Reviewer Comments: Wayne has a very comfortable tent camp which is very much needed in rainy Cordova. You will spend alot of days in camp due to bad weather. There are lots of goats and it's a real tough hunt. I killed a good goat and a great bear. Plan on gaining at least 5 lbs. on this hunt. The food is great.

Reviewer Comments: We probably saw at least 60 different rams while we were hunting (probably 8 to 10 legal rams). They were not all accessible of course. We put a stalk on a 40" ram the first day but were busted by one of the 9 other rams that were in the group. On day 3 we stalked another 36" to 37" ram only to be busted again. On the evening of the 5th day we spotted 3 rams with 2 being shooters. We got up at 3:00 am the next morning a were able to make the stalk and harvest the 160 2/8" ram. I failed to mention that it rained for 5 days solid. This never stopped Wayne. He kept us at it everyday no matter what the weather. He is a class act that never quits! I have booked another sheep hunt with him in 2005 and I am hunting brown bear and goat with him this year. When you find a good thing you stick with it.

Reviewer Comments: I hunted in western Alaska, with Woods Outfit. Everything that was promised was delivered. Saw a lot of game, and was fortunate enough to take an 8' grizzly and a 60" moose. That was all I had tags for. Blake Trangmoe was my guide, he was very professional and in excellent shape. Blake knew the area we were hunting very well and how to hunt it. Will be back for a coastal Brownie and hopefully a Dall sheep and goat.

Reviewer Comments: I hunted with Wayne in Western Alaska in 2001 for Moose, Bear and Caribou. My Dall Sheep hunt with him in August of 2003 was outstanding. (I also have a brown bear and mountain goat combo planned for 2004.) He is an outstanding Master Guide that never over hunts his areas. He works harder and is more persistent than anyone I have ever hunted with. After 5 days of rain and more miles than I care to think about, we killed a 160" class ram on the 6th day. You can't go wrong with this guy. He is one of the best.

Reviewer Comments: I hunted with Wayne for 2 weeks in the bush and had the most awsome experience of my life. We ended up taking 2 caribou of which one was Boone and Crocket, a 62" moose and an 8' 6" brown bear. We also did some incredible fishing catching silver salmon, arctic char and grayling. Wayne is a Master Guide and that only begins to describe his abilities. He was constantly concerned about my best interests from food to comfort level to which game to go after. He pushed me to limits I never thought I could attain. If you want a guide who will give 200% then Wayne is your man.

Arizona Hunting Information
Arizona has lots of trophy big game but is probably best known for its trophy elk and mule deer. This partially due to the limited number of tags available.
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.
Illinois Hunting Information
Illinois is widely known as a top trophy whitetail destination. Illinois also has some great waterfowl hunting, especially in southern portions of the state.
