SUPER HUNT
WE HAD A SUPER HUNT. MY BUDDY AND I BOOKED THIS HUNT A YEAR AGO AND WERE VERY EXCITED ABOUT HEADING TO NORTHERN MICHIGAN. MY BUDDY AND I BOTH DID MISS OUR BUCKS, MINE BEING A 130 CLASS 3.5 YO. AND MY BUDDIES BEING A 150 class 4.5 yo 8point. they had super ground to hunt, food plots, very little corn though. we seen tons of deer every time out. i have been on 4 different hunts in the past, this one was very well worth the money. $900 was the cost, stayed in a motel in town, less then 5min away.
Outfitter Response: CHRIS, THANKS FOR THE GREAT REVIEW. I AIM TO PLEASE... THANKS FOR THE REFFERALS IN THE PAST!

Bear Hunt
All seven hunters were very disappointed one sow and a cub was all we saw out of 30 hunts. He tells you that he will put you on an active bait pile but the bait piles were untouched. We were given a lot of excuses about the weather to me it was a normal September 45 at night and 65 to 70 during the day. He has a reputation with locals for big money and no results. We paid 1250.00 a person for nothing. DO NOT GO HEAR YOU WILL NOT SEE NOTHING AND PAY BIG BUCKS FOR NOTHING HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING.
Outfitter Response: well tim , if you would stop smoking your pot in the blind you may seen something. your the type of person that no matter what,, you wont be happy.! WHY IS IT SOME OF THE HUNTERS CAME BACK AND WERE HAPPY WITH THEIR HUNTS! DAN

super hunt
The owner Dan was our guide. This guy taught us tricks we never thought about doing. I would say he is one of the best guides we have ever used.We have hunted from illinois to texas, He is very good at what he does. Michigan is very much a big buck state. we all seen or missed mega giants(150 class) with thunder river outfitters. Dan did work his tail off for us, it is well worth the price we paid. we have already put our deposits in for next season. not only are there good racks, but the deer are very very big. well over 250lbs,seen well over 200 deer while there for 5 days!
Outfitter Response: LOVED HAVING YOU GUYS IN!... YOUR MORE THEN WELCOMED TO COME BACK ANYTIME... HAD A TON OF FUN!

Great Hunt
Used to think that Michigan was a "sleeper" state. THEY GOT BIG BUCKS!!! Outfitters was very knowledgable and friendly. Accomodations were great. Food was great. Stands were placed appropriately. HAve hunted in other states and found this guide and outfitter to be at par. Will definately be going back. Only down side was the windy conditions, which the outfitter had no control over. Overall a great hunt.

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.
New Mexico Hunting Information
New Mexico is one of the top destinations for trophy Elk and Antelope hunting. Draw odds can be tough depending on the unit but landowner tags are also available for those who don't draw. Mule Deer are plentiful but generally of average size. Only a couple of units and reservations consistently produce big muleys.
British Columbia Hunting Information
British Columbia is an excellent hunting destination that offers a wide variety of game species. 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. Hunters can book a hunt with an outfitter and avoid the license drawing process common in most U.S. states.
