Outfitter reports from clients who have hunted with these guides
While a lot of us were still recovering from the holiday hustle and bussel Cory Glauner, Marc Warnke and Trevor Brittingham of Outdoors International are in South Texas on a Whitetail Deer Hunt for some fun as well as testing their Kryptek Gear in some different country. The first morning proved to be a rather [...]
Arizona Strip hunt report from our Arizona mule deer Outfitter With the mule deer bucks on the Arizona Strip (Unit 13B) now being in the full rut, we had some great deer activity with lots and lots of deer being seen on this hunt. We were being picky because there was plenty of time to [...]
The Arizona Strip is arguably the best mule deer hunting area. Mule deer bucks over 200″ B&C are taken EVERY year on the Arizona Strip, but hunters usually have to wait a decade or longer to hunt mule deer on the Arizona Strip. The success rate in the draw is 1%. Don’t gamble your success [...]
I’m writing this article with duty in mind to fellow hunters in telling them about which Outfitters to avoid when booking a hunt. Our story begins with a good relationship with Larry Bryant of Kamchatka Russia Fly Fishing. He was our “eyes on the ground” in Kyrgyzstan for our Ibex and Marco Polo hunts. We [...]
Wanted to send a few pics of my trophy (not that I am still excited about it or anything), and thank you for the great experience of elk hunting Colorado that I had at your lodge…. You both are super hosts; have super guides (at least our two were); and obviously some premium hunting territory; [...]

There isn’t much to say about these elk hunting photos other than WOW!!! Check out these incredible bulls that one of our Outfitters took during the 2011 Arizona elk hunting season. The pictures speak for themselves. What an incredible season. Here’s what he had to say: … the Good Lord has blessed us with some [...]
One of our clients just got an archery Oregon elk. His first bull ever. He and his father were hunting with one of our elk hunting Outfitters in Oregon. Congratulations John! It’s exciting this time of year when our clients and Outfitters are sending us their photos and stories. Keep ‘em coming guys! Here’s what [...]
“[...] my long awaited trip to northern Alberta to hunt free range Bison was a resounding success. After several days of scouting the Alberta bush, day 4 dawned with some fast action and a Bison double on the ground. During the hunt we also saw numerous Black Bear & Lynx, along with Wolf & Wolverine. [...]
One of our hunters just got back from another successful wilderness, horseback mountain lion hunt. Conditions were rough because there was no snow. They rode lots of miles on the horses, but never could cut a fresh track on the dry ground. They found a lot of kills, but they were mostly wolf kills. Wolves [...]
Here is a recent elk hunting review of one of our O.I. Approved Outfitters. Bob Luna and Colorado Hunting Expeditions provided the opportunity for my first bull. I took this 6×6 on the second morning of the first rifle season. The lodge is beautifully spacious, Terri’s meals are first class, and the fellowship is world [...]
There is nothing like the first hard hunt of the season after the long winter months here in Idaho… the chance to get out, stretch your legs, and take in that mountain air. My opportunity came last month when co-worker, Marc Warnke, and I needed to visit one of our outfitters for some Idaho turkey [...]
I hunted two years ago I went on my first African Safari and the PH has kept in touch and baited me with the opportunity of South Africa Lion Hunting. I eventually took the bait and in the end booked myself and both of my sons for the trip to South Africa. When hunting the [...]
Our Alaska Mountain Goat Hunting Outfitter sent us his year end Alaska Mountain Goat Hunt Report: Hi All, The Alaska goat hunting season is over and was 100% success. We had hunters from Italy, Hungary, and Norway. (By way of Texas) This year was very smooth and all of the goats were scouted and patterned [...]
2010 Mexico Mule Deer Hunt by David Pereda “I think we might have messed up. I can’t get rid of these butterflies I got in my stomach thinking about that buck.” “Really? You think we should have shot him?” It was now dark on the first day of my client’s Mexico Mule Deer hunt and [...]
by Fiona McConchie I recently went Texas exotic hunting. Marc set me up on a great hunt at an incredible hunting lodge and I stayed and hunted for two weeks. For most of the hunt I sat in a blind, but on this day, instead of sitting in a hide my guide (Teddy) and I [...]
Illinois whitetail hunt review of M&M Outfitters by Steve Lewellen There are weeks where everything in the woods seems to come to life. This happens twice a year, once with the first warm day of spring and the other the peak of the rut. Everything seemed to come together the week of Nov 15. Steve [...]
We have heard that the green score on this mountain lion, depending how much it shrinks could be the new #1 record Nevada mountain lion. This monster weighed 188 lbs.! Nevada has some incredible mountain lion hunting. It is kind of a sleeper, and the Outfitter that we use goes above and beyond to try [...]
Free Range Mexico Desert Bighorn Sheep Hunt by David R. Pereda Hey, look hard to your left, I can see the one ram now and he’s staring right at us! Oh man, and he’s really, really, CLOSE! It was day 4 of the desert bighorn sheep hunt and after 3 tough days of hiking and [...]
Here is a report just in from one of our Outfitter Partners in Alaska. They’re Spring 2010 Alaska Brown Bear Hunting season was a complete success.

Here is another great hunt review for our Kansas Whitetail Outfitter, Twin Lakes Trophy Hunting. If you’ve ever even thought about hunting in Kansas, this is the guy for you. John of Twin Lakes Trophy Hunting is a down to earth guy and a bowhunter’s hunter. The facilities are great and there are deer everywhere; [...]
Most hunters are well aware of the world class deer and elk hunting found in Arizona but very few hunters realize that Arizona is home to a great population of record book size black bear. Arizona black bears tend to run slightly smaller in body size than their northern counterparts but what they may lack [...]
Here is a hunt review for our Kansas Whitetail Outfitter, Twin Lakes Trophy Hunting: John of Twin Lakes Trophy Hunting in Kansas has some truly exceptional whitetail hunting areas, there is no doubt about that. But what impressed me as much as his world class habitat was his genuine down to earth attitude. From the [...]
I just wanted to drop you a line for a Nevada mountain lion hunt review and let you know about the wonderful mountain lion hunt my partner and I had in Nevada mountain lion hunting with Lee. It was a fantastic hunt from start to finish. We could have had better weather (worse weather really), [...]
Well I am back home after some incredible Tahr hunting in New Zealand. Certainly Tahr hunting is one of the toughest things you will ever do, but there is something about it that draws you in, and one thing is for sure; you will go back and do it again, as I will. I chose to hunt public land (Department of Conservation or DoC) as this is a much cheaper option than a private land hunt, albeit the tougher option… [Read the rest...]
Kansas turkey hunt by: Mike North, South Dakota I wanted to send you a note of “Thanks” for the extra special care you took of Mark & me on our Kansas turkey hunt. I know that we posed somewhat of a challenge for you. It’s not often that you have two guys come on a [...]

Elk hunt report from our Idaho Wilderness Elk Outfitter: First hunter (Greg) was a bit excited and missed a mature 6×6, then on his second opportunity two days later, shot and hit a mature bull, however was not a clean hit, but my spotter confirmed that he was hit well and looked like he was [...]
My opinion was that overall this was a great Idaho archery hunt. We did not see alot of Elk but they were bugling everyday. It was a two on one hunt and both of us scored good animals, mine went about 300 and my friend shot about a 250 class elk. The weather was warm [...]
This was an unbelievable hunt! I had a great time. The mountain lion hunt consisted of driving road in a truck and on a snowmobile looking for tracks. We saw tracks each day. 1st day the track had been snowed in and was not too hot. The 2nd day the track was a female with [...]
Opening day of mule deer and Idaho elk combo season, October 10th 2009 outside Grangeville, Idaho was a memorable one. Earlier this year I was invited by a good friend of mine Dave Suder to join him and 12 of his employees and clients for a mule deer and elk hunt. Leaving Ketchum, Idaho on [...]
by John Carlson It was already dark when my wife answered the satellite call, “Hello! Did you get one?” As I replied, “Yes! It’s a beautiful silvertip.” My voice cracked, my knees buckled, and tears filled my eyes. All of the emotions and fatigue hit at that moment. I really don’t remember much more of [...]
Submitted by Joe Omara While hunting moose in northern British Columbia this past fall I was able to do the most exciting stalk of my life! Right into the center of a herd of moose! The day began as normal – busting my butt climbing a steep ridge trying to keep up to my guide, [...]
On the third day of my November mule deer hunt, we were working our way to a glassing point when below us elk started to bark (alert) there was more barking below and to the right also. We sat down to see if we could glass up the elk & hopefully a bull (I had [...]
Last spring, one of our Outfitter Partners put trail cameras on their bear baits. They had six baits out and there were cameras on all six. It was kind of like Christmas every day because they would upload the new pictures every morning. It was a lot of fun watching the different bears. We tried [...]
Just back from guiding a successful mountain lion hunt in Big Creek. Shane and I found a fresh kill on the first evening. The mountain lion had just killed a cow elk minutes before we got there and drug it down to the ice by the creek. It was snowing hard, and when we found [...]
Cody R. returned from fighting for us over-seas and got this humongous mountain lion while hunting with one of our outfitter partners. They weren’t able to get the cougar to a scale as they were in the back country, but estimated him close to 200 pounds. Amazingly, he had a small head and didn’t make [...]
by Marc Warnke As seen in the July/August 2007 issue of the Mule Deer Foundation Magazine I am a committed bowhunter and during last year’s Alberta moose hunt with my good friend Mike White, I saw some gagger muleys that I just couldn’t keep out of my mind. Mike owns Legend Outfitting and I’ve been [...]
We just received this Hunter Report from an Alaska vessel based black bear hunt. “We hunted coastal black bear in Alaska in September 2010 from a vessel. We each shot our bear and had a wonderful time. Our hunting guide did a great job. The scenery was worth the price of admission and it was [...]
This report just came in from an archery Alaska mountain goat hunt. In 2009 I hunted mountain goat with Otto in Alaska. They did a very nice job with organization and have an excellent staff that is very knowledgeable and work very hard for you. To be able to handle this goat hunt, gun or [...]
by Tony Arpaia One again I found myself in Alaska hunting with Outdoors International Approved Outfitter, Otto Kulm of PM Guide Service.

Alaska Vessel Based Black Bear Hunt » “I booked a black bear hunt with my dad and had a great time. The boat was comfortable and there was plenty of wildlife to see. We saw plenty of bears and we both shot bears that squared 7′-0″! The outfitter and guides do a great job and [...]
Marco Polo hunting is, to me the pinnacle of sheep hunting. This short Outfitter Report is from our Kyrgyzstan outfitter. He has had a very successful season so far for Ibex, Marco Polo sheep, and Russian Brown Bear hunts in Kamchatka. He also guides incredible fishing trips in Russia during the summer. Another one my [...]
This is the first year we have offered this antelope hunt and one of our Hunting Consultants went down in late October and checked it out for us. He and his cousin had a great time and we’ve since added this new hunt to our directory as an “O.I. Approved Hunt”. Doak’s exact words were: [...]
Alaska brown bear hunting can be very dangerous. This hunt gets super dicey when the brown bear charges the hunter and his guide. “At 20-25 yards I could finally see the charging brown bear clearly, mouth open, teeth exposed,…. the Outfitter yelled, “Shooooootttt” and I shouldered my 7mag and pulled the trigger, “Crack” went the centerfire, I loaded again and pulled the trigger again, the 7 mag barked again and his forward progress was slowed quite a bit….” [Read the rest...]
By Doak Worley Some of you may have noticed that I have been silent with my blog for a few months. This is the time of the year that I have to work to pay for my hunting and fishing addiction. I am a professional Chef and do cooking demonstrations during the summer months. I [...]
These huge Alberta whitetail sheds were found near the Peace River area. We just happen to have an Outfitter up there that we work with. Check out his whitetail deer hunts, and yes he’ll let you hunt for sheds too.
A Huge 400 inch B&C Arizona Elk by David Pereda This has to be the worst Arizona elk season of all time. No big bulls. No rutting. I wonder if I can get a refund on my tag? I can’t believe I just wasted my bonus points for this. What does an elk look like [...]
Here’s a little note and some pictures from one of our Musky Guides in Northern Wisconsin: The big predator fish have been on the prowl and last year saw several nice fish come into our clutches. I’ll not candy coat it and say it was easy…lots of casting, lots of positive mental energy…did I say [...]
Very few hunting destinations can offer the quality mule deer, coues deer, and desert bighorn sheep hunting found in Old Mexico, specifically the state of Sonora. Many bucks and rams grow old and die here without ever having set eyes on a human being much less having a bullet fired at them. Opportunities for world [...]
Our Mexico Mule Deer Outfitter sent us this post season report: We did good last year and had some horrid weather. We hunted 3 full days out of 2 weeks due to the unreal wind and rain. Here are pics of my favorite buck we killed down there this year. 30″ wide and scores 182 [...]

One of our Featured Mountain Lion Outfitters guided a client to this big tom last week. It was a six year old tom weighing in at 165lb. The track was in sugar snow so it took a while for the hounds to get it going. After the dogs closed in on him he ran in [...]
The 2008 South Dakota pheasant season was an interesting one. Our Featured Outfitter recently sent us some of their pics from the season so far as well as some information. The report is that there are tons of birds, but conditions have been fairly tough. Most of the corn is still standing due to high [...]
This nice 300 class bull elk was tagged last week by one of our hunters. The hunt this year was extremely tough and we had to pull out all the stops to plan a spot and stalk. I was able to get into the area about 1.5-2 hours ahead of our hunters to test the [...]

Our New Brunswick outfitter had his first black bear hunt in his new hunting area (zone 10) this week. The hunter saw four bears on a three day hunt. He bagged a 405 lb. boar that will easily make both Pope and Young and Boone and Crockett with his Mathews bow and Muzzy broadhead. Amazingly, [...]

From our Alberta Outfitter: “Hello everybody, we had a great opening day, Mickey Layman shot a huge 195 1/2 B&C yesterday. The buck sports 2 non-typical points totalling 30 inches.” We still have two hunts available for this hunt. I can’t believe they’re not gone yet. If you’re interested, learn more about this awesome whitetail [...]
Sheep Hunt #1: Idaho Bighorn Sheep hunting has been a challenge this year due to all of the smoke from forest fires. We (Cory and Jess) hunted in the smoke for seven days before finding a ram for our first hunter. He wasn’t huge, but we figured he would go about 160 or so. We [...]
Our first South Dakota pheasant hunt of the season was a success! We had eight hunters mostly from Vail, Colorado, including Chuck’s cousin and two nephews. We got our limit of birds every day. Ninety birds in three days! AWESOME! The corn is still standing, so it is bound to just get better once it [...]
See this story in the Summer 2008 Issue of Trophy Hunter Magazine As with all stories, this one starts with a simple impulse. On April 30th, 2007 I was in the Driggs Idaho Corner Drug store getting what I hoped to be the summer supply of allergy medicine for my 6th summer in Teton Valley [...]
South Dakota is experiencing historically high pheasant numbers. Brood count surveys by the South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Department estimated that statewide, this year’s pheasant population was 23 percent higher than last year’s and 18 percent greater than the 2005 pheasant population, which was at a 40-year high. Nick Cochran, a conservation officer with [...]
Chuck drew a coveted Shiras Moose tag in Idaho. Due to some health problems, he couldn’t make it for the opener, so he had to schedule his hunt a little later. By the time he flew into the hunting area, elk hunters had a camp set up in the main moose hunting area. They hunted [...]
We just recieved the following email from our Outfitter in South Dakota: The 2007 pheasant nesting season has been a tremendous success. Numerous large coveys of various sized young birds are noted and we anticipate further progression for a highly successful hunting season. We have spent most of the spring and summer on habitat – [...]

Pheasant Hunting A string of mild winters has helped ringnecked pheasants.Add in the Conservation Reserve Program, which has put about 3.3 million acres of nesting habitat on the states landscape, and you have the ingredients necessary to increase not only pheasant numbers, but also their range. However, things change and so does the states pheasant [...]
Idaho spring black bear hunting this past spring was quite an adventure. We had above average snow pack this winter and the creeks were raging. As you can see, it ended up getting us in some trouble.
