have backpacked in the Rockies un-guided since 1990 and have spent thousands of dollars on unsuccessful hunts. I decided to go on a guided mule deer hunt after learning about the Triple Three Ranch from a friend. Prior to the hunt I spoke with Craig Smith on the phone and he stressed the importance of long range shooting. I spent the majority of the summer shooting 300 yards in all positions. After arriving at the ranch, I found the accomodations to be superb. On the first day of the hunt, we saw several trophy mule deer as well as other game. I shot a beautiful 5X7 and was very pleased. On the second day, I decided to take my camcorder and got several trophys on film. By the end of the four day hunt, all seven hunters killed some really nice buck as well as antelope.

Reviewer Comments: This is the second time I have hunted with Triple Three Outfitters. Everything was excellent, hunting, ranches, guides, equipment and meals. Looking to go back in 2010. I harvested a heavy horned 5x5 mullie and a 14" antelope with heavy mass and big cutters. I passed on many mullie deer and antelope until I found what I was looking for. No pressure to shoot the first decent deer or antelope. The 7 hunters in camp were all tagged out by the fourth night. I can't say enough good things about Craig and his operation. If you have questions give me a call at 609-202-2175 or email at buckman8@hotmail.com.

Reviewer Comments: This was my fourth or fifth hunt with Craig and his guides over the last 7 years. I have killed Antelope, Whitetail and Mule Deer in the past and hunted strictly for a Trophy Mule Deer this Year. My Guide Randy put me on several shooter bucks each day even with the wind blowing 50 plus mph., including some that took everything I had not to pull the trigger. On the 3rd morning Randy spotted a nice 4x5 with very heavy main beams and a good wide spread at which time I couldn't hold out any longer and took him. I took three friends and all of us took very respectable deer. Craig's wife Donna is usually the cook and does a great job however she took a break and a husband/wife team of Lowell and Alice cooked for the week and I gained 5 pounds. If you want someone to tell you that your gonna kill a 32" deer go somewhere else. If you want an honest outfitter who will give you 100pct effort on getting you a good respectable deer that you will be proud of give Craig and Donna a call. I have hunted all over the U.S.A and Canada and yet to have found a more honest and hardworking outfitter that is fun to hunt with.

Reviewer Comments: This was my third hunt with Craig and my first antelope hunt with him. The amount and the quality of animals was mind blowing!! He has some huge goats and has been 100% on them for years. Great people and a great hunt if you want a P and Y animal.

Yukon Territory Hunting Information
The Yukon Territory is a legendary hunting destination. Hunters from all over the world travel to the Yukon for wilderness adventure hunting at its finest. This rugged, remote and beautiful province is nearly untouched by man. It is similar in size to the state of California but with a population of only about 30,000 residents. The Yukon is a vast, pristine wilderness that holds a tremendous variety of trophy game species. You should be in excellent physical condition to maximize your success and to enjoy the Yukon experience.
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.
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.
