    Awesome hunt!
    Guides were great. Everyone was on time and did what they said they were going to to do. I would highly recommend this axis deer hunt in Hawaii.

  3. Cory Glauner

    Hunting axis deer on Molokai was an absolute eye opener. There were deer EVERYWHERE! Yet, somehow they are very difficult to hunt (with a bow). I was humbled over and over again, and finally when I had success it was amazing! Can’t wait to go back again.

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.

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!
