I wounded and they doubled the fee to get back in
This is from the same hunt with Joel Snow that I reviewed before. I might have the dates wrong, but it was a late season 2010 hunt with Hunt Masters Lodge in Ohio. On top of the poor treatment we got with Joel and his staff, I wounded on the second day of the hunt. The next day we tracked the deer but he moved onto ground that we couldn't gain access to. So I asked Joel how much money I needed to pay to get back hunting again. He said $500, I agreed and we shook on it. The next morning I'm all ready to hunt and he comes back to me via text message and doubles the price to $1000 for me to get back hunting, he says it's because his wife, Lisa, "says so". I said "screw that we shook on $500, not 8 hours ago". He wouldn't budge. So I packed up my gear and left the hunt early. Just because I may have a little money doesn't mean I'm going to get screwed after we already agreed on a price. It was all really shady to me. I wanted to be a return customer, but will never return to Hunt Masters Lodge in Ohio.

Hunt Masters if you aren't a pro they aren't inter
This was my second hunt with Joel Snow and Hunt Masters Lodge. The hunting is great and the lodging is nice. But as soon as the pro hunters (Mark Beck, Mark Wimpy) showed up my hunting partner and I got treated like our money wasn't as green as theirs. We got the worse spots to hunt and got treated rudely by Joel,his wife and especially Joel's main guide, Tim Woods. Tim is a complete jerk, mean and nasty. And if you don't know as much as him about hunting he treats you like crap. Hunt Masters is more interested in filming pros and getting on TV (Dominant Bucks) than running a nice friendly business. You will spend a lot of money to go hunting with Joel, but buyer beware. I'll never spend my hard earned dollars with Hunt Masters again. I'd rather hunt at a place that appreciates its ALL of its clients.

Ontario Hunting Information
Ontario is often considered a sportsman's paradise. This large province contains huge sections of wilderness, filled with thousands of lakes that provide excellent habitat for Canada moose and black bear. Excellent fishing for walleye, northern pike, muskie, smallmouth bass and other species can often be combined with a hunt. From spike camps to 5-star lodges, there are lodges, guides and outfitters for every adventure and every taste.
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.
Saskatchewan Hunting Information
Saskatchewan is home to giant whitetails and skies filled with waterfowl. Saskatchewan is located in the northern part of the central flyway and harbors huge numbers of migrating ducks and geese. Canada moose and black bear are plentiful. Hundreds of outfitters are available to provide whatever kind of hunt a guy or gal needs.
