Reviewer Comments: I initially contacted Troy in '04 for an '05 moose hunt after a recommendation. The area he was hunting went to a draw and I was unsuccessful in drawing a tag so we talked about waiting until '06 or another hunt. I decided to hunt Dall sheep after checking his references for that species. I wanted to hunt the opening 10 days of the season but Troy already had another hunter lined up. He arranged for another registered guide, Shawn Stone (Greatland Outfitters), to guide me. Shawn worked with Troy at another outfit when they were both starting out. I checked out Shawn's references too and was likewise satisfied. This was a very physically demanding hunt and in the end it was successful. Troy's other client was also successful. I can say that my communication with Troy and Shawn before the hunt, during the hunt and after the hunt was great; and, they both talked to me about any concern I had. I still talk to Troy on occassion and would have no problem recommending either him or Shawn.

Reviewer Comments: I originally booked a moose hunt through Kitchel's Alaska Guide Service. Unfortunately, Troy's moose area had just went to a draw and I was not successful in drawing a permit. So, I decided to go on a Dall Sheep hunt. Troy already had someone booked for his 1st sheep hunt (August 10th), which is when I wanted to go. In order to accomodate me Troy contacted his friend, Shawn Stone of Greatland Outfitters, to serve as my guide. Troy and Shawn have known each other a number of years having worked together as assistants for another outfitter. Troy and Shawn are both first class guys. They are experienced, hard working, fun to be around and motivated to get you the best opportunity. I would not hesitate to use either of them again.

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.
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.
