WALT KIRBY hunted with us in early February and was pleased to
get this beautiful tom on the third day of his hunt.

JIM LAWRENCE of Goodrich, MI, came to Alberta to get in on his
first cougar hunt. He had some bad luck on his initial hunt. He
made his second try of the season in early February and his
persistence was rewarded with this exceptional cat.
|
JIM McDOWELL of Howell, MI, like his partner above and also
came back again in February, we caught up with this great 176 lb
tom a few days later.

Outfitters don't always get as many chances to hunt as they
would like. This year Gordon was happy to take this beautiful
blonde bear on the last day of the spring season with a 140 grain
Barnes
X bullet from his .280 Remington.
|
CHRIS SPEAKMAN, is a taxidermist in Chillicothe, OH. He came
to Alberta in search of a "respectable representative" of the
pronghorn species to mount full-size. He was rewarded with this
heavy, long pronged buck!
|
JURGEN KOCH and WERNER MOSER came all the way from Germany to
harvest these two nice antelope.
|
JOHN KERRIDGE of Pahiatua, New Zealand, took this Shiras bull
moose on the second day of his hunt.
John was also lucky enough to put his tag on this nice
mountain mule deer buck a couple of days later. He took both
animals using a .280 Remington with 140 grain Barnes X
bullets.
|
TIM and SUSAN FALLON of Barksville, TX, joined us in October.
We connected at the Safari Club International Convention a couple
years ago and made plans to hunt together.
It's twice the fun when we guide a husband and wife and this
hunt was no exception!
We started out on the prairies getting an antelope for Tim in
the first few days. The girls hunted long and hard before Susan
connected on this heavy horned buck.

We finished up their hunt with a trip to the mountains and a
Alberta Shiras moose for Tim. 
We also found time for a little wingshooting over "Buster",
the German Shorthair Pointer pup we brought home with us from the
NE Michigan SCI fundraiser last April.
|
DAVID ARTHUR of St. Charles, MO, made a great shot on the
first morning of his hunt to get himself this terrific 5 X 5
muley.
|
ROSS JACKSON of Golden, CO, hiked a few hills and coulees
before he scored on this nice muley buck. He's looking forward to
coming back to find the "one that got away"!
|
CLAYTON SMITH of Reno, NV, knew he had reason to celebrate
when he took this long-tined "classic" 4X4 in a prairie coulee.
This is one of three big muleys going to our Nevada hunters this
season!
Clay also tagged his first whitetail buck earlier in the week.
|

GARY FURMAN of Reno, NV took this whitetailed
deer a half hour into the first morning of his hunt. He was also
fortunate enough to connect on this fine prairie mule deer before
the week was done.
|
RICK FURMAN of Reno, NV was not about to be outdone by his dad
Gary (above), and took this great long tined buck on the last day
of his hunt.
|
This year Gordon was exceptionally lucky, in addition to the
nice bear taken in the spring, he also took this magnificent
non-typical muley. With 10 points per side this is truly a dream
buck for him. As always, he was using his .280 Remington with a
140 grain Barnes X bullet.
|
WAYNE SMITH of Graham, WA was hoping for a chance at a nice
prairie mule deer buck. We were happy to see him have the
opportunity to take this beauty.
|
ROD MOENCH of Hanna, AB was with us in December. We covered a
lot of ground before catching up with this nice Tom.
