Reviewer Comments: I have hunted pronghorn with HCC twice, tagged out both times; mule deer twice, tagged out twice; elk with rifle, tagged the third bull I shot at the first morning (it's not Casey's fault I can't shoot); elk with bow (he let me hunt unguided because I wanted to), missed two 5x5 bulls (there again, it's not Casey's fault I can't shoot). Casey will not steer you wrong and every one of his guides that I have hunted with was excellent. The first time I hunted mule deer with Casey was on a semi guided arrangement, 4 hunters tagged out in 24 hours on a 2 day first rifle season hunt in NM. The second time I hunted mule deer at the same place on an unguided arrangement, he told me that the mule deer had really declined in the last two years (nobody really knows why, but they think it's mountain lions). I talked him into letting me go anyway. I got lucky; my partner didn't. His elk country is crawling with elk, and his pronghorn locations are equally as good. He admittedly doesn't have the greatest mule deer opportunities, but he is a great outfitter to work with on elk and pronghorn. I'll go back many times.

Reviewer Comments: This was a bow hunt for elk. There were plenty of elk! Although there were not a lot of what some might call trophies, (over 300 inches), this is a great hunt for someone like me looking for their first bull. We did see one 320 plus bull at fifty yards. I had three bulls within forty yards and missed a shot at a nice five by five. I passed shots on cows. If you go, get a bear tag because you will see some. The guides were great at planing and accomidating for any physical limitations a hunter might have. I had knee surgery this summer and was a little limited in how much I could climb. They still put me on bulls. They use a combination of spot and stalk and tree stand hunting. This was a great hunt and I plan on returning. The food is great and the staff treat you like the important client that you are. I would recomend this hunt to anyone looking for a bull.

Reviewer Comments: This was a weekend antelope hunt in Ft. Sumner, New Mexico. There were eleven hunters in camp. All taged out the first. I killed the smallest goat (my choice) at 13.5 inches. There was one over 17 inches and an overall average of over 15 inches for the eleven antelope. There were plenty of antelope to choose from as we only hunted a fraction of the property available. There was no need to see it all. The food was good and the guides were great. I would recemend this hunt to anyone looking for a quality antelope as well as a good time.

Wyoming Hunting Information
Wyoming is a great state for hunters! It offers a wide variety of good big game, turkey, small game, upland and predator hunting.
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.
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.
