Reviewer Comments: Highly recommend this outfitter. This part of Saskatchewan has it all, quantity, quality and the chance to shoot a booner. This was my second year at TRWO and I have taken 2 very nice bucks. Two years ago (2005) was a beautiful symetrical 10 pointer, last year November 2006 I took a 151+ mainframe 12 point with a nice 4" kicker off the right main beam (13pt the redneck way). Seen no horns on the first day but the next 2 days I seen 13 different bucks and settled on the 12 pointer late on the 3rd day. Other bucks seen were a beautiful high 130" 8 pointer and a beautiful non-typical with a droptine, which I might have shot after looking at him more on video, plus many other smaller up and coming bucks. We had 5 guys in camp and everyone filled thier tag. Our week average was middle 140's.

Reviewer Comments: This was the second time I hunted with this outfitter, but this year it was a different owner. And all I have to say is that Richard did an excellent job during his first year running this outfitter. He worked hard to get every one of his hunters a good, quality whitetail deer. He and his guide Dwayne know exactly what they are doing. They told us that they wanted us to get a deer more than we wanted to get one ourselves. That is no lie. They are very hard workers and not only that, they are very good, honest people. Richard's wife Kathy did all the cooking and other camp stuff and she was just unbelieveable. She, too, is a very, very hard worker. She was non-stop in the kitchen preparing food and snacks. They are all just very good people. I considered them to be family/friends during my time with them. I plan on hunting with them again.

Reviewer Comments: This was my Seventh hunt in Saskatchewan and I shot a 155in 10 point whitetail, my highest score yet,I saw 16 different bucks, several nice 9 pointers, the best thing I liked about the hunt was the area and no other hunters were around,lots of action,I saw two moose,the bait stations had a lot of activity,the food and accomidation were great. The outfitter is very knowledgable and is a skilled woodsmen when it comes to whitetail hunting. I would highly recomend this hunt.
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.
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.
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.
