Scotland Stag Hunt Report by Audie Anderson
Outdoors International did a great job and continues to do so, helping us get our trophies back a year later.
The hunt was a management red stag hunt…meaning we saw a lot of stag but could not shoot the one we wanted but must take the one the guide selects, which was a lesser bull. That was never communicated to us until we were laying in the field getting ready to shoot. My wife and I both chose to hunt and the morning of our deer hunt we were informed that we had another husband wife team to hunt with also. So we ended up as three hunters, one observer and one guide all walking around together. We all got along and enjoyed each others company but again until we the morning of the hunt we did not know this. I also asked to hunt Sika buck. After a couple days of nobody offering to take me after the free range red stag hunt was completed, Matt got hold of the outfitter who then arranged a couple half day hunts. In his defense he seemed to not realize I was hunting sika stag, and one afternoon he even took me himself.
We are still waiting for our trophies to be shipped. The company in Scotland has said the taxidermist who is preparing the cape is behind and it takes time to salt and dry a cape. It takes me a couple hours on the mountain to prepare my hunters capes…..

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.
This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.Oliver Fischer
The outfitter handled everything perfectly.
We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.Thank you, Stan Masneri
What an amazing experience!
The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!Scott Navares
