PRICES REDUCED FOR QUEBEC-CARIBOU HUNTS

Last fall success ran over 90 percent for each hunter taking at least one bull and most took 2.  They have 27 camps and typically only take enough hunters to fill 4 for any particular week.  This gives them numerous locations to move hunters if the caribou sightings are down.  This outfit has purchased additional camps north of the 57^th parallel giving them the unique availability to hunt both north and south of the 57^th, increasing the odds considerably to access caribou.  They offer a couple hunt packages, ALL FAIR CHASE. 

HCU Craig Green has been on this hunt and killed 2 caribou and a black bear!

1x6 hunts regular cost = $6500.00 (discounted to $5850.00).

HERE ARE A COUPLE KANSAS OPPORTUNITIES
TO CONSIDER FOR 2012

Keep in mind the draw deadline is April 27. One of our longtime Utah guides has been hunting Kansas for big deer the last few seasons with this particular outfitter. He took a 197-inch mule deer with him and has been chasing some big whitetails along the way. The outfitter has 30,000 private acres located in southwestern Kansas and has farmed and lived there his entire 64 years. He only takes 4 to 6 hunters each year and prefers only 1 or 2 of them for mule deer. Success has run at or near 100% for both whitetails and mulies. Last fall 5 whitetails were taken; 170, 165, 145, 140 and a 130. For mule deer he had one female hunter and she scored on a 175-inch buck. In 2010 he had 3 muley hunters and they took a 207, 185 and a 175. Non-residents can only hunt mule deer with a muzzleloader, in-lines and scopes are allowed. Scoped rifles are allowed on whitetails.

The outfitter typically takes his deer hunters out in the morning and evening and during mid-day they hunt pheasants. This is not a physical hunt and the amount of walking is very limited. They hit small patches that typically hold birds and then move to another location. If a big buck is seen along the way then the hunter can take him if the opportunity arises.

Price is $4,000 for whitetail and $6,000 for mule deer. Hunters stay in motels and eat restaurant meals at their own expense and are picked up every morning by their guide. Hunts are the first 5 days of gun season. Whitetail tags have been basically 100% draw and then mule deer can be applied for with about 50:50 odds. If you don’t draw the mule deer you can still hunt whitetails or if you draw it will be mule deer only.

This outfitter is small and personal, no website or advertising.
Call us on Hunt WD544 for more details or to speak with him.

 

Another Kansas option for this fall is with an outfitter that has over 3,000 acres in southeastern Kansas for whitetails. Last fall he took 2 youth hunters in the special early season and a 10-year old boy took a 173-inch deer. The other hunter was a 12-year old girl and she scored on a 130. He had one early season muzzleloader hunter and he passed on 3 shooter bucks. This was his fourth hunt with this outfitter and the best buck he has take is a 168.

Archery season he reported taking 10 hunters and they scored on 4 bucks. A 13-point 156, 10-point 153, 8-point with a 21-inch inside spread and a 135. He said this was his worst archery season to date and they normally run 60% success.

First gun season went 6 for 6. A 166 with a broken main that should have gone in the low 170’s, 11-point 160 and the rest in the 140’s.

All hunts include lodging and meals. Archery is 6 days at $2,900 starting November 5 and ending November 24. Muzzleloader is also 6 days at $3,100 from September 19 to 30. Rifle hunts are 5 days at $4,000 November 28 to December 2. Whitetail tags are normally over the counter up to late August.

He also offers 2 ½ day turkey hunts for 2 birds for only $800 that includes lodging and meals. If you want a guide it is an additional $150. Last spring he had 23 hunters with 22 taking at least one gobbler.
Call us on Hunt WD316 for more details.

 

ONLY 1 OR 2 SPOTS LEFT FOR A FANTASTIC SASKATCHEWAN WHITETAIL HUNT PRICED AT $3250

1 or 2 spots are left from Nov 5th to 10th.  Last year success ran over 80% and average broke 140.  If you want in call us ASAP to secure your spot.

This hunt continues to be one of the best sleepers we know of.  In 2010 they had 20 hunters take 18 bucks and the top bucks were in the high 150’s and averaged a solid 145.  Considering Saskatchewan recently came off a couple bad winters this area is doing quite well.  In 2009 the same success and the average was 150 inches.  That is an awesome average.  In 2008 the average was in the mid-140’s with a 85% success rate.  As you can see this is a solid hunt with a great outfitter. 

6-day rifle whitetail hunts in November are only $3,250.  He has 25 heated box blinds about 8 to 12 feet off the ground.  New two story cabin accommodations right on the lake with good fishing.  Deer license is $350 and bear is $200.  This is a super priced hunt and taxes are included along with airport pickup in Saskatoon.  Openings are very very limited.  Hunt WD577.  Pictures from this Hunt

 

5-DAY TROPHY ANTELOPE
BOWHUNT REDUCED TO $1500
100% SUCCESS AGAIN

This rancher/outfitter runs a small personal operation in southeastern Montana and has reduced his price from $1750 to $1500!  This is a bargain trophy antelope bowhunt!  These ranches are typically not rifle hunted which allows some real trophies to develop for the archery fanatics.

Last fall he had 11 archers take 11 pronghorn bucks and 7 should make Pope and Young.  In 2010 his 7 archers took 7 bucks, with 5 making Pope and Young and 2 more that may qualify.  In the past 4 years he has taken 31 bowhunters total and they took 30 bucks.

Hunt dates are August 15 to late September.  Hunters need to apply for tags by June 1st.  Fly into Billings or Rapid City and rent a car.  Hunt PGB427.  Pictures from this hunt.

ZAMBIA SAFARIS IN THE NORTH LUANGWA VALLEY

This PH has been in the hunting business for over 25 years and was partially responsible for the closing and reopening of Zambia in 1993 when they were awarded this game rich remote area located in northeastern Zambia.  This is untamed Africa and it falls under 2 game management areas that borders the North Luangwa Game Park and is divided by the Luangwa River.  They also have an area in the Bangweulu Swamps that borders the Congo for Zambezi sitatunga, black lechwe, tsessebe and oribi.

They have 6 lion and 6 leopard permits and last year one hunter failed to take his lion and all scored on leopard.  In 2010 success was 100% on both lion and leopard.  In 2009 they were 5 for 6 on lions and 6 for 6 on leopards.  The unsuccessful lion hunter missed.  They take close to 20 buffalo per year and the average bull measures between 39 and 40 inches. Top bulls taken normally go 45 inches or better.

Traditional camps with thatched grass walls and roofs, cement floors, toilets and hot showers.  Camp has solar energy and each hunter has their own room attendant to take care of personal needs.  Hunters fly into Lusaka and take a 2 hour flight to base camp for $4,800 and this is mainly for classic safaris.  They can sometimes arrange a scheduled flight plus charter hop for 2 buff hunters at $3,500 round trip.  Observer rates are $250 per day.
