Misguided
I hunted with Chris David when he was operating Canada West Outfitters. He lied from the beginning to the end. We were whitetail hunting and out of four people no one killed a thing. He was showing pictures of deer being killed, and claimed they were from our area. The pictures were older than the dates he claimed. He agreed to give a moose deposit back, and he never would return the money. He is a pathological LIAR. He showed a deer he claimed he guided the year before, and he jacked the picture from a Jim Shockey forum. Never trust his lies. He has a lie to back up a lie.

Reviewer Comments: I was and the key word here is was, a booking agent for Mountain Country Outfitters. The person we ere in direct contact with representing Mountain Country Outfitters was Lain Roth. We only represented their hunts for an extremely short time because with the very first and only hunter we sent them Lain Roth d.b.a. Mountain Country Outfitters stiffed us for our commission after telling me personally a couple of different times that he had actually mailed our commission check of $680.00 so we know as a fact that he will flat out lie to you personally. Beware hunters, if he is dishonest with his booking agents can you trust him to be honest with his hunters. Be sure you check out his only other review here. Beware.

Reviewer Comments: Not one promise was kept with this hunt. I have been on at least 20 + guided hunts from Africa to all over Canada and US. This was the worst hunt I have ever experienced. Stayed in low rate motel 2 hours each way from hunting area. Road hunted for 12 hours a day + round trip of 4 hours to and from hunt area. Spent 16 hours a day for a week in old pick up that we had minor problems with. I would not take this hunt for free. Ate meals mostly out of convience stores when we got gas. All meals were to be home made and was promised to stay in a cabin on hunting area. Never saw a cabin or had a home cooked meal. Paid for my own food. The guide did not know the area at all and had never hunted there himself. A very disappointing experience. Never wrote before about hunts and as any hunter knows, they don't always go as planned but this hunt was worth telling others about. The story can go on but readers do have a idea of what to expect if you choose this outfitter.

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.
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.
