Reviewer Comments: Was reccommended by a "friend". Turned out all the "guides" were guys who had hunted the week before and were now earning their hunt. All we hunted was the same two propeties and only 3 hours in the am and 3 hours in the PM. 1 4 wheel vehicle for 6 clients and 3 then 2 then 1 guide. had to use one of clients trucks to transport us. Come last day of hunt Trent had to leave at 12 but made sure he collected his money before he left. Then you were own your own. Don't waste your time or your hard earned money. Gates Outfitters and his co outfitter whose name escapes me are some OK Rio guides that really want your business. I am sure their are other but Southbound is not one.

Reviewer Comments: I hunted with Trent this 2002 season. I did not harvest anything, but my son took a nice doe and could of taken a small basket rack buck but passed on it. We did see a shooter buck, but it was too far. My buddy passed on a nice 115 class 8 ptr looking for something bigger. He was great with my son and myself. The other two guys in camp should of been 100%, one Kid took a super 130+ class 8 ptr and the father missed on a bigger one on the last day. Trent hunted with the kid all the time and got him on a nice deer. Trent is a great guy that tries his hardest to get you on deer and have a good time. He has great hunting instincts in knowing were deer could be. He knows the land well. Yes, Trent has some modifications that he needs to do to take his hunting to another level and I am sure that he is working on that this year. Based on my experience, this is not a place that is loaded with deer. But it does have some quality bucks on the property. I guess it just depends on what you are looking for. If you want to see alot of deer, may not be the place, but if you are looking for a shot at a trophy buck with a modest price tag, this is a place that you can possibly find one.

Reviewer Comments: not near enough land. we were told we would see bucks in the 130-140 class and if we could hold out we could possibly take a 170 type buck (yeah right). we saw three bucks in three days total between two of us, two babies and a 115 buck that i shot. although, trent shot at a big buck while we were there and his sons killed a couple does while hunting over feeders while we were there.

Reviewer Comments: Trent is a REALLY NICE guy and he tries to deliver a good hunt. But his hunts suffer from a lack of experience, stands and land. His website is marketed well, but it doesn't really reflect a true picture of the actual hunting. While he has 4000 acres to hunt, he had very few stands up. Even with only 3 hunters, there were not enough stands for you to hunt a "fresh" stand if the one you were assigned wasn't producing. What stands he had were either in poor condition,not located very well or not secure. Stand location was great for smaller bucks and does, but not for trophy bucks. Also, his 4000 acres is actually several smaller parcels of land. There is hunting pressure on surrounding properties which may explain the lack of trophy bucks spotted. We hunted 3 straight days(all day long) during the pre-rut and only one decent buck was spotted(approx.135-140 class). One guy took a 100 class buck on the last day because he didn't want to drive the 16 hr drive home empty-handed. Other than that, only a few 100 class bucks and numerous does were spotted. I only took the hunt because Trent told me that he expected to harvest several B&C deer this season and that he had 6 bucks patterned that would score over 140! Trent is a honest man and I still believe he has that type of quality in his area, but I think it's going to take 2-3 years before his operation is producing as promised. If you want to hunt Oklahoma trophy deer with an experienced outfitter, try Mt. Hide Outfitters. They are a class act and well worth the money!

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.
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.
Quebec Hunting Information
Quebec is probably best know as an excellent caribou hunting destination. Hunters from across the globe travel to Quebec to hunt their big Quebec-Labrador caribou migration. In addition to caribou hunting, Quebec offers black bears, Canada moose and whitetails.
