Reviewer Comments: Eric was late in picking us in High Level, we had booked a fly in hunt but at the last minute Eric changed it to a 4x4 hunt. His guides as well as himselve have never hunted the area before. We had to set up the camp for him, he had no cook,, had no idea where to look for any Moose, we just drove and walked around for days without any sigh. The area he hunts has alot of resident indian pressure and I mean alot! There were several days were he left and went to town to get food and supplies leaaving us a guide short. He also left to pick up the next client and placed him in camp early thus giving up hunting time for us. I have complained and asked for a refund and complained to the APOS to no avail. This guy should not be an outfitter!!

Reviewer Comments: Eric and his guide(s) worked hard to put me on active baits where they new of good bears hitting the baits. This was my first bear hunt and I was lucky enough to take two nice boars. Eric takes a limited number of hunters and he and his guides work hard to make the week one to remember.

Reviewer Comments: ERIC DUMPED US OFF ON ATHABASCA RIVER OUTIFFERS AT THE LAST MOMENT. ERIC BOOKED THE HUNT 16 MONTHS IN ADVANCE AND TOLD US IN WOULD BE A GREAT HUNT, HE HAS SCOUTED SOME BIG DEER. THE GUIDE HE PROVIDED HAD ONLY BEEN IN THE AREA WE HUNTED 5 DAYS BEFORE WE ARRIVED. HE DID A VERY POOR JOB SCOUTING. WE SEEN VERY FEW DEER. THE CAMP THAT ATHABASCA RIVER OUTFITTERS PROVIDED WAS EXCELLANT ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE HUNT WE WERE THROWN OUT OF THE TRAILER BEHIND THE QUAD. BECAUSE THE GUIDE WAS DRIVING TO FAST ON THE TRAIL THE HUNT WENT DOWN HILL FROM THERE. DONT BOOK A DEER HUNT WITH ERIC GRINNELL IF YOU KNOW WHATS GOOD FOR YOU

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.
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.
