I do not shoot Yearlings or Cubs
This was the worst hunt I was ever on. If you are a serious hunter do not hunt here. It is unethical to shoot 70lb or 80lb bears. Gary will take pictures to create an illusion that the bears are bigger then they are. He justifies this with a lot of excuses. I was so disgusted and upset I packed up my gear and left. Small bears were being shot out of desperation because of a poorly guided hunt.

Reviewer Comments: Gary, Aaron, and Karen work extremely hard to ensure everyone has a enjoyable and successful hunt. This was my second hunt with Gary - first one in 2005 - was on a guided hunt. I was the only guided hunter that year to not see a bear. Did see lots of other game though. The 2006 season I was on a semi-guided hunt. I saw 2 different bears, one of which I harvested.

Reviewer Comments: Second time hunting with Gary, Aaron, and Karen. First time in 2005 on a guided hunt, I was the only hunter to not see a bear, but still had a great time. In 2006 I was on a semi-guided hunt during the third week and got my bear plus saw one other. Making sure that you are having a good time and an opportunity for success is extremely important to them. They do a fantastic job.

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.
Alberta Hunting Information
Alberta is a large, diverse province with rolling prairies, farmland, river bottoms, Boreal forests, and large expanses of the northern Rocky Mountains. Many species of big game, waterfowl, upland game and predators inhabit Alberta. Long known for monster whitetails, Alberta also is home to big mule deer, pronghorn antelope, elk, black bear, cougar, Canada moose, and bighorn sheep. In fact, 7 of the 10 largest bighorn sheep in Boone and Crockett record book are from Alberta. In addition to big game, Alberta offers some top notch bird hunting. Serious waterfowlers know about the large flocks of ducks and geese that call Alberta home or migrate through.
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.
