Reviewer Comments: Wow, awesome! There was game everywhere, including some GREAT elk and exotics. Great accomodations, food, and personel. I'm partially disabled and the personel went the extra mile to make sure I had a fun and successful hunt. I could have ended my hunt the first night with really nice animals, but held out because I wanted to hunt more. I saw many bigger animals but chose to harvest a very unique 130 class half typical and half non-typical buck and a huge boar.

Reviewer Comments: Went weekend of July 12.What a hunt.The place is very green,it was hot,and the animals were wild and elusive.We hunted for a 40"+ Gemsbok for 2 days.Got a shot at 8:45 p.m. at 250 yds. and missed.On the 3rd day we saw the top horn of a huge Fallow sticking out of a 4ft. high grass field at about 400 yds.Stalked to within 50 yds. but he spooked and ran off without a shot.Went in for lunch and went back out.Saw the Fallow standing under a tree and got a 120 yd. shot.Shot and connected on a monster 23 pt. Fallow that was the biggest I've ever seen.Weighed 225 lbs. and will score very high in the record book.This was a very hard but rewarding hunt.You will never go on a better hunt or hunt with a better guide than Chris McDaniel.Also saw a Whitetail on this trip that would score 180+.I would recommend this hunt to real hunters that want to bag a true trophy Whitetail or exotic.

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.
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.
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.
