Reviewer Comments: I took a 133 buck with a forked brow tine. Quite honestly, I probably could have done better and it was my fault because the buck I took just plain fooled me; I thought he was 150 or better.Nevertheless, he is a handsome animal and I'm happy with him.You hunt on stands over cut lines and have from 3 to 5 seconds to size up an animal and make your decision, but that's hunting and in no way am I being critical of the outfitter. One of the guys in our group took a "slammer" that scored 163 and interestingly, he had no idea how big the deer really was when the shot was taken! As far as the experience of the guides, it's hard to say because they merely drop you off and tell you to give them a call if you get too cold, or take an animal. But you are given a satellite phone and a "body bag" in the event that it is really cold (in the morning it was around -5F and would go to 10 or 15F during the day). But having said all this, someone does some good scouting because the stands are well positioned and everyone saw game. Accomodations and food were fine and more than satisfactory.All in all, a good hunting trip and well worth the money.

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.
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.
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.
