were lucky enough to have super snow cover for tracking and Mark
was pleased to get this good tom on the second day of his hunt.

SCOTT BURNETT of Cut Bank, MT, made the short drive up to
Alberta to get in on a cougar hunt with us. He had to make a
second trip due to deteriorating snow conditions, but was
rewarded with this great cat for his efforts. Final Boone and
Crockett score is 15 2/16''. Another one for the book!
|
JOHN COTTA of Exceter, CA, was enthusiastic about taking a
moose using his bow. When we spotted this big bull, John made a
great stalk and an excellent shot to get himself a classic 53
inch Shiras bull!

SUSAN TUOHY of Alpena, MI, made an outstanding shot across a
canyon to take this beautiful buck on the first day of the
season.
|
MIKE WILMOT, of Livonia, MI, harvested this awesome pronghorn
buck on the first day of his hunt.
We'd like to say how much skill was involved, but mostly he's
just plain lucky. Not to mention photogenic!

Mike. Not to be outdone, she made a perfect stalk and shot to
bring home this nice buck.
|

game hunt. She harvested this nice antelope on the first day
using a .257 Roberts with a 100 grain Barnes X
bullet. Way to go Patsy!

JIM McDOWELL of Howell, MI took a great mountain lion with us
last year. He came back to Alberta and was rewarded with this
nice antelope on the first day.
|
BILL WILSON of Missoula, MT, has hunted with us several times
in the past. This year our longtime friend took a nice 45" Shiras
bull moose on the second day of his hunt. Then the work
started...there was no time for naps in the sun on this day!
He was using a Martini
& Hagn made custom single shot rifle chambered in .375
Dakota with a 270 grain Barnes X Triple Shock bullet.
|
BOB LOSS of Pittsford, NY, joined us along with his friend
Bill (above) for our October moose hunt. On day number four we
were packing out moose again. The weather was a little warm for
hunting but it was beautiful.
|
Tracy used her time off for a day of moose hunting before
October was through. It proved to be a very productive day indeed
as she connected on this great bull. As always, she was using her
.257 Roberts with a 100 grain Barnes X
bullet.
|
BILL FANT of Falcon, MO, scored on this nice muley buck just
before dark on the first day of his hunt.
|
DAVID ARTHUR of St. Charles, MO, made a great shot on the

buck for his first whitetail.
Ross also took this mule deer before his hunt was over.
|

with us. This magnificent mule deer buck exceeded his
expectations, easily making the Boone and Crockett record book.
|
MIKE FLASHMAN of Bellevue, ID took this big, heavy-based old
buck late on the first day of his hunt. He was lucky enough to
get his first whitetail called in to him the next day, making for
an exciting time. The last day was available to do a little
wingshooting with "Buster", to finish up the hunt.
|
RON WARD of Sparks, NV took this whitetailed deer
the third morning of his hunt. He harvested this fine prairie
mule deer hiking through a beautiful coulee that same afternoon.
|
UBALDO LOPEZ of El Rodeo Hunting Lodge in Sonora, Mexico,
took this super heavy "muy grande" muley buck just a couple of
hours after taking his first whitetail (below). Congratulations
amigo!
He used a .280 Remington with 140 grain Barnes X
bullets. 
We love hunting Desert Mule Deer and Coues Deer with Ubaldo in
the Sonoran desert. We'll be going back next year and you can
join us when we do! Contact us for details.
|
COREY HYDE of Ithica, MI took this nice whitetail buck, (just
before it ran him over) and followed up a day later with the
muley below to finish off his "double header". He ended the week
shooting Hungarian partridge over "Buster".
|
Tracy was busy this year, in addition to the great moose she
got in October (see above), she also took this nice muley on the
last day of the season, using her .257 Roberts with a 100 grain
Barnes
X bullet. And yes, we finally did get cold and snow, the
temperature dropped about 80 F degrees from the week before.
