Reviewer Comments: Went on a bear hunt in 2004. Mike is very knowledgeable and is a nice person, along with his wife. The cabins were very nice. There is a lake right at camp with some fishing (just ok). We went to some rivers and caught landlocked salmon. I shot a 165# bear the second night. Mike takes his operation very seriously and has a set of rules for the hunters. You can't smoke on stand or anything like that. Do what he says and you will have a shot at a bear. 15 guys shot 15 bears the week I was there. Biggest was 342# shot by my uncle. They take care of everything after you shoot it. They carry it out of the woods on a strecher. My dad took my brother back in '06 and he shot a bear. Highly recommend Loon Lodge. Wish I wasn't in college or I would go back every year.

New Mexico Hunting Information
New Mexico is one of the top destinations for trophy Elk and Antelope hunting. Draw odds can be tough depending on the unit but landowner tags are also available for those who don't draw. Mule Deer are plentiful but generally of average size. Only a couple of units and reservations consistently produce big muleys.
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.
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.
