Huge Disappointment

Doug Gattis had a lease to 160 acres that had a ranch, construction garage, motorcycle riders, target shooters and two tree stands he baits. His ATVs were broke, so I had to return home to get mine to access "good" adjacent BLM land, where moutain bike riders and their dogs went through the stand set up. He doesn't quite know how to use his game cameras as well. He does have lots of "old stories" and mounts in his house to impress you. Do not expect to spot and stalk, still hunt, a drive/push hunt, or any alternative except to be driven to a stand each day, and for him to scratch his head and tell you he has never seen anything like this before. I saw some does, and a few yearling bucks which were marginally legal in seven days of ideal rut conditions. Accommodations were average, food sub par, but I could care less about either of those things. I had applied for eight years before receiving this coveted Blacktail tag and saved two years for a guide. I expect a guide to work and prepare as hard as I do, but this is not the case with Doug Gattis and Southern Oregon Gamebusters. Because Doug would not provide me a contract after I sent a deposit, I had no recourse when I filed a complaint with the Oregon Marine Board. He said he knew I was disappointed in the hunt when I left. I wonder why?

Vast wilderness areas and pristine coastlines provide world class adventure hunting for those seeking that trip of a lifetime. BC is arguably best known for big coastal black bears, Canada moose, grizzly bear, mountain lion, Dall sheep and Stone sheep.

Alberta Hunting Information

Alberta is a large, diverse province with rolling prairies, farmland, river bottoms, Boreal forests, and large expanses of the northern Rocky Mountains. Many species of big game, waterfowl, upland game and predators inhabit Alberta. Long known for monster whitetails, Alberta also is home to big mule deer, pronghorn antelope, elk, black bear, cougar, Canada moose, and bighorn sheep. In fact, 7 of the 10 largest bighorn sheep in Boone and Crockett record book are from Alberta. In addition to big game, Alberta offers some top notch bird hunting. Serious waterfowlers know about the large flocks of ducks and geese that call Alberta home or migrate through.

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.
