Reviewer Comments: Hunted at Ford Creek in 2005. I walked for 6 days for 12 to 13 hours a day and never sighted an elk. The gudies were good but the area does not hold elk and very few mule deer. The owner offered no explaniation for the lack of game. The area appears to have been over hunted and does not hold game. I would not recommend this outfitter.

Camp Condition: Supplied by guide if possible
Food Quality: Average
Guide Experience: Only one had experience
Other Personal Experience: None
Overall Impression: Terrible
Recommend: NO
Reviewer Comments: I shot an average 4x4 Mulie (which I spotted, dressed & dragged myself)but they have NOT killed an Elk since 1997. The TWO big bulls (in the brocure)were killed by a father & son that happened to head them off in a vehicle as they crossed the road. Terribly misrepresented and a waste of money. They had only ONE experienced guide in 2000 and he was let go along with the entire staff in 2001. Do NOT book here !!!!!!!!!

Reviewer Comments: They have two problems: 1) Deer are scarce, elk non-existent 2) There is no communication between guides and hunters. They will not answer such simple questions as : "what do you have in mind for tomorrow"

Kansas Hunting Information
Kansas is one of the top producing monster whitetail buck states in the country. It also has some excellent turkey hunting and a few big mule deer in the western part of the state. Kansas has an excellent reputation as a top notch destination for upland birds. It has excellent populations of pheasant and quail due to the vast expanse of suitable prairie and grassland type habitat.
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.
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.
