North Texas Rio Grande Turkey with Hogs
We booked a turkey hunt with Richards Ranch after my older sister saw Ron Spomer hunt deer there on Versus. Without a doubt, this was one of the best hunting vacations we've ever had. The drive from DFW was more than easy, the accomodations were tremendously comfrotable, and the food was plentiful and very, very good. (The cook went out of her way to accomodate my food allergy). Opening morning, my wife and I both tagged Rio's due to the superb calling skills of our guides. The rest of the hunt was after feral hogs, and again we were sucessful. The last evening, we simply rode around the ranch with our guide, enjoying the Texas scenery and wildlife. We will be back!

Nice wide mature buck.
I didn't land one of the many 125-160 Deer showing up on cam during shooting hours the previous week, but I did get an 18" inside 9 point. Beautiful mature 5.5+ year Deer, just had broken right G2 and overall short tines. Brent is great, made me feel at home on his 100+ year family ranch. My guide Shannon did everything right, he had to work hard. The hidden secret may be the food! It was first class. My cabin was nice queen bed, heat/AC, kitchenette, shower, and cable TV. The lodge is cozy to sip a single malt or Lonestar in front of the fire bench hunting with the guys. The hunting is low fence on 15k acres. It is true fair chase, but with management tags you can hunt rifle in October or January like I did. This is the place to go if looking for a solid (most typicals) 125-150 Whitetail. They have a pretty high opportunity rate for this. For example, Tommy Hunter took one, but Cliff Lee decided to pass on a few looking for something bigger and ended up not taking one. I wouldn't expect to shoot a 160+ Deer, but they do have them and they have been shot in the past. This is just a good reliable place to get a 125-150, a doe, and a hog all part of the package. They also do a bunch of business for just hogs, turkey, and upland.

Manitoba Hunting Information
Manitoba is known as a top destination for avid waterfowl hunters. Huge flocks of ducks and geese can be found from the Arctic coast of Hudson Bay to the prairie potholes on the southern border of this Canadian province. There is no legal requirement for non-resident waterfowl hunters to use a guide, but many are available and a high percentage of non-Canadian hunters utilize them. In addition black bear, Canada moose and whitetails are hunted throughout the province.
Yukon Territory Hunting Information
The Yukon Territory is a legendary hunting destination. Hunters from all over the world travel to the Yukon for wilderness adventure hunting at its finest. This rugged, remote and beautiful province is nearly untouched by man. It is similar in size to the state of California but with a population of only about 30,000 residents. The Yukon is a vast, pristine wilderness that holds a tremendous variety of trophy game species. You should be in excellent physical condition to maximize your success and to enjoy the Yukon experience.
Oregon Hunting Information
Oregon is not known to be a trophy big game producing state. That said they do have good quantities of animals such as Elk.
