Reviewer Comments: This was my 10th Bear hunt, first in Quebec. We had 16 guys in Camp and 14 harvested Bears. The Bears weight averaged only 130 pounds, largest being about 300# and smallest about 90#'s. This is a place for ACTION! But not known for it's Trophy Big Boars, they are in hibernation for such a long time. The Snow just melted at the end of May! I had Moose and Wolf's just a few yards away from my stand. If you want to go on a hunt to see Bears, call Don!

Reviewer Comments: Don is known as Mr. Bear. I was scared to book a bear hunt until I heard about this reliable outfitter. 6 of 8 guys got bears on private sites set out for each hunter. Each of 3 sites were exclusive to each hunter and untouched until that hunter hunted the site. Excellent bear population, very experience guide.

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.
Colorado Hunting Information
Colorado is one of the best western states for trophy mule deer hunting and has the largest population of elk in the west.
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.
