Our team of experienced hunting consultants are avid hunters themselves, possessing deep, firsthand knowledge of different species, hunting regions, effective methods, seasonal considerations, and the often complex logistics of international travel, permits (including CITES), and trophy handling. We leverage this expertise to match your specific goals, budget, physical capabilities, and desired experience with the perfect vetted outfitter.

    • European Big Game Traditions: Experience classic hunts for majestic Red Stag, Fallow Deer, Roe Deer, European Wild Boar (stalking and driven hunts), and Mouflon Sheep in countries like Spain, Scotland, England, Poland, Hungary, Romania, and Austria.

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!
