We work with America’s leading provider of travel insurance plans and assistance programs and they’re here to help you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. **[Get Your Free Trip Insurance Quote](#quote).** ## Why you should seriously consider Travel Insurance for your next trip: **1. CANCELLED FLIGHTS** ![Elk Camp](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/elk-camp-scaled.jpg "elk-camp tent fire » Outdoors International")By far, the most common issue our clients have is missed flights due to weather. If you’re going somewhere like Alaska where weather can be an issue, we can’t stress enough how important it is to have Trip Insurance.It’s 10PM. You’ve just landed at the airport from a grueling hunt to catch your connect home. You’re tired and want your own bed since you’ve been sleeping on the ground in a tent for a week. But now, you just found out **your flight has been cancelled**. This isn’t fun. So, who will find you a flight home? If you purchased Trip Insurance, your agent will assist you, and your extra expenses will be covered. **2. LOST BAG** You lost your bag. And your bag had your meds. So you need to find your bag ASAP. Who can help you find that bag or refill your emergency prescription? **3. STOLEN PASSPORT OR WALLET** Ah, Africa. You’ve waited your whole life to book this Safari. But **someone just stole your passport and wallet**. Yikes! You need emergency cash. You need a new passport. You need someone who can get things done fast. Who is that someone? **4. MEDICAL EVACUATION** Uh oh. You’re on a remote fishing trip in Bolivia and got in an accident and the medical treatment you need is not happening way out there. That means a **medical evacuation**. Are you going to coordinate all of that alone after you’ve been in an accident? **5. YOUR NEED TO CANCEL YOUR TRIP** Your extended family has been planning the annual float trip on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River in Idaho for months. But hours before you take off, your sister-in-law gets too sick to go. So **everyone** **decides to cancel**. What happens to your non-refundable deposits or pre-payments? Who can help with reimbursement? **6. THE AIRLINE LOST YOUR LUGGAGE** You arrive in Kyrgyzstan, but your **luggage is lost**. Who will find it? Who will pay for your travel necessities until you are reunited with your beloved bag? And if it is gone for good (we’re sorry), who will cover all the stuff you just lost? **7. THE OUTFITTER GOES OUT OF BUSINESS** The trip sounded amazing, so you booked it. But then your cruise line, airline or **outfitter goes bankrupt**. Yes, it happens. So what about the non-refundable expenses? And who can get you to your destination now? **8. WHILE ON YOUR TRIP YOU NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR** You’re hunting mule deer in Mexico. It’s amazing. Then suddenly, ouch, you twist your ankle big time jumping out of the high rack. **You need a doctor**, but not just any doctor. One who preferably understands English. Okay, how will you find this doctor in a foreign country? **9. THERE IS AN INCIDENT WHERE YOU ARE GOING AND YOU NEED TO CANCEL** A reality is that terror can strike anywhere. Three weeks before your elk hunt in Montana, an incident occurs where you are headed. Maybe you still go…Or maybe you **decide to cancel your trip**. If you do, who is going to get your money back? **10. BAD WEATHER OR NATURAL DISASTER** Sun. Sand. Water. There’s nothing like the serenity of a beach resort. Unless a hurricane blows through and spoils the fun. Now, you can’t stay in the resort and **need to be evacuated out**. Who gets you out? Who reimburses you for the lost beach days? [ Get A Quote ](#quote) ### My hunt was cancelled due to weather. I was already in Anchorage, Alaska on my way to hunt caribou when I received a call from my outfitter saying my trip was cancelled because of weather. They had gotten so far behind getting clients in and out of the field that they were forced to make some hard decisions. I wasn’t happy about the situation, but I was so grateful that I had gotten the trip insurance (I almost hadn’t). The outfitter wrote a letter explaining the cancellation and I was fully reimbursed for my hunt and expenses. It wasn’t the outcome I was hoping for, but it was much better than it could have been. Other members of my group had chosen not to purchase a policy and were out all of their expenses. **Steve** ### So grateful that we purchased a policy! My husband and I were on a cruise, and my retina detached from my eye. We called our Travel Insurance agent who made all my arrangements to get me the care I needed. A representative kept in touch with me and made sure that we saw the physicians that could help me and saw to it that we made all of our connections to get home. We were driven to each airport, met, and driven home, to our front door. The Retinologist in Seattle even called my Retinologist in Florida. We were fully reimbursed us for our interrupted trip and other covered expenses that we incurred. **Virginia** ## Are you ready to protect your trip with Travel Insurance? ### Example Travel Insurance Coverage: **COVERAGE THAT TRAVELS WITH YOU****BASIC COVERAGE****15 DAY BENEFIT****UPGRADE**ACCIDENT AND SICKNESS MEDICAL EXPENSES$25,000 per insuredACCIDENTAL DEATH/DISMEMBERMENT$10,000 per insuredBAGGAGE AND PERSONAL EFFECTS$1,000 per insuredBAGGAGE DELAY$300 per insuredBUSINESS ASSISTANCE SERVICESIncludedCANCEL FOR BUSINESS REASONSIncludedCONCIERGE SERVICESIncludedDEFAULT/BANKRUPTCY100% Trip Cost per insuredEMERGENCY EVACUATION AND REPATRIATION OF REMAINS$500,000 per insuredEMERGENCY EVACUATION & REPATRIATION UPGRADE$500,000 per insuredFLIGHT GUARD $50,000$50,000 per insuredIDENTITY THEFT ASSISTANCE SERVICESIncludedLIVETRAVEL EMERGENCY ASSISTANCEIncludedMEDICAL COVERAGE UPGRADE$25,000 per insuredMEDICAL EXPENSE PRIMARYIncludedMISSED CONNECTION$250.00MISSED CONNECTION UPGRADE$250 per insuredPERSONAL SECURITY ASSISTANCEIncludedPRE-EXISTING CONDITION WAIVERIncludedTRAVEL MEDICAL ASSISTANCEIncludedTRIP CANCELLATION100% Trip CostTRIP DELAY$750 $150.00 Payout Limit/DayTRIP INTERRUPTION150% Trip CostTRIP INTERRUPTION – RETURN AIR$750WORLD WIDE TRAVEL ASSISTANCEIncluded\*Expenses incurred from third-party vendors for assistance services not part of a filed insurance plan are the responsibility of the traveler. ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

Rocky Mountains are much larger than their desert and Northern relatives, the [Stone sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/stone-sheep/) and the [Dall sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/dall-sheep/), reaching weights of up to five hundred pounds. They have several different color variations from light brown to dark brown and even gray. They prefer mountain slopes with lots of grass, alpine meadows in the high country near [mountain goats](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/goats/mountain-goat/), always hanging out near rocky, rugged bluffs and cliffs. Avoiding deep snow, they seek out snow free exposures or lower country when winter hits. ### There are currently about 70,000 Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep in North America. Rocky Mountain Bighorn sheep distribution spans the Rocky Mountains from southern Canada down through the western United States, including parts of [Montana](https://outdoors-international.com/montana-sheep-hunting/), [Idaho](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-sheep-hunt/), [Wyoming](https://outdoors-international.com/wyoming-sheep-hunting/), Colorado, and into New Mexico. Small, isolated populations also exist in Oregon, Nevada, North Dakota, and Utah. Today, Rocky Mountain Bighorn sheep are carefully managed by hunting conservation organizations to maintain healthy herds, with their distribution expanding as restoration and protection efforts continue. ### The rut is a spectacle! In November or December when the rut takes place, two males will battle for mating rights by turning towards each other, rearing up on their hind legs and lunging forward at up to 40 miles per hours. The loud crack from their heads and horns colliding can be heard up to a mile away. ![Sheep Hunting Petroglyphs](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/sheep-hunting-petroglyphs-indian-art-scaled.jpg "sheep-hunting-petroglyphs-indian-art » Outdoors International") ## Bighorn Sheep were Important to many Native American Tribes ### The Crow have a legend of a man who was possessed by evil spirits. He attempted to kill his son by pushing him over the edge of a cliff. The young man got caught in the trees and was saved by bighorn sheep, and took the name of their leader, *Big Metal*. He was given power, wisdom, great vision, strength, a strong heart, keen ears and sure footedness. Big Metal prophesied to his people that they would live as long as the Bighorn River kept its name. Other’s known as the “Sheep Eaters” got their name because bighorn sheep were a big part of their diet. This was largely in part because they inhabited the same environment high in the mountains. Even during the winter, they would stay in the same [areas as the sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-sheep-hunt/). The Sheep Eater’s, also known as *Tukadeka*, were expert craftsman famous for their extremely powerful bows. These bows are rumored to be capable of shooting an arrow straight through a [buffalo](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/buffalo-bovines/bison/). They would build wooden fences as wings to drive the sheep into narrow corrals where they could harvest them. These amazing people disappeared because of diseases like smallpox. Ironically, this is around the same time disease from domestic sheep almost drove bighorn sheep herds to the brink of extinction. ### They Made their Bows out of Bighorn Sheep Horns They would soak the horns in hot springs in order to soften them, and beginning with the head and skull, [slowly achieve reversing the curl](http://jacksonholehistory.org/sheep-eater-archaeology-the-bighorn-sheep-bow/). Then they would straighten and dry the horns. After which they coupled the two straightened horns together with sinew and hide glue. The bow was finished by rubbing the sinew and horn with a buffalo rib to give it shine. Wrapping the tips with sinew to hold the string in place, they would coat the sinew back with burnt gypsum mixed with hide glue to whiten it. Many of these bows would have melted pitch rubbed over the sinew for waterproofing, and most would have a buckskin handle. These amazing works of art were usually about 32 inches long and commanded the hefty purchase price of about ten horses. ![World Record Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/World-Record-Rocky-Mountain-Bighorn-Sheep-Montana.jpg "World-Record-Rocky-Mountain-Bighorn-Sheep-Montana » Outdoors International") ## Qualifications for Boone and Crockett In order to qualify for the [Boone and Crockett](https://www.boone-crockett.org/) all-time records book, a Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep must score 180 inches net. There are 1,577 all-time entries scoring 180 or bigger; 46 percent of them from Montana and 21 percent from Alberta. Montana also claims 52 of the top 100 all-time entries. Alberta has six of the top ten entries with Montana making up the other four. In the last five years, though, nine of the top ten entries came from Montana with only one from Alberta. Six of the ten largest Rocky Mountain sheep were picked up and not harvested.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Outfitters](https://outdoors-international.com/dall-sheep-hunting/) **Published:** August 22, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Dall sheep hunting is often a hunters first sheep hunting experience, and thus begins their sheep addiction. If you’re wanting to go sheep hunting, Dall sheep are the least difficult and least expensive North American sheep to hunt. **Content:** Possibly the least difficult (because you might not have to [draw a tag](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-draw-a-sheep-tag/)), as well as the least expensive [North American sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/) hunt is a Dall ram.

to Hunt Them](https://outdoors-international.com/eurasian-brown-bears/) **Published:** January 20, 2026 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** This is a different spin on brown bear hunting with a higher success rate than most hunts in North America. You should definitely give it some consideration. **Content:** The Eurasian Brown Bear *(Ursus arctos arctos)* is a majestic creature that roams the vast expanses of Eurasia, captivating the imagination of hunters and nature enthusiasts alike. With its imposing stature, ranging from 4 to 8 feet tall and weighing between 400 to 1,500 pounds, the Eurasian Brown Bear commands respect and fascination. Its thick, lustrous fur, varying in shades of brown, gives it a regal appearance as it roams the dense forests and rugged mountains of its native habitat. Eurasian brown bears offer a different spin with a higher success rate than most [brown bear hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/) in North America. [Hunting in Europe](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/europe/) is typically less expensive than North America with a higher success rate. For those seeking even larger trophies and remote wilderness, consider expanding to Asian regions like [Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula](https://outdoors-international.com/kamchatka-brown-bear-hunt/), where subspecies like the Kamchatka brown bear *(Ursus arctos beringianus)* provide unparalleled opportunities at a fraction of Alaskan costs. [ Ask us about a Eurasian brown bear hunt ](#more-information) ![OI Client with his third giant Kamchatka brown bear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/1000023373.jpg "OI Client with his third giant Kamchatka brown bear » Outdoors International") OI Client with his third giant Kamchatka brown bear ## Understanding Eurasian Brown Bears: Biology and Behavior ### To effectively hunt the Eurasian Brown Bear, it is crucial to have a comprehensive understanding of its biology and behavior. This knowledge empowers hunters to anticipate their prey’s actions and movements, increasing the likelihood of a successful hunt. The Eurasian Brown Bear is primarily a solitary animal, except during mating season and when raising cubs. It displays remarkable intelligence, which can make it a challenging target for even the most skilled hunters. Subspecies variations, such as the larger Kamchatka brown bears in [Russia](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/asia/russia/), exhibit similar traits but thrive in volcanic, high-density environments, leading to more frequent sightings and multi-bear opportunities. ## Best Hunting Locations for Eurasian Brown Bears ### Eurasian Brown Bears can be found in various regions across Eurasia, and identifying the best hunting locations is vital for a successful hunt. Factors such as population density, habitat suitability, and local regulations all play a role in determining the prime hunting grounds for these majestic creatures. There are a total of around 17,000 Eurasian brown bears (primarily the nominate subspecies in [Europe](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/europe/)), with distribution scattered and disconnected, including small populations in the Spanish/French Pyrenees, the Cantabrian Mountains in Spain, and the Alps in Italy, Switzerland, Austria, and Slovenia. The population in the Balkans, mainly in [Croatia](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/europe/croatia/) and Slovenia, is relatively large but disconnected from the major population of Europe. ### Expanding to Asia: Premier Hunts in Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula While Europe offers accessible and regulated hunts, Asia—particularly Russia’s Far East—hosts some of the world’s densest brown bear populations, with the Kamchatka Peninsula standing out as a top destination. This remote volcanic region is home to massive Kamchatka brown bears, often rivaling or exceeding Alaskan giants in size (with realistic shots at 10-foot trophies). Accessible only by helicopter to minimize pressure, these areas see minimal human interference, resulting in high bear densities—hunters often spot 20 or more bears per day. Outdoors International’s [Kamchatka brown bear hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/kamchatka-brown-bear-hunt/) focus on spring seasons (April-May), using snowmobiles for efficient stalking across snowy terrains. With no legal limit on bears per trip, our vetted outfitters have delivered a 200% success rate over 25 years, averaging two bears per 6-day hunt. These hunts are among the least physically demanding worldwide, suitable for all skill levels, and cost 25-40% less than comparable Alaskan adventures (all-inclusive, covering flights, charters, licenses, tags, and tips). Native Itelmen guides provide authentic expertise, and our English-speaking team handles logistics, gun permits, and trophy processing (delivered in about 6 months). For hunters looking to bag multiple trophies in prime coats, this is a strategic, high-value option that combines adventure with efficiency. [ Book a Kamchatka Brown Bear Hunt Now ](#more-information) ## Regulations for Bear Hunting IN EUROPE ### Before embarking on a bear hunt, it is crucial to familiarize yourself with the legalities and regulations surrounding this activity. Each country and region has specific laws and guidelines governing bear hunting, including licensing requirements, bag limits, and designated hunting seasons. Compliance with these regulations not only ensures a sustainable approach to hunting but also helps preserve the population of Eurasian Brown Bears for future generations. ### Eurasian Brown Bear Hunting Regulations and Conservation in Croatia ### In the present system within Croatia, there are tags for 10 to 15 percent of the entire bear population. Each outfitter is assigned a specific portion of this overall quota, granting them the opportunity to offer [guided brown bear hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/). According to findings from researchers at Imperial College London and the University of Zagreb, this approach has yielded several advantages for the country. Firstly, the local economy experiences positive outcomes, and the hunting organizations contribute to employment opportunities for locals. Furthermore, the revenue generated through the sale of hunting permits enables these organizations to compensate farmers for any damages incurred, particularly in relation to beekeeping. It is worth noting that Winnie the Pooh is not the sole bear with an affinity for honey. - Within Croatia, hunting of female bears who are still caring for their cubs is strictly prohibited, and the hunting methods are closely regulated. - Each permit is exclusively valid for a single (male) bear. Consequently, hunting managers can generate greater revenue when dealing with larger bears. ### According to biologists, in combination with the economic benefits derived from permitting hunting outfitters to sell trophy hunting permits, offers a more sustainable approach compared to the alternative plan of adopting EU regulations to replace the current management structure in Croatia. Transferring the responsibility of compensating farmers from the hunting organizations to the government would introduce additional financial pressure. They emphasize the significance of considering both wildlife biology and economics when making management decisions. Alos asserting that a policy in which wildlife sustains itself not only mitigates perceived conflicts between humans and wildlife but also establishes a durable and effective management scheme. For Asian hunts like those in Kamchatka, regulations differ: Russia allows unlimited tags per hunter in designated areas, emphasizing conservation through low-pressure zones and professional guiding to maintain healthy populations. ![A big Eurasian brown bear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/European-brown-bear-hunts.jpg) ## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) [ Can you hunt Eurasian Brown Bears all year round? ](#accordion-item-can-you-hunt-eurasian-brown-bears-all-year-round?)No, the hunting season for Eurasian Brown Bears varies depending on the country and region.

[ How do you score a bear in Europe? ](#accordion-item-how-do-you-score-a-bear-in-europe?)In Europe, they use the [CIC Scoring System](https://outdoors-international.com/scoring-guide-for-european-trophy-big-game-animals-weight-based-scoring-explained-and-compared-to-north-american-scoring-systems/) which is a sliding trophy scale. Average [bears square](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-square-a-bear-hide/) 6.5 to 8.5 feet (300-350 CIC) on most of our hunts. 400-500 CIC point bears are possible.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

are a couple of things that you can start doing now to make your sheep hunting dreams a reality. **Content:** For many the Sheep Slam represents a lifetime achievement and the pinnacle of their hunting careers. I am not totally sure what it is about sheep hunting that gets so deep into the core of some hunters, but sheep fever is a very real thing! Is it the amazing scenery, the sheer difficulty of the hunt, the limited opportunities or the amazing sight of these animals in their native habitat? Regardless, hunters dream of the [North American Sheep Slam](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/mexico/). ## The North American Sheep Slam ### The North American Sheep Slam includes: Dall Sheep; Desert Bighorn Sheep; Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep; and Stone Sheep. The [Grand Slam of North American Wild Sheep](https://www.slamquest.org/grand-slam-awards-details.php?Grand-Slam-2) has been around since Grancel Fitz coined the phrase in 1949. Not quite a decade later, the Grand Slam Club was founded by Bob Housholder in 1956. While many may continue their pursuit of mountain game after completing their Grand Slam of [North American sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/), for many this prestigious milestone represents a lifetime achievement and the pinnacle of their hunting careers. [ ![Hunt Trophy Dall Sheep in Alaska's Brooks Range without paying top dollar for the Yukon or Northwest Territories.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Dall-Sheep-Hunt-Alaska-Brooks-Range-AOU2.jpg "Dall-Sheep-Hunt-Alaska-Brooks-Range-AOU2 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/dall-sheep/) ### Dall Sheep *Possibly* the least difficult (only because of the lower price tag and the fact that you \*sometimes don’t have to draw a tag) as well as the least expensive North American sheep hunt is for a Dall ram. Because of this, a [Dall sheep hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/dall-sheep/) is usually the first one hunters go after for their Sheep Slam. Their population is steady and increasing and they are easy to glass. Dall sheep hunts are available in Alaska, [the Yukon](https://outdoors-international.com/yukon-dall-sheep-hunts/), British Columbia and the Northwest Territories. Although there are some over the counter units, for the best units you’ll probably [need to draw a tag](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-application-service/). Luckily, it is realistic to draw at least one in your lifetime. [ ![We have MANY sheep references from over the years, please don’t hesitate to do your homework and see why we lead the way on extreme mountain sheep hunt in the industry.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/stone-sheep-hunt-british-columbia-BBCB3-18.jpg "BC stone sheep hunt british columbia BBCB1 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/stone-sheep/) ### Stone Sheep Stone sheep are considered “thin horn” sheep, similar to Dall sheep. Their range is not only remote and typically rugged, they also have the smallest population of the four species, making them more expensive to hunt. Stone sheep hunts are available in [Northern British Columbia](https://outdoors-international.com/stone-sheep-hunt/), into the southern Yukon Territory. ### Fannin Sheep Usually significantly lighter, but is technically still considered a Stone sheep. Their habitat is generally a little steeper and more rugged, but other than that, they are quite similar. [ ![Rocky Mountain Bighorn sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Alberta-Bighorn-Sheep-Hunt-TLG1-Timberline-Guiding-11.jpg "Alberta Bighorn Sheep Hunt TLG1 Timberline Guiding (11) » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/rocky-mountain-bighorn/) ### Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep The [Rocky Mountain bighorn](https://outdoors-international.com/rocky-mountain-bighorn/) is the largest of the North American sheep. Most hunters play the waiting game for Rockies and hope to draw a tag and either go self-guided or hire an outfitter in the area they drew. “Rockies” are found in: Alberta; British Columbia; Arizona; Colorado; [Idaho](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-sheep-hunt/); [Montana;](https://outdoors-international.com/montana-sheep-hunting/) Nebraska; Nevada; New Mexico; North Dakota; South Dakota; Oregon; Utah; Washington; and Wyoming. ### California Bighorn Sheep Even though they are a separate subspecies, California bighorns count towards your Rocky Mountain bighorn for the Grand Slam. They are considerably smaller than the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, their horns are shorter and less massive, and tend to have more flare. California bighorns are found in the following States and Provinces: British Columbia; Idaho; [Nevada](https://outdoors-international.com/mexico-fishing-trip-giveaway/); Oregon; Washington; and Utah. [ ![Desert Bighorn Sheep Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Old-Mexico-Desert-Bighorn-Sheep-Hunt-OMHC2-1.jpg "Old Mexico Desert Bighorn Sheep Hunt OMHC2 (1) » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/desert-bighorn-sheep-facts/) ### Desert Bighorn Sheep The [Desert bighorn sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/mexico-desert-bighorn-sheep-hunt/) is usually the last ram of a*“Grand Slam”* to be taken, and is often never taken at all. The Desert bighorn can be tough to hunt, but the greatest obstacle is the difficulty of getting a permit… there aren’t many available. After their populations reached the brink of extinction, [Desert bighorn sheep populations](https://outdoors-international.com/desert-bighorn-sheep-facts/) have since stabilized due to conservation efforts. Their decline was due to over hunting, habitat loss and disease passed on from domestic livestock. Limited permits are available through drawing in Arizona, Nevada, Utah and a few other states, but few permits are allotted to non-residents. The easiest place to hunt a desert bighorn ram is [Mexico](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/desert-bighorn-sheep-hunt/), where good hunts are operated by the government. Unfortunately though, these hunts are VERY expensive. > “Sheep Hunters are Romantics, who love high places and solitude. To them the wild ram embodies the mystery and magic of the mountains, the rocky canyons, the snowy peaks, the fragrant alpine meadows, the gray slide rock, the icy dancing rills fed by snowbank and glacier, the sweet clean air of the high places, and the sense of being alone on the top of the world with the eagles, the marmots, and the wild sheep themselves.” ##### -Jack O’Connor [ Ask us about

look the exciting realm of [Swedish big game hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/europe/sweden/), exploring its rich history, the mesmerizing landscapes, and the incredible diversity of game species that make Sweden a top destination for hunters worldwide. ### A Land of Rich Tradition Sweden, a [Nordic gem](https://outdoors-international.com/norway-reindeer-hunt/), has a deep-rooted hunting tradition that dates back centuries. The Swedish people have maintained a profound connection with nature, and hunting has played a vital role in their culture. Today, this tradition thrives as hunters from around the globe flock to Sweden to experience its bountiful wilderness. ### The Swedish Wilderness Swedish wilderness is unlike any other. Vast forests, pristine lakes, and rugged mountains create a stunning backdrop for hunting adventures. The country’s diverse landscapes offer a variety of hunting opportunities, from dense forests to open plains, each with its unique challenges and rewards. ## Big Game Species Sweden boasts an impressive array of species, including: European moose, [reindeer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/reindeer/), roebuck, mouflon, fallow buck, [red stag](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/red-stag/), European bison, wolf, beaver, fox, and trophy birds, such as capercaillie and black grouse. Before you book a hunt in Europe, learn about [how they score their trophies](https://outdoors-international.com/scoring-guide-for-european-trophy-big-game-animals-weight-based-scoring-explained-and-compared-to-north-american-scoring-systems/) as it’s much different than how they do it in North America. ![Hunting European Bison](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Sweden-SKPH2-European-Bison.jpg) ### European Bison The [European bison](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/european-bison/), often referred to as the “wisent,” emerges as an emblem of sheer potency and grandeur. These magnificent creatures, reaching a staggering 2,000 pounds in weight and towering over six feet in height, captivate the observer’s gaze. Adorned in their remarkable, deep mahogany coats and possessing sturdy, robust frames, they epitomize the zenith of innate fortitude and tenacity. ![Hunting European Moose](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/european-moose.jpg) ### European Moose The mighty [European moose](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/european-moose/), often called the *“king of the Swedish forest,”* is one of the most sought-after game species in Sweden. With its imposing size and majestic antlers, the moose is a symbol of Swedish wilderness. Moose hunting is an experience like no other, as you navigate through dense forests, listening for the distinct call of the moose. The moose hunting season in Sweden typically runs from early October to late December, with variations in specific regions. ![Roebuck hunting in Sweden](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Sweden-SKPH2-Roe-Deer-3.jpg) ### Roe Deer For those seeking a more challenging hunt, the roe deer provides an exciting opportunity. These agile creatures are known for their keen senses and elusive nature. Hunting roe deer requires patience and skill, making it a favorite among seasoned hunters. Roe deer hunting spans from August to December, with slight variations by location. ### Fallow Deer [Hunting fallow deer](https://outdoors-international.com/ireland-fallow-deer-hunting/) in Sweden typically involves spot-and-stalk hunting through dense wooded areas interspersed with open fields. These deer share numerous behaviors and traits with whitetails, and despite the high density of fallow bucks, they can be equally challenging to hunt. ### Wild Boar Sweden’s wild boar population has been on the rise, making it a popular choice for hunters. The thrill of pursuing these powerful animals through the dense underbrush is an adventure worth experiencing. Wild boar hunting often involves strategic planning and teamwork. Wild boar hunting is open year-round, but the best time is during the colder months when they are more active. ## Licensing and Regulations Before embarking on your Swedish hunting adventure, it is crucial to understand the licensing and regulations governing hunting activities. Sweden has strict laws in place to ensure the sustainability of its wildlife populations and the safety of hunters. Be sure to acquire the necessary permits and familiarize yourself with local regulations before heading into the wilderness. So, are you ready to pack your gear, and experience the enchanting world of big game hunting in Sweden? Your next great hunting story begins here.

Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH’s and their awesome staff. I made some new friends and will be back to Africa again 100%. **Brye Mangum** / OI Draw Winner ![Impala](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Dason-Lasiter-Client-South-Africa-Plains-Game-Hunt-Winner-DWHS-Archery-impala.jpg "Dason Lasiter Client South Africa Plains Game Hunt Winner DWHS Archery impala » Outdoors International") ### My most memorable and rewarding experience. This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

**Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Every year hunters from all over the world are drawn to our top 10 most popular hunting destinations. **Content:** While every hunter’s list will be different, we’ve gathered some of the [**very best hunting guides and destinations from around the world**](/hunting-trips/) that balance good hunting, beautiful country, and as many comforts as you prefer. Most hunters like at least a little bit of luxury, but if you like to go full on spartan, we have those too. Every year hunters from all over the world are drawn to our top 10 most popular hunting destinations. ![Hunter packing out a huge bull moose in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Brian-Reinhart-Alaska-Moose-Hunt-Report1.jpg "Brian Reinhart-Client-Alaska Guided Moose BAKO 2020 Pack out » Outdoors International") **DESTINATION #1** ### **ALASKA** ### If you’re a hunter, you’ve thought about hunting in Alaska. Tell me I’m wrong. We all dream of the huge [Alaska moose](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-trophy-moose-hunt/), wolves, [black bears](https://outdoors-international.com/black-bear-hunts-in-alaska/), [grizzly](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-grizzly-bear-hunt/) and [brown bears](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-hunting/) are found throughout the state. The [mountain ranges support populations of Dall sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/dall-sheep/) and [mountain goats](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-mountain-goat-hunt/), and [Sitka blacktail deer](https://outdoors-international.com/sitka-blacktail-deer/). Muskox range over the [western and arctic](https://outdoors-international.com/western-arctic-caribou-herd/) coastal wilderness. ### However, game densities are lower than most other states and provinces. This makes finding good hunting outfitters key to successfully **[hunting in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/united-states/alaska/)**. With the experience that the **[Outdoors International staff](https://outdoors-international.com/about-us/)** has in the field and our first-hand knowledge of each and every Alaskan outfitter that we work with, we’ll create an itinerary and a trip package that more than lives up to your expectations. From high-end fly out lodges to remote tent camps to overnight float trips in the Alaskan bush, our Alaskan operations are the very best at delivering great hunting and fishing, personalized service, and a fantastic overall Alaskan experience. If you’re an angler, the [**fishing in Alaska**](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing/alaska-fishing/), as you probably already know is simply incredible. [ CONTACT US ABOUT A HUNT ](#more-information) ![We get asked all the time "how much does it cost to hunt in New Zealand?"](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/New-Zealand-hunter-on-mountain-e1671546533747-1020x678.jpg "New Zealand hunter on mountain » Outdoors International") **DESTINATION #2** ### **NEW ZEALAND** New Zealand is an incredible hunting destination with breathtaking mountain scenery, and a plethora of exotic species to hunt. [Giant red stags](https://outdoors-international.com/how-much-is-a-red-stag-hunt-in-new-zealand/), [Himalayan tahr](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/goats/tahr/) and [chamois](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/goats/chamois/) top most hunter’s lists. Other species include [fallow deer, elk, and many other varieties of deer](https://outdoors-international.com/croatia-fallow-deer-hunt/), goats, sheep, and even water buffalo and wild turkeys. As with most amazing destinations, the [**fishing in New Zealand**](https://outdoors-international.com/new-zealand-fly-fishing/) is amazing as well. Every year, the exceptional [trout fishing of Middle Earth draws fly fishermen](https://outdoors-international.com/trout/) from across the world. To top it all off, a**[ hunt in New Zealand](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/south-pacific/new-zealand/)** is easy to plan, and it is a safe and welcoming country. Because it is stable and friendly, New Zealand is also a perfect place to include your spouse or family in your adventure. While the hunting and fishing is a major attraction in New Zealand, we full-heartedly encourage all visitors to New Zealand to do more than just that; indeed, few people ever travel there without also checking out some of the scenic places, hiking some of the unbelievable tramps or experiencing the rich viticulture that the country’s plentiful wine regions have to offer. Now is undoubtedly the time to finally [check New Zealand off your bucket](https://outdoors-international.com/the-bucket-list/) list.

If you’re a hunter, Idaho has what you want! [Mule deer](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-mule-deer-hunt/); [whitetail deer](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-whitetail-hunting/); [elk](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-elk-hunting/); pronghorn antelope; [black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-bear-hunts/); [mountain lion](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-mountain-lion-hunting/); wolves; Shiras moose; [Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-sheep-hunt/); California bighorn; and [mountain goats](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/goats/mountain-goat/). [Idaho](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/united-states/idaho/) provides a lot of opportunities for backcountry combination hunts, usually elk and [mule deer combos](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/mule-deer/). Most years you can add [**fall steelhead fishing**](https://outdoors-international.com/steelhead-fishing-clearwater-river-idaho/) to the mix. Along with superb big game hunting, Idaho offers a multitude of upland game [bird and waterfowl hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/wingshooting/) opportunities on millions of acres of public land. Season lengths are long and the bag limits are generous. Species include geese; ducks; wild turkey; [pheasants](https://outdoors-international.com/pheasant-hunting/); forest grouse; sage grouse; sharptail grouse; [chukar](https://outdoors-international.com/chukar-hunting/); Hungarian partridge; [bobwhite, mountain and California quail](https://outdoors-international.com/quail-hunting/); sandhill cranes; and [doves](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-for-doves/).

Argentina is well known for amazing **[free range red stag hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/argentina-red-stag-hunting/)**, as well as a variety of other big game species including: blackbuck; axis deer; [fallow deer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/fallow-deer/); water buffalo; wild boar; capybara; brown brocket deer; and even a few species of peccaries. It’s tough to do it all in one trip, but you’ll want to go again anyway. ### Argentina is a “hunter friendly” country. The primary language is Spanish, but many locals speak English as well due to its European influence. The country is noted for its amazing culture, friendly people, excellent food (the finest steak in the world), and wine (amazing Malbec’s and Pinot Noirs). Bringing firearms into the country is a simple process, but most outfitters do offer rentals if you don’t want the hassle. ### World Class Dove Shooting The doves and pigeons here are considered a nuisance, and there are MILLIONS of them in the farming areas. **High-volume shooting** just doesn’t get any better.

There is plenty of variety in [big game](https://outdoors-international.com/super-slam-of-north-american-big-game/) as well as diverse terrain where glaciated mountains stand over an unruly Pacific ocean.

On the coast, you can get into some giant coastal black bears on vessel or land based hunts. And lastly, is **[BC’s moose hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-moose-hunt/)**. As you venture further north and get remote you can really get into some good sized moose. As a general rule the average will be 40-45 [inch bulls](https://outdoors-international.com/everybody-wants-a-400-inch-bull-elk/) starting in central BC growing to [50-60 inch moose as you get into remote Northern British Columbia](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-moose-hunt/).

You’ll see LOTS of game, the staff is incredibly accommodating, the PH’s are fun, friendly, and professional, and you’ll eat spectacular food and the lodging is 5-star. There’s not a bad thing we could say about our [South Africa safari hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/safari-hunting-in-south-africa/). Since the hunting areas are huge, the species you are hunting will dictate where you’ll be hunting. The PH’s are knowledgeable, and will be totally focused on your hunting goals. ### The hunting will be by spot-and-stalk, or from blinds…whatever you prefer. After breakfast, you will jump in the back of the hunting rig and either drive roads looking for game, or sit in a hide… don’t worry, you will see a lot of game. There is no shooting from the truck. Once an animal is spotted, you will start your stalk. Animals that seem relaxed while you are in the truck become VERY wild once your feet hit the ground. ### We can customize your Safari based on your budget.

A [**traditional European hunt in Scotland**](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/europe/scotland/) is a once in a lifetime experience and we highly recommend it. If you have never heard the [roar of the red stag](https://outdoors-international.com/the-red-stag-roar/) across the highlands then you are missing out on an awesome hunting experience. The most popular game species of Scotland are the [Red stag](https://outdoors-international.com/stag-hunting-scotland/), Roebuck, Fallow deer, Sika deer, Pheasant, Geese, Woodcock, Partridge, Grouse and Hare! Consider combining a hunting trip to Scotland with some of [the best fly fishing in the world](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/fly-fishing-guides/), maybe even try and go for the MacNab Challenge…And as you probably know, Scotland has some very fine whiskey distilleries you will probably want to visit. ### The **[MacNab Challenge](https://www.thefield.co.uk/macnab-challenge)** has its roots in the 1925 novel John Macnab by John Buchan. The story follows three protagonists: Sir Edward Leithen, John Palliser-Yeates and Lord Lamancha, all desperate to relieve the ennui that has engulfed them. The solution can only be something devilish, with a dash of daring. Under the mantle of John Macnab, they issue a warning to three Highland estates: within 48 hours they will remove a salmon or stag, undetected, and present it at the door of the house. On this, they stake their reputations and the danger proves innervating. The modern Macnab Challenge: bagging a salmon, stag and brace of grouse within one day between dawn and dusk, is derived from Buchan’s tale. It is a thrilling test of sporting skill (with a dash of luck thrown in). The Field’s Macnab Challenge is open to all those who have successfully completed a Macnab within the current sporting season. For those who have done so beforehand we invite them to join our Macnab Club.

Experience for Hunters and Anglers](https://outdoors-international.com/cast-and-blast-trips-the-ultimate-experience-for-hunters-and-anglers/) **Published:** April 21, 2023 **Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** Are you an avid hunter and angler looking for a unique adventure? Cast and blast trips offer a thrilling and unforgettable experience. These trips combine hunting and fishing into one action-packed adventure, allowing you to explore the outdoors and test your skills in two different activities. In this article, we’ll cover everything you need to know about cast and blast trips, from what they are to how to plan your own. ## What are Cast and Blast Trips? ### Cast and blast trips, also known as cast and blast adventures, are outdoor excursions that involve hunting and fishing in the same trip. Typically, these trips involve a morning or afternoon of hunting, followed by a fishing excursion in the afternoon or evening. Cast and blast trips can be customized to fit your interests and skill level, and can take place in a variety of locations, from remote wilderness areas to private hunting and fishing reserves. Cast and blast trips offer a number of benefits to hunters and anglers. First and foremost, they provide a unique opportunity to enjoy two of your favorite activities in one trip. Cast and blast trips also allow you to explore new areas and test your skills in different environments. They can be a great way to bond with friends or family members who share your passion for the outdoors, and they can also provide a welcome break from the stresses of daily life. ![Cast and Blast Trips](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Cast-and-Blast-Trips.jpg "Cast-and-Blast-Trips.jpg » Outdoors International") ## Planning Your Cast and Blast Trip ### If you’re interested in planning a cast and blast trip, there are several things to consider. 1. First, you’ll need to decide on the location for your trip. This will depend on a variety of factors, including your budget, the type of game and fish you want to hunt and catch, and your preferred style of hunting and fishing. 2. Once you’ve chosen a location, you’ll need to decide on the type of lodging and accommodations you’ll need. Many cast and blast trips offer all-inclusive packages that include lodging, meals, and equipment rental, while others require you to bring your own gear and make your own arrangements for accommodations. 3. You’ll also need to consider the timing of your trip. Cast and blast trips are typically seasonal, so you’ll need to plan your trip around the hunting and fishing seasons in your chosen location. You’ll also need to consider the weather conditions and other factors that could impact your trip, such as wildfires or natural disasters. ### Tips for a Successful Cast and Blast Trip ### To ensure a successful cast and blast trip, there are several things you can do to prepare. 1. First, make sure you have the right [gear for both hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/backpacking-gear-list/) and fishing. This may include firearms, ammunition, fishing rods and reels, and appropriate clothing and footwear. 2. You’ll also need to be familiar with the local hunting and fishing regulations in your chosen location. This may include obtaining the necessary licenses and permits, as well as following any specific rules or restrictions on hunting and fishing in the area. 3. Finally, it’s important to be realistic about your expectations for your trip. While cast and blast trips can be a lot of fun, they can also be physically and mentally challenging. Make sure you’re prepared for the rigors of the trip, and be open to learning new skills and techniques to make the most of your experience. ![The boats are equipped with two casting platforms that allow comfortable casting and fishing of two anglers at the same time, with remote operated electrical engine done by the guide.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Argentina-Cast-and-Blast-GDRC2-68.jpg "Argentina Golden Dorado Fishing Boat GDRC1 » Outdoors International") ### Obviously mixing your hunt with some fishing is a perfect combination. ### Most often, with our cast and blast outfitters, you’ll be hunting waterfowl or upland birds while you’re fishing. However, we do have some unique cast and blast trips where you will be big game hunting big game as well as bird hunting. Even some super awesome float [hunts for moose](https://outdoors-international.com/5-things-to-know-self-guided-moose-hunts/) or caribou where you can do some fishing along the way, and more….

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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

[hunt black bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/) go can be daunting, but there are some places that stand out. Which area you choose to hunt black bears, depends mostly on how you want to hunt. - In some states and provinces, [bears are hunted over bait](https://outdoors-international.com/bear-baiting-tip/) with the hunter in a tree stand or blind. - Some states allow bear hunting with dogs, and don’t knock it ’till you try it. Hunting behind hounds can be an exhilarating experience. - In other regions, drives are a traditional and successful method. - Or try your hand at a spot-and-stalk hunt in places with higher bear densities. In western regions, black bear hunts are typically spot-and-stalk. - [Calling can also be effective](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-call-in-a-black-bear/). - You also need to also consider if you want a classic black coloration, or a [color phase bear](https://outdoors-international.com/color-phase-black-bears/). - Is trophy size important to you? If so, you need to [hunt where big bears live](https://outdoors-international.com/biggest-black-bears/). When you’re ready to start planning your black bear hunt, just [**contact us**](#more-information). Be sure to let us know exactly what you have in mind, and we’ll do our best to help you find the perfect outfitter and get it booked. ## Where to Hunt Black Bears ### Let’s go over some of our favorite places to go black bear hunting. ![Black bear hunting in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/alaska-bear-hunt.jpg "Alaska Black Bear » Outdoors International") ### Alaska When choosing where to hunt black bears, the first thing to look at is the overall population. An estimated 100,000 black bears inhabit Alaska. Statewide, the [annual harvest increased steadily](https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=blackbearhunting.main) between 2003 and 2007, from about 2,500 to 3,250 bears. On an [Alaska black bear hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/black-bear-hunts-in-alaska/), color can vary from jet black to white. Another cool thing about Alaska is that you can combo a baited black bear hunt with other big game species, including [brown bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/). - Alaska offers the opportunity to take multiple bears on one hunt. - Great coastal spot-and-stalk opportunities. - Big bear potential. - [Combo with brown bears over bait!](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-hunting/) [ Get Pricing and More Information ](#more-information) ![The hunting territory is exclusive to the outfitter.

Another great thing about Alberta that’s great, is that there are a good number of color-phase bears. In fact, our hunters average 25% on colored bears ranging from blonde to cinnamon or chocolate. - Alberta has a spring bear hunting season. - Hunt over bait. - Two bear limit. - [Color phase bears are common.](https://outdoors-international.com/color-phase-black-bears/) [ Get Pricing and More Information ](#more-information) ![White Mountain Apache Reservation Bear Hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Arizona-white-mountain-Apache-reservation-black-bear-hunt.jpg "Rex Myrick Arizona Black Bear MMRR » Outdoors International") ### Arizona Very few hunters realize that the [black bear hunting in Arizona](https://outdoors-international.com/arizona-bear-hunts/) is VERY good. With a great population of record book size black bears, it is a good place to hunt. When black bear hunting Arizona, keep in mind that the bears tend to run slightly smaller in body size than their northern counterparts but what they may lack in body they make up for with skull size. - Spring and Fall seasons. - Lots of color phase bears. - Unique place to hunt bears while they’re feeding on prickly pears in the desert flats. - Spot-and-stalk only. - Our hunt on the White Mountain Apache Reservations DOES allow hunting with dogs and over bait.

The mild climate provides the bears with a very long feeding season starting early in the spring and ending late in the fall on the [salmon spawning rivers](https://outdoors-international.com/best-places-to-go-salmon-fishing/). With abundant food and low hunting pressure, it’s easy to see why coastal bears grow to such a large size. - Highest population density in North America. - Good numbers of trophy boars. - Great place to do a spot-and-stalk hunt in the spring. - Coastal hunting opportunities.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

**Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** There are some huge gators out there and Outdoors International would love to help you try to find one. **Content:** The best places to go [alligator hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/alligator/) is debatable, they range across the coastal plains of the Southeastern United States. Some states require that you take a training course prior to hunting alligators. We highly recommend taking this course even if it’s not required in the state you’re hunting, especially if you are doing an [unguided hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/diy/). - Alabama - Arkansas - [Florida](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/united-states/florida/) - Georgia - Mississippi - South Carolina - [Texas](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/united-states/texas/) [![Outdoors International Hunt Application Service](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Hunt-Application-Service-copy.jpg)](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-application-service/) ## The Best Places to Go Alligator Hunting ### The best states for non-residents to hunt gators are Georgia, South Carolina and Florida. The other states only allow residents to draw, unless you hunt with a licensed outfitter. ## Georgia The [DNR’s Alligator Management Plan](https://georgiawildlife.com/sites/default/files/wrd/pdf/management/2010_Alligator_Management_Plan.pdf) has played an important role in ensuring the long-term conservation, and sustainable harvest. Georgia has 200,000-250,000 alligators. To prevent overharvesting, Georgia has ten different hunting zones, each with a limited number of harvest permits based on the alligator population in that zone. You can apply at [online](http://www.gooutdoorsgeorgia.com/). If you are drawn, you can then purchase an [Alligator Harvest Permit](https://georgiawildlife.com/licenses-permits-passes/choose#alligator-permit), which must be held by a member of the alligator hunting party. ## South Carolina The [South Carolina Department of Natural Resources](http://www.dnr.sc.gov/wildlife/alligator/index.html) estimates that more than 100,000 alligators live in the state. Gators must be four feet of length or greater are legal, and hunters must capture the alligators using one or more of a variety of devices before killing the animal with a handgun or bang stick to a specific area in the back of the head. In South Carolina you can’t hunt on WMA’s, Wildlife Refuges, or lands enrolled in the Private Lands Alligator Program. A randomized computer drawing based on a preference point system will determine the [selection of hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/man-eating-crocodile/). Applicants can only apply and pay fees online or at one of the walk-up counters at a DNR Regional Office in Clemson, Florence, Columbia or Charleston. ## Florida [Florida issues alligator tags](https://outdoors-international.com/florida-alligator-hunt/) through a four phase, [random application process](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-application-service/). You can expect to receive a package in the mail with your license, permit and two CITES tags within six weeks.

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should.

Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH’s and their awesome staff. I made some new friends and will be back to Africa again 100%. **Brye Mangum** / OI Draw Winner ![Impala](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Dason-Lasiter-Client-South-Africa-Plains-Game-Hunt-Winner-DWHS-Archery-impala.jpg "Dason Lasiter Client South Africa Plains Game Hunt Winner DWHS Archery impala » Outdoors International") ### My most memorable and rewarding experience. This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

**Excerpt:** With around 100,000 total mountain goats in North America, figuring out where to hunt mountain goat isn't all that difficult. Securing a goat tag is the hard part. **Content:** There are around 100,000 total [mountain goats in North America](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/goats/mountain-goat/), so figuring out where to hunt mountain goat isn’t all that difficult. [Securing a goat tag is the hard part](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-draw-a-mountain-goat-tag/) unless you choose an area with [over-the-counter tags](https://outdoors-international.com/over-the-counter-mountain-goat-tags/). ## Where to Hunt Mountain Goat Mountain goats are the largest mammals found in their high-altitude alpine and sub-alpine habitats, which can exceed elevations of 13,000 feet. However, in some areas, such as coastal southern Alaska, they live near sea level. In these coastal areas of Alaska and BC we offer lower elevation hunts that can be very appealing, but availability is an issue. [Contact us for more information.](https://outdoors-international.com/contact-us/) ![Mountain Goat Range Map](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Mountain-Goat-Range-Map.png "Mountain Goat Range Map » Outdoors International")Mountain Goat Range MapSeveral states within the continental US have huntable populations, but tags are extremely limited. Roughly 80% are found in [Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-mountain-goat-hunt/) and [British Columbia](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-mountain-goat-hunt/). Goat tags in these regions are readily available, even over-the-counter in most units. - Alberta - Alaska - British Columbia - Colorado - Idaho - [Montana](https://outdoors-international.com/montana-mountain-goat-hunting/) - Nevada - Oregon - South Dakota - [Yukon Territory](https://outdoors-international.com/yukon-mountain-goat-hunt/) - Washington - Wyoming - Utah ![In 2011 Troy M. Sheldon of Alexandria, KY bagged the new B&C world record mountain goat in the Stikine River area of British Columbia.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/bc-world-record-mountain-goat-1-scaled-1-1400x1120.jpg "bc-world-record-mountain-goat-1-scaled » Outdoors International")In 2011 Troy M. Sheldon of Alexandria, KY bagged the [new B&C world record mountain goat](https://outdoors-international.com/world-record-mountain-goat-2/) in the Stikine River area of British Columbia. ## Best Places for Trophy Sized Goats ### If you’re wondering where to hunt mountain goat, the Boone and Crockett entries are overwhelmingly dominated by two locations. A look to the [Boone and Crockett](https://www.boone-crockett.org/) and [Pope and Young records](https://outdoors-international.com/world-record-mountain-goat/) reveals that that British Columbia dominates in producing book animals. **Even though BC is the clear winner, it’s followed fairly closely by coastal Alaska.** Couple that with [OTC tags](https://outdoors-international.com/over-the-counter-mountain-goat-tags/), and this makes choosing where to hunt mountain goat a no brainer. However, it doesn’t hurt to [apply in other places](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-application-service/) either. ### The Top 100 Records also include a few states in the Lower 48. #### Both British Columbia and Alaska are very appealing places to hunt goats, but if you want to hunt anywhere else you’ll need to play the odds and try to draw a tag. Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Montana, Colorado, and Nevada are all the next best contenders for where to hunt mountain goat. Applying is fairly straightforward, but can be confusing if you don’t know the regulations in each state. **[We can help you with an application strategy.](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-application-service/)** [ ![A successful mountain goat hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Alaska-Chugach-Mountain-Goat-Hunt-Report1-300x300.jpeg "Alaska Chugach Mountain Goat » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/montana-mountain-goat-hunting/) [ ![Trophy Mountain goat hunt in the Yukon](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/BBCB6-Outdoors-International-Yukon-Canada-Best-Mountain-Goat-Outfitter_0069-300x300.jpeg "BBCB6 Outdoors-International-Yukon-Canada-Best-Mountain-Goat-Outfitter_0069 » Outdoors International")![Yukon mountain goat hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/BBCB6-Outdoors-International-Yukon-Canada-Best-Mountain-Goat-Outfitter_0058-300x300.jpeg "BBCB6 Outdoors-International-Yukon-Canada-Best-Mountain-Goat-Outfitter_0058 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/yukon-mountain-goat-hunt/) [ ![Alaska Mountain Goat Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Pacific-Mountain-Guides-Mountain-Goat-6-1-300x300.jpg "Alaska Unit 6 Prince William Sound Mountain-Goat PMG » Outdoors International")![A Kodiak Island mountain goat hunt is truly an exceptional experience!](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/kodiak-island-mountain-goat-hunt-RE2-300x300.jpg "kodiak-island-mountain-goat-hunt-RE2 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-mountain-goat-hunt/) [ ![British Columbia mountain goat hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/BBCB-British-Columbia-Mountain-Goat-300x300.jpeg "BBCB-British-Columbia-Mountain-Goat » Outdoors International")![British Columbia Mountain Goat Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/IMG_9449_97213bc3-b211-4c81-ba3c-bbd8517cea95_1024x10242x-e1664289045841-300x300.jpeg "British Columbia mountain goat hunt LWO » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-mountain-goat-hunt/) [ Ask us about our mountain goat hunts ](https://outdoors-international.com/contact-us/) ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

[Kamchatka Fishing Guides and Outfitters](https://outdoors-international.com/kamchatka-fly-fishing/) **Published:** January 3, 2025 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Almost every angler has heard epic Kamchatka fly fishing tales about giant Rainbow trout, salmon, Dolly Varden and grayling. **Content:** Depending on the day, when fishing Kamchatka, you’ll either be wade fishing or float fishing from a drift boat or raft. At any time, you can fish a riffle for trophy-sized grayling that will rival anything in Alaska, but you’re probably there to [target trophy Rainbow trout](https://outdoors-international.com/strobel-lake-fishing-lodge/). Oh, but don’t forget, the salmon fishing is amazing, and the runs are incredible. [Fly fishing in Kamchatka](https://outdoors-international.com/fly-fish-kamchatka/) can be absolutely out of this world. ## What you need to know about fishing Kamchatka. - When fly fishing Kamchatka, you might be [swinging streamers](https://outdoors-international.com/essential-fly-fishing-gear-for-trout/), mousing, or throwing dry flies on floating line. - In [Kamchatka](https://outdoors-international.com/kamchatka-peninsula-facts/), **trout will destroy a mouse or streamer**. The trout are very aggressive eaters and there is no need to throw beads. - The **average rainbow trout is four pounds**, with some weighing more than six. Fish over 30 inches are caught yearly. - Dolly Varden, King salmon, Chums and Silver **salmon fishing can be amazing** depending on the time of year. - July is when you go for King salmon and Rainbow trout. - August is prime time for [salmon Fishing](https://outdoors-international.com/best-places-to-go-salmon-fishing/). [ Contact us to Book a Fishing Trip ](#more-information) The Kamchatka Peninsula has some of the highest fish densities in the world. The rivers of Kamchatka are filled with millions of salmon, grayling, Dolly Varden monster Rainbow trout. Depending on when you go, there are lots of Kings, Silvers, and Chums. ### If you like mousing for big trout, fishing Kamchatka is paradise. Everybody’s heard of the great Kamchatka salmon fishing, but it has some out-of-this-world [mousing for big rainbow trout](https://outdoors-international.com/kanektok-river-alaska-fly-fishing-lodge/) too. In fact, a **100 fish day on mouse patterns is not unheard of!** In addition to the Rainbows, Dolly Varden move up into the rivers in July as well, and you will catch A LOT of them. ![If you like mousing for big trout, Kamchatka is paradise.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Mousey-McMouse-Face.jpg "Mousey-McMouse-Face.jpg » Outdoors International") ### With more than a dozen watersheds, each with big salmon runs, the fly fishing Kamchatka is world class. The [rivers are stuffed with different species of fish](https://outdoors-international.com/jay-dawson-golden-dorado-river-cruiser-fishing-report/). Silvers will be coming up the rivers by the second week, and by now the Kings and Chums will be spawning. So, you will target the spawning beds or big trout. They will destroy a mouse or streamer, and there is no need to throw beads. ### Kamchatka has mind blowing hatches of various Stoneflies, Mayflies, and Caddis. The hatches can be so prolific that the caddis flies will cover the rafts up to an inch thick! In addition, there are both spring and fall Beatis, Green Drakes and Pale Morning Duns. July is the month of the big Caddis hatches, so you have to choose between mousing and throwing dry flies…. what a conundrum! ![Kamchatka heli-fishing](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Kamchatka-10.jpg "Kamchatka-helicopter » Outdoors International") ## Are you ready to book your Kamchatka fishing trip? ### Call us to discover how easy it is to book your dream trip with Outdoors International.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Rafting and Paddling --- ### [New Zealand Fly Fishing](https://outdoors-international.com/new-zealand-fly-fishing/) **Published:** May 3, 2019 **Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** New Zealand fly fishing may just possibly be the mecca of angling for serious fly fishers. The scenery is spectacular and the fly fishing is spectacularly good year round. It’s no wonder anglers visit New Zealand from all corners of the globe. Both the North and the South Islands have some great fly fishing for trophy sized brown and rainbow trout. ### If you are looking for a fly fishing vacation of a lifetime, you will love New Zealand’s big trout, uncrowded rivers and epic scenery. New Zealand fly fishing trips are among the most spectacular and challenging in the world. Backcountry New Zealand fly fishing trips are incredible. Explore the pristine beech forest, rivers, and towering peaks of New Zealand while you sight cast to big trout. It’s more like “Trout Hunting” than fishing. These fish are big, old and spooky, and on top of that, there aren’t a ton of them. If you are a good caster, and you’re ready to sight fish to big, hard to catch trout, this is the trip for you. - Customized authentic Kiwi fly fishing experience. - Choose from [multi-day backcountry excursions](https://outdoors-international.com/new-zealand-backcountry-fly-fishing/) or day trips. - You’ll be sight fishing. This is trout hunting for brown trout up to 10 lbs and rainbows up to 7. - In addition to the fishing, there are many other activity options in the area such as wine tours, bungee jumping, jet boating, skydiving, scenic flights and much more. More details can be provided on request and can be fit into your itinerary. ![A giant New Zealand trout](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/New-Zealand-Fly-Fishing-Brown-Trout.jpg "New-Zealand-Fly-Fishing-Brown-Trout.jpg » Outdoors International") ### This is a great time to be a fly fisherman in New Zealand. We’ll help you create an authentic, custom fishing itinerary that matches your budget. There is so much to see, do and experience in New Zealand, and your time is short, so too often your vacation turns into rushed tours of the top 10 sights. Our trips aren’t like that at all. It’s about experiencing a true, unique connection with the land, people and culture while fly fishing along the way. We understand how fishing conditions change throughout the season and we give you advice based on peak fishing times. When it comes to fly fishing, we have high standards, and do our best to set realistic expectations. Call us to discover how easy it is to book your dream trip with Outdoors International. ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won! We won this fully guided, all-inclusive New Zealand red stag hunt in the OI Draw! I highly recommend this hunt, and Outdoors International—fantastic company, amazing meals, and hunts that are second to none. **Brandon Ball** / OI Draw Winner ![Brye with his awesome kudu bull](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Brye-Mangum-Africa-Hunt-Winner-Trip-Report9.jpeg "Brye-Mangum-Africa-Hunt-Winner-Trip-Report9 » Outdoors International") ### I’m so grateful for the opportunity! Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH’s and their awesome staff. I made some new friends and will be back to Africa again 100%. **Brye Mangum** / OI Draw Winner ![Impala](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Dason-Lasiter-Client-South-Africa-Plains-Game-Hunt-Winner-DWHS-Archery-impala.jpg "Dason Lasiter Client South Africa Plains Game Hunt Winner DWHS Archery impala » Outdoors International") ### My most memorable and rewarding experience. This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

hunting safaris in Mozambique will take you back 100 years. This is one of the only areas left in all of Africa where you can hunt truly wild, free ranging game. **Content:** Mozambique is a unique destination that offers an unparalleled [hunting experience in Africa](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/hunting-destinations/africa/) that will take you back 100 years. With its vast and diverse wildlife, breathtaking landscapes, and rich cultural heritage, Mozambique is a popular choice for safari hunters looking for an unforgettable adventure in some of the last, truly wild areas left in Southern Africa. This is one of the only areas left in all of Africa where you can hunt truly wild, free ranging game. In this article, we will explore the world of [Mozambique safari hunting](/destinations/africa/mozambique/) and provide you with all the information you need to plan your next hunting trip. ## Mozambique: The Land of Safari Hunting Mozambique is a country located in southeastern Africa, bordered by Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and eSwatini. The country has a coastline that stretches over 2,500 kilometers along the Indian Ocean, making it an ideal destination for beachgoers and water sports enthusiasts. Mozambique is also known for its vast and diverse wildlife, with over 700 species of birds, 200 species of mammals, and 1,500 species of plants. The country is home to the “Big Five” game species, including [elephants](https://outdoors-international.com/elephant-hunting/), [lions](https://outdoors-international.com/mozambique-lion-hunt/), [leopards](https://outdoors-international.com/leopard-hunting-techniques/), [Cape buffalo](https://outdoors-international.com/mozambique-cape-buffalo-hunting/), and [rhinoceros](https://outdoors-international.com/rhino-hunting/), as well as other sought-after game species like [sable antelope](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/african-plains-game/sable-hunts/), [kudu](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/african-plains-game/kudu-hunts/), [nyala](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/african-plains-game/nyala-hunts/), and [impala](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/impala-hunts/). - All free range hunting. You will not be hunting behind a high fence like in [South Africa](https://outdoors-international.com/safari-hunting-in-south-africa/). One of the few areas in Africa that still permits big game hunting, Mozambique is truly the untouched gem of Africa. - Mozambique safari hunting is a [species collectors paradise](https://outdoors-international.com/crocodile-and-hippo-hunting-south-africa/). - You will be staying in rustic, traditional African fly camps equipped with gas operated hot, running water; showers; flush toilets; fully-equipped, gas operated kitchens; and solar panel electric lights and plugins for your electrical equipment. - Prime hunting season is from April to November with the best time being from the beginning of June onwards. ## The Best Time to Go Hunting in Mozambique The [best time to go hunting in Mozambique](https://outdoors-international.com/podcast-de-wet-van-wyk/) is during the dry season, which runs from April to October. During this time, the vegetation is less dense, making it easier to spot game. The cooler temperatures also make it more comfortable for hunting. However, the best time to hunt specific game species can vary, so it is best to [consult with Outdoors International](#more-information). ## The Hunting Experience in Mozambique Mozambique safari hunting offers an authentic and unforgettable experience. The vast wilderness areas and diverse wildlife make it an ideal destination for hunters looking for a challenge. Whether you are a seasoned hunter or a beginner, Mozambique offers a hunting experience that is second to none. ## Hunting Species in Mozambique ### Dangerous Game Mozambique is known for its dangerous game species, which are the most [dangerous game](https://outdoors-international.com/african-dangerous-game/) species to hunt.

[Livingstone Suni](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/suni-hunts/) 2. Red Duiker 3. Blue Duiker 4. Oribi 5. Sharpe’s Grysbok 6. [Grey (Common) Duiker](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/grey-duiker-hunts/) ![Being up close to a pod of hippos surely gets the adrenaline pumping.

Some of the most popular hunting methods include spot and stalk, safari walk, hunting from a vehicle, hunting from a blind, and [hunting with hounds](https://outdoors-international.com/leopard-hunting-techniques/). Each method provides a unique hunting experience, and hunters can choose the method that best suits their preferences. ### Spot and Stalk Spot and stalk is a popular hunting method in Mozambique, especially for [plains game](https://outdoors-international.com/antelope-of-the-world/). The hunter and the guide will walk through the bush, scanning the area for game. Once an animal is spotted, the hunter will stalk the animal until they are within range for a shot. ### Safari Walk The safari walk is a unique hunting method that allows hunters to experience the bush on foot. The hunter and the guide will walk through the wilderness, looking for game. This method [requires a high level of fitness and endurance](https://outdoors-international.com/train-to-hunt-no-shape-to-elk-shape-week-1/), as the hunter may need to cover long distances. ### Safari Vehicle Hunting from a vehicle is a popular method in Mozambique, especially for dangerous game. The hunter and the guide will drive through the wilderness, looking for game. Once an animal is spotted, the hunter will take a shot from the vehicle or get out to take a shot. ### Hunting from a Blind Hunting from a blind is a popular method for hunting plains game in Mozambique. A blind is a camouflaged structure that provides cover for the hunter while they wait for game to come within range. This method requires patience and can be very rewarding. ### Hunting with Hounds Hunting leopards with hounds is a unique and exciting hunting method in Mozambique. The hunter and the guide will track game using specially trained dogs. Once the dogs have found the animal, the hunter will take a shot. ![Mozambique cape buffalo hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Africa-Mozambique-Botes-Cape-Buffalo-2.jpg "Africa-Mozambique-Botes-Cape-Buffalo-2 » Outdoors International") ## Hunting Regulations in Mozambique Hunting regulations in Mozambique are strict, and hunters must adhere to them to ensure the sustainability of the wildlife populations.

**Content:** Picture yourself fishing in the caribbean, poling across gin-clear flats just one cast away from a potential world record. Imagine big game battles on the high seas with a tropical paradise as your backdrop. Now think how it’ll feel to do all that and more in a single day. ## Fishing in the Caribbean is a rite of passage for any ambitious angler. The Caribbean is our preferred destination for anglers looking for [**seriously large bonefish**](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing-trips/species/bonefish/) and sizeable permit in the spring, summer and fall time frames. Just picture yourself poling across gin-clear flats, casting for big, tailing bonefish with a tropical paradise as your backdrop. Or maybe you want to do some reef fishing, or possibly go out further for marlin and sailfish. The Caribbean is an especially great option for anglers that live in the Eastern U.S. and the Southwest, where access is quick and easy. With regular, direct access to such islands as [Grand Bahama, Abaco, Andros](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/caribbean/), and Nassau, it’s the perfect option for a quick weekend escape or an extended, week-long trip. ## Fantastic fishing awaits in the Caribbean. ### There are many incredible destinations in the Caribbean to choose from and so much to know ahead of your fishing vacation in this region. ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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!

Hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/argentina/) **Published:** April 23, 2025 **Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** Argentina’s untamed landscapes pulse with adventure—a [roaring free range red stag in La Pampa](https://outdoors-international.com/free-range-red-stag-hunting/), a trout rising for your fly in Patagonia, doves swarming Córdoba’s skies, or a water buffalo wading through marshes. Argentina offers the ultimate outdoor trifecta: world-class fly fishing, legendary wingshooting, and diverse big game hunting, all wrapped in Argentina’s fiery hospitality. From Patagonia’s glacial rivers to Córdoba’s grain fields, La Pampa’s grasslands to Corrientes’ wetlands, each region offers a unique thrill for anglers, bird hunters, and big game hunters. Ready for your next adventure? Outdoors International has your ticket—here’s why [Argentina’s calling](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/south-america/argentina/) and how to book today. ![Releasing a giant rainbow](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Estancia-Laguna-Verde-Strobel-Lake-Fishing-Lodge-in-Argentina-Patagonia-Releasing-Giant-Rainbow-Trout.jpg "Estancia-Laguna-Verde-Strobel-Lake-Fishing-Lodge-in-Argentina-Patagonia-Releasing-Giant-Rainbow-Trout.jpg » Outdoors International") ## Fly Fishing Argentina: A Trout Angler’s Nirvana Argentina’s fly fishing is a global benchmark, especially for trout fanatics. [Patagonia’s pristine rivers](https://outdoors-international.com/fly-fishing-patagonia-argentina/)—Limay, Chimehuin, Collón Curá, Malleo—teem with wild brown, rainbow, and brook trout, averaging 18-24 inches, with lunkers hitting 10 pounds. December to April, hatches explode, offering dry-fly bliss (think Adams or caddis) and streamer-charged fights. Whether wading intimate spring creeks or drifting vast waters like the Alumine, you’re in a [trout fishing](https://outdoors-international.com/trout/) paradise rivaling Montana or New Zealand. Packages can be quite affordable and include expert guides, cozy lodges, and asado feasts under Andean stars. ### Strobel Lake: Giant Argentina Rainbows Strobel Lake, often called Jurassic Lake, is a fly fishing paradise in Argentina’s remote Santa Cruz province, deep in Patagonia’s windswept desert. Renowned for its massive wild rainbow trout—averaging 8-10 pounds, with 20-pounders common—this 65-square-kilometer, crystal-clear lake offers unparalleled angling. Stocked in the 1990s with trout eggs, the lake’s abundant scuds and shrimp fuel explosive fish growth, making every cast a shot at a trophy. Anglers sight-fish from rocky shores or wade bays like Monsters or Tasmania, using floating lines with slow-retrieved streamers, nymphs, or scud patterns, often battling fierce winds. [Our Strobel Lake fishing lodges](https://outdoors-international.com/strobel-lake-fishing-lodge/) provide exclusive access to over 25 km of shoreline, the Barrancoso River, and Moro Creek, with luxe accommodations, asado feasts, and guides who pinpoint chrome monsters. A bucket-list trip, it’s a grueling journey—5 hours from El Calafate—but the thrill of hooking a 15-pound rainbow makes it unforgettable. ### Golden Dorado: An Epic Fishing Excursion [Golden dorado fishing in Argentina](https://outdoors-international.com/argentina-golden-dorado-fishing/) is a heart-pounding adventure, chasing one of the world’s fiercest freshwater predators in the mighty Paraná River and its tributaries, particularly in Corrientes’ pristine wetlands. Known as the “river tiger,” golden dorado—flashing iridescent gold with black stripes—average 10-20 pounds, with brutes hitting 40 pounds, delivering acrobatic leaps and bulldog runs that test 8-weight rods and 20-pound tippets. From September to April, anglers cast topwater poppers, streamers, or skaters in clear channels, oxbow lagoons, or boulder-strewn rapids, often sight-fishing for lunging strikes. Corrientes’ lodges, like those near Iberá Wetlands, offer rustic luxury—think grilled pacú, Malbec nights, and expert guides who read the river’s moods. Trips are typically 5 days, including boats and meals, a 2-hour flight from Buenos Aires. It’s a fly angler’s dream, blending explosive action with Argentina’s raw, humid wilderness. Our OI Fishing Consultants are your secret weapon. We track seasonal shifts—peak hatches, high-water bites—and pair you with outfitters who know every pool. Novices get casting tips; pros chase record fish. From Patagonia’s wild rivers to La Pampa’s hidden gems, we’ll craft your perfect trip.

Fueled by vast grain fields, roosting woods, mild climates, and no predators, dove populations soar, letting you blast 1,000+ shells daily from January to April. Guided by scouts who pinpoint roosts, you’ll post up in fields or scrub, hitting 90% of your shots with a 20-gauge. It’s relentless, exhilarating, and uniquely Argentine. ### Waterfowl Hunting: Argentina Cast and Blast [Duck hunting in Argentina](https://outdoors-international.com/argentina-cast-and-blast/) offers an exhilarating experience, particularly in the wetlands of Entre Ríos and Buenos Aires provinces, where abundant marshes and mild climates create a waterfowl haven. From May to August, hunters target over 14 species, including the prized rosy-billed pochard, silver teal, and Brazilian duck, with daily limits often exceeding 20 birds per gun. Using 12- or 20-gauge shotguns, you’ll hunt from blinds over decoys in flooded fields or along lagoon edges, guided by experts who call in flocks with uncanny precision. Lodges like those near Rosario blend gaucho charm with gourmet asado, local wines, and cozy fireplaces, gourmet meals and transfers. Just a short drive or flight from Buenos Aires, Argentina’s duck hunts deliver high-volume action and South American flair, rivaling North America’s best flyways. We design the ultimate bird hunt: meticulous planning, seasoned guides, and lodges serving gourmet lomito, [Mendoza Malbec,](https://www.wine-searcher.com/region-grape-mendoza-malbec?srsltid=AfmBOoqBsLO75Wk6zpK1q528vFMftn1tilaWgc1GRmK8T_9_5wnyAfYv) and fresh empanadas.

But the diversity steals the show: native puma, [wild boar](https://outdoors-international.com/swine-slam/), capybara, and exotic blackbuck antelope, water buffalo, axis deer, fallow deer, mouflon, and multi-horned sheep roam free-range ranches or estates. Plenty of combo hunts—stag plus dove or buffalo—maximize your haul. Our OI Hunting Consultants tailor every stalk, from [La Pampa’s caldén scrub](https://outdoors-international.com/argentina-red-stag-hunting/) to [Corrientes’ buffalo filled bogs](https://outdoors-international.com/argentina-water-buffalo-hunting/).

Caldén woodlands shelter red stag, wild boar, and blackbuck, while dove flocks swarm grain fields. The Colorado River tempts anglers with trout and perch. [Parque Luro reserve](https://larutanatural.gob.ar/en/must-see/98/parque-luro-provincial-reserve), south of Santa Rosa, teems with deer, and [Lihué Calel National Park’s](https://larutanatural.gob.ar/en/must-see/32/lihue-calel-national-park) scrub hosts pumas and guanacos. Hunt, fish, or shoot, then dine on asado under starry plains—La Pampa’s a no-fuss base with raw charm. - ### Patagonia: Fly Fishing Eden Patagonia’s Andes foothills, spanning Río Negro and Neuquén, are fly fishing’s crown jewel. Glacial rivers—Limay, Aluminé, Chimehuin—carve through pine forests and steppe, brimming with trophy trout. December-April, you’ll cast to rising browns or strip streamers for rainbows. Red stag and [wild boar](https://outdoors-international.com/swine-slam/) roam nearby hills for hunters, while [dove shooting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-for-doves/) thrives in northern reaches. Lodges blend rustic elegance—think wood-fired grills, Malbec, and lake views. Fly into Bariloche, then soak in Patagonia’s vastness. It’s trout heaven with a hunting twist. - ### Córdoba: Wingshooting Capital Córdoba, in Argentina’s central heart, is the [dove hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/larry-hoffman/) mecca. Its rolling hills and grain fields, a 700-km drive from Buenos Aires, support endless dove roosts, peaking January-April. You’ll shoot thousands of rounds in a day, guided to prime blinds. Hunters can add wild boar or blackbuck, while anglers fish nearby Tercero River for carp or dorado. Luxe lodges serve parrilla feasts; nearby Córdoba city offers colonial charm and Jesuit history. For high-volume shooting, Córdoba’s unmatched… But don’t sleep on the big game hunting! Cordoba has some excellent [horseback hunts for stags](https://outdoors-international.com/argentina-red-stag-hunting/). - ### Corrientes: Buffalo and Wetland Wonders Corrientes, in Argentina’s northeast (800 km from Buenos Aires), is a big game hotspot where wetlands meet savanna. March-August, hunt massive water buffalo in free-range marshes, or stalk axis deer and wild boar. Dove shooting thrives year-round, and anglers chase golden dorado in the Paraná River—think 20-pounders on flies. Rustic estancias offer mate-sipping mornings and grilled pacú dinners.

and Outfitters](https://outdoors-international.com/desert-bighorn-sheep-facts/) **Published:** July 7, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** After their populations reached the brink of extinction with the colonization of the American Southwest during the early 16th century, populations stabilized and have since increased due to conservation efforts. **Content:** It has been estimated that at one point, the combined numbers of all [bighorn sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/) subspecies was somewhere in the realm of 1-2 million in North America. Unfortunately, after the colonization of the American Southwest during the early 16th century, Desert bighorn sheep populations dropped down to the brink of extinction. Their decline was due to over hunting, habitat loss and disease passed on from domestic livestock. This stabilization is due entirely to conservation efforts by hunters. ## DESERT BIGHORN SHEEP Hunts ### Outdoors International can help you book with a great Desert Bighorn sheep hunting outfitter that fits your expectations.

Desert bighorn sheep can be hunted in Arizona, [Mexico](https://outdoors-international.com/mexico-desert-bighorn-sheep-hunt/), Nevada and Utah. - In the [Boone and Crockett](http://www.boone-crockett.org/) Club all-time record book there have been just over 1,000 entries for desert bighorn meeting the 168 inch all-time minimum. - Of those entries 62% came from Arizona and Mexico. - The World record desert bighorn was taken by a Native American in 1940 and scored 205 ⅛ inches and is owned by the [Arizona Desert Bighorn Sheep Society](https://www.adbss.org/). ### Desert Bighorn Sheep are a subspecies of North American bighorn sheep and a member of the *bovidae* family. They usually average about five feet in length, standing approximately 2 ½ to 3 ½ feet at the shoulder. Adult males can weigh anywhere between 100 to up to 220 pounds, with ewes somewhere between 100-150 pounds. Males usually live 9-13 years and a few have been reported to live to 18 years of age. Ewes live longer, usually reaching 12-20 years of age. Desert sheep are broad, heavy bodied animals with the ability to move seemingly effortlessly through steep rocky terrain. Their keen eyesight and concave, elastic hooves enable them to detect and evade would be predators such as [mountain lions.](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/mountain-lion/) One of their most notable characteristics are their thick, brown, curvaceous horns which can reach over three feet long. Their horns are a permanent keratin sheath that covers a bony core attached to the skull. Not only can the horns reach three feet in length, but a [mature, full curl ram](https://outdoors-international.com/aj-kissel-archery-desert-bighorn/) can reach a spread of up to 30 inches. They are also very heavy, with combined skull and horn weight of some rams reaching almost thirty pounds. It’s pretty common to see mature rams with their horn tips broken or missing. This is called “brooming” and is usually done intentionally as the tips begin to interfere with their vision. [Desert sheep use their](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/bighorn-sheep/desert/) horns to break open cactus for food and, of course, fighting. ### Habits of Desert Bighorn Sheep [Desert bighorn sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/) are a herd animal, and similar to [mule deer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/mule-deer/), rams and ewes typically live separately for most of the year. They form groups of about 8-10, but have been known to reach herd sizes of up to one hundred. Rut takes place from July to September with most of the breeding done by the dominant males. These contests are fierce and sometimes end in death. The rams attack each other by ramming their thick skulls and horns into each other while running at full speed. These brutal fights can last several hours with the winner getting the spoils, or in this case the ewe. Unlike other big game animals, [desert bighorn sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/oi-draw-program/) are the most active during the day and bed at night. They’ve also developed the ability to go extended periods of time without water. They sometimes go weeks and even months without water. Getting most of their moisture from browse, cactus and temporary rain pools. Their bodies can fluctuate several degrees, and they can even lose up to thirty percent of their body weight without dying. Desert sheep are extremely adaptable, resourceful and resilient.

The two most common species found in the region are the mountain caribou and the woodland caribou. The [mountain caribou](https://outdoors-international.com/mountain-caribou-hunt-in-british-columbia/), also known as the northern caribou, thrives in high-elevation mountainous regions. These majestic animals are well-adapted to the rugged terrain and are known for their large antlers and thick fur. On the other hand, the woodland caribou is found in the boreal forests of British Columbia. They have a more compact build and smaller antlers compared to their mountain-dwelling counterparts. To have a successful caribou hunting trip, it’s crucial to understand the behavior, habitat, and migration patterns of the specific caribou species you’re targeting. This knowledge will help you determine the best hunting locations and strategies to employ. ![Premier Mountain caribou hunt in British Columbia](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/British-Columbia-Mountain-Caribou-Hunt-BBCB-11-1.jpg "British-Columbia-Mountain-Caribou-Hunt-BBCB1 » Outdoors International")Caribou tags in BC are available OTC.## Hunting regulations and permits in British Columbia Before caribou hunting British Columbia, it’s essential to familiarize yourself with the hunting regulations and obtain the necessary permits. The province has strict guidelines in place to ensure the sustainability of the caribou population and promote responsible hunting practices. To hunt caribou in British Columbia, you’ll need a valid hunting license, which can be obtained through the [British Columbia Wildlife Federation](https://bcwf.bc.ca/) or authorized vendors. Additionally, you may need specific tags or permits depending on the species and type of hunt you’re planning. Caribou tags are available over-the-counter. It’s crucial to review the hunting regulations annually, as they may change to adapt to the population dynamics and conservation efforts. Non-compliance with these regulations can result in severe penalties, so it’s essential to be well-informed and follow the rules. ![late season mountain caribou hunt in bc](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/British-Columbia-Mountain-Caribou-Hunt-BBCB-1-1.jpg "British-Columbia-Mountain-Caribou-Hunt-BBCB1 » Outdoors International")Our special late season Mountain caribou hunt is a banger!## Best time and locations for caribou hunting British Columbia British Columbia offers a vast expanse of hunting opportunities for caribou enthusiasts.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

Hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/marco-polo-sheep-facts/) **Published:** February 17, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Things to consider before booking a Marco Polo sheep hunt. This is a true mountain hunt at a very high altitude, and isn't for sissies. **Content:** Of all the sheep species, the Marco Polo *(Ovis ammon polii)* is arguably one of the most popular to sportsman, especially among [die hard sheep hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/). They stand as a captivating and esteemed representative of [argali](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/argali/), the magnificent giant sheep of Asia. They can be found in the mountainous regions of Central Asia. Their most notable characteristic is their large spiraling horns, gracefully extending over 70 inches in length. The Marco Polo argali claims the title of the most awe-inspiring trophy of wild sheep worldwide, and we proudly work with the best outfitter available. ## Argali Hunts ### Here at Outdoors International, we work with only the best argali hunting outfitters in the world. [ ![Tajikistan Marco Polo Hunting in the Wakhan Corridor](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Tajikistan-Marco-Polo-Hunting-8-ARQ1-300x300.jpg "Tajikistan Marco Polo Hunting 8 ARQ1 » Outdoors International")![Tajikistan Marco Polo Hunting in the Wakhan Corridor](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Tajikistan-Marco-Polo-Hunting-4-ARQ1-300x300.jpg "Tajikistan Marco Polo Hunting 4 ARQ1 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/marco-polo-hunting-tajikistan/) [ Ask us about an argali hunt ](#more-information) ## Marco Polo Sheep Hunting Hunting Marco Polo [sheep gained popularity in the hunting world](https://outdoors-international.com/ovis/) in the 1950’s, but were initially only allowed to be hunted by Afghan royalty. It wasn’t until the late 1960’s when the first American Hunters were allowed to hunt them. One of the most fascinating things about them is how big they can actually get. The [World Record Marco Polo](https://outdoors-international.com/world-record-marco-polo-sheep/) was 71 7/8 inches on one side and 73 inches on the other with a whopping final score of 256″. The Godfather of Marco Polo Sheep hunting is a man by the name of Hossein “Soudy” Golabchi. He is the proud owner of seven of the 10 largest Marco Polo ever harvested. #### Early Season Hunts The early season in Tajikistan runs from September through October. On these early season hunts you will spike out to give you the best opportunity to get on trophy rams. Throughout the autumn months of September and October, temperatures in the Pamir Mountains typically fluctuate between the mid-20s and mid-40s Fahrenheit, intermittently accompanied by snowfall and freezing temperatures. In November, temperatures plunge further, with average lows settling in the mid-teens Fahrenheit. #### Marco Polo Rut Hunts The Marco Polo rut in Tajikistan runs Mid-November through December. The latter half of January also presents favorable conditions. During this time, the arrival of snow urges the sheep to descend, enhancing the prospects of glassing up a trophy ram. Although the rut subsides by then, it is common for previously unseen sheep to emerge during this period. #### Late Hunts Marco Polo hunting Tajikistan winds down with the [late hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/bezoar-ibex-hunting-in-turkey/), which runs January 1 through March 1. On the late hunts you will usually return to base camp each night as the temperatures get quite cold. Typically you will travel to and from camp by either vehicle or foot. ![Marco Polo Hunting Tajikistan](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/tajikistan.jpg "» Outdoors International")Your base camp will often be over 10,000 feet on a Marco Polo sheep hunt.### Marco Polo Sheep Range Marco Polo sheep are found in Afghanistan, China, Kyrgyzstan and [Tajikistan](https://outdoors-international.com/marco-polo-hunting-tajikistan/). The war in Afghanistan precludes hunting there at present, and China closed the door on Marco Polo sheep hunting there as well. Now only [Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan are viable choices](https://outdoors-international.com/marco-polo-argali-hunting-tajikistan-vs-kyrgyzstan/) for a Marco Polo sheep hunt. Kyrgyzstan Marco Polo hunts are cheaper than Tajikistan hunts. They are done at slightly lower elevations, and result in [somewhat smaller trophies](https://outdoors-international.com/tian-shan-argali/) as a rule. The [World Record Marco Polo](https://outdoors-international.com/world-record-marco-polo-sheep/) came from Tajikistan. ### Marco Polo Huntin is a High Altitude Mountain Hunt They can be found in elevations from 10,000 feet to almost 16,000, feet. They will typically stay in groups of a few dozen sheep during the winter and break up into smaller groups during the summer months. During the rut, adolescent rams steer clear, as only mature rams fight for the right to pick their ewes. Generally hunting camps are located around 10,000 feet above sea level, with the actual hunting taking place at elevations up to 15,000 feet or more. [Acclimatization, or adjusting to altitude](https://www.princeton.edu/~oa/safety/altitude.html), requires special techniques and medication. Experts recommend really taking it easy the first few days at altitude, and for the duration of the hunt, drink plenty of liquids and take prescription medication Diamox or generic form Acetazolamide, 250 mg tablet each morning and each evening. And a couple 200 mg Ibuprofen tablets each morning and evening as needed will help with headaches and sore muscles. This is an extremely physical hunt and requires the hunter to [be in peak physical condition](https://outdoors-international.com/train-to-hunt-no-shape-to-elk-shape-week-1/). The altitude alone is enough to humble even toughest guys. It is recommended that you use something which limits your oxygen while training up for this hunt as that will be one of your biggest hurdles. ![Marco Polo sheep are usually hunted using small, sturdy, surefooted horses, especially in Kyrgyzstan.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/happy-marco-polo-hunter.jpg "happy-marco-polo-hunter » Outdoors International")Marco Polo sheep are usually hunted using small, sturdy, surefooted horses, especially in Kyrgyzstan### You’ll usually be hunting from horseback. Marco Polo sheep are usually hunted using small, sturdy, surefooted horses, [especially in Kyrgyzstan](https://outdoors-international.com/kyrgyzstan-ibex-hunt/). Be sure that you pack a rifle scabbard in your hunting gear, else you will spend many days bouncing around in the saddle with your rifle slung on your back, and this is definitely not comfortable. If you are hunting with horses, you’ll find these people to be remarkable horsemen. These little horses are incredibly tough, and in some cases, they can get the hunter right to the animal. In Tajikistan, you’ll probably be hunting from a Russian jeep called a *Bigfoot*. Be sure to pack a white camo outer garment as most, if not all, of your hunting will be done in snow. ![Ibex hunting in Kyrgyzstan](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/uploads-oint/2018/11/Mid-Asian-Ibex-Hunting-in-Kyrgyzstan-AMO-3-e1615898730139.jpg "Mid-Asian-Ibex-Hunting-Kyrgyzstan-AMO » Outdoors International") ### Most hunters combo their Marco Polo hunting trip with Mid-Asian Ibex. Hunters typically see many Mid-Asian ibex on a Marco Polo sheep hunt. Game densities are generally quite high and vary from area to area. Making your hunt a Marco Polo, [Ibex hunting combo](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/ibex/) is a good idea, especially if you want to get it done all in one trip. ### ![Guides with a big ram.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Guides-with-Mark-Shears-57-inch-Marco-Polo-Feb.-2015.jpg "Guides-with-Mark-Shears-57-inch-Marco-Polo-Feb.-2015 » Outdoors International")Best Caliber for Hunting Marco Polo Sheep The hunting terrain consists of very high and wide alpine valleys separated by mountain ridges. Rams are often spotted in locations where it is impossible to get real close, forcing the hunter to make shots of 300 to 500 yards or more. Considering that a wounded and lost ram ends the hunt, practice as much [long range shooting](https://outdoors-international.com/long-range-shooting-for-central-asian-hunts/) as possible before leaving home. Experts recommend calibers of .270 Winchester or higher, with some of the belted cartridges such as 300 and 338 magnums being ideal. ### Marco Polo Hunting Permits and Licenses Marco Polo sheep are CITES trophies, requiring a great deal of permit and license preparation be done before a Marco Polo hunt can actually take place. - Kyrgyzstan and [Tajikistan](https://outdoors-international.com/marco-polo-hunting-tajikistan/) guides must purchase a hunting licence for every individual hunter they take afield. - Then they must insure that every US hunter’s name is on the Kyrgyzstan or [Tajikistan List of Official](https://outdoors-international.com/marco-polo-hunting-tajikistan/) Hunters which is sent to US Fish & Wildlife each spring. - Each US hunter must then apply for an [Argali Import Permit](https://www.fws.gov/service/3-200-21-import-sport-hunted-trophies-argali) from US Fish & Wildlife Permitting Office. - The outfitter must secure a CITES Export Document and a Veterinary Certificate after you take [your ram](https://outdoors-international.com/pakistan-sindh-ibex-hunting/). ### Importing Your Trophy into the United States Requirements for importing a Marco Polo trophy into the United States: For residents of the United States, the acquisition of a federal import permit becomes mandatory. It is crucial to clarify that this requirement arises from the [U.S. Endangered Species Act](https://www.fws.gov/law/endangered-species-act), unrelated to CITES regulations. Our outfitter supports our clients throughout the application process for these import permits, with the understanding that the hunt itself must be booked before initiating this procedure. A special license, specifically assigned to the hunter’s name, must be allocated prior to the approval of the import permit application by the USFWS. These licenses are issued to outfitting companies based on designated areas. When a hunter confirms their booking, we reserve a license in their name and promptly provide the relevant information to the USFWS. 1. Hunting License 2. Cites Export Permit 3.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

The Skeena River draws its name from the Gitxsan word “Ksan” (or K’Shian – later anglicized to ‘The Skeena’) which means “river of the mists”. The prefix ‘Git’ which means “people of” combined with the word ‘Ksan’ renders Gitksan (or Gitxsan), literally “the people of the river of mists”. Similarly, the name of the village of Gitanmaax literally means “people who [fish by firelight](https://outdoors-international.com/kodiak-island-fishing-lodge/)“. The [Skeena River has excellent fishing](https://outdoors-international.com/skeena-river-steelhead/) for salmon in the summer, and great steelhead from spring to fall. Even average size fish in the Skeena region are considered trophies when compared to catches taken elsewhere. Steelhead weigh more that twenty pound and chinook over fifty pounders are not uncommon. Local biologists have also netted several world-record size chum salmon as well as chinook in excess of one hundred pounds.

Arizona Hunting Units 12A East, 12A West and 12B are known especially for [world-class mule deer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/mule-deer/). Located near the [North Rim of the Grand Canyon](https://www.grandcanyon.org/), the Kaibab offers rugged terrain, dense forests, and open meadows where hunters can spot trophy-quality bucks. Seasons align with the rut, enhancing opportunities to hunt mature mule deer with impressive antler growth. With limited tags and careful management, the Kaibab provides a high-quality hunting experience that promises a rewarding adventure in one of Arizona’s most iconic hunting areas. ### We highly suggest that you [hire a good outfitter](#more-information) if you draw a tag on The Kaibab! ![There is so much more to a Kaibab mule deer hunt than just harvesting a giant trophy mule deer buck](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Kaibab-Mule-Deer-Hunt-2.jpg "Kaibab-Mule-Deer-Hunt-2.jpg » Outdoors International") ## Mule Deer Hunting on The Kaibab ### Arizona Hunting Units 12A East, 12A West and 12B #### Unit 12A West is your best bet for drawing a great mule deer tag in Arizona. Many hunters think of [the Arizona Strip](https://outdoors-international.com/az-strip-13a-13b/) first, but unless you have maximum points , you’ll likely never draw a tag for Unit 13A or 13B. In fact, no nonresident has drawn a rifle Strip tag in the past ten years without having the maximum number of points. We suggest giving up on dreams of mule deer hunting the Strip tag and, instead, apply for a West side late deer tag. [We can help.](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-application-service/) #### Units 12A East does require near max points, but the rewards are great. If you’re lucky enough to draw an East side Kaibab tag are in store for an incredible [Arizona mule deer hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/arizona-mule-deer/). The premium late season rut hunts in Unit 12A East have the highest success rates on [trophy mule deer](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-mule-deer/), but lots of huge bucks have been taken in the early rifle and archery hunts. 12A East can be tough to hunt though. It is rough, thickly vegetated, wilderness country that requires a lot of glassing. During the late season, you should get high and glass the lower country. On the summer archery hunts, you should hunt in the higher forest country. Find water and be patient. [Let us know if you draw](#more-information) an Arizona Hunting Unit 12A-East Mule Deer tag.

Best Elk Units in Arizona](https://outdoors-international.com/arizona-elk-units/) **Published:** August 22, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Trophy quality on ALL these Arizona elk hunts is VERY good, however many bulls will have broken antlers during the late season. Hunters can expect to see 370″ class bulls in the premier units and 340-350″ bulls on the “lesser” quality units. Bulls above 400″ are taken in Arizona every year. **Content:** Even though it’s incredibly difficult to draw a tag in the best elk Units in Arizona, it’s worth it! Then, once you do draw, having an outfitter help you with your hunt just makes good sense. A look through [B&C](https://www.boone-crockett.org/arizona-state-big-game-records) and/or P&Y record books will reveal the incredible [trophy elk hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/elk/) that is found in this amazing state. We can help you with the [application process](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-application-service/). ## The Best Elk Units in Arizona Trophy quality on ALL [Arizona elk units](https://outdoors-international.com/elk-hunting-in-arizona/) is VERY good, however many bulls will have broken antlers during the late season. Hunters can expect to see 370 class bulls in the premier units and 340-350 bulls on the “lesser” quality units. Bulls above 400 inches are taken in [Arizona](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/united-states/arizona/) every year. ### [Premier Arizona Elk Units](https://outdoors-international.com/top-rated-elk-hunts/) **7 West, 8, 9, 10, 23, 3A/3C** - These are absolutely the best elk units in Arizona, but they are difficult to draw. - High densities of elk, and excellent trophy quality. - Expect to see bulls in the 370″ range with potential for 380+ inches. Our outfitters have access to tens of thousands of acres of private land in Premier Arizona Unit 10. - It can take up to a 15 year wait to draw. Use our [Hunt Application Service](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-application-service/) to make it hassle free. ### Mid-Quality Arizona Elk Units **[5B North](https://outdoors-international.com/arizona-unit-5b-north/), 5B South, 7 East, 6A, 6B** - Even though these aren’t considered the best elk units in Arizona, they’re still incredible with good densities of elk. - These units are a bit easier to draw and you can expect 340-350″ bulls. - You should draw these hunts within 1 to 5 years. - Our [elk hunts in New Mexico](https://outdoors-international.com/new-mexico-trophy-elk-hunts/) are a good alternative to these units if you don’t want to mess with drawing a tag. ### Good Elk Units in Arizona **15A, 15B, 18A, 17A, 17B, 18B, 19B, 20A, 20C** - These units are MUCH easier to draw. - The elk density is much lower than the best elk units in Arizona, but they have good trophy quality once you finally find them. - Potential for 370 inch bulls in these units. - You should draw these hunts within 1 to 5 years. - Our [elk hunt in Wyoming](https://outdoors-international.com/wyoming-elk-hunting/) is a good alternative. ## Did you draw an elk tag in Arizona? You lucky dog…. ### When you [finally draw that tag](https://outdoors-international.com/russ-meyer-arizona-archery-elk/), whether it’s in one of the best elk units in Arizona or not, you really should consider hiring an outfitter. They will spend countless days scouting, so you can take advantage of that tag and take the trophy elk of a lifetime. **[Contact us….

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Arizona](https://outdoors-international.com/top-rated-elk-hunts/) **Published:** June 30, 2019 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Where is the best elk hunting in Arizona? ...what every hunter who is interested in elk hunting in Arizona wants to know. Here are the Top 5 Units. **Content:** Every elk hunter worth his salt dreams of drawing an elk tag in Arizona. This is for good reason, because [elk hunting in Arizona](https://outdoors-international.com/elk-hunting-in-arizona/) is simply incredible. No where in the United States can you harvest free ranging elk matching the caliber of Arizona bulls. The hardest part of Arizona [elk hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/elk/) is beating the draw system and finding areas that consistently produce trophy bulls. In this post we’ll talk about the top 5 elk units in Arizona. [**Contact us**](https://outdoors-international.com/contact-us/) to start planning today. ## Why Arizona elk hunting is so great: - Great genetics…like REALLY great. - All hunts are draw only, and every unit is managed for trophy elk. - Boone and Crockett bulls are taken yearly in Arizona. - If you draw, outfitted hunts are surprisingly affordable in Arizona when compared to other places that have guaranteed tags. [Contact us or pricing.](https://outdoors-international.com/contact-us/) - Most units are fairly easy to hunt physically, especially when compared to some of the Northwestern states. - Did we mention big bulls? ## The Top 5 Elk Units in Arizona ### Our Picks for the Five Best Elk Hunting Units in Arizona No where in the United States can you hunt elk matching the caliber of Arizona bulls. The hardest part of Arizona elk hunting is beating the draw system and finding areas that consistently produce trophy bulls.Where is the best elk hunting in Arizona? …what every hunter who is interested in [elk hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/elk/) in Arizona wants to know. ### Drawing an elk tag in Arizona can be difficult. If you are a non-resident and want to draw a rut season tag for one of the premium elk units, you are in for a long wait unless you have 10 plus bonus points. If you are a resident you might be able to draw on of these tags the very first time. **[Apply](https://www.azgfd.com/)!** There are several Arizona elk hunts that offer hunters the chance to hunt good bulls and offer great draw odds for non residents. Would you like to hunt 320 to 340 class bulls nearly every year? If so, [contact us](https://outdoors-international.com/contact-us/) right away and we will get you set up to apply for these easier to draw Arizona elk units. ### Did you draw an Arizona elk tag?! When you finally draw that Golden Ticket, [contact us](https://outdoors-international.com/contact-us/) and hire an outfitter! They will spend countless days scouting for your trophy bull. [ Ask About Our OI Hunt Application Service ](/hunt-application-service/) [ Find an Outfitter ](#more-information) ![Arizona Unit 10 bull elk](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Arizona-Unit-10-bull-elk-1024x768.jpg "» Outdoors International")Unit 10 produces GIANT bulls every year. Especially on good moisture years, easily putting it #1 on the list of top 5 elk units in Arizona, if not the world.## Arizona Unit 10 ### Unit 10 is our #1 pick for the best unit for elk hunting in Arizona. With incredible genetics, it produces 400 class bulls every year, even on the drought years. Besides the genetics, Unit 10 is very easy to hunt. The terrain is well suited for glassing. Even on bad rut years, when the elk aren’t bugling, you can always glass up a bull in Unit 10. This unit also offers one of the best late hunts in Arizona. [ Ask About Our OI Hunt Application Service ](/hunt-application-service/) [ Find an Outfitter ](#more-information) ## Arizona Unit 9 ### Unit 9 is our second choice unit for elk hunting in Arizona only because it is harder to hunt. The genetics are just as good or even better than in Unit 10. Much of Unit 9 is thick and flat which makes glassing impossible (the late hunt is very tough). On a good rut year you should have some incredible hunting in Unit 9. **If the elk aren’t vocal… you will be disappointed.** [ Ask About Our OI Hunt Application Service ](/hunt-application-service/) [ Find an Outfitter ](#more-information) ## Arizona Unit 23 ### You can’t go wrong with Unit 23. While Unit 23 may not always produce giant bulls in the numbers that Unit 9 and 10 do, **hunters can’t go wrong by applying for an elk tag in unit 23**. With great genetics it usually has great rutting activity which makes for a very fun and enjoyable hunt. The late season hunt in Unit 23 is also one of the best late elk hunts in Arizona. [ Ask About Our OI Hunt Application Service ](/hunt-application-service/) [ Find an Outfitter ](#more-information) ![Arizona Unit 8 elk](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Arizona-Unit-8-elk.jpg "» Outdoors International")Unit 8 is a great late season choice.## Arizona Unit 8 ### Unit 8 boasts the current P&Y non-typical elk at a whopping 444″ P&Y net! Add to that, the SCI world record non-typical archery elk, scoring a CRAZY 460″+ SCI also came from unit 8. Our Arizona elk hunting outfitter has had clients take bulls in this unit that scored 424″ B&C and 435″ B&C!!!… so why isn’t unit 8 our number one pick for [elk hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/elk/) in Arizona you ask? Well, it can be tough. It’s a popular recreation area and there is a lot of pressure from campers, hikers, off-road vehicles, etc. **This is a good choice for a late season hunt.** [ Ask About Our OI Hunt Application Service ](/hunt-application-service/) [ Find an Outfitter ](#more-information) ## Arizona Unit 7 West ### Arizona Unit 7 West is number 5 on our list, but you can’t go wrong here. **Good genetics, high elk numbers, and glassable terrain** make it a great choice. Unit 7 West held the 400″ Pope and Young world record typical bull for many years. This unit can be amazing, and once you draw a tag, [**let us know so we can help**](https://outdoors-international.com/contact-us/).

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/shiras-moose-hunts/) **Published:** June 1, 2022 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** The Shiras moose subspecies has the smallest body and antlers of any North American moose. The Shiras moose is found in British Columbia, Alberta, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Utah. **Content:** Also known by som as the Wyoming moose, Shiras moose *(Alces alces shirasi)* has the smallest body of any [North American moose](/moose-hunting-facts/). They are found in [British Columbia](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-moose-hunt/), [Alberta](https://outdoors-international.com/alberta-farmland-moose-hunt/), [Washington](https://outdoors-international.com/moose-hunting-washington-state/), Idaho, [Montana](https://outdoors-international.com/montana-moose-hunting/), Wyoming and [Utah](https://outdoors-international.com/utah-moose-hunting/). Typically, [drawing a tag](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-application-service/) is the tough part, but there are a number of ways to [skip the draw](https://outdoors-international.com/oi-draw-program/). We can help you get [Conservation Tags](https://outdoors-international.com/utah-conservation-tag-program/), [Landowner Tag or Hunting Vouchers](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/landowner-tags/), and our British Columbia hunt is one of the only over-the-counter Shiras moose hunts available. Bulls range in size from 36” to 55” and often tip the scales at 1,200 lbs. Their diet consists of alder branches, grass and shrubs, and along with [mountain goats](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/goats/mountain-goat/), are the only animals that do not move to wintering grounds during the winter. Shiras moose are often referred to *“the moose of the mountains”*, as they can be found high up in alpine slides. These moose do not seem to enjoy swamps and water as much as the other species do. ## Why you should consider booking one of our Shiras moose hunts: - If you need to complete your [North American 29](https://outdoors-international.com/super-slam-of-north-american-big-game/) you will need a Shiras moose. - If you drew a good tag and need to find a vetted outfitter to book your hunt with, [we can help](#more-information). - Outdoors International only works with excellent, reputable outfitters who will take your hunt seriously. - Do you need help obtaining a Landowner Tag or a Conservation Permit? We have landowner tags here in the Lower 48, and even a few over-the-counter tags for Shiras moose hunts in BC.

Oakley in 1952, near Green River Lake, Wyoming. The bull scores 205-4/8 points. Mounted and initially owned by J.L. Nevins and H.A. Yocum of Frontier Taxidermists, Oakley’s prized moose was later sold to the Jackson Hole Museum in Jackson, Wyoming. ## MOOSE HUNTS [ ![An amazing Alaska

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.

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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

International **Excerpt:** If you want to learn how to field judge a moose, here are a few quick tips... **Content:** If you’re going [moose hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/moose/) and want to learn how to field judge a moose, here are a few quick tips… ## How to Field Judge a Moose - From the side, the tips of the palms should nearly touch the hump on the bulls back. The brow tines should reach halfway down the bridge of the nose. - There should be palmation between the front brow tines, not just two or three long spikes. - From the front, look for at least 10 inches of open space between the bulls body, and the inner edges of the palm. Another way, is to use the ears. A mature bull has ears that measure roughly 30 inches from tip to tip. The ears themselves are 9 to 10 inches long each. If there’s an extra ear length of antler spread on either side, he’s pushing 50 inches. The widest spread measurement is only counted once. So, it’s not a huge factor in final score. - The length and width of the palms are super important. You can also use the ears to estimate the width of each palm. Palms should be at least as wide as the ears are long. - Be warned, body size can vary greatly, so be cautious, especially in areas that have a width minimum. ## MOOSE HUNTING Guides & outfitters ### We can help you choose a good, vetted outfitter with a proven track record of putting hunters on good bulls.

Hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/roosevelt-elk-hunting/) **Published:** June 27, 2022 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Roosevelt elk are tough to hunt because they often don’t bugle much and they live in rainforests, but our hunters have had great success on great bulls! **Content:** Roosevelt elk inhabit the rainforest located in northwestern North America, from [British Columbia](https://outdoors-international.com/roosevelt-elk-hunting-british-columbia/), into Washington, Oregon and Northern California. They also exist on [Alaska’s](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/united-states/alaska/) [Afognak Island](/product-tag/afognak-island/) and Raspberry Island, where bulls have been recorded weighing in excess of 1,300 pounds. ### The largest-­bodied elk subspecies in North America. Bulls can live into their teens and tip the scales to over 1,200 pounds, and mature bulls average almost 900 pounds on the hoof. They commonly run at least 200 pounds larger than a Rocky Mountain bull. Roosies, as the locals know them (pronounced like “rosey”, are darker-colored than their smaller-bodied and more abundant cousin, the Rocky Mountain elk. The antlers of mature Roosies are also darker, more massive and compact, than those of Rocky Mountain bulls. ### Roosevelt elk are named after President Theodore Roosevelt. President Roosevelt is believed to have established the [Olympic National Park](https://www.nps.gov/olym/) specifically for the preservation of the species. Thus the alternative name of the subspecies: Olympus Elk. ## Roosevelt Elk Hunting Since they live in such THICK rain forest habitat and don’t typically bugle much, hunting isn’t easy. Despite the difficulty of hunting them, our hunters have had great success on solid bulls! In 2009, our outfitter took the New World Record muzzleloader bull. Scoring 372″ SCI. - Roosevelt elk are the largest of the North America [subspecies of elk](https://outdoors-international.com/species-of-elk/) in terms of body size (although not antler size). - These animals are found in northern California and [Oregon](https://outdoors-international.com/roosevelt-elk-hunting-in-oregon/), but the best opportunities for Roosevelt elk hunting are perhaps found in [Washington](https://outdoors-international.com/washington-roosevelt-elk-hunting/) and British Columbia. - You need a Roosie to qualify for your [North America 29](https://outdoors-international.com/super-slam-of-north-american-big-game/). - Over-­the-counter tags and a lot of public-land access exists in Roosevelt elk country. But just because a tag is easy to get, don’t be fooled into thinking it’s simple to fill. - Roosevelt [elk hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/elk/) is a different type of elk hunt. They prefer dense cover and don’t bugle as much as “normal” elk. Roosie bulls are notorious for coming in slow and silent to hunters who are calling them. - [Archery hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/archery-elk-hunting-tips/) have the best chance of encountering a Roosevelt bull, as the September season runs through the peak of the rut. - If you are looking to harvest a flat-out giant Roosevelt elk, we have the hunt for you! - On most hunts, a Columbia blacktail deer can be added on a trophy fee basis.

Skull](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-measure-a-bear-skull/) **Published:** January 28, 2026 **Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** Most hunters are more interested in [how to square a bear hide](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-square-a-bear-hide/) than it’s official score and how to measure a bear skull. However, the record keeping organizations don’t care how much it squares. ## How to Measure a Bear Skull ### Boone and Crockett judges measure the length plus the width of a cleaned and dried bear’s skull (regardless of species) and add the two measurements. ![World Record brown bear skull](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/World-Record-Brown-Bear.jpg "World-Record-Brown-Bear skull » Outdoors International") 1. Using calipers the greatest length is measured from the [base, or back of the skull](https://outdoors-international.com/brown-bear-subspecies/) to tip of nose, minus the lower jaw. 2. The greatest width is measured from cheek-to-cheek. 3. The two measurements are then added together to get the score. 4. It is posted in inches and 16ths of an inch and not simplified- example: 29 12/16″ instead of 29 3/4″. 5. The score is taken only after 60 days has elapsed [after the kill](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/grizzly/). Any prior measurement is considered “green”- or unofficial. ### Minimum Scores for Boone and Crockett: - **[Black Bear](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/) –** 20″ (Awards) | 21″ (All-Time) - **[Brown Bear](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/) –** 26″ (Awards) | 28″ (All-Time) - **[Grizzly Bear](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/) –** 23″ (Awards) | 24″ (All-Time) - **[Polar Bear](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/polar-bear/) –** 27″ (Awards) | 27″ (All-Time) To be an official score, your bear must be measured by an official Boone and Crockett Club measurer. See the [Boone and Crockett Scoring Tool](https://www.boone-crockett.org/scoring&type=Bear).

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Slams Records and Scoring Tips --- ### [Mastering Long-Range Shooting: A Guide for Success](https://outdoors-international.com/long-range-shooting-for-central-asian-hunts/) **Published:** December 10, 2024 **Author:** Max DeMarco **Content:** I recently embarked on a [mid-Asian Ibex hunt in Kyrgyzstan](https://outdoors-international.com/kyrgyzstan-ibex-hunt/) with Kyle Hanson from Outdoors International. As a passionate mountain hunter and experienced precision rifle competitor, hunting in Central Asia’s rugged terrain was a perfect challenge. Over the course of the hunt, we successfully harvested four Ibex at distances ranging from 450 to 750 yards. Our guides, impressed by our accuracy, remarked that shooting proficiency is often the biggest limitation for hunters in these conditions. After many conversations about optimal rifle setups and training for such hunts, Kyle and I decided to compile a guide for preparing shooters to excel in these demanding scenarios. Here’s what you need to know. ![Kyrgyzstan is steep](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Horses-in-Kyrgyzstan-while-hunting-ibex-1020x1275.jpg "Horses in Kyrgyzstan while hunting ibex » Outdoors International") ## What to Expect [Hunting Ibex](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/ibex/) and [Marco Polo Argali](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/argali/) in Kyrgyzstan is a thrilling challenge, as these animals are incredibly wary and inhabit some of the most rugged, open terrain imaginable. These species thrive in steep, rocky country where their agility and sharp senses give them an edge over predators—and hunters. The **game density** in [Kyrgyzstan is truly remarkable](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/asia/kyrgyzstan/). On our hunt, it wasn’t uncommon to see multiple herds of 50 to 100 Ibex in a single day. However, the abundance of animals also presents a unique challenge: with so many eyes on alert, getting within shooting distance requires careful planning, patience, and stealth. Most stalks involved [riding horses up the backside of a ridge](https://outdoors-international.com/struck-by-lighting-in-kazakhstan/) opposite the side of the canyon the animals were on. As a result, **nearly all shooting scenarios are cross-canyon shots** at varying angles. Based on conversations with guides and other hunters, **90% of shots on these hunts are taken at distances between 400 and 700 yards.** Adding to the difficulty, the terrain rarely allows for flat prone shooting due to its steep and rocky nature. For example: - [I shot my Ibex at **505 yards**](https://outdoors-international.com/max-demarco-kyrgyzstan-mid-asian-ibex-hunt-report/) from a kneeling position, with my rifle rested on a shooting bag perched atop a rocky point. - Another hunter in our group [harvested his Ibex](https://outdoors-international.com/marco-polo-hunting-tajikistan/) at **740 yards**, firing uphill at a 19-degree angle in an avalanche chute. These examples highlight the importance of [**being prepared for long-range shots**](https://outdoors-international.com/long-range-shooting-course-fundamentals/) in **windy conditions** and from a**wkward shooting positions**. If you’re heading to [Kyrgyzstan](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/asia/kyrgyzstan/), or anywhere in [mid-Asia](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/asia/) for that matter, practice shooting from uneven surfaces and unusual angles to build the confidence and skills you’ll need for success in this extraordinary hunting environment. By anticipating these challenges and training accordingly, you’ll be better equipped to take advantage of the incredible opportunities this hunt has to offer. [![Snowy Mountain Rifles](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Snow-Mountain-Rifles-Banner-Ad.jpg)](https://outdoors-international.com/long-range-shooting-course-fundamentals/) ## Equipment Selection ### Rifle Setup When preparing for a mid-Asia hunt, having the right rifle setup is crucial for success in the demanding terrain and challenging shooting conditions. Below are the key considerations for configuring your rifle: - **Rifle:** Choose a precision rifle in a lightweight stock or chassis capable of shooting sub-MOA groups. Equipping your rifle with an arca rail is highly recommended for secure tripod shooting, as flat, stable positions are rare in this rugged environment. Additionally, ensure your rifle has a sling, as you’ll likely be carrying it on horseback. - **Muzzle Device:** A muzzle brake or suppressor is essential for managing recoil, allowing for quicker follow-up shots and better accuracy in less-than-ideal positions. If possible, bring a suppressor, as it can make a critical difference in getting a follow-up shot after a miss. However, check with your guides ahead of time to ensure this is permitted. - **Rifle Scope:** Opt for a first focal plane scope with an exposed elevation turret and a reticle that supports wind holds. Both MOA and MIL systems work, so select whichever you’re most comfortable using. If using a burned yardage turret, make sure your ballistic solver provides elevation adjustments in yards or that the turret includes MOA/MIL marks alongside the yardage. For dependable performance in harsh conditions, consider scopes from reputable manufacturers such as: - - **Nightforce** - - **Leupold** - - **Zero Compromise** - - **Tangent Theta** - - **Kahles** - **Rings and Mounting:** Secure your scope with a high-quality set of rings or a durable mount to ensure your setup maintains zero despite the rigors of [mountain hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/mountain-hunts/). My personal recommendation is the American Rifle Company M10 scope rings, which offer exceptional reliability for hunting rifles. - **Bubble Level:** A bubble level is a critical yet often overlooked accessory. It ensures your rifle stays level when shooting on uneven terrain, preventing shot placement errors caused by canting. I recommend the bubble levels from Flatline Ops for their durability and precision. ![The right cartridge for hunting Marco Polo.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Kyle-Hansons-Kyrgyzstan-Marco-Polo-Cartridge.jpeg "Kyle Hansons Kyrgyzstan Marco Polo Cartridge » Outdoors International") ### Cartridge Selection When selecting a cartridge for Central Asian hunts, **wind drift** and **recoil management** are paramount. Long shots across windy canyons necessitate efficient, high-BC bullets, while the ability to manage recoil is crucial for follow-up shots and consistent performance in rugged terrain. For this hunt, our group of five carried: - **Three 6.5 PRCs** - **One .300 PRC** - **One .300 Weatherby Magnum** After the hunt, the consensus was clear: the **6.5 PRC** was the best overall cartridge for both [Marco Polo sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/marco-polo-sheep-facts/) and mid-Asian Ibex. Its combination of low recoil, high ballistic efficiency, and on-target lethality made it the standout performer. Even the hunter carrying the .300 Weatherby Magnum opted to use my 6.5 PRC for his Ibex. If you prefer a larger projectile, a **mid-sized 7mm cartridge** is another excellent option, offering a balance of manageable recoil and exceptional ballistics. **Recommendation:** Choose a cartridge capable of firing a 140-grain (or heavier) bullet with a G7 BC of 0.3 or higher at a velocity of 2800 fps or more. ### Ballistic Solvers The extreme elevation changes, steep angles, and variable temperatures of Central Asia render traditional ballistic turrets or DOPE cards unreliable. For this reason, I believe a **high-quality rangefinding binocular with an advanced ballistic solver** is a must-have. You can pull data from a Kestrel, DOPE cards, or a ballistic app but it will not be nearly as fast or accurate. On this hunt, I used the **Sig Kilo 10K Gen 2**, which performed flawlessly. Other top-tier options include: - **Vectronix Vector X** - **Leica Geovid Pro AB** - **Swarovski EL Range** These tools not only provide accurate distance measurements but also account for environmental factors, ensuring precise shot placement in challenging conditions. ![Long Range rifle on a bipod](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Long-Range-Rifle-on-a-bipod-1020x1360.jpg "Long Range Rifle on a bipod » Outdoors International") ### Support Gear Flat, stable shooting positions are rare in Kyrgyzstan. Be prepared to shoot from awkward, uneven surfaces at steep angles. Here’s the support equipment I recommend: - **Lightweight Shooting Bag:** The **Pint-Sized Game Changer with Spexlite** is compact and versatile. Lightweight shooting bags are a versatile tool for building shooting positions in rocky terrain. They can also double as a glassing pad and pillow. - **Tall Bipod:** A bipod with a maximum height of at least 15 inches is essential. I used the **MDT Double-Pull CkyePod**. Having a tall bipod will afford you more chances to shoot prone in steep terrain. - **Stable Tripod:** A tripod that you can clip your rifle into, preferably with a ball head, is invaluable. My go-to tripod is **RRS 24L tripod with an Anvil-30 ball head**. With this tripod, I can achieve prone-like stability from almost any shooting positions. ![Practicing long range shooting in preparation for a mid-Asian hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Long-Range-Shooting-Training-Kyle-Hanson-1020x1275.jpg "Long Range Shooting Training Kyle Hanson » Outdoors International") ## Training for Kyrgyzstan Hunts Success on a hunt like this requires preparation that goes beyond traditional range shooting. Focus on replicating real-world scenarios to build confidence and skill in the field. 1. **Practice Shooting from Non-Traditional Positions** Once your rifle is zeroed and your data is confirmed, move away from prone or bench shooting. Spend your time shooting from awkward positions that mimic rocky terrain. Use props, natural obstacles, or your tripod to simulate hunting conditions. 2. **Develop Efficient Shooting Processes** The ability to rapidly find your target, calculate ballistic data, and build a stable position is critical. One effective training method that you can do on a standard rifle range is as follows: - **Set a 30-second timer.** - Have a friend randomly select a target and specify the shooting position (e.g., tripod, kneeling, rock). - Within the time limit, find the target, calculate firing solution, build your position, and fire. This drill builds the muscle memory and decision-making skills you’ll need in the field. 3. **Take a Long-Range Shooting Course** If you’re new to the science of long-range shooting, [taking a specialized course](https://outdoors-international.com/long-range-shooting-course-fundamentals/) can be immensely beneficial. These courses cover the fundamentals of **rifle setup, external ballistics, and positional shooting**, all of which are essential skills for success on a hunt in challenging terrain. Long-range shooting courses are widely available across the country, so finding one nearby should be relatively easy. For hunters, some of the most reputable schools include: - **Gunwerks Long Range University** - **Best of the West [Long Range Hunting Academy](https://outdoors-international.com/spanish-ibex-hunt/)** - **Modern Day Sniper Precision Rifle Class** Investing in a course not only builds your technical knowledge but also provides hands-on experience that will prepare you for real-world scenarios. Whether you’re fine-tuning your skills or starting from scratch, these courses are an excellent way to become a more confident and capable shooter. 4. **Compete in Precision Rifle Matches** Participating in a PRS (Precision Rifle Series) or NRL (National Rifle League) match is one of the best ways to hone your skills. These competitions force you to find targets, build positions, and shoot under time constraints. For hunters, **NRL Hunter matches** are especially beneficial, as they replicate real-world scenarios with multiple targets and shooting positions. In an NRL Hunter match: - You’ll navigate 20 stages. - Each stage gives you four minutes to locate 1–4 targets, build positions, and fire a minimum of four shots. - These challenges provide invaluable experience in quick decision-making and precise shooting. ![Max DeMarco with a giant ibex he hunted in Kyrgyzstan](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Max-DeMarco-client-Kyrgyzstan-Mid-Asian-Ibex-Hunt-3-1020x1360.jpg "Max DeMarco client Kyrgyzstan Mid Asian Ibex Hunt 3 » Outdoors International") ## Conclusion Hunting in Central Asia offers some of the most rewarding and challenging experiences a mountain hunter can face. With the right equipment and proper training, you can overcome the region’s notorious shooting difficulties and make the most of this adventure. Whether it’s choosing the right rifle platform for optimal performance, investing in reliable gear, or refining your skills through matches or shooting courses, preparation is key to success. The mountains of Central Asia demand respect—but with the right mindset and tools, they’ll reward you with the hunt of a lifetime. ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Whether you’re stalking the misty highlands of Scotland, the vast plains of [La Pampa in Argentina](https://outdoors-international.com/argentina/), the breathtaking hills of [New Zealand](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-red-stag-new-zealand/), or exclusive estates in North America, the red stag hunt is a bucket-list experience that blends challenge, tradition, and trophy-worthy rewards. Ready to answer the call? Here’s your guide to the red stag roar across four continents—and how to book your dream hunt today. ## North America: Monster Stags in Your Backyard ### In North America, red stag hunting offers a taste of the exotic without the long haul. We work with many hunting estates in the United States and Canada alike, that rival any hunt you could book in New Zealand. Mid-September to mid-October, the roar peaks—antlers clash, and the air hums with tension. These managed properties deliver top-tier trophies, often scoring over 400 SCI, with spot-and-stalk hunts that test your skill. Want a stateside adventure with five-star lodging and record-book potential? North America’s calling—[**drop us your details**](#more-information) to lock in your spot!

From August to October, the roar shakes ancient forests as stags vie for dominance. Both [Hungary](https://outdoors-international.com/red-stag-hunting-in-hungary/) and [Scotland](https://outdoors-international.com/stag-hunting-scotland/) offer [free-range stag hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/scott-tawzer-argentina-free-range-red-stag-hunt-report/) steeped in tradition, while Eastern Europe delivers affordable stalks with stunning antlered royals.

Late March to early April, the Southern Hemisphere’s rut unleashes a symphony of roars across sprawling plains of [La Pampa, Argentina](https://outdoors-international.com/argentina-red-stag-hunting/). These wild stags, introduced nearly a century ago, grow massive—think 350+ inches of antler—on 37,000-acre ranches with no trophy fees. Add [dove shooting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-for-doves/) or a [Buenos Aires steakhouse detour](https://outdoors-international.com/cory-glauner-argentina-free-range-stag-hunt-report/), and it’s a hunter’s dream combo.

From late March to April, the red stag roar erupts across private estates and free-range hills, a lion-like call that’ll raise the hair on your neck. Whether you’re after a fair-chase 300-inch stag or a fenced monster, the scenery’s unreal and the trophies unmatched. Pair it with tahr or chamois for the ultimate Kiwi adventure.

The rut’s when stags drop their guard—roaring, fighting, chasing hinds—making it prime time for hunters. It’s not just about the trophy; the red stag roar is about the rush of calling in a bellowing giant, the stalk through jaw-dropping terrain, and the stories you’ll tell for years. Each continent offers a unique spin—North America’s accessibility, Europe’s heritage, South America’s value, New Zealand’s scale.

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.

Tricks](https://outdoors-international.com/bear-baiting-tip/) **Published:** January 4, 2026 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Successful bear baiting is a bit of an art form. Through the school of hard knocks, we've learned a few things and here are our bear baiting tips. **Content:** Through the school of hard knocks of [black bear hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/), we’ve learned a few things and here are our bear baiting tips and tricks. - First you need to know [where to find black bears in the Spring](https://outdoors-international.com/where-to-find-black-bears-in-the-spring/). - Some people think that your bear bait should be on a ridge, but we like to put them in the bottoms. The wind is more reliable. The goal here is to fill the canyon with the smell of your bear bait. - Place your bear bait as far away from roads and trails as possible. Try to be the only one [hunting the bears](https://outdoors-international.com/brown-bear-hunting-in-croatia/) in your area. This should up your odds of a [trophy boar visiting your bait site](https://outdoors-international.com/cory-arrows-an-ancient-idaho-bruin/). We sometimes use horses to pack in bear bait. - If you use a barrel, keep in mind that a good bear baiting barrel should hold bait for up to 2-3 weeks. - Bears prefer sweet bait as opposed to meat scraps. Another advantage of sweet products such as breads, doughnuts, and dog food mixed with syrup is that they will only attract bears, not wolves and coyotes. - Pour A LOT of grease on the ground all around your bear bait. When bears come and go from the bait, they will step in the grease and leave scent trails for other bears to cross and follow right back into your bait. Let the bears do the work for you. - Don’t check your bait for at least a week after you have it set. Eventually a [big dominant bear](https://outdoors-international.com/one-done-big-archery-black-bear/) will claim and begin checking it throughout the daylight hours. This is hard to do, especially if you use trail cameras. - Set your tree stand or ground blind downwind of access points to your bait. - Attractants can be very effective. Early season add some sort of sweetener to your [bear bait](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-hunting/). Later in the season (late May through June), use Sow in Heat Scent. - When you do finally sit your bait, try to sit all day (hard to do) and definitely sit until very last shooting light. - If you don’t want to do it yourself, here’s [what to consider for booking a baited black bear hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/booking-a-baited-bear-hunt/). We offer some great [baited black bear hunts in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-hunting/), [Alberta](https://outdoors-international.com/alberta-black-bear-hunt/), [Idaho](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-bear-hunts/) and [Saskatchewan](https://outdoors-international.com/saskatchewan-bear-hunts/). ### The two schools of thought on scent control. 1. **Most hunters do everything they can to eliminate their scent.** Wear rubber boots![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=e13d19e19ca5eae9dfe5e8446a7aba64&_cb=1552066317668) and use rubber gloves![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=89ed7f5e9a4b2c896c159d4696e77971&_cb=1552066327345) when touching your bait barrel and or trail cameras. Russ Meyer falls into this category. Here’s [how he hunts bears](https://outdoors-international.com/russ-meyer-bear-hunting-tips/). 2. **[Other hunters don’t worry](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/) about their scent at all.** In fact, hang dirty clothes around your bait so that the bears get used to smelling humans.

Bears](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-grizzly-bears/) **Published:** May 19, 2022 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Bears are notoriously difficult to judge in the field, and can sometimes be the hardest part of grizzly hunting. From black bears to brown bears, they're all hard unless they're huge. **Content:** Field judging grizzly bears is notoriously difficult, and can sometimes be the hardest part of the hunt. From [black bears](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-black-bears/) to [brown bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/), they’re all hard unless they’re huge. There is no mistaking a huge bear! Sometimes the decision to shoot is an obvious one, and that’s the goal on any [grizzly bear hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/). But most often, you’re just looking for a good mature male. ![Field judging grizzly bears is notoriously difficult, and can sometimes be the hardest part of the hunt. From black bears to brown bears, they’re all hard unless they’re huge.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Inland-Grizzly-Bear-AWCG2-1400x1050.jpg "Alaska Inland Grizzly-Bear-AWCG2 » Outdoors International")An absolute giant grizzly bear taken by an Outdoors International client.## Field Judging Grizzly Bears Grizzly [bears have to work harder than brown](https://outdoors-international.com/difference-between-brown-bear-grizzly/) bears do to make a living. Because of that, they don’t get as large as their coastal cousins. An average male grizzly weighs about six hundred to seven hundred and fifty pounds. But [occasionally a monster comes along](https://outdoors-international.com/new-world-record-grizzly-bear/) with weights of twelve hundred to fifteen hundred pounds and standing nine and a half feet tall. ### The first thing to determine is the gender of the grizzly bear you’re looking at. This can sometimes be difficult, but there are visible differences. - Sows have thin snouts with narrow heads, their shoulders aren’t as muscled, and they have thin legs with very skinny ankles. - A dead giveaway is seeing them pee…a sow will squat. - Some people say that a sow will be lighter colored, and the older a male gets, the darker it gets. The jury is still out on this idea. ### If a grizzly bears ears look small and are on the sides of his head, it’s probably a shooter. You’ve all heard about the big head with small, wide-set ears right? If you haven’t, that needs to be the first thing you look at. **If the ears look small and are on the sides of his head, it’s probably a shooter** (especially if he has battle scars on his face, or a big crease between the muscles on his forehead), but there are some more things to look at first in our opinion. - Boars will have big blocky heads, much like a [big male dog does](https://outdoors-international.com/yukon-grizzly-hunt/). - Their shoulders are massive, and [a big boar will have](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-grizzly-bear-hunt/) heavily muscled legs that carries all the way down to its paws. - A boar also moves differently…slower, more methodical. ### A big boar will have a huge neck that is sometimes thicker than the head. - Look for [big shoulders, and defined muscles](https://outdoors-international.com/barren-ground-grizzly-bear/) throughout the rest of his body. - A big, sagging belly is a good indicator, but not every big boar will have this. - A mature male will appear to be long and thick. - A mature boar will also have an attitude. He’ll walk like he is in no hurry and has a swagger to him like a cocky person does. ![If you can find a fresh track, measure the width of the front pad and add an inch to determine how many feet long the bear is.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Grizzly-Bear-Tracks-pexels-павел-гавриков-8716316-scaled-e1655040500724.jpg "Grizzly Bear Tracks pexels-павел-гавриков-8716316 » Outdoors International") ### Another good way of field judging grizzly bears is by the tracks. If you can find a fresh track, measure the width of the front pad and add an inch to determine how many feet long the bear is. This is a surprisingly effective method of [estimating what a bear will square](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-square-a-bear-hide/).

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Planning a DIY Hunt in Alaska with Kyle Hanson](https://outdoors-international.com/preparing-for-an-unguided-hunt/) **Published:** August 31, 2018 **Author:** Cory Glauner **Excerpt:** This podcast is absolutely loaded with information that will put your mind at ease as you prepare for your unguided moose hunting adventure. I think you'll enjoy it. **Content:** My good friend Brandon Couchman and I have been on many hunts together from [bears on the Olympic Peninsula](https://outdoors-international.com/180-grains-ouch/) to [South Africa](https://outdoors-international.com/take-back-south-africa/) and now we’re Planning a DIY Hunt in Alaska for moose [vet a new unguided moose hunting outfitter](https://outdoors-international.com/by-the-skin-of-my-teeth/). Unlike many [moose hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/moose/) transporters, this outfitter does not offer the “outfitted camp”, so hunters have to prepare to take everything with them from tents to food to fuel… everything. Brandon and I were especially concerned about the airlines and keeping costs under control. Getting gear to Alaska and back with a pile of meat and huge sets of antlers is daunting. After consulting with Russ Meyer who is a wealth of knowledge on these hunts, he suggested that I also reach out to [Kyle Hanson](https://outdoors-international.com/about-us/kyle-hanson/). Kyle went with his Dad on [this hunt in 2016](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-kyle-hanson-diy-moose/), and is [going again this season](https://outdoors-international.com/unguided-moose-ridge-hunt-report/). He is admittedly *“a bit OCD”* (but in a good way), and his preparation is amazing. Everything from [his gear list](https://outdoors-international.com/unguided-moose-hunt-gear-list/) to his travel plans is well thought out and methodical. After talking for over an hour I asked if he’d be willing to do a podcast with me. Almost everybody has these same questions, and a podcast would be a great learning tool. Luckily he agreed. ## Planning a DIY Hunt in Alaska ### Hunting in Alaska can be stressful, but here’s a good podcast with OI Consultant Kyle Hanson to help you get through it. ![Kyle Hanson Alaska Unguided Moose](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Kyle-Hanson-49-1-1024x768.jpg "Kyle Hanson Alaska Unguided Moose » Outdoors International") ## What you need to know about planning a DIY hunt in Alaska: - Here is [Kyle’s gear list](https://outdoors-international.com/unguided-moose-hunt-gear-list/). - Take Alaska Airlines all the way through. Don’t switch airlines. [Read up on their policies.](https://www.alaskaair.com/content/travel-info/baggage/overview?lid=nav:info-baggage) - Make sure that you allow yourself extra time in case you run into issues with weather. - As you’re landing, be sure to take pictures and/or video of the surrounding area to reference during your hunt. An aerial perspective can tell you a lot. - Take a [Garmin InReach](https://outdoors-international.com/garmin-inreach-mini/) and TEST IT BEFORE YOU LEAVE! - [Do a hunt report](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/hunt-reports/) here on our blog after you return so that you can relive your hunt later and be detailed so that you can reference it the next time you go on a similar hunt. - A dead moose will float until you open him up. - [Moose hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/moose/) is more like whitetail than elk hunting, even though you are calling them. [Less is more when calling moose](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-call-moose/), and soft cow calls tend to work better. Call from same locations for long periods, bulls can take days to come into the calls. - [Calling, raking and hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/california-blacktail-hunting/) near camp is advisable, within half mile at most. - [Glass for cows in the morning](https://outdoors-international.com/oregon-blacktail-hunting/), move to their location later in the day to draw the bull out. - Call morning/evening. You can still [hunt during the day for bedded moose](https://outdoors-international.com/kettle-range-shiras-moose-report/). This one can be tricky, wind must be absolutely right if you are going to try to still hunt a bedding area. We didn’t try it but some guys did with great luck. - [Paddle around the lake](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-bucks-and-ducks-giveaway/) edge and get out periodically to check open areas and nearby lakes. - Call directly from camp 1/2 hour before dark and often there will be a bull bedded near camp in the morning. Don’t be aggressive and wait about five minutes between cow calls. This worked for Kyle and his Dad. - [Maintain a low-impact presence](https://outdoors-international.com/kent-goodman/). You don’t want to make it known you are there. - BE PATIENT and roll with the punches. Alaska likes to throw punches. A positive attitude and open mind is the most important tactic of all. - Set up an awning outside your tent to cook under. - The wind tends to blow from the North. - Consider taking a shotgun for [ptarmigan hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-upland-bird-hunting/) after you get your bull. - If you like to [fish](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing/alaska-fishing/), take a pack rod with you. You might just be in for a treat and [experience some amazing Alaska fishing](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing/alaska-fishing/). - Waders should definitely be part of your layering system. - Moose density is higher in swampy areas as it is harder for predators to get around in swamps. I mention this because [many people get dropped off in swamps](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-tyler-crocketts-moose-hunt/). Swamps aren’t pleasurable camping areas, but are you there to camp or hunt? - Bring a high tripod. It will sink about a foot into the tundra. You’ll probably be [spending a lot of time glassing](https://outdoors-international.com/cory-glauner-brown-bear/), so you want to have a comfortable setup. - [Merino Wool doesn’t stink](https://outdoors-international.com/cory-glauner-idaho-archery-muley/). - This podcast would pertain to either moose or a [caribou hunting in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-caribou-hunt-combo/). - Kyle brought some of his meat back in fish boxes sold for $10 per box from the airline as well as their skull/antlers that were packaged accordingly (we discuss this in the podcast). Then he donated the rest to the locals. He brought back roughly 150 lbs, and his father brought roughly 250. - Another option for meat is to have the outfitter arrange air cargo of the meat to a processor in Anchorage, as well as air cargo the skull/antlers and cape to a taxidermist. These are the most expensive options. Roughly $1,000 for a euro mount, $2,500 for a shoulder mount, $1,500-2,500 for meat all by the time it gets back home to you. - As for skull/antler transport, they had great luck bringing them back with us whole as checked luggage through Alaska Airlines. [Properly packaged skulls](https://www.alaskaair.com/content/travel-info/baggage/special-baggage/traveling-with-perishable-big-game) can be checked as extra luggage. Bring a roll of bubble wrap, a roll of packaging shrink wrap, packaging tape, and small pieces of cardboard with you for [your adventure in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-wilderness-adventures/). ## BOOK A HUNT ### Are you Planning a DIY Hunt in Alaska?

four subspecies of ibex that our found in Spain in one hunt. The Spanish Ibex Grand Slam is one of the most prestigious achievements in mountain hunting. [Spain](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/europe/spain/) is the **only country in the world** where hunters can pursue four distinct subspecies of Iberian Ibex (*Capra pyrenaica*) — all within one incredible trip. Each subspecies offers its own unique challenge, horn style, and stunning landscape. Completing the Grand Slam means harvesting one of each: **Gredos, Beceite, Southeastern (Sierra Nevada), and Ronda Ibex**. It’s a true bucket-list hunt that [tests skill, endurance, and planning](https://outdoors-international.com/marco-polo-hunting-tajikistan/). At Outdoors International, we specialize in making this dream a reality with experienced local guides, fair-chase mountain hunts, and world-class outfitting. ### The Four Subspecies of Spanish Ibex – A Complete Breakdown Here’s everything you need to know about each subspecies, including their physical characteristics, horn traits, and the specific regions where they are hunted. ![Gredos Ibex hunting in Spain](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Gredos-ibex-hunting-in-Spain-9.jpg "Gredos-ibex-Spain » Outdoors International") #### Gredos Ibex (*Capra pyrenaica victoriae*) **The King of Spanish Ibex** — the largest and most iconic subspecies. - **Size**: Largest body mass of the four; mature males often exceed 200–250 lbs. - **Horn Characteristics**: Classic lyre-shaped horns with a pronounced backward curve and spiral. Tips typically point upward. Horns are thick at the base with impressive length and mass. - **Appearance**: Darker coat, powerful build. - **Where They Are Hunted**: Central Spain — primarily the Sierra de Gredos and Sierra de Guadarrama mountains (near Madrid), as well as select reserves in the Central System. - **Hunting Experience**: Rugged granite peaks and high alpine terrain. Known for excellent glassing opportunities and challenging stalks. ![Mat with a Beceite ibex.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/mat-beciete-ibex.jpg "mat-beciete-ibex GHA » Outdoors International") #### Beceite Ibex (*Capra pyrenaica hispanica*) **The Wide & Powerful** — famous for its dramatic horn spread. - **Size**: Very large, often rivaling or exceeding Gredos in overall trophy quality. - **Horn Characteristics**: Wide, sweeping, and heavily ringed horns that flare outward in a “palm-tree” or airplane-wing shape. Straighter than Gredos with a wide arc and impressive mass. - **Appearance**: Dark coat, robust build. - **Where They Are Hunted**: Northeastern Spain — the Beceite Mountains (Maestrazgo region) spanning Teruel, Tarragona, and Castellón provinces. - **Hunting Experience**: Beautiful rocky cliffs and Mediterranean-style mountains. High population density in many areas makes for exciting stalks. ![Southeastern Spanish Ibex](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Southeastern-Ibex-Spain-GZI1-500x354.jpg "Southeastern Spanish Ibex » Outdoors International") #### Southeastern Spanish Ibex (Sierra Nevada Ibex) (*Capra pyrenaica hispanica*) **The Flared & Elegant** — often called Sierra Nevada Ibex. - **Size**: Medium — smaller and lighter in color than Gredos and Beceite, but larger and darker than Ronda. - **Horn Characteristics**: Beautifully flared horns with a strong backward curve. Horn shape varies by mountain range; Sierra Nevada animals often show the largest and most impressive horns in this group. Some develop a near-circular shape with tips turning toward the neck. - **Appearance**: Lighter coat, agile build suited to steep terrain. - **Where They Are Hunted**: Southeastern Spain — Sierra Nevada (Granada), plus the mountain ranges of Tejada, Almijara, Lujar, Cazorla, and Muela de Cortes. - **Hunting Experience**: Dramatic desert-like cliffs and high rocky peaks. A true test of mountain hunting ability. ![Ronda Spanish Ibex](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Ronda-Spanish-Ibex-GZI1-500x354.jpg "Ronda Spanish Ibex » Outdoors International") #### Ronda Ibex (*Capra pyrenaica hispanica*) **The Smallest & Most Elusive** — the ultimate challenge. - **Size**: Clearly the smallest of the four subspecies. - **Horn Characteristics**: Tight, compact, and heavily curled horns. Shorter and straighter than the others, but very distinctive. - **Appearance**: Compact body, excellent camouflage in rocky terrain. - **Where They Are Hunted**: Southern Spain — the isolated mountain ranges around Ronda in Málaga province (primarily Sierra de Grazalema and Sierra de las Nieves). - **Hunting Experience**: Extremely rugged, low-density areas. This is often considered the hardest of the four due to difficult access and wary animals. A true trophy for serious mountain hunters. ### Why Hunters Choose Outdoors International for the Spanish Ibex Grand Slam - Expert local guides who know every mountain range intimately - Flexible hunt packages (you can hunt all four in one 10–14 day trip) - Fair-chase mountain hunting — no high fences - Opportunity to experience Spain’s culture, food, and scenery between hunts - Full support with licenses, transfers, and trophy handling **Ready to complete your Spanish Ibex Grand Slam?** Contact us today to start planning your custom hunt.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Guide](https://outdoors-international.com/first-time-hunting-asia-preparation-guide/) **Published:** March 16, 2026 **Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** Asia offers some of the most iconic and challenging mountain hunting experiences on Earth — from the towering peaks of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan to the vast plateaus of Mongolia, the volcanic landscapes of Russia, and the rugged ranges of Pakistan. Whether you are dreaming of a **Marco Polo sheep**, a massive **Mid-Asian Ibex**, a golden **Argali**, or pursuing bears and moose, success starts long before you board the plane. Outdoors International has created this **complete podcast series** to guide you from first interest to final preparation. We’ve structured it into clear sections so you can jump to exactly what you need. Below you will find every episode plus our full **First-Time Hunter Asia Preparation Guide** with every essential tip you need to hunt smarter and more comfortably. ## 🎙️ The Podcast Series – Introduction to Hunting in Asia ### **More Podcasts Coming Soon…** - **Mongolia – Argali & Mountain Hunting** - **Russia – Kamchatka, Snow Sheep, Bears & Moose** - **Pakistan – Ibex, Urial & Himalayan Species** #### **Species Specific** - **Ibex Hunting in Asia** - **Marco Polo, Argali & Wild Sheep of Asia** - **Bears, Moose & Other Big Game** - **Additional Species – Urial, Tur, Tahr & Snow Sheep** #### **How to Prepare (Essential for First-Timers)** - **First-Time Hunter Asia Prep Guide – Gear, Packing & Logistics** - **Rifle, Shooting & Mountain Readiness** - **Travel, Visas, Culture & Booking Smart** #### **Shooting in Asia** - **Shooting & Training for Asia with Max DeMarco** - **Advanced Gear Deep Dive, Packing Lists & Final Prep** - **Listener Q&A + Series Recap** ## First-Time Hunter Asia Preparation Guide Asia is calling. Whether it’s the high passes of [Mongolia](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/asia/mongolia), the remote peaks of [Tajikistan](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/asia/tajikistan/), or [Russia’s volcanic wilderness](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/asia/russia/), hunting Asia demands respect—and preparation. First-timers often overlook the small details that separate a great hunt from a frustrating one. Here is everything you need to know, pulled directly from the experience of our Asian mountain hunting specialists. ### Footwear Strategy: The Two-Pair Rule At altitude, your feet determine your success. **Pack two complete boot systems**, but never in the same luggage. Equipment fails. Weather changes. Blisters appear. A backup pair in your daypack or duffel means you’re never sidelined when trophies are within range. Invest in boots with strong ankle support built for technical rock and scree. Break them in thoroughly before departure — broken-in boots at 13,000+ feet beat brand-new ones every time. ### Power & Charging: Plan for Minimal Infrastructure Outfitting camps across Central Asia and Russia have limited electricity. **Type C and F plug adapters** are mandatory. Bring several spares — they’re lightweight and critical. Solar chargers are highly recommended for open camps where high-altitude sunlight is abundant. Charge headlamps, rangefinders, spotting scopes, and GPS units strategically. Everything matters when glassing in low light at dawn and dusk. ### Rifle Preparation for Mountain Hunting Protect your rifle with a quality cover (SOLO HNTR or similar) that guards against temperature swings, moisture, and dust. A sturdy rifle sling is equally important — it distributes weight during long glassing sessions and steep hikes, and prevents loss during a slip. **The #1 difference-maker: angle compensation.** Most people practice on flat range. Asian hunts don’t exist on flat ground. You’ll execute shots at 30-, 45-, and 60-degree angles. Before you leave, [spend dedicated time at a range](https://outdoors-international.com/long-range-shooting-for-central-asian-hunts/) shooting uphill and downhill. Understand your ballistics at angles. A 300-yard shot downhill isn’t a 300-yard shot. Misunderstanding this costs trophies. [ ![Kyrgyzstan Ibex Hunt in Steep Country](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Kyrgyzstan-Ibex-Hunt-in-Steep-Country-ARQ-361x640.jpg "Kyrgyzstan Ibex Hunt in Steep Country ARQ » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/long-range-shooting-for-central-asian-hunts/) ##### [Mastering Long-Range Shooting: A Guide for Success](https://outdoors-international.com/long-range-shooting-for-central-asian-hunts/) I recently embarked on a mid-Asian Ibex hunt in Kyrgyzstan with Kyle Hanson from Outdoors International. As a passionate mountain hunter and experienced precision rifle competitor, hunting \[…\] [ Read the article ](https://outdoors-international.com/long-range-shooting-for-central-asian-hunts/) ### Currency That Works: Only Fresh Bills Bring **new, crisp $100 bills** exclusively for tips. Guides, porters, cooks, and horse handlers rely heavily on gratuities. [Tips comprise significant portions of their annual income](https://outdoors-international.com/tips-guide/). Worn or creased bills lose value locally. Request fresh bills from your bank before departure — a simple gesture that shows respect and often earns better service. ### Hygiene Realities: Preparation Over Assumptions Remote camps have highly variable bathroom facilities. Assume the worst and **pack plenty of wet wipes**. They solve multiple hygiene issues, weigh almost nothing, and prevent problems in rustic setups. Your guides will appreciate your preparedness. ### Documentation & Trophy Logistics Bring your own trophy tags, CITES certificates, and export paperwork. Do not assume the outfitter handles everything. Familiarize yourself with your home country’s import requirements early. Asian trophies are usually shipped in late spring or early summer after proper curing — organized paperwork prevents customs delays. ### Knife Gifts: Practical & Respected Pack a few high-quality knives as gifts. In mountain communities, a good blade is a highly valued tool. This small gesture carries significant cultural weight and often results in extra attention to your hunt. ### Communication Backup: Satellite Redundancy Base camps may have Starlink or cell service, but you will not hunt from base camp. Bring a **satellite communicator** (Garmin inReach or similar). It provides peace of mind for family contact and emergency access if weather or injury changes plans. ### Cultural Patience: Reframe Your Hunting Style Western hunters often bring urgency. Asian mountain hunting rewards stillness and patience. Your guide may glass one drainage for hours. Embrace the pace. Haste ruins the advantage. “Waiting” usually means the conditions are improving — stay alert. ### Pre-Booking Questions: Define Success Before You Go Ask every outfitter these key questions: - What is your realistic success rate by species? - How many actual hunting days vs. travel/acclimatization days? - What daily elevation gain should I expect? - What is the client-to-guide ratio? - Does the price include all-terrain access, caping, and export documentation? - Do you regularly take first-time Asia hunters? ### The Timing Advantage: Hunt Young Premium concessions book 12–18 months in advance. Permits are limited. You can train your body at any age, but you cannot regain youth and physical resilience. If Asia is on your list, [**book this year**](#more-information). ### Trophy Judgment: Do Your Homework Study your target species months ahead. Understand what constitutes a quality argali in High Altai versus Hangay regions. Know [Marco Polo sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/marco-polo-sheep-facts/) proportions. Research ibex subspecies. The moment you’re glassing a trophy through binoculars, decision-making is emotional. Homework transforms that emotion into confidence. You’ll make better choices and avoid second-guessing later. ## Ready to Book Your Asian Hunt? Success in Asia comes from deliberate preparation combined with the right outfitter and timing.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Be sure to do your homework so that you are properly prepared for you hunt. If you have questions about this unguided moose hunt gear list, be sure to [contact us](https://outdoors-international.com/contact-us/) or your outfitter. ## Based on what Kyle learned on his first hunt, he has revised his list to what you see below. ![#oitaggedout](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Kyle-Hanson-Client-Alaska-DIY-Moose-RAA-oitaggedout-500x493.jpg "Kyle-Hanson-Client Alaska DIY Moose RAA oitaggedout » Outdoors International") Here are the notes from his 2016 Alaska moose hunt. \[[See the gear list he used in 2016](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1UBjo_dbfPx_TSgQJ1XZt6mEjt1jaYmlLLlF0Nq6UBGk)\] #### Clothing *Everything I used from my unguided moose hunt gear list performed well and kept us warm and dry. My father used almost the identical setup without any issues either. If I had to do it over again I would go with First Lite rain gear as it would have matched my kit better for layering. By the end of the trip I tore a couple eyelets out of my wading boots from hiking in them. Maybe go with a better boot. If given the chance I would have also liked to bring a slip on rubber boot for around camp. I highly recommend the Sea to Summit lightweight bug net.* #### Pack *Worked out awesome! That being said I believe any Kifaru pack combined with a grab-it would work just fine. Next go around I will probably bring the new cargo panel for ease of loading. It’s tough loading those giant moose parts into a tube style bag. Also, a guy can get by just fine with a more affordable frame style pack such as a Cabelas guide frame model. I saw a little bit of everything up there, the guys that had the hardest time packing were either smaller guys or they just didn’t prepare for it… nothing to do with the pack.* #### Shelter *Those tents are tough and affordable; my only complaint is that they can be a little tight for a longer hunt. More annoying than anything. I would bring my own shelter next time. If you are bringing your own I wouldn’t recommend a floorless tent as most of these areas don’t have the solid ground for it. Also don’t bring too large of a tent because the flat spots that you can find usually are not much bigger than the 4 man Cabelas tent we were provided.* #### Sleep System *I0d went with more of a lightweight backpacking setup than I really needed to. My father used a much larger Big Agnes 0 degree square [camp bag](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-choose-the-best-sleeping-bag-for-camping-backpacking/) with the big thick air paid that slides into it. You are on cots for ten plus days; make the best of it since you won’t be carrying camp with you!* #### Optics *I feel that a decent 10×40 or 8×40 is adequate. I didn’t bring a spotter but at times it would have been nice. Personal preference. I will be bringing a spotting scope next time.* #### Cook System *no issues* #### Food *We had the outfitter supply the food. It was just fine however some of the stuff was a little more elaborate than what I wanted to take the time to prepare. I would bring my own food next time consisting of things that are fast to prepare combined with some fresh items purchased in bethel. Starbucks instant coffee packs are awesome!* #### Water purification and storage *The Nalgene bottles were our go to. I kept a bladder in the tent next to my cot just to have handy for later at night. The outfitter supplied 5 gal collapsible water containers that were awesome to have on hand. The pump “clogged” right away. Come to find out I just needed to lube the seal. I’m not that versed in water purification, especially when it’s out of a stagnant lake so lesson learned there. We ended up just using the aquamira for the 5 gallon containers and then steripened what we poured into our water bottles just to be safe. Everything we cooked with got boiled so that works great also. Definitely recommend multiple purification sources as it just gives a guy more flexibility. I may go with a bigger bladder next time for camp water, maybe 6-10L MSR.* #### Fire starting kit *Definitely bring something as a fuel source such as wet fire or trioxane tablets. We waited until we killed both our bulls to have a campfire.* #### Kill Kit *Basically an overkill version of the one on Rokslide. The interchangeable blade knives are awesome. My theory on using the havalon and the outdoor edge was that I would use the larger thicker bladed outdoor edge for the main butchering and the havalon for the detail work and fine caping. Never broke a blade with either and they both performed exactly as I thought although I thought for sure I was going to break the folding outdoor edge while making the cut up the back of the hide.* #### Hygiene Kit *Definitely bring this!* #### Photography/Videography *My smartphone was my go to; I honestly never even got the gopro out of the tent because it was much more convenient just to reach in my pocket. That being said don’t forget external chargers, they are awesome. Dad’s solar charger only worked for brief periods on 2-3 days. Very over casted.* #### Comms *Would not go back without my [Delorme inReach](https://www.blackovis.com/garmin-inreach-mini-2-handheld-gps?avad=355681_f3c4b947d)! It was awesome!* #### Land Navigation *A decent GPS and a compass are important. Lots of these areas are flat and everything looks the same when you start getting away from camp. Especially in the alders, would be easy to get lost. Learn to use some kind of coordinates whether it is latitude/longitude or UTM grid coordinates simply because if something were to happen, being able to communicate precise location is necessary. Also good to set waypoints when you find good calling spots.* #### Weapons *I saw different setups from 7mm rem mag up to 338 lapua; the 300 win mag seemed to be the more common as well as the Barnes bullets. I’m very satisfied with my choice and wouldn’t hesitate to use it again. I also wouldn’t buy a new gun over it if you have something in that range. According to an article I read that surveyed 1500 moose hunters from Canada the most popular calibers were 270 win, 30-06, 308, 7mm rem, and 300 win mag. Side arms; matter of preference. I left it in the tent as something to make some noise with if something decided to get at us in the middle of the night. Thankfully that was a non-issue. The glock was fun for [ptarmigan hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/grouse-hunting/) after we shot our bulls.* #### Misc. *I used the crap out of all the stuff on that list. Kind of wish that I had brought the “Moose Magnet” calling funnel as I ended up making a makeshift funnel by the end that worked well. With the funnel it not only projects volume but gives you more of a raspy sound.* Follow Kyle Hanson on Instagram [@kylehansonoutdoors](https://www.instagram.com/kylehansonoutdoors/). ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Idaho-backcountry-Elk-walltent-camp-Buck-Horn-Outfitters-vetted-by-Kyle-Hanson-with-the-horses.jpg) Kyle Hanson Hunting Consultant I am fortunate to send hundreds of my clients a field every year with incredible customer satisfaction.

limited by cost and draws in our opportunities to pursue them and slake our fever induced thirst. But the fact is with some planning and diligence most of us can put ourselves in a position to complete a FNAWS or North American Sheep Slam depending on which camp you fall into. We'll do our best to show you how to draw a sheep tag, or at the very least improve your odds. **Content:** Most of us want to be sheep hunters, but we have a limited bank account, so drawing a tag is the only way. Luckily, we can teach you how to draw a sheep tag. With some planning and diligence most of us can put ourselves in a position to complete a [FNAWS](https://www.wildsheepfoundation.org/awards/hunting/north-american-fnaws) or [North American Sheep Slam](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/) depending on which camp you fall into. ## How to Draw a Sheep Tag ### Apply for Every Sheep Tag You Can Put in for as many of the draws as you can afford and stay with it. If you’re diligent you will pull a tag. On average it will take between 8-12 years to draw depending on the state and the trophy quality of the unit you’re trying for. Our [**OI Hunt Application Service**](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-application-service/) can help you with an application strategy, and we’ll even apply for you if you want us to. ### Play the State and Conservation Group Sheep Raffles In many states you actually have better odds of getting drawn in their raffle drawings than you do out of the normal draw pool. Set aside some money to put in for the different raffles as you never know when the hunting gods will smile on you. If you don’t draw, be happy knowing that you made a charitable donation to conservation. ### Don’t Forget About the **[OI Draw](https://outdoors-international.com/oi-draw-program/)** [ ![Win a DIY Moose Hunt in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Win-a-DIY-Moose-Hunt-in-Alaska-1-300x300.jpg "Win a DIY Moose Hunt in Alaska » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/win-a-diy-moose-hunt-in-alaska-draw-ticket/) [ ![Win a Brown Bear Hunt on the Alaska Peninsula in the Oi Draw](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Win-a-Brown-Bear-Hunt-on-the-Alaska-Peninsula-in-the-Oi-Draw-1-300x300.jpg "Win a Brown Bear Hunt on the Alaska Peninsula in the Oi Draw » Outdoors International")![Cory Glauner and Outdoors International client Bruce Templeton with a giant 10' 4" Alaska Peninsula brown bear.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Cory-Glauner-Bruce-Templeton-Alaska-Peninsula-Brown-Bear-Spring-2012-Client-AWCG-e1700488438364-300x300.jpg "Cory Glauner Bruce Templeton Alaska Peninsula Brown Bear Spring 2012 Client AWCG » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/win-a-trophy-brown-bear-hunt-on-the-alaska-peninsula/) [ ![Apply to win a DIY, Vessel-based Sitka blacktail hunt in Alaska.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/OI-DRAW-Serenity-Adventures-DIY-Blacktail-1-300x300.jpg "OI DRAW Serenity Adventures DIY Blacktail » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-bucks-and-ducks-giveaway/) ### Win the Lottery OK just kidding, but for a sheep hunter how nice would that be?

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

13B](https://outdoors-international.com/az-strip-13a-13b/) **Published:** December 21, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** The success rate in the draw is 1%. Don't gamble your success on hoping to get lucky on The Strip. Here is some good information to get you started. **Content:** The Arizona Strip hunting units 13A and 13B produce giant mule deer every year, year after year. It has the genetics AND the trophy management strategies in place to ensure that this track record continues. Mule deer bucks over 200 inches Boone and Crockett are taken EVERY year on The Strip. The only downfall is that you’ll typically have to wait a decade or longer to hunt the Strip. The success rate in the draw in either unit 13a or 13b is around 1%. We can help with your [application strategy](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-application-service/). ### We highly suggest that you [hire a good outfitter](#more-information) if you draw an Arizona Strip tag! ![arizona strip mule deer hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Arizona-Strip-Mule-Deer-Hunt-in-Unit-13B.jpg "Arizona-Strip-Mule-Deer-Hunt-in-Unit-13B.jpg » Outdoors International") ## Arizona Hunting Unit 13B ### Unit 13B has a long history of producing giant bucks. Unit 13B on the Arizona Strip is our number 1 top pick for the [best mule deer hunting unit in Arizona](https://outdoors-international.com/arizona-mule-deer/), maybe even the world. - The first season in Unit 13B is an [archery mule deer hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/last-minute-arizona-muley/) starting in mid-August. If you want to take a monster muley with your bow, apply for this tag as your first choice (success rate for drawing the archery tag is about 20%). - The second Unit 13B mule deer hunt the rifle hunt that starts in early-November. The Unit 13B rifle hunt is the premier mule deer hunt in Arizona. This hunt can be a rut hunt depending on the weather and rainfall.

Unit 13A also has an early season archery hunt and a November rifle hunt. The rifle hunt is a little bit later than 13B, so it has better rut dates. Unit 13A should be your second choice when applying for Arizona mule deer.

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!

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.

North America, OI Hunt Application Service --- ### [About Black Bears](https://outdoors-international.com/about-black-bears/) **Published:** June 10, 2022 **Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** American black bears (*Ursus americanus*) evolved from bears that traveled from [Asia](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-in-asia/) to North America on the [Bering Land Bridge](https://westernwildlife.org/black-bear-ursus-americanus/) about 8 million years ago. Like their Asian ancestors, the black bear is omnivorous. Because it is able to thrive in a variety of different environmental conditions and is incredibly resourceful, it was able to survive the last ice age, while other, less adaptable predators became extinct. About 10,000 years ago, it is widely believed, that the black bear was the only bear living in North America before [brown bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/) migrated south from what is now known as [Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/black-bear-hunts-in-alaska/) and the Yukon territories. ### The defining identification of black bears is their flat shoulders and straight profiled face. Because they can climb better than almost any other bear species and can run at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour, uphill or downhill for short distances, these bears can still be dangerous and deserve our respect. Black bears are also excellent swimmers and enjoy a good swim. This is partially due to the fact that where there’s water there’s green grass to graze, and there’s usually fish in water, so black bears spend a decent amount of the time around rivers, lakes and streams. ### Black bears tend to be loners, and are timid and withdrawn, avoiding confrontations. Preferring a solitary lifestyle, black bears tend to mark trees with their teeth and claws in order to warn other bears not to enter their territory.

Live weight was probably about 1,100 pounds. He also measured 7 feet, 9 inches long. ([Most hunters consider anything that squares over six feet big](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-square-a-bear-hide/).) But the truth is, it’s not very often that you get the [opportunity to take a big black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/russ-meyer-bear-hunting-tips/). I mean, a [REALLY BIG black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/blazing-saddles/). #### To become a giant black bears need high protein diets, good genetics and maturity. Luckily, we have a few [black bear hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/black-bear-hunting-guides-and-outfitters/) that offer a good chance at giant black bears. To fit the bill, an area needs to be remote with an abundance of food and good cover. That’s what’s needed to produce big bruisers. Our [Alberta](https://outdoors-international.com/alberta-black-bear-hunt/) and [Saskatchewan bear hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/saskatchewan-bear-hunts/) each have great bear density and a lot of opportunities to fill your tag with a toad of a boar. Both areas have an almost completely un-hunted population of bears due to remoteness. If you have never hunted black bears before, **this is your big chance to hunt giant black bears!** If you like the sound of a [**remote, spring black bear hunt**](https://outdoors-international.com/where-to-find-black-bears-in-the-spring/) in an area that produces some of the [biggest black bears in North America](https://outdoors-international.com/biggest-black-bears/), then grab your rifle or your bow and lets get on some unhunted, old age class, giant black bears!

**Published:** January 29, 2018 **Author:** Cory Glauner **Excerpt:** If you have booked a self-guided moose hunts, here are a few things you should know from hunters who have been on the hunt. **Content:** I know that some of you are turned off by the high price of [guided moose hunts in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-trophy-moose-hunt/), and for good reason. Prices are getting pretty crazy, so more and more people are considering self-guided moose hunting. If you have been looking for an ***affordable way to hunt huge moose in Alaska***, look no further than [our self-guided moose hunting trips](https://outdoors-international.com/unguided-moose-hunting-in-alaska/). We’ve sent literally hundreds of hunters on these hunts, and amazingly most have been successful! ### We’ve spent years vetting (and culling) self-guided moose hunting transporters. Because of this, we’ve got the best DIY hunts in Alaska dialed in. Both success rates and trophy quality are both excellent, the only problem is availability. These hunts book fast, so [**contact us for pricing and available dates**](https://outdoors-international.com/contact-us/) if you’re seriously considering this hunt. ## Self-Guided MOOSE HUNTING - The most attractive thing about our Alaska unguided moose hunts are that they are MUCH cheaper than a fully guided moose hunt. - Most moose tags are [available are over-the-counter](https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=moosehunting.main). - Hunting season is the month of September, during the moose rut. - Unguided Outdoors International clients regularly take 55 to 65+ inch bulls! - Our hunters have enjoyed a 75% success rate, and their opportunity rate is 90 to 100%. Success is slightly higher on the fully guided hunts. - These areas are very conducive to calling and we recommend that you [**learn to call moose**](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-call-moose/) before you go on your hunt. - [Black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/black-bear-hunts-in-alaska/ "Black bear"), wolf and wolverines are always a possibility, so be sure to get your tags. - Packing out a moose is very physically demanding and is not for the weak or physically disabled. Most of the areas are 30% – 50% black spruce with meadows and tundra ponds. Walking on the tundra is far more difficult than walking on flat firm ground. Be prepared! - Since this are fly-in, DIY moose hunts, you can either provide all of the gear and food (most hunters ship it up ahead of time), or the outfitter will rent you the [equipment you need on your moose hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/unguided-moose-hunt-gear-list/) and sell you the food you will take. - Only US citizens are eligible for Alaska unguided moose hunts. ## Six Things You Should Know about Self-Guided MOOSE HUNTING ### Recently, I had my first experience with [self-guided moose hunting in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/by-the-skin-of-my-teeth/), and here are a few things that I learned: ![Cory learned how to call moose on his Self-Guided Moose Hunting trip in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Cory-Calling-Moose-from-the-Beaver-Lodge.jpg "» Outdoors International")Outdoors International Co-owner calling moose on his unguided moose hunt.### 1. Learn how to call moose, watch the videos. Calling is key! We called in our moose using a [combination of cow calling and raking a lot of brush](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-call-moose/). We used the *Bull Magnet [Moose Call](https://snp.link/cc137241)*, and it worked great. We also took a [moose decoy](https://snp.link/20ce05a3), we set it up several times. We didn’t have it set up for any of the moose we shot though, so it’s probably not necessary for self-guided moose hunting. ![Grizzly camp](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Arctic-Grizzly-Hunt-Camp-AWCG2-2-1024x576.jpg "» Outdoors International")Typical drop camp setup for self-guided moose hunting in Alaska.### 2. Should you bring your own camp gear or rent it from the transporter? On our self-guided moose hunting trip in Alaska, [we took all our own camp and food](https://outdoors-international.com/unguided-moose-hunt-gear-list/), we shipped it all up. Preparing was a bit stressful, but it wasn’t that bad. It probably ended up being about the same cost as using their gear, maybe a little more, but is was also nice having your own stuff. The transporter’s gear looked nice and would work fine and probably much easier than [organizing and shipping everything up](https://outdoors-international.com/preparing-for-an-unguided-hunt/). If you plan on taking your own food don’t buy anything while you’re at the village waiting to be flown out, it is very expensive. No booze in most of these small villages, so bring your own if you want any. If you don’t want to bring it back, it’s a good gift to leave with some of the Outfitter’s people that help you. Whichever option you choose, and there are pros and cons for both, there are a few key pieces of gear that you HAVE to take with you. - I would suggest a Satellite phone or even better, a [Garmin inReach](https://outdoors-international.com/garmin-inreach-mini/)![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=422179ca87a2438d6e622e63cff53c22&_cb=1551481207275) (we like the Mini) that you can text with, we had both. They were handy to keep in touch with the Outfitter once we had moose down and ready to pick up. - Make sure you have a charging system or take lots of batteries they go through batteries quick. - [Take plenty of good Game Bags. We had to pack our animals for quite a ways, so ](https://snp.link/9e751171)[we cut our quarters in half](https://outdoors-international.com/gutless-field-dressing/)[ and they still they weighed 70-80lbs.](https://snp.link/9e751171) ## 4. Be prepared for terrible weather and no-fly days! The weather we had was actually pretty nice 25-55 degrees, some rain, no snow, we were not weathered in any days. From everything I’ve heard it is not normally that nice so be prepared for anything. **There is a VERY good chance that you’ll be late flying into the field, late getting picked up from the field OR BOTH!** That’s just the way it is when you’re hunting in Alaska. In fact, every year we have a group or two who either have their trip cancelled at the last minute due to weather conditions, or sit in town for their entire hunt and never even get out into the field. **IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU [PURCHASE TRIP INSURANCE](https://outdoors-international.com/10-reasons-for-travel-insurance/) FOR ANY HUNT IN ALASKA.** It’s truly insane not to get trip insurance for any self-guided moose hunting trip in my opinion. ![River crossing](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Kyle-Hanson-River-Crossing-Arctic-Grizzly-Hunt-AWCG2-2-1024x768.jpg "» Outdoors International")You will be in and out of waders constantly. Don’t skimp here.## 5. Take waders. In the area we were dropped, having a good set of waders was key. We wore them everyday. **[It was WET](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-tyler-crocketts-moose-hunt/) and we wore them every day.** In discussion with some of the other groups they hardly ever used theirs, so not sure what to tell you on that. It depends on where you get dropped. Take them just in case. ## 6. Know how to you take care of your meat and trophies after your self-guided moose hunting trip. Once being pulled out of the field, the transporter crew made it very easy for us to[ take care of our meat, horns and capes](https://outdoors-international.com/preparing-for-an-unguided-hunt/). They took us right down the street where we shipped it to Anchorage, and it went out that day. The racks and capes went to a taxidermist where they were cleaned, tanned and then shipped to us. We gave half of the meat to locals (they were very grateful), and sent the other half to Anchorage where it was processed and then shipped to us. ## Self-Guided Hunts ### Our outfitter/transporters in Alaska have some great DIY hunts. On a self guided [moose hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/moose/) in Alaska, you’ll be dropped off in a remote camp, often along a river or lake. Depending on the hunt and location, you might have a raft or even a boat and motor. You’ll be responsible for setting up your camp. Once a bull is down, **and packed back to your camp,** text the transporter on your [inReach](https://outdoors-international.com/garmin-inreach-mini/) so a plane is sent to retrieve your meat if there is one in the area. ### Moose season in Alaska is short, and these drop camps are limited to ensure low hunting pressure and stable, high moose populations. Our Alaska unguided [moose hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/moose/) are usually 10 days, assuming that the transporter is on schedule when the weather allows flying. **\*\*\*BE PREPARED FOR NO-FLY DAYS\*\*\*** A full **one third of DIY hunts in Alaska are late getting into the field, late getting out of the field, or BOTH**. Expect that, because it’s just the reality of hunting in Alaska. On a typical day, you’ll rise early, eat breakfast and hunt the mornings, calling and slowly working the river or area sloughs close to camp. If there isn’t a river near your camp, you may have to climb a tree for a better vantage. Midday can be spent resting and calling from a stationary vantage point or location near camp. Hunt again hard in the evening when moose are more likely to be moving and responsive to calls. ### Patience is often the name of the game on a self-guided moose hunt in Alaska. As the weather and rut activity changes during the hunt, the moose activity and movement will as well. The area holds a high population of moose and a good number of legal bulls so persistence and hard work are regularly rewarded with big bulls. If you have a boat, use it to access areas along the river near camp and change locations as animal movement dictates. ### Are you up to the challenge of self-guided moose hunting in Alaska?

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10!

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.

can be a lot of fun because of the amount of activity you will have if you are with the right outfitter in the right area but there are several key things to consider about bear hunting, before you choose who you will be hunting with.  **Content:** If you’re thinking about bear hunts over bait, there are several key things to consider before you choose who you will be [bear hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/) with. We offer [great black bear hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/) over bait in [Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/black-bear-hunts-in-alaska/), [Alberta](https://outdoors-international.com/alberta-black-bear-hunt/), [Arizona](https://outdoors-international.com/arizona-bear-hunts/), [Idaho](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-bear-hunts/), Newfoundland, [New Brunswick](https://outdoors-international.com/new-brunswick-black-bear-hunting/), and [Saskatchewan](https://outdoors-international.com/saskatchewan-bear-hunts/). We also have a really good [baited brown bear hunt in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-hunting/) as well. ![Big bear at the bait barrel.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/094BF77A-AB0E-4E1F-B03B-45627CE1A948-scaled.jpeg "Saskatchewan Black Bear Bait Barrel Allen Sherwood Client LLO2 » Outdoors International") ## Hunting Bear Hunts Over Bait **Bear Hunts Over Bait Offer a Number of Advantages:** - [Hunting over bait](https://outdoors-international.com/bear-baiting-tip/) can be a lot of fun because of the amount of activity you *can* have. - High success rates. - Multiple opportunities gives a hunter a [good chance to take a trophy boar](https://outdoors-international.com/russ-meyer-bear-hunting-tips/). - Baited bear hunts offer an amazing archery hunting opportunity. - These are typically laid back hunts that are tons of fun. - The weather is usually nice. **Things to Consider Prior to Booking Your Hunt:** - [Trophy Quality](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-black-bears/) vs. Cost. - One Bear or Two? - Is [Color Phase](https://outdoors-international.com/color-phase-black-bears/) important to you? - Should you take a bow or your rifle? #### All of these are important questions that we’ll do our best to answer for you. [ Contact us About Booking a Bear Hunt ](#more-information) ![Bill Johnson with an Alberta black bear double!](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/IMG-20230526-WA0002-1020x552.jpg "Alberta Black Bear Hunt Client Bill Johnson LWO1 2023 » Outdoors International") ## Two Bear vs. One Bear Areas ### There are only a few places where you can shoot more than one bear (reasonably)… Alaska, Idaho and Alberta, Canada are at the top of our list. Traditionally, Alberta is twice the price of Idaho. In our experience, on [baited bear hunts in Idaho](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-bear-hunts/), you should see one to three bears per sit, as compared to three to five on average in Alberta. Alberta also has slightly bigger bears on average and both, dependent on area, have about a 50% [color phase](https://outdoors-international.com/color-phase-black-bears/). It’s just better hunting but twice the price. **Something to consider:** What we like about a two bear hunt is that it allows you to tip over a bear early that may be borderline trophy quality, and then be able to hold out for a true giant. Most new or first time bear hunters will dump the clutch of the first or second bear that comes in and realize they shot boo boo when they find him. Two bears areas allow for a redo. [ Contact us About Booking a Bear Hunt ](#more-information) ![The hunting territory is exclusive to the outfitter. Residents do not have access to hunt.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Alberta-Northern-Foothills-Black-Bear-Hunt-LWO1-1.jpg "Alberta Northern Foothills Black Bear Hunt LWO1 » Outdoors International") ## Trophy Quality vs. Hunt Cost ### Cost on baited bear is close to the same wherever you hunt them, but tends to be a bit cheaper in the Lower 48 with some exceptions. You need to make up your mind about what is most important to you, budget or trophy quality and success rates. **Please, please, please be wary of any “bargain hunt”.** Here is why: Where the outfitter makes up the money that is saved, is usually in baiting. It takes a lot of man hours, fuel and bait costs to [run a good bait](https://outdoors-international.com/bear-baiting-tip/) for weeks before you ever show up. On a cheap hunt that is where the money is saved to get you your “deal.” This is where you will need to remind yourself that you get what you pay for. ### As any animal, including black bears, the further North you go, the bigger the body size. This phenomenon is known as Bergmann’s Rule. To survive the winter the key element is body mass. The bigger you are the more cold you can stand. This said however, bears are not officially scored based on their body size, but by the [size of their skull](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-measure-a-bear-skull/). Genetically, some areas produce larger skulls than others. You may be surprised [where the largest bears come from](https://outdoors-international.com/biggest-black-bears/). \*As a side note, coats will thicken and lengthen as you go further north as well. Maine, is a good bang for the buck bear hunt for eastern hunters, but be wary who you choose to hunt with.

In our opinion, bear hunts over bait are made for bowhunters. If you have a bow, take it. Safety really is not really much of an issue while [hunting baited black bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-during-the-black-bear-rut/). If you bow hunt, then you should absolutely take your bow. They are very close and you will have a good amount of time to make a good shot. One note, if a bear climbs your tree, which actually happens quite often, don’t panic. They are just curious. Just take a bottle of water with you into the stand and if they start to climb, pour water on their head and they will go right down.

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!

**Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** When booking their [brown bear hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/), every hunter envisions taking a monster boar. But that’s not as easy as you think. First, you have to [hunt where big bears live](https://outdoors-international.com/largest-brown-bears/). Second, it is notoriously difficult to determine the size of a bear, especially from a distance. You HAVE TO LEARN the ins and outs of field judging brown bears! ## Field Judging Brown Bears - A big bear will look long with short legs. A round bear is a small bear. A long-legged bear is a small bear. - Big boars will look like they have small heads in proportion to the size of their bodies. - Ears will be on the sides of the head and appear small. - Body language is a dead giveaway. A mature boar will have a slow, deliberate swagger. Everything is calm and understated. - When a big brown bear faces you, there should be lots of shoulder protruding out from both sides of his head. - Trophy sized boars don’t have wrists. Their forearm is muscular and runs straight down to the toes. - On [Kodiak Island](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-hunting/), guides look at color. Generally speaking, the darker the bear the older it is. A “black” bear will always warrant a closer look. - One suggestion that we have is don’t overlook a “good” bear with a gorgeous coat. ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

Hide](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-square-a-bear-hide/) **Published:** January 23, 2026 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Most hunters are more interested in how to square a bear hide than it's official score and how to measure a bear skull. **Content:** Most hunters are more interested in what their bear square’s than it’s official score, which is [determined by the size of the skull](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-measure-a-bear-skull/). If you’re wondering how to square a bear hide, it’s really pretty simple. This measurement is determined by simply taking two measurements of the flat, un-stretched bear hide. ## How to Square a Bear Hide 1. Take your measurements after fleshing, but prior to salting. 2. Measure the length from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail. 3. Then measure the width from the end of the claws, across the shoulders. 4. Add these two numbers together, then divide by two. #### Let’s assume the length is 71 inches and the width is 76 inches. - Add the two measurements together: 71+76/2 = 73.5 inches. - Then convert to square feet: 73.5/12 = 6.125 square feet. ![Cory laying on Brandon's Washington black bear.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Cory-Brandon-WA-Black-Bear-2015.jpg "Cory-Glauner Washington black bear OLO1 » Outdoors International") ## What does a big bear square? - **Black Bears –** Black bears squaring 5-6 feet are about average. A bear over 6 feet is excellent. Seven-foot [black bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/) are trophies of a lifetime, likely 400 pound-plus animals. - **Grizzly Bears –** A big [interior grizzly](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/) squares out at around 8 feet and sometimes slightly larger. - **Brown Bears –** A giant [brown bear](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/) falls into the 9 to 11 squared feet range. - **Polar Bears –** The largest of the bear clan, a fully mature [polar bear](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/polar-bear/) can square up to and over 12 feet!

I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

International **Excerpt:** To qualify for the Super Slam of North American Big Game®, a hunter must have registered the legal taking of all 29 of the traditionally recognized species of big game animals native to North America. **Content:** To qualify for the Super Slam of North American Big Game®, a hunter must have registered the legal taking of all 29 of the traditionally recognized species of [big game animals native to North America](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/). For the big game hunter, there is no greater achievement and many have labored a lifetime to reach this astounding accomplishment. At one per year, it would be a 30-year quest. Some, lucky enough to get two or more, could cut that lifetime goal down a little. This gives an idea of the magnitude of the Super Slam aka the North America 29. The original **Grand Slam Club** actually began recording the achievement of taking all the recognized N.A. big game animals long ago, in the early 1970s. **Grand Slam** **Club** founder **Bob Housholder** was the one who began keeping up with hunters who had done so. With this history in mind, GSCO has brought this most difficult milestone to the forefront of the [hunting world](https://outdoors-international.com/capra-world-slam/), and given it the prominence it deserves. ![Bison are one of the species benefiting from re-stocking with funds raised through Utah’s Conservation Permit Program.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Live-Bison-AdobeStock_169131768-scaled-1-scaled-1.jpeg "Live-Bison-AdobeStock_169131768-scaled-1-scaled-1.jpeg » Outdoors International") ## Super Slam of North American Big Game When a big game hunter chooses to register their trophies with GSCO, they are permanently recorded and preserved for future generations. Since GSCO has been keeping up with the [Grand Slam of North American Wild Sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/)® for well over 50 years, it is among the things GSCO does best. ### Minimum Requirements and Eligible Categories for the North American 29: - Jaguar\* - [Cougar](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/mountain-lion/) (puma/mountain lion) - [Alaskan brown bear](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/) - [Grizzly bear](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/) (Common or [Barren Ground](https://outdoors-international.com/barren-ground-grizzly-bear/)) - [Polar bear](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/polar-bear/) - [Black Bear](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/) - [Gray wolf](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/wolf/) - Atlantic walrus - [American bison](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/buffalo-bovines/bison/) - [Muskox](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/buffalo-bovines/muskox/) (Barren Ground or Greenland) - [American mountain goat](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/goats/mountain-goat/) - [Dall sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/dall-sheep/) - [Stone sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/stone-sheep/) - [Rocky mtn. or CA bighorn sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/rocky-mountain-bighorn/) - [Desert bighorn sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/desert-bighorn-sheep-facts/)\*\* - North Baja - Desert bighorn sheep - South Baja - Nelson - [Pronghorn](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/pronghorn/) - [Rocky Mountain elk](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/elk/) - [Roosevelt elk](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/elk/) - [Tule elk](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/elk/) - [Alaska-Yukon moose](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/moose/) - [Western Canada moose](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/moose/) - [Eastern Canada moose](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/moose/) - [Shiras moose](https://outdoors-international.com/shiras-moose-hunts/) - [Alaska-Yukon barren ground caribou](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/caribou/) - [Central Canada barren ground caribou](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/caribou/) - Pacific walrus - [Arctic Islands caribou](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/caribou/) - [Mountain caribou](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/caribou/) - [Quebec-Labrador caribou](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/caribou/) - [Woodland caribou](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/caribou/) - [Rocky mtn. mule deer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/mule-deer/) - [Desert mule deer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/mule-deer/) - [Columbia blacktail deer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/blacktail-deer/) - [Sitka blacktail deer](https://outdoors-international.com/sitka-blacktail-deer/) - [Whitetail deer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/whitetail-deer/) - [Coues whitetail deer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/big-game/international-deer/coues-deer/) - [American alligator](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/alligator/) \*Darted or Record Book entry before 1972 (jaguar is not required, but can be substituted for another category) \*\*Only one subspecies allowed **[Register your animal](http://www.superslam.org/community/register-animal) | [Check your status](http://www.superslam.org/super-slam/super-ten)** ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

don’t like being surprised, so you need a solid game plan, the ability to move quietly and stealthily, and the fortitude to maintain your cool under stress. **Content:** When doing a [spot-and-stalk hunt for brown bear](https://outdoors-international.com/brown-bear-the-ultimate-adrenaline-rush/), it’s important to do your due diligence and study up on your prey. Learning how to [hunt brown bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/) is critical prior to setting foot in the field. Unlike [mule deer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/mule-deer/), they aren’t as likely to just run over the hill at the sound of a snapping twig. They don’t like being surprised, so you need a solid game plan, the ability to move quietly and stealthily, and the fortitude to maintain your cool under stress. ### Start by finding natural food sources that bears like. These change depending on the season. In spring they are somewhat lethargic and stay close to the den initially. They feed in short spurts because their stomachs are shrunk from not eating all winter. They’ll be looking for any available greenery to jump start their digestive tract. In the fall, they are on a mission, trying to fatten up before hibernation. They will be looking for berries, honey, oats, clover, wheat, [fishing](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing-trips/) on the salmon streams, and any other food sources they can find. ![In the early spring, you will be looking for bears coming out of their dens. Often they will emerge, do some exploring and return again to the den, leaving tracks in the snow. Finding those tracks is fairly easy if you have good glass, but then it’s a long hike in the snowshoes and you hope the bear is still there.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Cory-Glauner-brown-bear-hunt-with-Kodiak-Guides-in-Alaska.jpg "Cory-Glauner-brown-bear-hunt-with-Kodiak-Guides-in-Alaska » Outdoors International")In the early spring, you will be looking for bears coming out of their dens. Often they will emerge, do some exploring and return again to the den, leaving tracks in the snow. Finding those tracks is fairly easy if you have good glass, but then it’s a long hike in the snowshoes and you hope the bear is still there.### You need proper footwear. Your hunting boots should preferably something lightweight, non-bulky, with shallow tread, and easy to put on and take off. ### Good Gear is a Must on a Brown Bear Hunt Make sure you are well covered with no skin showing as brown bears have sharp vision and can spot you from miles away. Wear clothing that allows you to move quietly because they also have excellent hearing. Fleece and wool are great choices provided it allows you to blend in with your surroundings. Use existing cover, keeping your limbs in close and crouch low to the ground when making your final approach. Do anything you can to not look like a human, staying downwind and watching for wind changes as you move. Here’s a good [gear list for a brown bear hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/brown-bear-hunting-gear-list/). ### Stay Downwind! Bears can smell a carcass 20 miles away. **He WILL smell you** at 30 yards if you aren’t religious about being downwind. Read that again. ### Use Enough Gun Do your research and use [the right caliber and bullets for your brown bear hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/best-calibers-hunting-brown-bears/). And if you are using archery equipment, it would be wise to have practiced shooting targets 60-70 yards away. ![Glassing in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Kyle-Hanson-Glassing-Arctic-Grizzly-Hunt-AWCG2-1024x576.jpg "» Outdoors International")Planning a stalk or a good ambush spot is an exercise in patience and takes experience.## Ambushing Brown Bears ### Planning to ambush your bear? You will need to identify a choke point or transition area. Make your blind crosswind of their feeding area, leaving an opening or shot window free of obstructions. Make your blind ![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=49903d3cb9166fe4703ed5922710a640&_cb=1551736776562)well before the hunt as bears are acutely aware to changes in their surroundings. Although they may be [dangerous](https://outdoors-international.com/african-dangerous-game/), and [tough to get in to bow range](https://outdoors-international.com/jared-griffith-alaska-bear-hunt-report/) on, you may find this to be one of the most rewarding hunts when everything comes together. Shooting an animal from across the canyon can come with a little bit of disconnect. But when your 30-60 yards away, you can hear every movement, see every twitch, you can smell them. [In Europe, hunting brown bears from a blind](https://outdoors-international.com/eurasian-brown-bears/) is typical. ## Spot and Stalk ### Stalking a brown bear is a very personal, emotional, even spiritual experience. When you spot and stalk within bow range of an [Alaska brown bear](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-hunting/), you can feel the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, you can feel yourself connect with something primitive inside you.

**Excerpt:** Everyone knows they come from Kodiak Island in Alaska...right? Wrong! Most people are under that misconception, but the truth is this... **Content:** We didn’t believe it at first because everyone knows the biggest brown bears come from Kodiak Island…right? Wrong! ## Where do the Biggest Brown Bears Come From? ### It may come as a surprise that the Alaskan Peninsula produces the biggest brown bears in the world. Most people are under that misconception, but the truth is this; Thousands of years ago the Alaskan Peninsula and Kodiak Island were connected by one large sheet of ice. The “Kodiak” brown bears actually traveled from the Alaskan Peninsula to Kodiak Island. Eventually the sheet of ice melted leaving the bears on the island stranded. Now [brown bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/) and [grizzly bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/) are the same species, they are defined as one or the other [by an invisible line in the sand](https://outdoors-international.com/difference-between-brown-bear-grizzly/). The brown bears on the Alaskan Peninsula and Kodiak Island are bigger because they both feed primarily on salmon which is a high protein diet, while grizzlies feed mainly on rodents and small game. ![Our biggest brown bears come from the Alaska Peninsula.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Alaska-Peninsula-Brown-Bear-Hunt-AWCG1-4-e1700490626108-500x358.jpg "Alaska-Peninsula-Brown-Bear-Hunt-AWCG1-client » Outdoors International")In 2016 an Outdoors International hunter took this bear that squared 11′ 2″ with a 30.6″ skull.## Here are some stats: - Eight of the ten largest [Alaska brown bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/) entered into the [Boone & Crockett Record](https://www.boone-crockett.org/) books between 2007-2017 were from the Alaskan Peninsula, the other 2 from Kodiak Island. In fact, the [new Pope and Young world record](https://outdoors-international.com/new-world-record-brown-bear/) was just taken on the peninsula. - Of the 256 brown bears entered into the books during that span: - 50% were from the Alaskan Peninsula - 35% from Kodiak Island - 15% from everywhere else ### Based on those stats, it seems clear to us that hunting your brown bear on the Peninsula is the way to go for the biggest brown bears! Not only are most of the big bears coming from that area in recent years, but the price is substantially less than hunts on Kodiak Island (where you also have to draw a tag). ## Our Brown Bear Hunts on the Alaskan Peninsula ### **In the last ten years, we haven’t taken a bear that squared under nine feet on this hunt.** Every year we end up with two or three that are around ten feet and on that is either pushing or over 11 feet. Our largest [bear squared](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-square-a-bear-hide/) 11’3” and the next year 11’2″. The craziest thing about this hunt is the price… **save thousands over a hunt on Kodiak!** [ Contact us about booking a hunt ](#more-information) [ ![Kodiak Brown Bear Hunts in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Alaska-Kodiak-Brown-Bear-RE5-300x300.jpeg "Alaska Kodiak Brown Bear RE5 » Outdoors International")![Archery Kodiak Brown Bear Hunts in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Archery-Alaska-Kodiak-Brown-Bear-RE5-300x300.jpeg "Archery Alaska Kodiak Brown Bear RE5 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-hunting/) [ ![Field judging grizzly bears is notoriously difficult, and can sometimes be the hardest part of the hunt.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Hunting Gear List](https://outdoors-international.com/brown-bear-hunting-gear-list/) **Published:** January 14, 2026 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** If you stick to this brown bear hunting gear list, you’ll have everything you need on your hunt. If you’re on a guided hunt, your outfitter will provide a Satellite phone, or an Inreach for emergencies, and a first aid kit. Also, food, stove, fuel, water filters and tents will be provided on a guided hunt. **Content:** Here’s a basic brown bear hunting gear list that will give you a good idea of how to prepare for a standard [brown bear hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/). Other than the gear itself, one of the best tips we can give you is this: When packing your gear in your backpack, compartmentalize your gear in dry bags. Keeping your gear dry is extremely important. \*Be sure to check with your outfitter or consultant for any details or equipment that may not be included in this packing list. ## Brown Bear Hunting Gear List ### Clothing and Apparel ![Gear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Gear.jpg "Gear » Outdoors International")Save some money by renting gear from [RENT GUNS AND GEAR.](https://rgunsngear.com/)- Stocking hat and gloves - Top quality rain gear (top and bottom). This is a must! - 1 pair insulated hunting pants - 1 pair top and bottom insulated underwear, med-heavy weight (DO NOT BRING COTTON) - 2-3 hunting shirts - Heavyweight wool socks (1 pair for each day) - Heavy coat with Gore-Tex - Camp shoes - Insulated leather boots - Hip boots/Waders (for crossing creeks or dealing with rain) These are a must! - Personal toiletry items and required personal medications. ### Hunting Gear - Hunting License and guide/ client contract stored in a waterproof holder. - Binoculars - Spotting Scope with Tripod - Framed Backpack - Knives/sharpener - Flashlight and/or headlamp - Camera with extra batteries - Water bottle (with filter) - Insect repellent (100% Deet) - Batteries for any electrical device. Keep your batteries in something warm (like a wool sock) while you are in the field. Cold will drain them. ![A big Kodiak island brown bear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/KG-Alaska-Kodiak-Island-Brown-Bear-2-e1700668701367.jpg "Alaska-Kodiak-Island-Brown-Bear KO » Outdoors International") ### Rifle Hunting Gear - ![Brown bear shot placement](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Cory-Glauner-brown-bear-hunt-with-Kodiak-Guides-in-Alaska-61.jpg "Brown bear shot placement » Outdoors International")The [best calibers for brown bear hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/best-calibers-hunting-brown-bears/) are at a minimum 30.06 Springfield. Larger is better. - Take 20 to 40 rounds of good ammo. - Make sure if you are hunting bear to utilize rounds like Swift A-Frames, Barnes Triple Shocks, Nosler Partitions, Buffalo Bore or Federal Trophy Bonded Bear claws, softcore bullets like most Berger’s do not do enough damage to the bear for an effective kill. - **NO BALLISTIC TIPS!** ### Bowhunting Gear for Brown Bear Hunting - All hunters that wish to hunt with a bow must pass an Archery proficiency test, in either Alaska or another state. - Alaska requires your bow to be at least 50 pounds peak draw weight. 65 or more pounds is preferred. - Bring a half dozen arrows at least. In Alaska, your arrows need to be at least 20 inches in overall length, with broadhead, and at least 300 grains in total weight. - **Broadheads need to be heavy duty and the bigger the better.** Fixed heads seem to work better on bears than mechanicals. A diameter cutting surface on broadheads is important too. - You can carry both a bow and firearm at the same time while [hunting brown bears in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/). ### Muzzleloader Hunting Gear - Muzzleloader Hunters must pass a [Muzzleloader proficiency test](https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=huntered.muzzleloader) in either Alaska or another state. - Bring 10 to 20 rounds (preferably sabots over any type of roundball) 50 caliber or larger. - Use the heaviest grain loads possible matched with high grade traditional powder or Pyrodex to get the highest weight/velocity ratio your muzzleloader can shoot accurately.

I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

**Published:** January 1, 2026 **Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** There are currently eight different brown bear subspecies that are recognized by [Safari Club International](https://safariclub.org/). The [bears of the world](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/) can be found in the most remote parts of North America, Eastern Europe, [Asia](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/asia/) and [Russia](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/asia/russia/). They are one of the most interesting, powerful, awe inspiring animals on earth. ## Brown Bear Subspecies in Europe and Asia - **Siberian Brown Bears** range right between the Eurasian and [Kamchatka brown bear](https://outdoors-international.com/kamchatka-brown-bear-hunt/) in size. They have larger skulls and are more bold around people than some of the other brown bear varieties. - [**Eurasian Brown Bears**](https://outdoors-international.com/eurasian-brown-bears/) have a wide range of coloration from brown to blonde to reddish brown and even almost black. There have also been reported cases of albinism. They have round heads, small ears and wide skulls. - **Amur Brown Bears**, also known as Ussuri Brown Bears can be identified by their elongated skull, smaller forehead, and much darker color. Some call them the black grizzly. - **Kamchatka Brown Bears** are the largest bears in Eurasia. With a much wider skull than the [Alaska Peninsula Brown Bears](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-hunting/), they can can grow nearly as large, from 7 feet- 9 feet in length. [ Contact us about booking a hunt ](#more-information) ![Alaska wilderness trip](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Alaska-wilderness-Brown-Bear-Fly-Fishing-Rafting-Patrick-Kissel.jpg "Alaska-wilderness-Brown-Bear-Fly-Fishing-Rafting-Patrick-Kissel.jpg » Outdoors International") ## North American Brown Bears There are about 25,000 [brown bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/) across Canada and the Northwest Territories; 30,000 in [Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-hunting/) and about 1,500 in the lower 48. Technically these bears are the same as the [grizzly bear](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/grizzly/). Here’s [how to tell the difference between brown and grizzly bears](https://outdoors-international.com/difference-between-brown-bear-grizzly/). - **Kodiak Brown Bear** is considered by many to be the largest subspecies of Brown Bear, They inhabit the islands of the Kodiak Archipelago. They are most active during the day and tend to go into hibernation in late October and leave their dens in early April. - **Alaska Peninsula Brown Bear** are some of the biggest bears in the world. They can range from 750-1250 lbs and can reach over 10 ft. They rival even the Kodiak Brown Bear. They’ve reached weights up to 1,500 lbs. - **Sitka Brown Bear** can be found in Southeast Alaska and Admiralty Island, Baranof Island and Chichagof Island (ABC Islands). They look a lot like the Alaskan Grizzly bear with a humped back and a nasty reputation.

I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

These are true free range red stags, born and bred in the wild. If a fair chase stag hunt is what you're after, we've got some great ones! **Content:** A red stag’s roar rips through the morning mist—a guttural, earth-shaking call that sets your pulse racing. No fences, no guarantees, just you, the wild, and a monarch of the wilds. Free range red stag hunting is the purist’s dream: a fair-chase battle of wits against one of nature’s grandest trophies, played out across the globe’s most stunning landscapes. From [Argentina’s sprawling pampas](https://outdoors-international.com/argentina/) to New Zealand’s alpine ridges, Scotland’s windswept moors to North America’s rugged forests, this is [big game hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/) at its rawest. Ready to answer the roar? Here’s your ultimate guide to free range red stag hunting—and how to book your adventure today. ## The Red Stag: A Fair-Chase Legend Red stags *(Cervus elaphus)* are icons of the wild—bulls tip the scales at 500-700 pounds, their antlers branching into 10-16 points, sometimes topping 350 SCI. [Red deer are native to Europe](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/europe/), [they were introduced to New Zealand](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-red-stag-new-zealand/), and South America over a century ago, thriving in untamed habitats. [The rut—when stags roar and clash for mates](https://outdoors-international.com/the-red-stag-roar/)—is prime hunting time: March-April in the Southern Hemisphere, August-October up north. Free range stags are more wary than their fenced cousins, with sharper instincts honed by open land. Even with the best outfitters, success rates hover at 60-80%, making every trophy a hard-earned badge of skill. ### Why Free Range? Free range red stag hunting isn’t just a hunt—it’s a test. No managed herds or predictable patterns; you’re up against nature’s full deck—weather, terrain, and a stag’s cunning. The challenge fuels the thrill: longer stalks, tougher shots, and a story that carries weight. It’s also more affordable than estate hunts. The payoff? A rack that screams authenticity, earned in the wild, not a pen. For purists and budget-conscious hunters alike, it’s the real deal. #### Be Sure to Ask Your Consultant if the hunt you want to book is truly free range! The term free range generally means truly wild, but it’s not always the case, it can be that they are running free but were not born wild. Africa is a good example, some animals are 100% born wild on a very large high fence reserve, but are born wild within the fenced area. Some are captured wild and moved in to the fenced reserve, or even bred in captivity, then traded. These stags will “go wild” very quickly once with the rest of the herds. If this matters to you, be sure to clarify with your Outdoors International Consultant prior to booking, so you get the hunt you’re looking for. DestinationRut TimingAvg.

Oh, and by the way, archery hunting is legal in Hungary. ![A giant red stag taken in Hungary](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/1032kg-768x1024-1.jpg "10.32kg Free Range Stag in Hungary » Outdoors International") #### A Giant Hungary Free Range Stag This incredible 10.32kg stag was taken in Hungary with our premier outfitter there. ### What to Expect: Argentina Argentina free range stags are from Hungary stock, which tend to be some the best genetics in their native Europe. ![Isaac Powell with his Argentina free range stag](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Argentina-TGB-2025-Isaac-Powell-Red-Stag.jpg "Argentina TGB 2025 Isaac Powell Red Stag » Outdoors International") #### A Good Argentina Free Range Stag You shouldn’t pass this stag up on a free range hunt in Argentina unless you’re ok with going home empty handed. ![Hayden Hayes with a great Argentina free range stag](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Argentina-Free-Range-Red-Stag-2025-TGB-WhatsApp-Image-2025-04-10-at-112409.jpeg "Hayden Hayes Client Argentina Free Range Red Stag 2025 TGB WhatsApp Image 2025-04-10 at 112409 » Outdoors International") #### A Giant Argentina Free Range Stag This is about as good as it gets in Argentina free range stag hunting. A stag like this is hard to come by anywhere. ### What to Expect: New Zealand New Zealand stags are of Scottish descent, but they have interbred with escaped animals from the estates. This makes them slightly larger than their Scotland brethren. ![Free Range Red Stag Hunting New Zealand](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Free-Range-Red-Stag-hunt-with-New-Zealand-Safaris-on-the-South-Island-14.jpg "Free-Range-Red-Stag-New-Zealand-NZS » Outdoors International") #### A Good New Zealand Free Range Stag Wild stags in New Zealand don’t get as big as they do in Argentina. This one is a shooter for sure! ![Russ Meyer with a giant free range archery stag.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Russ-with-his-MONSTER-free-range-red-stag-in-New-Zealand-HYH1.jpg "Russ-with-his-MONSTER-free-range-red-stag-in-New-Zealand-HYH1.jpg » Outdoors International") #### A Giant New Zealand Free Range Stag This was the biggest free range stag the outfitter had ever seen, and of course Russ Meyer sealed the deal. ### What to Expect: Scotland Scottish stags don’t get very large. Certainly not what most hunters imagine. However, don’t let that stop you from experiencing an amazing hunt. ![Guy with a nice stag](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Guy-Fernald-Client-Scotland-Red-Stag-CHS-2022.jpg "Guy Fernald Client Scotland Red Stag CHS 2022 » Outdoors International") #### A Good Scottish Free Range Stag Wild stags in Scotland simply aren’t that big. But the experience is stellar. ![Hunting the Scottish highlands for red stag.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Scotland-SKPH1-Red-Stag-2.jpeg "Scotland SKPH1 Red Stag 2 » Outdoors International") #### A Very Good Scottish Free Range Stag If you’re hunting stags in Scotland and see a stag like this, absolutely do not pass! It’s a giant. ### What to Expect: High Fence Red Stags Most of the red stags that hunters have roaring madly in their brains are sadly estate stags. It’s fine, and lots of fun to hunt them, but they are MUCH bigger than their free ranging cousins. ![She took an amazing stag](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Red-Stag-hunting-in-New-Zealand-on-the-North-Island-with-Poronui-15.jpg "Red-Stag-New-Zealand-North-Island-woman-Poronui » Outdoors International") #### Not a Free Range Stag Stags of this caliber simply do not exist in the wild. If you’re a free range purist, you will not shoot a stag like this. ![Hunting red stags in Argentina](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Argentina-TGB-2025-Branden-Smalley-Client-Red-Stag.jpg "Argentina TGB 2025 Branden Smalley Client Red Stag » Outdoors International") #### Not a Free Range Stag This 500+ inch beast was hunted on an Argentina estate. There’s nothing wrong with that, but it’s not free range. ## Free Range Hotspots: Where to Hunt 1. **South America – [Argentina’s La Pampa](https://outdoors-international.com/argentina-red-stag-hunting/)** Argentina’s La Pampa is a free range paradise—huge, sprawling ranches where stags roam wild, some hitting 350 inches. The March-April rut fills the plains with roars, like a scene from Jurassic Park. Stalk open grasslands or creep through thorny caldén scrub; when stags go quiet, it’s a stealth game tracking hoofprints and rubs. Packages include guides, lodges with asado feasts, and Malbec nights. Combo hunts—blackbuck, [buffalo](https://outdoors-international.com/argentina-water-buffalo-hunting/), or [dove](https://outdoors-international.com/argentina-dove-hunt/)—add bang for your buck. Buenos Aires’ tango and steak scene seals the trip. 2. **New Zealand – [South Island’s Public Lands](https://outdoors-international.com/free-range-red-stag-hunting-new-zealand/)** New Zealand’s South Island offers gritty free range hunts on public lands—300-inch stags in rugged mountains. March-April, roars echo through valleys, but expect multi-day treks, fickle weather, and steep climbs. DIY hunters thrive with good maps; guided hunts ease navigation. Fitness is key—10-mile days aren’t rare. The Alps’ jaw-dropping vistas make every step worth it. Pair with [trout fishing](https://outdoors-international.com/trout/) for downtime. 3. **Europe – [Scotland’s Highlands](https://outdoors-international.com/stag-hunting-scotland/)** Scotland’s Highlands are free range royalty—250-300-inch stags on open moors, hunted August-October during the rut. Hill stalking with a ghillie means hiking miles, glassing hillsides, and crawling for 150-yard shots. Packages blend tradition with raw beauty—think misty glens and whisky by the fire. 4. **Europe – [Ancient Forests of Hungary](https://outdoors-international.com/red-stag-hunting-in-hungary/)** Hungary has emerged as a top European destination for ethical, free-range red stag hunts, thanks to its vast public and private hunting grounds spanning over 2 million hectares. The country’s red stags are renowned for their massive, dark-antlered trophies—often scoring 180-220+ inches under SCI measurements—roaming freely in lowland meadows and hilly woodlands without supplemental feeding. Managed by a strict national hunting authority (OMVK), these hunts emphasize fair chase, making Hungary ideal for hunters seeking EU-compliant adventures close to home. ## The Hunt: Tactics for Free Range Success Free range [red stag hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/red-deer/) hinges on adaptability. During the rut, stags roar, making them easier to locate—guides mimic calls to draw bulls within rifle range (150-300 yards) or bow range (30-50 yards). A roaring stag might charge in, heart-pounding close; play the wind or spook him. Off-rut, it’s detective work—spot rubs, wallows, or tracks in mud. Morning and dusk hunts beat midday lulls. Terrain varies: Argentina’s flats sometimes need long shots, unless you’re in the brush. New Zealand’s peaks demand fitness, and Scotland’s moors test patience. Essential gear? Quality optics, layered clothing, and a rifle zeroed dead-on. Bowhunters, practice at 40 yards—stags don’t wait. Success isn’t guaranteed—weather flips, stags ghost you, or a bad shot wounds one and your hunt is over. Guides boost odds, especially for novices, but solo hunts (New Zealand, North America) reward prep. The thrill lies in the grind—a 10-hour stalk ending in a 300-inch bull is pure glory. ## Beyond the Trophy: A Global Journey Free range hunting isn’t just about antlers—it’s immersion. Argentina’s lodges serve sizzling beef and Malbec under starry skies; New Zealand’s backcountry camps hum with Kiwi tales; Scotland’s pubs pour drams of history. Each spot weaves culture into the hunt—gaucho barbecue, Highland reels, or a Buenos Aires tango show. For families or non-hunters, side trips (fly-fishing, city tours) keep everyone stoked. ## Practical Tips: Plan Smart, Hunt Hard - **Timing:** Book 12-24 months out—[rut seasons (March-April, August-October) fill fast](https://outdoors-international.com/the-red-stag-roar/). Shoulder months save cash but quiet stags. - **Budget:** Argentina and Europe are very affordable; [New Zealand is slightly more](https://outdoors-international.com/how-much-is-a-red-stag-hunt-in-new-zealand/). Factor flights, tips, trophy prep and shipping. - **Gear:** Pack light—boots, camo, binos, rangefinder. Rifles (.270, .30-06) or bows (60+ pounds). Rent locally if flying. - **Fitness:** Train for 5-10 miles daily; New Zealand and Scotland demand strong legs. ## Why Free Range Red Stag? It’s the hunt that strips you bare—no shortcuts, just skill versus wild. The roar hooks you, the stalk shapes you, the trophy humbles you. Argentina’s affordable, New Zealand’s epic, Europe’s historic—each delivers a saga. With seasons looming, the clock’s ticking. ## Book Your Free Range Hunt Now!

--- ### [Hunting in Ireland](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-in-ireland/) **Published:** January 24, 2026 **Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** Ireland’s rugged landscapes offer world-class hunting opportunities, from [stalking Sika deer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/sika-deer/) in misty forests to [wing shooting](https://outdoors-international.com/wingshooting/) over Atlantic marshes. Whether you’re a seasoned hunter or planning your first international trip, this guide covers all essentials to ensure a legal, ethical, and successful outing. #### History of Hunting in Ireland Hunting in [Ireland](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/europe/ireland/) dates back to Mesolithic times around 10,000 years ago, when early inhabitants relied on red deer for sustenance. The Normans introduced [fallow deer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/fallow-deer/) and enclosed deer parks after their 1169 invasion, establishing game laws and aristocratic traditions that emphasized venison as a status symbol. By the 17th-18th centuries, over 500 deer parks existed, peaking during land plantations in Ulster and Munster. The Great Deer Park at Glenarm, Co. Antrim, spanned nearly 3,000 acres and featured banqueting houses for elite hunts. Post-1750, fox hunting rose in popularity, shifting parks to ornamental uses amid economic changes. Today, modern practices blend these roots with sustainability, influenced by organizations like the [National Association of Regional Game Councils](https://www.nargc.ie/cpages/home) (NARGC). #### Hunting Traditions in Ireland Irish hunting emphasizes community and sustainability, often through 1,000+ local gun clubs under NARGC. Traditions include hound hunting for foxes and hares, coursing with greyhounds, and wing shooting with native [bird dog breeds](https://outdoors-international.com/the-best-bird-dog-breeds/) like Irish Setters or Kerry Beagles. Ethical codes, like [Coillte Sustainable Hunting Practice](https://www.coillte.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Coillte-Code-of-Practice-Sustainable-Hunting-March-2025.pdf), stress minimum standards for deer and game management. Cooking wild game is a growing tradition, with local podcasts discussing venison recipes and cultural evolution due to historical factors like land reforms. Unlike U.S. public lands, access relies on landowner permissions or outfitters, fostering a non-elitist, family-oriented vibe (30% hunters are farmers). ![A mini pheasant drive on Lambay Island in Ireland.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Ireland-Mine-Driven-Pheasant-Hunt-on-Lambay-Island-IPHT2image-1.jpeg "Ireland Mini-Driven Pheasant Hunt on Lambay Island IPHT2 » Outdoors International") **Species You Can Hunt** **Type:** **Key Notes:** **Red Deer** Big Game Indigenous: Hunting season is August through April. **Sika Deer** Big Game Introduced: Challenging to hunt. Hunting season is August through April. **Sika Deer** Big Game Introduced: Challenging to hunt. Hunting season is August through April. [**Fallow Deer**](https://outdoors-international.com/ireland-fallow-deer-hunting/) Big Game Introduced by the Normans: Hunting season is August through April. **Muntjac Deer** Big Game Invasive: Hunting season is year-round. **Wild Goats** Big Game Challenging to hunt. Tend to live in the same areas as Sika deer. **Pheasant, Partridge** Upland Birds Season is November through January. Driven hunts yield 40-50 birds/day. **Woodcock, Snipe** Upland Birds Season is November through January. Marsh hunts. **Ducks** Waterfowl Season is September through January. Coastal opportunities. **Geese** Waterfowl Season is September through October. Specific counties have hunting into January. **Hares, Fox, Rabbit** Small Game Hare Season is September through February. Fox with hounds year-round. #### Regulations and Legal Requirements Hunting is regulated by the [Wildlife Act 1976/](https://www.npws.ie/legislation/irish-law/wildlife-act-1976)2000 and [Firearms Act 1925](https://revisedacts.lawreform.ie/eli/1925/act/17/revised/en/html). You need a firearms certificate (€25-38/year, includes game license) from An Garda Síochána, plus a free deer license from NPWS. Minimum age: 16. Visitors get temporary licenses with landowner details. Firearms import requires prior approval; most calibers allowed for hunting rifles. Prohibited: National Parks (e.g., Killarney), urban areas, 68 wildfowl sanctuaries. Follow open seasons (see table above) and sustainable codes—no overharvesting. Insurance via NARGC or commercial policies is essential. For U.S. hunters: Check EU weapon directives; outfitters handle permits. With proper planning, hunting in Ireland can be a rewarding venture.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Slam](https://outdoors-international.com/wild-turkey-royal-slam/) **Published:** October 4, 2021 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** The Wild Turkey Royal Slam includes all of the species in the Grand Slam, plus a Gould's wild turkey. **Content:** The **Wild Turkey Royal Slam** is one of the most respected achievements in [turkey hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/turkeys/), recognized by the **[National Wild Turkey Federation](https://www.nwtf.org/) (NWTF)**. It builds on the classic [Grand Slam](https://outdoors-international.com/wild-turkey/) by adding the challenge of harvesting the elusive **Gould’s** subspecies — pushing hunters beyond U.S. borders into the rugged landscapes of northwestern Mexico (or limited draws in the Southwest U.S.). ### What Makes the Royal Slam Special? To officially complete a Royal Slam, you must harvest and register **five distinct subspecies** of wild turkey: - [**Eastern**](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/turkeys/eastern/) — The classic gobbler of hardwood forests east of the Mississippi. - **[Osceola](https://outdoors-international.com/florida-osceola-turkey-hunting-trips/) (Florida)** — Often considered the toughest of the U.S. birds due to limited range and wary behavior in swamps and palmettos. - [**Rio Grande**](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/turkeys/rio-grande/) — Found across the plains and brush country of the central and southwestern U.S. - [**Merriam’s**](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/turkeys/merriams/) — Mountain and prairie dwellers of the West, known for striking white-tipped feathers. - [**Gould’s**](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/turkeys/goulds/) — The extra step that defines the Royal Slam; larger birds with long legs, adapted to drier, mountainous regions primarily in [Mexico](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/mexico/). Fewer than 700 hunters have officially registered this feat with the NWTF, making it significantly rarer than the Grand Slam (which thousands have achieved). The Gould’s hunt often requires international travel, proper permits, and working with experienced outfitters — adding real logistics, cost, and cultural adventure to the pursuit.

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.

Slam includes an Eastern; Merriam's; Rio Grande; and Osceola wild turkey. **Content:** The **Wild Turkey Grand Slam** is the foundational achievement in [turkey hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/turkeys/), officially recognized by the **[National Wild Turkey Federation](https://www.nwtf.org/) (NWTF)**. It’s the most popular and accessible of the slams — the starting point for many hunters before stepping up to [Royal](https://outdoors-international.com/wild-turkey-royal-slam/) or [World](https://outdoors-international.com/wild-turkey-world-slam/) levels. To complete it, you harvest and register one of each of the four primary U.S. subspecies of wild turkey. This slam showcases the diversity of American turkey hunting: from dense Eastern forests to Florida swamps, open plains, and Western mountains. Thousands have achieved it (over 1,500 registered with NWTF as of recent data, representing a tiny fraction of hunters), but it still demands multi-state travel, season timing, and solid calling/scouting skills. ### The Four Subspecies Required for the Grand Slam - [**Eastern**](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/turkeys/eastern/) — The most widespread and abundant; found east of the Mississippi in hardwood/mixed forests. Classic gobblers with dark feathers and strong gobbles. - **[Osceola](https://outdoors-international.com/florida-osceola-turkey-hunting-trips/) (Florida)** — Limited to [peninsular Florida](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/united-states/florida/); often the toughest due to wary behavior, thick swamps/palmettos, and limited access. Smaller, darker birds with long spurs. - [**Rio Grande**](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/turkeys/rio-grande/) — Thrives in the central/southwestern plains, brush country, and river bottoms (e.g., [Texas](https://outdoors-international.com/south-texas-turkey-hunting/), Oklahoma, [Kansas](https://outdoors-international.com/kansas-turkey-hunt/)). Nomadic, with copper-tipped tails and moderate everything. - [**Merriam’s**](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/turkeys/merriams/) — Western mountain/prairie dwellers; flashy with snow-white tipped tail feathers. Often in ponderosa pine and open high country. ### Strategy Breakdown **This is the Entry-level Slam:** No international travel needed (unlike Royal/World), and many states offer multi-subspecies combos (e.g., Kansas/Oklahoma for Eastern + Rio; South Dakota for Merriam’s + hybrids). A successful Turkey Grand Slam strategy focuses on a south-to-north, early-to-late progression, starting with Florida’s Osceola in March, followed by Rios, Easterns, and finally Merriam’s in the West, maximizing spring season dates while managing logistics and state regulations for the Eastern, Rio Grande, Merriam’s, and Osceola subspecies. Key steps involve meticulous planning for varying seasons, locations (public vs. private land), and booking guided hunts for tough birds like the Osceola, while leveraging our knowledge for success across diverse habitats. **Target the Subspecies in Order:** 1. Osceola (Florida): Start here in early spring (March/April) as seasons open first. Plan for guided hunts as public land access is difficult. 2. Rio Grande (Texas, etc.): Follow with Rios, often found near water sources in scrub oak. 3. Eastern (Mid-South/East): Move north as seasons progress, often overlapping with Rios. 4. Merriam’s (West): Finish with Merriam’s in rugged, high-country terrain as their seasons are typically later.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

**Excerpt:** Unit 22 AZ is located right in the middle of the Mogollon Rim Country of north central Arizona, and has good elk densities with good trophy quality. **Content:** Arizona’s Game Management Unit 22 sits in the rugged [Mogollon Rim country of north-central Arizona](https://www.visitarizona.com/places/parks-monuments/mogollon-rim/), offering some of the state’s most remote and rewarding big game hunting. This is true wilderness—expect steep canyons, thick timber, and limited access. Horses, mules, pack goats, or serious [backpacking](https://outdoors-international.com/backpacking-gear-list/) are essential for getting in, hunting effectively, and packing out game. Low hunter pressure in the backcountry rewards those willing to go deep. Unit 22 splits into **North** and **South**, with the North often providing more tag availability for elk while both deliver quality animals in low-pressure zones. **Last Updated: January 2026** (Based on recent draw results and AZGFD trends. Draw odds, seasons, and populations shift annually—Always verify with one of our consultants, or [azgfd.com](https://azgfd.com).) #### Elk Hunts in Unit 22 Unit 22 remains a strong choice for quality [elk hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/elk/), with good densities and remote [areas that produce solid bulls](https://outdoors-international.com/arizona-elk-units/), especially during rut phases or late seasons. - **Draw Reality Update**: While some [late archery or muzzleloader options](https://outdoors-international.com/elk-hunting-in-arizona/) in Unit 22 North/South have been drawable with moderate points (e.g., 4–12 for residents in recent years), premium early rifle rut hunts (especially non-resident) now often require higher points—typically 11–20+ for South and even more for North in top codes. The “without many bonus points” era has tightened as demand grows. - North generally offers better tag numbers than South. - Late rifle seasons continue to shine for low-pressure trophy potential. [Contact us](#more-information) for a personalized point analysis and application strategy—we track the latest draw odds and can help maximize your chances. #### Black Bear Hunts Excellent opportunities for [trophy color-phase black bears](https://outdoors-international.com/arizona-bear-hunts/) (cinnamon, blonde, etc.) that [score into the books](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-measure-a-bear-skull/). Combine with other species where allowed for efficient trips. #### Coues Deer Hunts One of [Arizona’s top units for quality Coues whitetail](https://outdoors-international.com/blocks/oi-endorsed-arizona-coues-deer-hunts/). Archery hunts often pair well with black bear or [turkey](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/turkeys/). Recent post-fire regrowth (from burns in the 2010s–2020s) plus good moisture cycles in recent years have boosted feed and visibility in many areas—making the last few years some of the stronger seasons. #### Mountain Lion Hunts Consistently one of [Arizona’s highest-harvest units for mountain lion](https://outdoors-international.com/arizona-mountain-lion-hunting/). Great choice for houndsmen or spot-and-stalk hunters. #### Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep Unit 22 holds [Rocky Mountain bighorn](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/bighorn-sheep/) populations with periodic tags. These are extremely competitive (often max points or high random luck required), but they offer world-class trophy potential in rugged rim country. Worth building points for long-term. #### Over-the-Counter Options While Building Points Tired of the draw wait? Arizona offers [OTC archery tags](https://outdoors-international.com/over-the-counter-hunts-in-arizona/) for [mule deer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/mule-deer/) (and some elk/deer combos elsewhere).

**Published:** May 18, 2022 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** The habits of black bears just coming out of hibernation and how to use them to your advantage. Learning where to find black bears in the Spring is half the battle. **Content:** [Spring is a pretty awesome time to be in the woods](https://outdoors-international.com/spring-hunting-opportunities/) for [black bear hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/). There are a lot of different things happening this time of year. The snow is melting, the days are getting warmer and longer, the grass is getting greener and spring bear season is here. Hunting black bears in the spring can be tough because they can be out of their dens early and not even fully awake yet as the season begins. First, they are in need of protein and are focused on replenishing depleted fat reserves after drawing on them all winter. They typically hibernate for a period of 3-5 months, or between 100-150 days depending on location. The [weather can make or break your hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/10-reasons-for-travel-insurance/) no matter how well you plan your hunt. You can’t control the weather or the animals, and the weather usually controls the latter. Time your hunt appropriately, do your research, put in the work, and get that [bear of a lifetime](https://outdoors-international.com/black-bear-of-a-lifetime/). ![Cory with his 2016 archery black bear.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Cory-Glauner-44.jpg "Cory-Glauner-Idaho Archery DIY black bear » Outdoors International") ## Baiting Spring Black Bears ### There are several different ways to find early spring black bears, just remember that their primary focus coming out of hibernation is food. [Some states allow baiting for black bears in the spring](https://outdoors-international.com/biggest-black-bears/), which is a great way to fill your tag if you’re lucky enough to reside in a state where [baiting is legal](https://outdoors-international.com/bear-baiting-tip/). Some people are under the misconception that [baiting is somehow easy or unfair for bears](https://outdoors-international.com/booking-a-baited-bear-hunt/). ### The reality is that baiting usually takes more work than going the traditional spot and stalk route. Location, location, [location is the crucial factor](https://outdoors-international.com/cory-arrows-an-ancient-idaho-bruin/) when trying to [take a mature bear over bait](https://outdoors-international.com/russ-meyer-bear-hunting-tips/). You’re going to have to do some research and find a place with good bear density and little or no hunting pressure. ### Bait preparation is SUPER important if you want to have a successful hunt. 1. Bears have strong noses, so you’ll want to make sure you take some time to “develop” your bait in order to attract bears. What smells pleasant to a bear usually isn’t necessarily pleasant to us, so if your bait stinks, it probably isn’t a bad thing. 2. You need to have enough bait to keep the bears coming back to it for days at a time. 3. You also need to be willing to pack your bait into areas most people won’t go, which requires quite a bit of work. Get out some topo maps and find pathways such as rivers or creeks that bears commonly use for travel. 4. Make sure you also do everything you can to limit leaving your scent in the area and don’t go into the area unless the wind is right. ![Cory's archery black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Cory-Glauner-2018-Black-Bear-Idaho-Archery-DIY-5-1020x1275.jpg "Cory-Glauner-2018-Black-Bear-Idaho-Archery-DIY » Outdoors International") ## Spot and Stalk Hunting Spring black bears ### To find spring black bears, start by getting up high but below the snow line and looking for the greenest areas you can find. Bears will seek out the greenest tallest grasses to fill their bellies. They seek out areas such as [creek bottoms and south facing slope](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-hunt-report/)s to find new growth. They also love to feed on wild flowers, plant roots, clovers and wild onions. 75% of their diet is vegetation. They get the rest of their nutrition needs met feeding on insects, small mammals and carcasses. ### Look for scat, where there’s scat there’s bears. The size of the scat can be a good indication of the size of bear who left it. If it’s as big around as a pop can, it’s a really big bear. Logging roads and clear cuts are also a great place to find bears. You’re[ most likely to find them in the early morning](https://outdoors-international.com/my-daughters-first-bear-hunt/) right at first light or late in the evening at last light. They are not very active during the daytime. ![Mat, Russ and Cory with an archery Idaho bear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Mat-Cervantes-Cory-Glauner-Russ-Meyer-Archery-Black-Bear-Idaho-KO.jpg "Mat Cervantes Cory Glauner Russ Meyer Archery Black Bear Idaho KO » Outdoors International") ## Hunting During the Black Bear Rut ### Black bears mate primarily during May and June. At this point big boars are traveling long distances to find sows willing and ready to mate. [The black bear rut is an exciting time to hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-during-the-black-bear-rut/) as there is increased activity with boars roaming far and wide looking for females, and feeding has become a secondary need. If you’re trying to predict where to find black bears in the spring, it can also be tough during the rut. They become completely unpredictable and don’t follow their usual pattern. \*If you’re in a high density area, you could consider trying to [call in a black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-call-in-a-black-bear/). Our outfitter in [British Columbia](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-black-bear-hunt/) offers a great spot-and-stalk black bear hunt during the rut.

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.

you have a list of things you like to carry. However, this is an [Alaska caribou hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-caribou-hunt-combo/) gear list that we received directly from one of our [Alaskan outfitters](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/united-states/alaska/). There may be a few things here that you hadn’t thought about. ## Weight is the first thing to consider on your Alaska caribou hunting gear list. ### Overall Total Weight of this Gear List: 204.73 lbs + \[Your Body weight\] If you stick to this Alaska caribou hunting gear list, weights will vary, but should get you close. Be sure to do your homework so that you are properly [prepared for your hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/antelope-hunting-gear-list/). If you have questions about this gear list, be sure to [contact us](https://outdoors-international.com/contact-us/) or your outfitter. ![Glassing for caribou in greenland](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Greenland-Caribou-Glacier-Glassing-FFGO1.jpg "Greenland-Caribou-Glacier-Glassing-FFGO1 Scenery » Outdoors International") # GEAR IS EXPENSIVE #### Save some money on that once-in-a-lifetime hunt. [![Rent Guns and Gear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Rent-Guns-and-Gear.png "Rent Guns and Gear » Outdoors International")](https://rgunsngear.com/) [ check them out ](https://rgunsngear.com/) ## Clothing [Keep your clothing lightweight](https://outdoors-international.com/backpacking-gear-list/), warm and waterproof. Synthetic materials work best for hunting clothing due to their drying and wicking capabilities. we suggest you do not bring cotton. It is slow to dry, and does not wick away moisture. In short, COTTON KILLS. Blaze orange is NOT required in Alaska. - Base layers top/bottom: Sitka Merino Core top/Bottom, [First lite Merino boxers & T’s](https://snp.link/1ff08d36) x2 \*1.96 lb. - Intermediate layer top: Sitka Heavyweight Core Hoodie \*.9 lb. - Puffy top: Kifaru Full Zip Parka\*1.45 lb. - Soft-shell top: Sitka Jetstream \*1.49 lb.

The #1 thing we hear from our hunters when they return from their [caribou hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/caribou/) is that tundra is awful to walk in. It’s like trying to walk on frozen rolling footballs. A great pair of comfortable, well fitting, lace up, supportive hiking boots are ESSENTIAL! - Hiking boots: Lowa Tibet GTX \*5.13 lb. - Rubber boots: Irish Setter neoprene uninsulated \*4.29 lb. (may forgo) - Gators: Outdoor Research \*.63 lb. (may use Sitka Stormfront) - Waders: Match your waders to the area you will be hunting. Consult with your outfitter. \*.9 lb. - Socks: Darn Tough & Farm to Feet 4 pair \*.75 lb. - Camp Shoes: Crocs work great and are lightweight. **Total weight: 11.7 lbs** ## Electronics/Photography Your smartphone will probably be your go to. That being said don’t forget external chargers, they are awesome. Solar chargers don’t usually work very well because overcast days are the norm. - Phone with case: \*.55 lb. - Phone Scope bracket: \*.08 lb. - External chargers: [Poseidon](https://snp.link/828575cf) x2 \*.55 lb. - Charging cords: Poseidon cord, Suunto cord, wall charger \*.24 lb. - Flashlights: [Petzl Tikka](https://snp.link/a92795ef) & E-lite headlamps \*.19 lb. **Total weight: 1.61 lbs** ## Possibles Definitely bring something as a fuel source such as wet fire or trioxane tablets. - Batteries: AAA & AA Energizer Lithium Ion (Keep your batteries in something warm (like a wool sock) while you are in the field. Cold will drain them.) - Patch kit: Misc. glues and tenacious tape patches - Weapon cleaning & maint. Kit: Leatherman Skeletool CX w/ bit set, misc. small tools for rifle & oil (bits for scope caps and lug bolts) \*.5 lb. - Tape: duct tape & leukotape - Fire kit: Trioxane, flint/steel, lighters, waterproof matches - Insect repellent: 100% deet - Extra 550 cord: 50-100 ft. **Total weight: 2 lbs or less** ## First Aid Kit - IFAK - Band aids/basics - Meds: pain killers, anti-diarrheal, antibiotics, energy - Chapstick **Total weight: 1 lb or less** ## Hygiene Definitely take these items! - Baby wipes - Toothpaste & brush - Eye Drops - Skin Moisturizer **Total weight: 1.5 lbs or less** ## Paperwork - License & Tags (Non-Res Hunting License, Harvest tickets for caribou, Locking tags for caribou bear and wolf, everything signed) - Be aware of the Alaska caribou hunting regulations and take a hard copy into the field with you. For example: Alaska requires ALL meat to be packed out (bone in) prior to packing out the antlers and cape. This includes the ribs and neck meat. - Copy of Contracts: Both Agent and any from Outfitter/Transporter (Inside ziplock) - Transfer of possession forms: From Outfitter (inside ziplock) - Write in the rain journal and Pen **Total weight: 1.5 lbs** ![British Columbia caribou hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/British-Columbia-Mountain-Caribou-Hunt-BBCB-16-1.jpg "British-Columbia-Mountain-Caribou-Hunt-BBCB-16 » Outdoors International") ## Weapon(s) Our hunters use different setups from 7mm Rem mag up to 338 Lapua; the 300 Win mag seems to be the more common choice, as well as Barnes bullets. I also wouldn’t buy a new gun over it if you have something in that range. Side arms are just matter of preference. A pistol is fun for [ptarmigan hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-upland-bird-hunting/) after you shoot your bulls. - Rifle & ammo: \*11 lb. - Pistol & ammo: \*5 lb. (optional) - Hard travel case: Pelican 2 rifle with customizable foam \*N/A - Soft case for small plane travel: \*1.14 lb. (optional) **Total weight: 17.14 lbs** ## Pack - Pack frame/bag combo: EXO 500 or Kifaru Hunter frame, DT2 bag, Guide Lid, small belt pouch, Nalgene pouch \*7.38 lb. - Hauling attachments: Cargo net & lashing strap, & gun bearer \*1.5 lb. - Walking sticks: Easton Carbon Trekkers \*1.05 lb. - Lightweight tarp: Kifaru Sheep tarp with MSR Groundhog pegs\*.9 lb. **Total weight: 10.83 lbs** ## Optics I feel that a decent 10×40 or 8×40 is adequate. A spotter isn’t critical, but it would be nice. - Binoculars & harness: [Vortex Razor](https://snp.link/c5c345cd) 10×42, Sitka Bino harness \*2.86 lb. (w/rangefinder & pouch) - Rangefinder & pouch: Leupold TBR 1000, FHF pouch \*\*\* - Bino tripod adapter with qd plate: FOR adapter w/qd plate \*.19 lb. - Spotting scope with qd plate: [Vortex Razor](https://snp.link/c5c345cd) 27-60x85mm angled w/qd plate \*4.38 lb. - Tripod & head: Slik 624, Manfrotto 700RC2 panhead \*2.93 lb. - Foam butt pad: Z seat \*.08 lb. - Cleaning items: Lens cloth, Lens pen \*.2 lb. **Total weight: 10.64 lbs** ## Land Navigation and Communication A decent GPS and a compass are important. Lots of these areas are flat and everything looks the same when you start getting away from camp. Especially in the alders, would be easy to get lost. Learn to use some kind of coordinates whether it is latitude/longitude or UTM grid coordinates simply because if something were to happen, being able to communicate precise location is necessary. Also good to set waypoints when you find good calling spots. - [Delorme Inreach](https://outdoors-international.com/garmin-inreach-mini/) \*.44 lb. - Compass: Suunto \*.13 lb. - GPS: Suunto Traverse Alpha &/or Garmin Foretrex 401 \*.22 lb. - Radio’s: misc. walky talky **Total weight: .79 lbs** ![Drop camp](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/alaska-caribou-drop-hunt-AA1-camp.jpg "alaska-caribou-drop-hunt-AA1-camp.jpg » Outdoors International") ## Camp Gear ### This gear list is for two caribou hunters. Adjust accordingly. Prior to setting up your camp, survey the area; try to locate your tent(s) on a cleared off, level spot next to trees or bushes that will protect you from the wind. Keep food items in totes with lids, out of and a short distance away from your tent. - Tent: Cabelas Geodesic 6 man \*33.15 lb. (I wouldn’t recommend a floorless tent as most of these areas don’t have the solid ground for it. Also don’t bring too large of a tent because the flat spots that you can find usually very big.) - Cots: Cabelas lightweight x2 \*22.15 lb. - Tarps: 2-3x Lightweight 10×10 ft. \*5 lb. - Stove: Coleman 2 burner \*8.95 lb. - Lantern: Primus Micron \*.27 lb.

(2 rolls paper towels, 6 rolls TP) - Aluminum foil: \*.55 lb. - Soft sided Cooler: \*.85 lb. - Propane & Isobutane Canisters: Purchase in Alaska as you can’t take them on a plane. - Dish Soap - Salt for Capes: Purchase in Alaska or prior to trip 5-10 pounds. **Total weight: 86.53 lbs (not including fuel and salt)** ## Sleep System - Sleeping Bag: Kifaru 20 degree Slick Bag \*2.84 lb. - Air pad: Big Agnes Q-core SLX \*1.56 lb. - Pillow: Nemo \*.19 lb. - Woobie: Kifaru \*1.89 lb. (optional) **Total weight: 6.48 lbs** ### Water Storage/Purification - 5 gal collapsible jug: GSI folding cube x2 \*1.4 lb. - Bladder in pack: 4L MSR Dromlite with drink hose\*.37 lb. (may forgo hose attachment) - Nalgene Bottle: Bottle with human gear cap \*.44 lb. - Chemical or pill form: Aquamira A&B \*.14 lb. - Steripen; Classic Steripen with batteries \*.41 lb. - Pump: Katadyn Hiker Pro \*.92 lb. **Total weight: 3.68 lbs** ## Storage - Dry Bags: Outdoor Research 55L & Ditty sacks - Compression sack: Kifaru 5 String Medium - Lightweight pullouts: Kifaru Lightweight Pullouts - Contractor bags: 1-2 Large heavy duty - Lightweight trash bags: 2-3 Hefty trash bags - Ziplocs: Quart & Gallon, small assortment **Total weight: 2-3 lbs or less** ## Game Processing Gear to Take to Camp - Game bags Moose & Bear: TAG Bags, Caribou bags or Black Ovis Game Bags - Knives & blades: [Havalon Piranta & Baracuta](https://snp.link/e24c140a) - Gloves: HME Kits - 550 cord: 50ft reflective orange - Citric acid: Caribou gear kits - Large Contractor Bag \*Select an area away from camp for your “privy,” and cover waste prior to leaving. Consider burning food items, which are odorous or greasy to prevent problems with bears. Bag up metal and other garbage items to be hauled out. **Total weight: 5.31 lbs** ![Cooking caribou ribs out in the field](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/alaska-caribou-drop-hunt-AA1-cooking-camp.jpg "alaska-caribou-drop-hunt-AA1-cooking-camp.jpg » Outdoors International") ## Food ### This food list is for two caribou hunters. Adjust accordingly. This is just an example of food you could take that will keep your weight reasonable. Feel free to mix and match, but be aware of weight. - Breakfasts: Off Grid Predator Fuel and “real food” (egg beaters, sausage &/or bacon) - Lunches: Misc. dehydrated & real food (Off Grid, Peak Refuel, Mountain House, PB&J, Salami cheese n’ bagel) - Dinners: Off Grid, Peak Refuel, Mountain House - Snacks: [Probars, Probar Bolt Energy Chews](https://snp.link/edcffe33), Dehydrated snacks, jerky, PB - Coffee: Dark Timber packs - Drink mixes: Hot Chocolate mix, Propel packs, Renu go packs - Real food for breakfasts & lunch: Meats, egg beaters, bread, PB&J - Seasonings & Olive oil: Garlic powder, Sea Salt, & Pepper, Olive oil packets and small bottle - Supplements/daily vitamins etc. \*Do not cook inside your tent. This can deplete oxygen and can damage the ten leaving you without shelter. Use of your camp stove to heat your tent can cause you to run out of propane. Bringing the proper gear will have you outfitted to be comfortable without wasting fuel. **Total weight: 25-30 lbs or less** ## Game Processing Gear to Leave at the Hangar - Packaging for skull: bubble wrap, shrink wrap, cardboard, duct tape, packaging tape. - Meat storage/freezer bags: Gallon & Quart Ziploc freezer bags - Knife set & sharpener: Outdoor edge kit - Hard Cooler: Igloo 100 ## ADDITIONAL NOTES: This Alaska caribou hunting gear list would not be complete without these tips. Be sure you are fully prepared, and you will have the hunt of a lifetime. ### Hunt Insurance Any time you go hunting in Alaska, or anywhere for that matter, [**you should insure your trip**](https://outdoors-international.com/10-reasons-for-travel-insurance/). If you’re thinking about chancing it, think again. ALASKA WILL HUMBLE YOU. Stack the odds in your favor. ### Weapons and Ammo - Alaska law does not separate licenses or seasons by weapon. - Appropriate caliber selection is important. We recommend .30 caliber or larger. Smaller calibers will work just fine for caribou, but remember you are in grizzly bear country. - Select PREMIUM ammo and sight in prior to your hunt. While on a commercial flight, your ammo needs to be in the original box or a container specifically made to hold appropriate ammo. - Alaska archery requires a 40 lb. minimum draw weight for caribou hunting. - Also required is a minimum of 7/8″ broadhead with a 300 grain minimum (shaft/tip) weight. No mechanical broadheads are allowed. ### Field Care of Trophy We recommend consulting your taxidermist prior to your caribou hunt for instructions on caping and fleshing your trophy. Heads must be caped and fleshed in the field with the ears and lips turned and salted. We also recommend splitting the skull caps. They can easily be put back together by your taxidermist, and you will save hundreds of dollars on shipping fees. While in the field, keep your cape opened up, out of direct sunlight, and preferably hung in a small tree or bush so it can have air circulation and stay cool. ### Meat Care All edible meat must be salvaged. You are responsible for packing all edible meat back to the runway at your camp (including rib and neck meat). Meat of the front quarters, hindquarters, and ribs must remain on the bone until removed from the field (or eaten). Keep meat out of direct sunlight and a short distance away from your camp. Set it so it can cool and have circulation all around it. Don’t put your meat in a pile – it will either quickly spoil or freeze into one solid hunk. Antlers MAY NOT be removed from the kill site until ALL salvageable meat is removed. DO NOT STORE YOUR MEAT IN LAKES OR RIVERS. ### Fishing It is likely that you will be dropped near a stream or river which will probably contain Arctic char and grayling. If you wish to fish an [Alaska fishing](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing/alaska-fishing/) license IS required. ### Wolves We recommend that you purchase a wolf tag. They are a great bonus to a [caribou hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/caribou/). Harvested wolves must be skinned (hide and skull) for transport out of the field and then sealed by local troopers or [Alaska Department of Fish and Game](https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/). ### Bears You are in [grizzly country](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/). Respect them. If you see a bear, avoid it if possible. If you encounter a grizzly, make noise. YELL continuously. Stand up and make yourself look as large as possible. Do NOT run. Defend yourself by shooting the bear as a last resort. ### Staying Warm Moisture is your enemy! - Your sleeping bag will hold moisture and a few days build up may make it lose its ability to effectively insulate you. Open bags up, hang, etc to let them dry as needed. - Wet or damp clothing can be dried in the sun or next to a small fire… be careful. - Damp clothing can be worn in your sleeping bag and your body eat will dry it overnight. - Utilize layering of clothing during the day, and do not overdress while hiking. Sweating will make you cold for hours. ### Getting Picked Up On the day your are to be flown out, have your gear packed and ready to go. Do not pile gear/meat/antlers on the runway area. Keep it assembled off to the side where it was unloaded. Depending on the weather, you may need to keep a tent up for shelter. Stay near camp and be attentive to air traffic. Pick up times are weather dependent and not time specific. If the plane comes to get you and you’re not at camp or ready to go, the pilot may not be able to wait for you. If weather is unflyable, don’t panic. Remain at your camp and know that you will be picked up as soon as the weather breaks. ## What about hiring an outfitter? ### We have some incredible fully-guided caribou hunts that have higher success on big bulls.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

configuration can vary greatly between the caribou subspecies. While Woodland caribou bulls of eastern Canada typically have smaller racks, the Quebec-Labrador bulls can grow significantly larger and wider. Central barren ground bulls are perhaps the most diverse in configuration and can grow to be very high and wide. [Mountain caribou](https://outdoors-international.com/caribou-hunting-british-columbia/) are typically the most massive, with trophy-class specimens boasting the largest circumference measurements of all six subspecies. ## Huntable Caribou Subspecies 1.

They occur in most provinces and territories in Canada, except for Nunavut, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. They occur in small groups, spreading out across large, continuous areas of mature forests and peatlands. [![Woodland caribou herds span across nine provinces and territories.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Woodland-Caribou-Range-in-Canada-640x414.jpg "Woodland Caribou Range in Canada » Outdoors International")](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Woodland-Caribou-Range-in-Canada.jpg)Woodland caribou herds span across nine provinces and territories.### Woodland Caribou Hunting The island portion of Newfoundland and Labrador is home to thousands of rare woodland caribou. This region is the only non-resident huntable woodland caribou herds in the world. Non-resident hunters for woodland caribou have experienced more than a 90% success rate, with mature bulls weighing anywhere from 350 to 500 pounds. They are among the most difficult species for hunters making an attempt at the [North America 29](https://outdoors-international.com/super-slam-of-north-american-big-game/). ### World Record Woodland Caribou The world record Woodland caribou was killed in 1910 in Newfoundland. Taping out at 419 5/8 inches, this great bull is the epitome of what woodland caribou have to offer. If you’re looking to go Woodland caribou hunting in Canada, **[please contact us for more information](#more-information)**. ![Mountain Caribou](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Mountain-Caribou-Live.jpg "Mountain Caribou Live » Outdoors International") ## Mountain Caribou subspecies ### These are actually a variety of woodland caribou that live in the rugged mountain region of Northwestern Canada. Mountain caribou (*Rangifer tarandus*), are unique to the mountains of [British Columbia](https://outdoors-international.com/caribou-hunting-british-columbia/ "British Columbia") and northern Washington and Idaho. Mountain caribou are the southernmost caribou subspecies in the world. The southern population of mountain caribou that dwells in the south of British Columbia is threatened by predation and habitat fragmentation, but the northern populations are healthy and legal seasons are open in Alaska and some Canadian provinces including the [Yukon](https://outdoors-international.com/yukon-caribou-hunt/) and [British Columbia](https://outdoors-international.com/mountain-caribou-hunt-in-british-columbia/). ### Mountain Caribou Hunting in Canada Unlike tundra caribou, they don’t usually have mass migrations, making your hunt more predictable. During the hunt they are typically high up on the open ground, where they are relatively easy to spot but may be difficult to stalk. Boreal highlands are some of the most difficult terrain to navigate, so a hunter should be prepared for heavy physical activity. - British Columbia has guaranteed, OTC mountain caribou tags. - Mountain caribou carry more mass in their antlers and are thicker than the caribou of the far northern Yukon and Northwest Territory. - Our hunters in B.C. can hunt early caribou still in velvet, or above timberline during the rut. - [Mountain goat](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-mountain-goat-hunt/), [moose](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-moose-hunt/) and [Stone sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/stone-sheep-hunt/) can all be hunted in combination with [Mountain caribou in British Columbia](https://outdoors-international.com/mountain-caribou-hunt-in-british-columbia/). Our [Yukon moose hunt is typically a caribou combo](https://outdoors-international.com/yukon-caribou-hunt/). - Fair chase, spot-and-stalk true mountain hunt. - The weather can be snow, rain or sometimes pleasant Indian summer. ### World Record Mountain Caribou The Smith bull is an incredible specimen. With a jaw dropping score of 460 inches, this giant was taken in the Yukon Territories by Gregory Smith in 2016. A mountain caribou hunt is a memorable feather in any hunter’s cap. Although it can be physically demanding, and you will earn your critter, get ready for the [hunt of a lifetime](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-safaris-in-mozambique/)! **[We’d love to help you book this amazing hunt](#more-information).** On one of our BC hunts, bulls harvested during the rut average between 350-380 Boone and Crockett, with a couple bulls close to or exceeding 400 mark each year! ![A nice caribou bull](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/caribou-52.jpg "caribou live » Outdoors International") ## Barren Ground Caribou Subspecies ### This subspecies accounts for about 50% of all caribou found in Canada. Barren ground caribou are much smaller than the Woodland caribou, with the prime stags tipping the scales at 200-225 lbs. on the hoof. Their racks are huge in comparison to their body weight. Occurring in the Yukon Territory, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Historically, they used to occur in Alberta. Barren-ground caribou require large ranges, particularly because of frequent shifts in their Arctic and sub-Arctic environments, such as changes in snow cover, plant growth, as well as predation. They are known for their long-distance, yearly migrations and their tendency to gather in large groups at common calving locations in the spring. Barren-ground caribou naturally migrate to shallow snow covered regions during the winter. Over the summer, they often seek cool, damp and windy habitats that provide high-quality forage and low exposure to biting insects. ### Hunting Barren Ground Caribou Barren Ground Caribou are a subspecies of [caribou hunted in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-caribou-hunt-combo/), Canada and [Greenland](https://outdoors-international.com/greenland-caribou-hunting/). The arctic [caribou hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/caribou/) in Canada start in mid-August and end in mid-September. Whether you plan on hunting the first week or the last week, you should see plenty of [caribou during your hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/caribou/). [**Let us know if you’d like to start planning a caribou hunt.**](#more-information) ### World Record Barren Ground Caribou The Dobbs bull is the No. 1 Boone & Crockett entry in the barren ground caribou category. Coming in at a whopping 477 inches, it was taken in 1999 by Daniel L. Dobbs at Iliamna Lake, Alaska. ![Central Canada Barren Ground Caribou](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Central-Canada-Barren-Ground-Caribou-Live.jpg "Central Canada Barren Ground Caribou Live » Outdoors International") ## Central Canada Barren Ground Caribou Subspecies These caribou are very similar in appearance and size to their Alaska cousins, but can vary in size dramatically, based on where they are found. These caribou live on the tundra, and are found on the arctic islands and mainland NWT and Nunavut. They can also be found in extreme northeastern Alberta, northern Saskatchewan and northern Manitoba. ![Central Canada Barren Ground Caribou Range](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Central-Canada-Barren-Ground-Caribou-Range.jpg "Central Canada Barren Ground Caribou Range » Outdoors International") When hunting Central Barren Ground Caribou, you are hunting a non-migrating Caribou which remain in the same region year-round. This particular [caribou hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/caribou/) is in the Arctic Circle in the new territory called Nunavut, an area that is seldom traveled and sees few outsiders. ## ARCTIC ISLAND CARIBOU SUBSPECIES ### SCI categorizes the Arctic Island caribou separately, but for the Super Ten®/Super Slam® those are classified here as CCBGC. The caribou found south and east in the Northwest Territories (NWT) and Nunavut are within this same CCBGC classification. They could be considered medium-sized, but with mature bulls ranging all the way from 250 to 450 pounds. Antlers for the CCBGC usually score about the same as the Quebec Labrador caribou. However, caribou from the [Arctic Islands](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_Archipelago) score about 10 to 15 percent less than their western barren ground and mountain caribou cousins. ### World Record CCGC The Hotter bull was killed in Humpy Lake, NT in 1994 by Donald J. Hotter III. It scores 433 4/8 inches. ## Quebec-Labrador Caribou Subspecies ### Quebec and Labrador caribou is a variety of tundra caribou that is characterized by large scale seasonal migrations. The famous Leaf River and George River herd migrations of northern Quebec have been the focus of many hunter’s dreams for decades. However, after their numbers took an inexplicable downward surge, the province of Quebec has closed the hunting season. While once numbering in excess of 1.4 million animals, there are now fewer than 150,000 prompting the season closures as the George and Leaf River Herds are in free fall. This subspecies can however, still be legally harvested in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. ## BOOK YOUR CARIBOU HUNT [ ![OI Endorsed Alaska Reindeer Hunting Outfitters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/OI-Endorsed-Alaska-Reindeer-Hunting-Outfitters-300x300.jpg "OI Endorsed Alaska Reindeer Hunting Outfitters » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-reindeer-hunting-trips/) [ ![OI Endorsed Reindeer Hunting Outfitters in Norway](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/OI-Endorsed-Reindeer-Hunting-Outfitters-in-Norway-300x300.jpg "OI Endorsed Reindeer Hunting Outfitters in Norway » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/norway-reindeer-hunt/) [ ![Tyler Anderson took a monster bull while Greenland caribou hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Tyler-Anderson-Client-2024-Greenland-Caribou-SKJPH-2-300x300.jpg "Tyler Anderson Client 2024 Greenland Caribou SKJPH 2 » Outdoors International")![A great Greenland caribou still in velvet.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Greenland-Caribou-Hunt-SKPH3-300x300.jpg "Greenland Caribou Hunt SKPH3 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/greenland-caribou-hunting/) [ ![This is an incredible Yukon caribou hunt.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/BBCB6-Yukon-Mountain-CaribouCeaser-Lake-Outfitters-Yukon-Canada-Best-Caribou-Outfitter_0040-300x300.jpeg "BBCB6 Yukon Mountain Caribou » Outdoors International")![Yukon caribou hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/BBCB6-Yukon-Mountain-CaribouCeaser-Lake-Outfitters-Yukon-Canada-Best-Caribou-Outfitter_0005-300x300.jpeg "BBCB6 Yukon Mountain Caribou » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/yukon-caribou-hunt/) [ ![alaska caribou drop hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/alaska-caribou-drop-hunt-AA1-300x300.jpg "alaska-caribou-drop-hunt-AA1.jpg » Outdoors International")![Scott Baldwin DIY caribou hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Scott-Baldwin-Client-UGA-Alaska-DIY-Caribou-300x300.jpg "Scott Baldwin Client UGA Alaska DIY Caribou » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-caribou-drop-hunt/) [ ![mountain caribou hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/British-Columbia-Mountain-Caribou-Hunt-BBCB-David-Uehling-1-300x300.jpg "British-Columbia-Mountain-Caribou-Hunt-BBCB1-David-Uehling » Outdoors International")![A nice velvet bull](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/British-Columbia-Mountain-Caribou-Hunt-BBCB-21-1-300x300.jpg "British-Columbia-Mountain-Caribou-Hunt-BBCB1 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/mountain-caribou-hunt-in-british-columbia/) [ ![Guided Alaska Caribou Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Alaska-Barren-Ground-Caribou-Hunt-Seward-Peninsula-NMA1IMG_2651-300x300.jpg "Alaska Barren Ground Caribou Hunt Seward Peninsula NMA1IMG_2651 » Outdoors International")![Guided Alaska Caribou Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Alaska-Barren-Ground-Caribou-Hunt-Seward-Peninsula-NMA1IMG_2642-300x300.jpg "Alaska Barren Ground Caribou Hunt Seward Peninsula NMA1IMG_2642 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-caribou-hunt-combo/) ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

There are a few non-native outfitters offering incredible polar bear hunts without any of the common problems you hear about with native outfitters. Do your homework or [use a professional consultant to find the best outfitter](https://outdoors-international.com/polar-bear-hunting-canada/). ## How to avoid a disaster on your polar bear hunt. ### **Shopping for a bargain on an arctic hunt is asking for trouble!** ![The World Record Polar Bear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/World-Record-Polar-bear-350x293.jpg "» Outdoors International")The world record polar bear was the result of a hunt out of Kotzebue, Alaska in 1963.

Have those hunters returned to hunt with that Outfitter again? Repeat business is great sign. **[Here is the outfitter that ALL of them used.](https://outdoors-international.com/polar-bear-hunting-canada/)** 2. **Call the outfitter and ask how full they are for different species.** Finding guys who have a lot of openings in their upcoming season usually means one of two things; they either recently expanded their operation (rarely the case), or they cannot get clients to come back more than once. 3. **Check references.** Don’t call three people and book after they each give you a thumbs up. I recently spoke to 13 hunters, all of whom gave great reviews about a particular outfitter, but it was hunters 14 and 15 who made me worry… and in my opinion, one SOLID red flag is one too many. I continued my search. It doesn’t matter if someone gives me a $10,000 hunt for $3,500… if the hunt sucks, I don’t leave happy. On the other hand, if I pay $10K for a $10K hunt and have a blast, it’s worth every freakin’ penny! 4. **Can you handle it?** Going on a hunt in the arctic without good preparation and [top-notch cold-weather gear](https://outdoors-international.com/arctic-hunting-gear/) can get you killed… period! Make sure every piece of your gear, from [sleeping bag](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-choose-the-best-sleeping-bag-for-camping-backpacking/) to gloves, is rated for extremely cold temperatures. Hunting isn’t fun when you freeze your butt off or comeback with frostbite. 5. **Polar bears are dangerous.** Fred Bear was unsuccessful on two or three different polar bear hunts before taking one with his bow. Unsuccessful in the sense that the bears had to be taken by the guide with backup rifles in self defense. They endured life threatening flights into the Arctic, and once they landed they would pack blankets around the engine to prevent it from freezing over. Finally, on his third or fourth attempt, Fred Bear was successful with his bow. 6. **If you want to do an archery hunt for polar bear, be prepared to get charged.** Almost all polar bears will charge a bowhunter and need to be finished off with a rifle by your guide. However, it is possible if you are able to shoot effectively at 50 yards or more. 7. **Lastly, be aware of the laws associated with polar bear hunting.** The U.S. government doesn’t allow hunters to import polar bears. If you have a home outside of the U.S. or any connections internationally (where polar bear imports are legal), store your trophy there until the law is overturned. ### As if planning a polar bear hunt wasn’t hard enough, enter the global warming debate. Unfortunately, on top of an already difficult venture, polar bear hunting has gotten caught up in the larger debate over global warming. Scientists and environmentalists are pushing for a ban on polar bear hunting [even though polar bear numbers are stable](https://outdoors-international.com/inconvenient-truth/). Few Hunting Trophies are more desirable than the Polar Bear. To sum everything up, always research that big hunt you have in mind before you ever pull the trigger by sending your deposit to an outfitter, and if you’re not willing to put in the time, **[call a good hunting consultant](#more-information)** and have them do it for you… that’s their job! Fortunately, we’ve already done your homework in regards to hunting polar bear, and if an Arctic adventure is on your bucket list, you cannot go wrong with our polar bear hunting outfitter.

### [Where is the Best Red Stag Hunt in the World?](https://outdoors-international.com/what-is-the-best-red-stag-hunt/) **Published:** May 24, 2019 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** As someone who have devoted himself to specializing in providing Red Stag hunting advice, I have a ton of options...but which one is right for you? **Content:** Almost every day, hunters ask me where is the best red stag hunt in the world. To answer that question properly is nearly impossible as there are many factors, and no single hunt is best for everyone. Red Deer *(Cervus elaphus)* are a close cousin of the larger [American elk](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/elk/) or [wapiti](https://outdoors-international.com/elk-hunting-new-zealand/), [Russian maral](https://outdoors-international.com/maral-stag-hunting-kazakhstan/), and [sika stag](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/sika-deer/) (*Cervus nippon)*. These amazing game animals, originating in [Europe](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/europe/), have been introduced around the world as “[exotics](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/exotics/)” from [New Zealand](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/south-pacific/new-zealand/) and Argentina, to Texas and [Canada](https://outdoors-international.com/quebec-red-stag-hunting/ "Canada"). So let’s dig in and find out what is the best hunt for you and why. ## Where is the Best Red Stag Hunt in the World? If I play the word association game with you ask where to go for stag, most hunters say [New Zealand](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-red-stag-new-zealand/).That’s because it’s burned in our brain by the hunting shows on TV and the internet, but is it the best place to hunt stag? Is [Argentina](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/south-america/argentina/) better? Are you a purist who only want [wild, free ranging, native stags](https://outdoors-international.com/free-range-red-stag-hunting/)? Then we probably need to shift to [Europe](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/europe/) like [Hungary where the largest free range herd in the world lives](https://outdoors-international.com/red-stag-hunting-in-hungary/). If you’re looking at New Zealand….well, those are about half the size because they are of Scottish descent, not Hungarian bloodlines; so it that the hunt for you? If you’re a bowhunter, sorry Scotland is out unless you’re willing to pick up a rifle. The UK outlawed archery hunting. See how complicated it gets? ### We have a ton of options…but which one is right for you? Let’s start by listing the categories of terminology I hear on a regular basis and then explain what they actually mean. 1. Free Range Red Stags 2. Wild Stag 3. Fair Chase 4. Northern Hemisphere (Autumn seasons) 5. Southern Hemisphere (Spring Season) 6. Native Red Deer 7. Introduced Stags 8. Estate Hunts (High fence not to be confused with private hunting estates) ### Free Range Stags The term free range generally means wild but it’s not always the case, it can be that they are running free but were not born wild. Africa is a good example, some animals are 100% born wild on a very large high fence reserve, but are born wild within the fenced area. Some are captured wild and moved in to the fenced reserve, or even bred in captivity, then traded. These stags will “go wild” very quickly once with the rest of the herds. ### Wild Red Stags This terms is what you think it means, wild; born free, never fenced or bred. However, these stags may have had some help along the way with restoring breeding populations, fed over winter,or even had water sources made available to them. Are [whitetail deer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/whitetail-deer/) truly wild if they are fed special protein and mineral blocks along with eating high protein food plots to grow bigger antlers? What if they were bred then released into the wild? ### Fair Chase Hunts This term is most often misunderstood, most think it is synonymous with wild but it’s always the case. Fair chase can mean it runs “wild” in a large enclosure, but it can be small as well. [Boone and Crockett](https://www.boone-crockett.org/) uses fair chase as a term to mean no fences, which could even be low cattle fences. In the end the term needs to be explained on the hunt you’re asking about. We focus on very large estates over 2,500 to 30,000 acres before we really call it a [fair chase hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/fair-chase-hunts/). If it’s a 3,000 acres island and born wild, is that fair chase or wild? ### Hunting Red Stags in the Northern Hemisphere - Autumn Hunting Seasons - Best for native, wild and estates hunts in Europe - Can be high fence hunts in the United States and Canada also ### Hunting Red Stags in the Southern Hemisphere - [Argentina](https://outdoors-international.com/argentina/) and New Zealand - Late February to July, with peak rut in late March to Early April ![Stag Hunting Scotland](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Red-Stag-hunt-in-Scotland.jpg "Red-Stag-hunt-in-Scotland client » Outdoors International") ## Red Stags are Native to Europe The term native only means it is endemic to that natural born region: [Scotland](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/europe/scotland/); [Hungary](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/europe/hungary/); France; [Germany](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/europe/germany/) etc. A traditional European red stag hunt is a once in a lifetime experience and we highly recommend it. If you have never heard the roar of the red stag across the highlands then you are missing out on an awesome hunting experience. This is most popular with the purist looking for an excuse to vacation and [hunt in Europe](https://outdoors-international.com/mat-cervantes-hunting-in-europe/); perfect for bringing the family. The season would be July/August to October or even January with rut being September/October depending on the country. ### The largest native herds with the best trophy quality are found in Hungary, Germany and Romania, and Scotland. Scotland offers some spectacular [free range red stag hunting in the Highlands](https://outdoors-international.com/stag-hunting-scotland/). The stags aren’t as large, but the experience is amazing! Hunting in Scotland is a once in a lifetime experience and we highly recommend it. If you have never heard the roar of the red stag across the highlands then you are missing out on an awesome hunting experience.

Every since the time of the Romans, and possibly prior to that, red stags have been the premier big game animal. Because of that, people have introduced them across the globe. Even though red deer have been planted all over the world, but are wild only in a few like Argentina or New Zealand. [Argentina is probably our favorite](https://outdoors-international.com/argentina-red-stag-hunting/) because they have been living in the wild in the La Pampa region for a century. On top of that, we have a flat rate on big stags without trophy fees on 37,000 acres of free range wild stags. #### Red Stag Hunting in South America Every year hunters from all over the world [travel to Argentina to hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/south-america/argentina/) the majestic [red stag](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/red-deer/), but don’t overlook the fact that the climate and habitat here is ideal for a great number and diversity of big game animals. In [South America](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/south-america/), you’ll have an opportunity to see axis deer, blackbuck, hybrid sheep, water buffalo, fallow deer, [mouflon sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/mouflon/), feral goats, multi-horned sheep and the largest rodent in the world, the capybara just to name a few. Owing to extensive lands with the perfect habitat Argentina is known worldwide as a paradise for big game hunting. One of the most exhilarating big game experiences is red stag hunting in Argentina during the rut…the “[Roaring Season](https://outdoors-international.com/the-red-stag-roar/)!” The high concentrations and plentiful numbers offer a very real opportunity to harvest the trophy of a lifetime. #### Red Stag Hunting in New Zealand New Zealand is a beautiful country, and [hunting wild red stags](https://outdoors-international.com/outdoors-international-podcast-ty-cameron-new-zealand/) is one of the best ways we can think of to experience it. These [free range red stag hunts in New Zealand](https://outdoors-international.com/free-range-red-stag-hunting/) take place on private properties (low fence) throughout the South Island of New Zealand. These working sheep and cattle ranches that you’ll be hunting range in size from 10,000 to 60,000 acres, and are generally open hill country, with some more mountainous country. The main hunting area is 20,000 acres and around four hours drive from Christchurch city. These properties also have good numbers of free ranging chamois, tahr, and some [fallow deer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/fallow-deer/), and they can easily be added onto your stag hunt. Our outfitters limit harvest to ensure quality and high numbers of their wild herds. Many hunts are done from horseback, but that isn’t for you, 4×4 trucks and Polaris ATVs are also available. You will spend a lot of time glassing for a good bull and once one is spotted, a stalk will be planned. ![Rich with a giant New Zealand stag](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Rich-Archery-Red-Stag-New-Zealand-Client-2023-WCTH-.jpg "Rich Archery Red Stag New Zealand Client 2023 WCTH » Outdoors International") ## Estate Hunts This is always associated with high fence and I am not against the high fence estates, but I just want to make sure clients know the difference ahead of time. For example, in NZ around 90% of the hunts are high fence, bred, bought and sold. The next statement from my client after I explain that fact is: *“well, as long as it’s a really big area”*. So how big is big? In New Zealand the largest enclosure on the south island is 1,500 acres but most are 500…so is this the hunt for you? Well if you want the largest stag in the world there is only one place, estates in New Zealand! The new world record is over 800” and it’s with our outfitter. Texas and many other states offer good alternative high fence hunts as well, but nobody beats New Zealand. ## Trophy Quality [Safari Club International](https://www.safariclub.org/home) categories a gold medal stag at 300 1/8th inches. Stags and [elk](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/elk/) are in the same genus, but in their natural habitat, red stags are a smaller cousin. How did stags get to be larger than elk? Breeding and nutrition. So, when you’re looking to book the best red stag hunt for you, you need to ask yourself this question: Would you be happy with a good representative wild stag under 300 inches, 400 inches at max, or are you looking for a high fence monster that scores 500 inches or more? Although giant 300 inch plus trophy red stags can be found in non-native lands, in the UK a 6×6 or perfectly symmetrical 12 point stag with full crowns large enough to hold a whiskey glass is called a “Royal” and a very hard to find 14 point is an “Imperial”. ## So, where is the best red stag hunt in the world? - **For native purists, the best red stag hunt in the world would have to be in Europe.** - But remember there is no archery hunting in Scotland, nor are the stags there as large. - Hungary and Spain are great and legal for archery, but is your guide an archery hunter? Probably not. - In France we have specialty hunts for archery stag with flat rates. - **For the biggest stags in the world it’s a New Zealand estate hunt for sure.** - **Want a native giant? Then it’s Hungary.** Complete with hefty trophy fees that could break the bank at $10,000 plus. - **The biggest wild stag for the lowest cost is Argentina.** - **Don’t want to travel Internationally? Go to Canada.** ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

--- ### [Moose Subspecies](https://outdoors-international.com/moose-subspecies-alaska-yukon-canada-shiras-moose/) **Published:** May 18, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** There's some grey area in moose subspecies, but moose in North America tend to be darker, weigh more and have larger antlers than their European cousins. **Content:** Moose the largest of the world’s deer species and their large size, impressive antlers, and delicious meat makes [moose hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/moose/) popular around the world. There is a lot of grey area in the moose subspecies classifications so I won’t argue those points but simply break it down based on regions starting south and going north. Keep in mind that as moose progress north, they have adapted to the cold by increasing their body mass and their antler size has followed suit (general rule is further north you go the bigger the moose). Moose in North America tend to be darker in color around their faces and legs than their European cousins. They also tend to weigh more and have larger antlers. Antlers of North American bulls are more palmated than European moose as well. - The largest subspecies, known as [**Alaska-Yukon**](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/yukon-moose/), inhabit the Alaska and the [Yukon](https://outdoors-international.com/yukon-moose-hunts/) into the Mackenzie Mountains of the Northwest Territories. - The **Chukotka moose** from Kamchatka and Russian North-East is just as big as Alaska-Yukon. - Moose in Canada’s western provinces are classified as [**Western Canada moose**](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/canada-moose/), east of a line drawn across Ontario are [**Eastern Canada moose**](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/eastern-canada-moose/). - The [**Shiras moose**](https://outdoors-international.com/shiras-moose-hunts/) range extends through the Rocky Mountains south to Colorado and Utah; it has the smallest antlers of the North American moose. - The [**European moose**](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/european-moose/) is hunted in Norway, [Sweden](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-sweden-scotland/), Finland, the Baltics, Poland, and Russia. [ Contact us About a Moose Hunt ](#more-information) ![Our hunters have enjoyed a 75% success rate on Alaska-Yukon moose subspecies, and their opportunity rate is 90 to 100%. Success is slightly higher on the fully guided hunts.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/do-it-yourself-alaska-moose-hunt-AVA1-7.jpg "do-it-yourself-alaska-moose-hunt-AVA1-7.jpg » Outdoors International") ## Alaska-Yukon Moose ### The Alaska-Yukon is the largest moose subspecies AND of any antlered game in the world! #### ALASKA Moose hunts in Alaska are great, but they’re expensive. On most hunts you have a decent chance at a bull around 55-65 inches, with some huge bulls pushing up to the 70 inch mark. Many of the best areas for an [Alaska moose hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-trophy-moose-hunt/) are in draw areas, and in our opinion this is one of the best ways to hunt AK bulls. That’s if you are patient enough to wait till you draw ([we can help you apply](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-application-service/)). Alaska’s high costs are all about plane flights. It’s very expensive to get you remote, but even more, it’s expensive to get your moose back out. If you’re tough, and can get on the waiting list, check out our [unguided moose hunt in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/5-things-to-know-self-guided-moose-hunts/). #### YUKON TERRITORIES [The Yukon](https://outdoors-international.com/yukon-moose-hunts/) is a world-class hunting destination for Alaska-Yukon moose as well. The moose-to-human ratio in the Yukon is 2:1 and their population is steady to increasing. ![European moose hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/european-moose.jpg "european moose » Outdoors International") ## european Moose ### With their majestic size, impressive antlers, and elusive nature, the European moose subspecies has captured the fascination of hunters worldwide. European moose are characterized by their dark brown fur, long legs, and a dewlap under the throat. However, the most striking feature of the European moose is its massive, palmate antlers that can span up to six feet in width. These antlers are shed and regrow annually, making them a prized trophy for hunters. #### Distribution These incredible creatures are primarily found in Northern and Eastern Europe, with countries like Sweden, Finland, Russia, and Norway being top moose hunting destinations. Their habitat typically consists of dense forests, wetlands, and meadows, which offer plenty of cover and sustenance for these majestic beasts. Selecting the ideal location for your European moose hunt is crucial. Each country in Europe offers its unique hunting experience. [Sweden](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-sweden-scotland/), for instance, is known for its vast moose population, while Finland is renowned for its pristine wilderness. Norway offers a combination of challenging terrain and breathtaking landscapes. Your choice should depend on your preferences and the type of hunting experience you seek. Moose hunting seasons vary from country to country, typically starting in late September and continuing through December. Make sure to check the specific regulations and dates for the area you plan to hunt in. ![Newfoundland Moose Hunts for Eastern Canada moose subspecies.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/AO1-Newfoundland-Moose-Hunt-Aruluk-21.jpg "Newfoundland moose AO1 » Outdoors International") ## Eastern Canada Moose ### The Eastern Canada Moose subspecies *(Alces alces Americana)* is slightly smaller than the Western Canada Moose, with significantly smaller antlers, and a darker, blackish-brown coloration and reduced saddle area. The eastern moose’s range spans a broad swath of northeastern North America which are in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador (native to Labrador, introduced to Gander Bay, NF in 1878 and to Howley, NF in 1904), Nova Scotia, Quebec, Eastern Ontario, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and northern New York. You should check into our [Newfoundland moose hunting lodge](https://outdoors-international.com/newfoundland-moose-hunt/) if you need an Eastern Canada moose. It is top notch, and high success. These bulls aren’t as large as an Alaska-Yukon bull, but it’s a fun, high success hunt out of a remote lodge. Hunters going for their [North American 29](https://outdoors-international.com/super-slam-of-north-american-big-game/) need this hunt to complete their slam. ## Russia Moose ### Kamchatka has some giant bulls that are very comparable to Alaska-Yukon moose in Alaska. Bulls will average from 51-63 inches, and you can’t find a better value for trophy bulls…however, in general, moose hunts in Russia are just not consistent enough for our taste. Most outfitters over there hunt mostly from helicopters, and that’s just not a hunt we like to associate with. If we do find a vetted outfitter, we will update our site and send out a newsletter. Until then, this just isn’t a hunt that we offer. ![Shiras Moose Hunt in Washington State](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/ger-Schemper-Washington-Shiras-Moose.jpeg "Roger-Schemper-Client-Washington-Shiras-Moose-2021-AOO2 » Outdoors International") ## Shiras Moose ### Shiras moose found mostly in the Rocky mountains of the western US is the smallest of all the moose subspecies. British Columbia, Alberta, [Washington](https://outdoors-international.com/moose-hunting-washington-state/), Idaho, [Montana](https://outdoors-international.com/montana-moose-hunting/), Wyoming and [Utah](https://outdoors-international.com/utah-moose-hunting/) all have [Shiras moose hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/shiras-moose-hunts/). Typically, drawing a tag is the tough part, but there are a number of ways to get [Conservation Tags](https://outdoors-international.com/utah-conservation-tag-program/) or [Landowner Vouchers](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/landowner-tags/). Our British Columbia hunt is one of the only **over-the-counter Shiras moose hunts** available. ![British Columbia moose hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Trophy-moose-combo-hunts-in-British-Columbia-with-Terminus-Mountain-wilderness-Lodge-4.jpg "Trophy-moose-combo-hunts-in-British-Columbia-with-Terminus-Mountain-wilderness-Lodge-4 » Outdoors International") ## Western Canada Moose ### The Western Canada moose is the second largest North American moose subspecies, second to the Alaskan moose. The Western moose inhabits [British Columbia](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-moose-hunt/), [Yukon](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/canada/yukon/), Northwest Territories, Nunavut, [Alberta](https://outdoors-international.com/alberta-farmland-moose-hunt/), Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and North Dakota. Many of these hunts are associated with agriculture, and have a decent amount of resident pressure on the bulls. This can limit trophy quality to 20-40 inch averages, but there are pockets that produce better bulls. Our [Peace River moose hunt in Alberta](https://outdoors-international.com/alberta-farmland-moose-hunt/) makes a great archery hunt. You’ll see lots of moose and can ambush bulls coming out of the fields. British Columbia has the biggest Western Canada bulls on average. The key to [trophy moose hunting in British Columbia](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-moose-hunt/ "Moose hunting in British Columbia") is getting remote by horse, or float plane. The further back you go the better the bulls will be. Bulls in BC, especially northern BC can push over that magical 50 inch mark. A 50 inch bull in the Prince George are is definitely a shooter. North of Smithers a guy can actually get into 60 inch bulls. ## MOOSE HUNTING Guides & outfitters ### Outdoors International can help you find a great moose hunt with a vetted outfitter that fits your expectations. The hunt you book needs to be in an area and/or with an outfitter that would satisfy your trophy quality expectations, while also fitting your physical condition level and your budget. That’s what our service is all about. **[Let is know](#more-information) if you’d like to schedule a consultation.** [ ![An amazing Alaska

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Hunting in Alberta - What you need to know.](https://outdoors-international.com/non-resident-hunting-in-alberta/) **Published:** April 11, 2022 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Alberta is a hunter friendly province with lots of opportunities for non-residents. Here is a run-down on what you need to go hunting in Alberta. **Content:** Even though it’s a hunter friendly province, there are a few things you need to know about non resident hunting in Alberta. There are a ton of great hunting of opportunities for non-residents, and here’s a run-down on what you need to go [hunting in Alberta](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/canada/alberta/). [ Where can I find Alberta hunting regulations? ](#accordion-item-where-can-i-find-alberta-hunting-regulations?)Everyone who wishes to hunt in Alberta should read the current [Alberta Guide to Hunting Regulations](http://www.albertaregulations.ca/huntingregs/), which summarizes the regulations for all non resident hunting in Alberta. ### Hunters who are not Alberta residents fall into two categories: Different regulations apply to each category and both are also limited to certain licenses. 1. **Non-resident hunters:** You are not an Alberta resident but are a Canadian citizen and have lived in Canada for the 12-month period immediately before the date of your planned hunting or fishing activities. 2. **Non-resident alien hunters:** You are not a Canadian citizen or an Alberta resident. Most of you reading this post will fall into this category. [ Do non-residents and non-resident aliens need a Wildlife Identification Number (WIN)? ](#accordion-item-do-non-residents-and-non-resident-aliens-need-a-wildlife-identification-number-(win)?)**Yes.** Anyone who requires an Alberta hunting or fishing license needs a WIN (Wildlife Identification Number) card. The number is issued at the time of purchase so that there is no delay in receiving a license. [ How do I purchase a WIN card? ](#accordion-item-how-do-i-purchase-a-win-card?)You must complete an application form including a small fee at a private license issuer. The vendor will issue the new WIN on a paper receipt, and licenses or draw applications can be purchased at that time. A permanent WIN card will be mailed to you within six weeks.

A Designated Guide may guide not more than two Non-resident (Canadian) and Non-resident alien big game hunters at a time in any part of Alberta, provided that each non-resident (Canadian) or non-resident alien has contracted the hunt through an Outfitter-guide. The two-hunter limit does not include resident hunters. - **Big Game Outfitter** – guide has a valid Outfitter-guide permit, and provides outfitting and guiding services to big game hunters in Alberta. - **Class S Outfitter-guide** – an Outfitter-guide who holds Non-resident (Canadian)/Non-resident Alien allocations for Trophy Bighorn Sheep Special Licenses.

[ Can I bring my own firearms for a hunt in Alberta? ](#accordion-item-can-i-bring-my-own-firearms-for-a-hunt-in-alberta?)A simple one-page form must be filled out to obtain a temporary Canadian Firearms permit. This form (CAFC 909) can be downloaded from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Canadian Firearms Program.

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.

Outdoors International **Excerpt:** The new world record Marco Polo measures an incredible 72 x 71 inches and scores 256. It surpasses the previous Number One by 4 3/8 inches! **Content:** A new world record Marco Polo sheep has been set! Safari Club International has officially recognized the trophy, measuring an incredible 72 x 71 inches and scores 256. It surpasses the previous Number One by 4 3/8 inches. The Marco Polo is considered one of the finest [wild sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/ovis/) and is one of the very top hunting trophies. A member of the [Asia 8](https://outdoors-international.com/asia-8-sci-continental-award/) for good reason, these [sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/) rarely descend below 10,000 feet. ## World Record Marco Polo Sheep ![World Record Marco Polo Sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/World-Record-Marco-Polo-Golabchi.jpg "World-Record-Marco-Polo-Golabchi » Outdoors International")Golabchi took the ram in Tajikistan in the mountains around Karakul Lake. He simply says this was his 30th time [hunting Marco Polo sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/marco-polo-sheep-facts/) in Tajikistan and he keeps going back. The new world record Marco Polo ram was taken by Hossein “Soudy” Golabchi, who also holds the Number Two and Number Three spots in the SCI Record Book for Marco Polo. In fact, Golabchi, who is well known in sheep hunting circles, holds seven of the Top 10 Marco Polo trophies. ## Hossein Golabchi won the second annual Ovis award. The second annual [Ovis Award](https://www.slamquest.org/grand-slam-ovis-details.php) was presented on January 25, 2003. It was a remarkable event where Hossein Golabchi, widely known as Soudy, hailing from Augusta, Georgia, was honored as the recipient. Soudy Golabchi, originally born in Iran, embarked on a journey to the United States during his youth. As a visionary entrepreneur, he established Golmar Construction and Development Co. in Augusta, a thriving venture that has achieved great success. Soudy’s contributions to both the business realm and his community are truly remarkable. ### Soudy’s passion for hunting ignited during his early years in Iran, when he was just 16. Initially, he did not embark on trophy hunting, but rather pursued hunting as a recreational pursuit. However, his perspective shifted after becoming an American citizen in 1980. Since then, he has embarked on [trophy hunting expeditions](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/) across the globe, including multiple visits to his homeland, Iran. Soudy’s hunting expeditions have yielded an impressive tally of 65 [wild sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/ovis/) and 34 wild goats. Notably, this count does not include the multitude of Iranian sheep he hunted as a young man. His pursuits encompass an extensive range of 25 distinct species/subspecies of Capra (wild goat) and 35 species/subspecies of Ovis (wild sheep). Accomplishing three Grand Slams in his hunting endeavors, Soudy stands on the precipice of completing a fourth, needing just one more remarkable ram. ### Around 1990, Soudy developed a profound fascination for hunting the majestic Marco Polo in Tajikistan. This obsession led him to embark on 16 expeditions to the awe-inspiring Pamir Mountains. Astonishingly, out of the 11 or 12 Marco Polos he has successfully taken down, seven have surpassed the remarkable 60-inch mark, earning him great acclaim. In his home state of Georgia, Soudy has dedicated several years to enlightening young individuals about the importance of [wildlife conservation](https://outdoors-international.com/shane-mahoney-north-american-wildlife-conservation-model/). He has established a museum and trophy room housing an extensive collection of over 400 wild animals from around the world, showcasing the incredible diversity of over 225 different species. It is within these premises that he conducts enlightening training sessions for enthusiastic young minds. Soudy’s unwavering commitment to conservation places him in a league of his own. Over the past few years, Soudy has collaborated extensively with prestigious organizations such as GSCO and SCI in an endeavor to enhance trophy classifications. His interest in this area has been long-standing, and when called upon to lend his expertise, he readily accepted the significant responsibility. Notably, he spearheaded the committee responsible for Iran’s trophy classification, working diligently with various sheep and goat species. Soudy’s multifaceted identity as a trophy hunter and a staunch conservationist showcases his exceptional character. Undoubtedly, his invaluable contributions make him an exceedingly worthy recipient of the second annual Ovis accolade. ### Soudy Holds Numerous World Records Besides having numerous poli over 60 inches, he has hunted sheep in just about every conceivable place on earth, and he holds a number of world records as well as numerous top-ten heads. Soudy has close to 100 wild sheep hunts to his name, and once you have reached such a phenomenal number you can only write a book about the most interesting hunts and the highlights of your career, which is exactly what he has done. Whether it is the [North American Grand Slam of Sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/), the huge [argali rams of Central Asia](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/argali/), or the [urials](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/urial/) of his native Iran, Soudy has hunted them all . . . plus some, including most [ibex](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/ibex/), markhor, and [chamois](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/goats/chamois/). This is a phenomenal story of a single-minded obsession that has taken the author more than four decades to fulfill. ## Where to hunt Marco Polo Sheep The hunt is usually conducted at altitudes of 15,000 – 18,000 feet. Top physical condition is required. High altitude sickness with pulmonary edema, which strikes some hunters, may require emergency evacuation. One should not attempt this hunt without a thorough medical examination. ### Tajikistan Tajikistan is the premier destination for [Trophy Marco Polo Sheep Hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/marco-polo-hunting-tajikistan/), and for good reason, it consistently produce the biggest rams! Sheep hunting season in [Tajikistan](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/asia/tajikistan/) is September through March. ### Kyrgyzstan Because of the permitting, this is a hunt you will absolutely want help booking.

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.

Sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/scoring-aoudad-sheep/) **Published:** April 18, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** A trophy aoudad will usually have horns measuring 30″ from base to tip. A ram of this quality could be compared to a whitetail scoring 150″ B&C. Rams can however have horns stretching to 35″+. **Content:** When your scoring aoudad sheep, a trophy will usually have horns measuring 30 inches from base to tip. A ram of this quality could be compared to a whitetail scoring 150 inches B&C. Rams can however have horns stretching to 35+ inches. ## Instructions for Scoring Aoudad Sheep [![SCI score sheet for horns of wild sheep, bharal, aoudad and tur.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/SCI-Score-Sheet-Aoudad-Sheep-Bharal-Tur.jpg "SCI Score Sheet Aoudad Sheep Bharal Tur » Outdoors International")](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/SCI-Score-Sheet-Aoudad-Sheep-Bharal-Tur.jpg)SCI score sheet for horns of wild sheep, bharal, aoudad and tur.- **All measurements** must be made with a flexible 1/4 inch steel tape or cable to the nearest on-eighth (1/8) of an inch. To simplify, please enter fractional figures in **eighths**. - **DO NOT** use cable to measure circumferences, lengths only. - **Official measurements** cannot be taken for at least **SIXTY (60)** days after the animal was killed. The trophy must first have been stored under normal room temperature and humidity for at least **60 consecutive days**. No trophy will be considered which has in any way been altered from its natural state. - **Please submit photographs.** All entries must include photographs of the trophy. Photos of the right side, left side and front views are **required**. A photo at kill site if possible. - **Supplementary data measurements** indicate conformation of the trophy. The figures in line A and B are not to be included in the score. Evaluation of conformation is a matter of personal preference. ### L. Length of Horns Measured from lowest point in front over outer curve to a point in line with tip. **Don’t forget the Three Inch Rule![![Aoudad Scoring - Three Inch Rule](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Aoudad-Three-Inch-Rule-Diagram.jpg "Aoudad Three Inch Rule Diagram » Outdoors International")](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Aoudad-Three-Inch-Rule-Diagram.jpg)** Where the two horns almost come together at the top of the head is where you start. From the bottom edge of horn at that point (ridge of head), measure up three inches along top ridge of horn and make a mark. Then, with the skull facing you, start at the horn where it sorta dips down on the animal’s brow. Measure from that point, up to the three inch mark, then along the top ridge of the horn all the way down to the tip. That is your length. ### B. Circumference at Base Measured at right angles to the axis of the horn. DO NOT follow the irregular edge of the horn. Tape must be completely on horn material. ### C-2-3. Mass **Divide measurement of C of LONGER horn** by four; mark **BOTH** horns at these quarters even though the other horn is shorter, and measure circumferences at these marks. ### Do this for each horn, add it all up, and that is your score. No deductions. Good luck. #### BRONZE MEDAL: - 115″ (standard) - 103″ (bow) #### SILVER MEDAL: - 131 7/8″ (standard) - 116 3/8″ (bow) #### GOLD MEDAL: - 141 1/8″ (standard) - 130 6/8″ (bow) ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

International **Excerpt:** Most mule deer hunters get caught up in the outside spread when in reality, the actual measurement taken will be on the inside spread of the... **Content:** Being good at field judging mule deer begins with knowing the basics of scoring a mule deer. Under the Boone and Crockett Club’s scoring system, the gross score for a typical mule deer is the sum total of measurements of his inside spread, length of his main beams, length of points, and eight mass or circumference measurements. By definition, a typical mule deer will have four points per side, plus eye guards. When you’re out in the field, calculators tend to be in short supply, but there are a few quick things to look for to determine whether a buck is a “shooter”. ### Width Most [mule deer hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/mule-deer/) get caught up in the outside spread when in reality, ***the actual measurement taken will be on the inside spread*** of the main beams. It takes more than just being 30 inches wide to make a truly huge mule deer. - The easiest method for quickly judging the spread on any mule deer is the distance from ear-tip to ear-tip which is usually very close to 20 inches. - If a bucks antlers are roughly two inches past the outside of his ears on each side, then he has a 24″ spread. ![Mexico mule deer](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Cory-Glauner-Mexico-Mule-Deer-1024x786-1.jpg "Cory-Glauner-Mexico-Mule-Deer-1024x786 » Outdoors International")Even though this Sonora, Mexico buck is thirty inches wide (outside spread), that’s really all he has…we gotta say though, it’s a big, cool three.### Tine Length When field judging mule deer, start towards the bottom and work your way up. One of the most overlooked measurements on any buck is the brow tines, or G-1’s. As a general rule, mule deer have short brow tines compared to [whitetails](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-whitetail-deer/). - A good buck will usually (but not always) have **4 inch or longer brow tines**. - Next look at the **depth of the back forks**. If they meet or exceed 12-inches on the G-2. - Then move to the G-3, or the tine that together with the G-2, forms the back fork. **The G-3 should be at least a 6 inches.** - The “backs” are very often the weakest part of a mule deer rack and if they resemble a “crab claw”, then he is probably a young buck. The G-4 is the tine that along with the main beam produce the front fork. As opposed to the back fork, this fork will be much deeper in appearance. **G-4’s should be 10+ inches.** - In a nutshell, if a buck has good forks, on both front and back, he is a “shooter” in most hunters’ books. ![This buck has it all. Width, tine length, eye guards, mass, and a good main beam. SHOOT!](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Mule-Deer-Hunting-Alberta-Canada-GWH.jpg "Mule-Deer-Hunting-Alberta-Canada-GWH » Outdoors International")This Alberta buck has it all. Width, tine length, eye guards, mass, and a good main beam. SHOOT!### Mass Mass has saved the lives of many, many mule deer bucks… **when a buck has good mass, his tines look short**, and some hunters will let him walk… oops. There really isn’t a lot I can tell you about mass, except don’t overlook it. What a mule deer lacks in tine length, he can make up for in mass. - When scoring a mule deer buck, you will take four circumference measurements on his main beam, or H measurements. - The H-1 will be the smallest place between the burr and first point. - H-2 will be taken at the smallest place between the first and second point. - H-3 is measured at the smallest place between the main beam and the third point. - H-4 measurements are from the smallest place between the second and fourth point. - **If a buck has 35 to 40 inches if mass, he is big.** ![arizona strip mule deer hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Arizona-Strip-Mule-Deer-Hunt-in-Unit-13B.jpg "Arizona-Strip-Mule-Deer-Hunt-in-Unit-13B.jpg » Outdoors International")There really isn’t a lot I can tell you about mass, except don’t overlook it.### Main Beam When field judging mule deer, be sure to check all angles before making a decision to shoot or let him walk. **Main beam length can be deceiving**, especially if the only view you get is head-on. In most instances, if a buck has good width, the main beams should be good as well. Width and main beam measurements usually go hand in hand and these two measurements will usually be within an inch or so of each other. \*Remember width is main beam to main beam. There are bucks out there that will blow this little theory out of the water, but they are the exception to the rule… with them you will just have to guess. ![The Arizona Strip – Units 13A, and 13B](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Arizona-Strip-Mule-Deer-Hunt-in-Unit-13B-5.jpg "Arizona-Strip-Mule-Deer-Hunt-in-Unit-13B (5) » Outdoors International")The main beam on this buck is….well jaw dropping.### Symmetry One of the most difficult aspects of field judging mule deer is symmetry, or the scoring balance between the two sides of a bucks rack. It is quite easy to judge the symmetry of tine length, but main beam, can be very difficult to judge because it swoops to the rear and then juts forward and can trick the eye. While many bucks first appear to have unbalanced antlers, when scored are quite symmetrical. ![This is an INCREDIBLE mule deer hunt!](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Mule-Deer-Hunting-Alberta-Canada-GWH-6.jpg "Mule Deer Hunting Alberta Canada GWH » Outdoors International")This is an example of great symmetry.### Velvet vs. Hard Antler [Velvet makes average antlers look big](https://outdoors-international.com/high-country-velvet-dreams/) and big antlers look enormous, it’s that simple. Accurately field judging mule deer at this stage of the season can be tough. ![The hunt takes place in early November during the rut.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Arizona-Strip-Mule-Deer-Hunt-in-Unit-13B-4.jpg "Arizona-Strip-Mule-Deer-Hunt-in-Unit-13B (4) » Outdoors International")Velvet bucks can be deceiving, however sometimes they’re just obviously big!**NOTE:** Although by no means a confirmed calculation, whenever I’m field judging deer on the hoof, I typically subtract about five percent from what they appear to score to estimate the actual [Boone & Crockett](http://www.boone-crockett.org/) score. ### Sometimes when your field judging mule deer, no decision is needed at all! ![A huge mule deer on the Arizona Strip](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/A-huge-mule-deer-on-the-Arizona-Strip.jpg "» Outdoors International")Sometimes, there is no need to go through these steps.Usually a mule deer takes some evaluation to come up with a true estimation of its trophy quality, but every so often, if you’re lucky you will come across a buck of Boone and Crockett quality that will measure over the all-time book minimum of 190 inches. These are the bucks that require no second glance; you just know… SHOOT! Whether it is your first mule deer hunt or you’re an old pro, hopefully these tips will help you make a “snap judgment” on your next trophy mule deer. Most trophy bucks have at least a couple of these characteristics, but very few have all of them. Consider these features as you field score deer on your next outing and you’re well on your way to knocking down a trophy. BTW, here’s a good guide to booking a mule deer hunt. ## Browse our mule deer hunts.

Antelope](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-pronghorn-antelope-2/) **Published:** July 7, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Antelope can be difficult to field judge, here is a helpful guide so you can bring home the biggest trophy possible. Most hunters judge by horn length. This is a mistake, though, because length is only part of what makes an antelope score. **Content:** Field judging pronghorn antelope can be extremely difficult to judge on the hoof. There are sometimes exceptions to the rule, of course. If you see a buck that is between 80-90 inches, there will be no doubt that he is a shooter. There are four things to look for when field judging pronghorn. Look at the height (or length) of the horn, the mass (above and below the prong), the prongs and amount of curl at the tips. ## Tips for Field Judging Pronghorn ### I like to use the ears to help me when field judging pronghorn antelope. ![](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/field-judging-antelope.jpg "field-judging-antelope » Outdoors International")Use the ears to find out the approximate length of the horn. A pronghorn has ears that are about 5 1/2 – 6 inches in length. When you find one with horns about two and a half times the length of the ears, [he’s a good one](https://outdoors-international.com/pronghorn-antelope-fun/). Most [pronghorn antelope](https://outdoors-international.com/new-mexico-pronghorn-antelope-hunt-report-by-mark-sij/) hunters ONLY judge a buck by horn length. This is a mistake, though, because length is only part of what makes an antelope score. ### Use the eyes to judge mass and length of prong. If the base of the horn from the side is twice as wide as the eyes, which are about 2 inches across, that’s a good start. Then I look for a prong that looks to be about 2 1/2 – 3 times as wide as the eyes, and mass right above the prong almost as wide as the eye. ### The 4 x 7 Rule for Field Judging Pronghorn There’s the 4 x 7 rule used by the Eastmans. This rule tells you to look for: seven inch bases; seven inch D2’s; seven inch prongs; and a combined seven inches between the D3 and D4 measurements. Plus fifteen inch horns. This is a great way to get an idea of whether or not you’re looking at a trophy. ### He might be a *Booner* if he meets all these requirements. If he’s really big, you’ll know. And if you find that you’re trying to convince yourself that he’s big enough, he probably isn’t. ## The Boone and Crockett Scoring System Theodore Roosevelt and George Bind Grinnell founded the [Boone and Crockett Club](http://www.boone-crockett.org/) in 1887 with the intention to promote the conservation and management of wildlife and its habitat. The Boone and Crockett Club uses length of horn, length of prong and four mass measurements. - To find the length of horn, measure along the outside curve of the horn. Measure along the center of the outer curve from the tip of the horn to the bottom of the center of the base as viewed from the side. - The length of the prong is measured from the tip of the prong and then along the top edge of the outer side of the horn to a place on the back of the horn. - Then there are the mass measurements. There are four different measurements starting at the base. In order to figure out where the measurements are to be taken, the length of the longest horn needs to be divided by four. With the first measurement being at the base, the second measurement takes place a quarter of the way up. If the prong interferes with the second measurement, then it is taken right below the swelling of the prong. And if the third measurement falls anywhere in the swelling of the prong, the measurement is taken right above the prong. Even though most people look at length first when field judging pronghorn, mass is the most important. **Mass usually accounts for about 49 percent of the total score of an antelope.** Length is about 38 percent of the score, and prongs about 13 percent.

Caribou](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-caribou/) **Published:** February 6, 2019 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Caribou are the most difficult of North America’s big game animals to score. **Content:** Field judging caribou is difficult. Double shovels, double bez, long and wide main beams, good mass, double back-scratchers, symmetry, and more than two points at the top. Palmated points on top are best. When field judging caribou, the bottom of the rack is extremely important to the overall score. What’s down below separates an average bull from a great bull. [Boone and Crockett](https://www.boone-crockett.org/) recognizes five individual antler features that figure into the scoring of [caribou](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/caribou/). All of the [subspecies](https://outdoors-international.com/caribou-subspecies/) are scored in the same manner. No other deer species shows greater variety in it’s antler configuration. There is no such thing as a non-typical caribou. ![World Record Barren-Ground Caribou – 477 B&C](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/wr-bgc-header-1024x536.png "» Outdoors International")World Record Barren-Ground Caribou – 477 Boone and Crockett ## Field Judging Caribou ### Because there are so many measurements, field judging caribou can be complicated. Guessing point lengths, and then adding them up in your head to come up with a total score can be daunting. But, if you want to keep it simple here are some tips. When field judging caribou, you’re typically looking for double shovels, double bez, long and wide main beams, good mass, double backscratchers, symmetry, and more than two points at the top. Palmated points on top are best. - **Main beam:** The main beam rises directly from the skull. It grows outward and backward, and then usually forward to a tip. From head-on , you want to see the width extending well outside the girth of the bull. When looking at the profile of the bull, look for a large “C” shape in the main beam. A caribou bull with an “L” shaped or main beam with just a slight arc is likely not a shooter. When the animal has it’s head down feeding, the top of the beams should be about even with his shoulders. - **Brow palm:** The brow palm is sometimes called a shovel. It is often found on only one antler that projects in a perpendicular fashion forward over the face. Brow palms might show any stage of development from a single spike, to a many-pointed broad palm. One brow palm is typical, and a double shovel is a bonus! Brow palms need to be wide. Reference the distance of the eye to the tip of the nose to determine good width. As far as length goes, at least one of the shovels needs to extend nearly to the bulls nose. You don’t need to count the points on the brow palm(s), but there should appear to be a lot of them. - **Bez point:** Bez points grow forward from the main beam just above the brow palm. They usually have two or more branches and often show some palmation. A good bull will have bez points that extend as far forward as the largest brow palm. - **Rear point:** Rear points or “backs” usually develop as an unbranched spike. They project backward from about the middle of the main beam. Think of the rear points as a bonus. - **Tops:** The tops are a series of distinct, separate points that develop at the top of the antler’s main beam. The beam often shows distinct palmation at this location. There should be lots of top points with AT LEAST two long points per side. Palmation here is important because it gets measured twice. - **Mass:** We don’t recommend getting too hung up on mass. Even though there are four mass measurements per side, the difference between a bull with ‘heavy mass’ or ‘average mass’ will make very little difference in the end. - [**Contact us if you’d like to go on a caribou hunt.**](https://outdoors-international.com/contact-us/) ![Field judging caribou](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Screenshot_20180831-134424-e1699715545195.jpg "Alaska Caribou » Outdoors International")This is a good bull. It doesn’t have a great “L-shaped” main beam, but it has decent length. The brow palm is good and he also sports some nice bez points. No rear points, but good tops and decent mass.![Caribou hunting in Greenland](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Greenland-Caribou-FFGO1-2-1-e1619893875718.jpg "Greenland-Caribou-FFGO1 » Outdoors International")This is a really nice bull. He could use more of an “L-shaped” rack, but he still has fairly long main beam as compared to the bull above. He has a great brow palm that is super wide, has lots of points and extends past the end of his nose. His bez points are long, but could use some more palmation. His rear points or “backs” are awesome, and the tops on this bull are impressive but could use more palmation.![Notice the long L-shaped main beams on this trophy caribou bull.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Giant-Caribou-1024x725.jpg "» Outdoors International")Notice the long L-shaped main beams on this trophy caribou bull.### Caribou Hunts Offered by Outdoors International [ ![OI Endorsed Alaska Reindeer Hunting Outfitters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/OI-Endorsed-Alaska-Reindeer-Hunting-Outfitters-300x300.jpg "OI Endorsed Alaska Reindeer Hunting Outfitters » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-reindeer-hunting-trips/) [ ![OI Endorsed Reindeer Hunting Outfitters in Norway](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/OI-Endorsed-Reindeer-Hunting-Outfitters-in-Norway-300x300.jpg "OI Endorsed Reindeer Hunting Outfitters in Norway » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/norway-reindeer-hunt/) [ ![Tyler Anderson took a monster bull while Greenland caribou hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Tyler-Anderson-Client-2024-Greenland-Caribou-SKJPH-2-300x300.jpg "Tyler Anderson Client 2024 Greenland Caribou SKJPH 2 » Outdoors International")![A great Greenland caribou still in velvet.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Greenland-Caribou-Hunt-SKPH3-300x300.jpg "Greenland Caribou Hunt SKPH3 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/greenland-caribou-hunting/) [ ![This is an incredible Yukon caribou hunt.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/BBCB6-Yukon-Mountain-CaribouCeaser-Lake-Outfitters-Yukon-Canada-Best-Caribou-Outfitter_0040-300x300.jpeg "BBCB6 Yukon Mountain Caribou » Outdoors International")![Yukon caribou hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/BBCB6-Yukon-Mountain-CaribouCeaser-Lake-Outfitters-Yukon-Canada-Best-Caribou-Outfitter_0005-300x300.jpeg "BBCB6 Yukon Mountain Caribou » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/yukon-caribou-hunt/) [ ![alaska caribou drop hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/alaska-caribou-drop-hunt-AA1-300x300.jpg "alaska-caribou-drop-hunt-AA1.jpg » Outdoors International")![Scott Baldwin DIY caribou hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Scott-Baldwin-Client-UGA-Alaska-DIY-Caribou-300x300.jpg "Scott Baldwin Client UGA Alaska DIY Caribou » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-caribou-drop-hunt/) [ ![mountain caribou hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/British-Columbia-Mountain-Caribou-Hunt-BBCB-David-Uehling-1-300x300.jpg "British-Columbia-Mountain-Caribou-Hunt-BBCB1-David-Uehling » Outdoors International")![A nice velvet bull](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/British-Columbia-Mountain-Caribou-Hunt-BBCB-21-1-300x300.jpg "British-Columbia-Mountain-Caribou-Hunt-BBCB1 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/mountain-caribou-hunt-in-british-columbia/) [ ![Guided Alaska Caribou Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Alaska-Barren-Ground-Caribou-Hunt-Seward-Peninsula-NMA1IMG_2651-300x300.jpg "Alaska Barren Ground Caribou Hunt Seward Peninsula NMA1IMG_2651 » Outdoors International")![Guided Alaska Caribou Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Alaska-Barren-Ground-Caribou-Hunt-Seward-Peninsula-NMA1IMG_2642-300x300.jpg "Alaska Barren Ground Caribou Hunt Seward Peninsula NMA1IMG_2642 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-caribou-hunt-combo/) ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Year after year, even our [archery antelope hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/pronghorn/) clients have near 100% opportunity rates! Bowhunting antelope is a mental game. You are typically hunting all day in triple-digit heat, so it’s important to pace yourself.

If you’re prepared to sit in hot blinds for long days, you can strap your tag to an archery antelope. We have lots of choices to choose from in [Wyoming](https://outdoors-international.com/wyoming-antelope-hunts/), [New Mexico](https://outdoors-international.com/new-mexico-trophy-antelope-hunts/), [Colorado](https://outdoors-international.com/antelope-hunts-colorado/), and even [Montana](https://outdoors-international.com/montana-antelope-hunting/), so let us know what you’re looking for. ### Hunting over water holes is by far the most effective archery antelope hunting technique. Sitting water, under the right conditions can be a very effective way to hunt antelope, and we recommend it. Especially on your first archery antelope hunting experience. When it’s dry and hot, they have to drink, so hunters that are patient, and can [tough out the heat](https://outdoors-international.com/montana-archery-antelope-hunt-report-by-mike-mannen/) have a very good chance of getting a buck. Another great thing about hunting in a blind is it usually gives you more time for [field judging](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-pronghorn-antelope-2/). ### Spot-and-stalk archery antelope hunting is difficult. Get ready to get your butt kicked if you want to try spot-and-stalk hunting for antelope with your bow. It’s not impossible by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s hard. If the terrain isn’t right, forget it. But if you have stalkable cover, it can be a ton of fun. Take your time, and listen to your guide is our best advice. ### Using decoys for archery antelope hunting is awesome…when it works. Decoying antelope does work…but it isn’t foolproof. I like to have a decoy on hunts to use as a last resort when nothing else is working, because they are not reliable at all. That said though, when a buck comes screaming in to a decoy, it’s an incredible experience! ## Book Your Hunt ### Are you ready to go archery antelope hunting?

Alligator](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-field-judge-an-alligator/) **Published:** September 30, 2021 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Learn how to field judge an alligator. It's fairly simple if you know how. **Content:** If you’re wondering how to field judge an alligator, you’re not alone. It’s fairly simple if you know how, but be warned, there is a bit of math involved. ### Learning how to field judge an alligator is all about their eyes. 1. Locate the the midpoint between the eyes on the skull of an alligator. 2. Estimate, in inches, the distance from the midpoint between the eyes to the midpoint between the nostrils. 3. Record this number. 4. Convert the number of inches to feet with 1 inch equaling 1 foot. \*EXAMPLE: Let’s say the distance from the midpoint between the eyes to the midpoint between the nostrils is 4 inches. The estimated length of that gator is four feet. Are you wondering where the [best places to go alligator hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/best-places-to-go-alligator-hunting/) are?

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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

**Excerpt:** With so many choices it can be hard to ow to hunt black bears. Do you want to spot-and-stalk? Hunt with hounds? Over bait? We'll help break it down. **Content:** When you’re starting to research how to hunt black bears, probably the first thing to figure out is if you want to hunt in the spring or in the fall. Then it’s time to narrow it down where you hunt based on when you want to hunt. You have to hunt where the biggest bears live. - **Spring [black bear hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/) tend to be the most popular.** This is probably because there isn’t much else to hunt that time of the year besides wild turkeys. Another great thing about bear hunting in the spring is that the [bears are just coming out of hibernation](https://outdoors-international.com/where-to-find-black-bears-in-the-spring/) and are easy to find as they graze in open meadows. - **Fall hunts can be a blast though, so don’t disregard them.** Often you can combo with other species such as mule deer, elk, or even moose if you’re hunting in Canada or Alaska. Boars also [tend to be larger](https://outdoors-international.com/biggest-black-bears/) in the fall as they are preparing for winter. ## Hunting Black Bears Over Bait ![Bears hitting the bait](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/e44ce7be0c4fda3672e922d998bb5b0e-e1613410216421-1200x1062.jpeg "» Outdoors International") By far, the most common way to hunt black bears is over bait. Hunting for [bears over bait](https://outdoors-international.com/booking-a-baited-bear-hunt/) can be a lot of fun because of the amount of activity you will have, IF you’re with the right outfitter in a good area. Before you choose who you will be hunting with, so be sure to [get in touch with us](#more-information) so we can make sure that you’re booking with a quality outfitter. \*While baiting is mostly a black bear affair, we do offer a great [baited brown bear hunt in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-hunting/) as well. Here’s a good [gear list for a spring bear hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/spring-bear-hunting-gear-list/). ### Spring hunts over bait allow you to hunt the black bear rut. Black bears breed from mid May into early June. The rut is a great time to hunt big, mature males as they roam looking for a sow in heat. The best way to hunt big rutting males is over a bait. On these hunts, being proficient at [field judging black bears](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-black-bears/) is extremely important! ### Beware of a cheap baited hunt! Where outfitters save money on these hunts, it’s usually in baiting. It takes a lot of man hours, fuel and bait costs to run a good bait for weeks before you ever show up. On a cheap hunt that is where the money is saved to get you your “deal.” This is where you will need to [remind yourself that you get what you pay for](https://outdoors-international.com/booking-a-baited-bear-hunt/). ### We have good baited bear hunts in the following areas: - - [Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-hunting/) - [Alberta](https://outdoors-international.com/alberta-black-bear-hunt/) - [Arizona White Mountain Apache Reservation](https://outdoors-international.com/arizona-bear-hunts/) - [Idaho](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-bear-hunts/) - [Saskatchewan](https://outdoors-international.com/saskatchewan-bear-hunts/) - [New Brunswick](https://outdoors-international.com/new-brunswick-black-bear-hunting/) [ Request Pricing and Availability ](#more-information) \*For you DIY hunters, here’s a good article to [learn how to bait black bears](https://outdoors-international.com/bear-baiting-tip/) yourself. ## Spot-and-Stalk Bear Hunting ![Glassing is how to hunt black bears for many hunters in the West.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Braiden-Glauner-Black-Bear-idaho-14-1024x601.jpg "» Outdoors International") To stalk a bear takes time, patience and skill. [You must play the wind](https://outdoors-international.com/black-bear-of-a-lifetime/), as black bears have a notoriously keen sense of smell, and they hear well as well. You may fool their sight, but it’s tough to get close, especially if you’re hunting with a bow. Having [the right gear](https://outdoors-international.com/spring-bear-hunting-gear-list/) is very important on a spot and stalk hunt. ### Hunt the food sources. Notorious for loving berries, wild flowers, plant roots, clovers and wild onions. 75% of their diet is vegetation. However, round out their diet with insects, fish, small mammals and carcasses of dead animals. They are also fond of preying on moose and elk calves. Start by getting up high but below the snow line and looking for the greenest areas you can find. Bears will seek out the greenest tallest grasses to fill their bellies. They seek out areas such as creek bottoms and south facing slopes to find new growth. ### Consider a coastal black bear hunt. A very cool way to hunt bears is from a vessel in British Columbia or Alaska, cruising the coastal shorelines and glassing the tidal flats produce plenty of stalking opportunities. You’ll usually be hunting *big salmon-fed bears* just coming out of hibernation in areas with high bear populations. Large boars with perfect hides are the norm. A bonus on these vessel-based hunts is that you can combo for [waterfowl](https://outdoors-international.com/wingshooting/waterfowl/), [blacktail deer](https://outdoors-international.com/sitka-blacktail-deer/), and/or a cast-and-blast trip if you’d like to do some [fishing](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing-trips/). These hunts are very limited, so [contact us](#more-information) as soon as possible if you’re interested. ### If you’re serious about learning how to hunt black bears, we have some amazing spot-and-stalk bear hunting opportunities: - [Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/black-bear-hunts-in-alaska/) - Arizona - [British Columbia](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-black-bear-hunt/) - [Idaho](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-bear-hunts/) - [Montana](https://outdoors-international.com/montana-black-bear-hunting/) - [Washington](https://outdoors-international.com/washington-bear-hunts/) - Wyoming [ Request Pricing and Availability ](#more-information) ## Hound Hunting ![Let's go hunting boss!](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Idaho-Mountain-Lion-DH2-13-scaled-1024x498.jpg "» Outdoors International") ### There’s nothing quite like the sound of dogs baying to fire up your hunting instincts. Once you “strike” a bear or a mountain lion, the chase is on and it’s usually non-stop action from there. The hounds, alongside a truly skilled houndsman, will make for an experience you will never forget. If you are an adrenalin loving hunter, a hound hunt for you! It’s also an interesting way to learn how to hunt black bears. You get a lot of interaction with the [bears on a hound hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/arizona-bear-hunts/). ### We work with some great outfitters who offer black bear hunting with dogs: - [Idaho](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-bear-hunts/) - [Arizona](https://outdoors-international.com/arizona-bear-hunts/) - [British Columbia](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-black-bear-hunt/) [ Request Pricing and Availability ](#more-information) ## Predator Calling ![Predator calling for black bears can be incredibly effective!](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Total-Outdoor-Adventures-Black-Bear-5.jpg "» Outdoors International") When you’re calling black bears, use a jackrabbit/bear cub distress sound…being as “sorrowful” as possible.

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.

**Published:** February 19, 2022 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Black isn't the only color they come in. Color phase black bears range from black to chocolate, blonde and even cinnamon or grey color phases. **Content:** [Black bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/) aren’t always black?! By far the most common color IS black, and in most areas, that’s virtually the only color you’ll find. However, color phase black bears range widely from jet black to chocolate, blonde and even cinnamon or grey color phases. So, if you’re after a color phase black bears, [you need to go bear hunting in the right area](https://outdoors-international.com/biggest-black-bears/). Once you decide on where to go, you need to figure out [how you want to hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-hunt-black-bears/). ## Color phase black bears are more common in the western US and Canada. Bears that are not the more common black variation makeup only 45% of the total bear population across western North America. Interestingly though, most are black again once you reach [Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/black-bear-hunts-in-alaska/). ![This Saskatchewan Hunting Lodge truly offers you a chance at a record book bear!](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Saskatchewn-Black-Bear-LLO2.jpg "Saskatchewn-Black-Bear-LLO2 » Outdoors International") ### Black is the most common color phase. The black phase is the most common, especially in Eastern United States, Canada, the Pacific coasts of [Washington](https://outdoors-international.com/washington-bear-hunts/), Oregon and most of Alaska. According to the [American Bear Association](https://www.americanbear.org/) jet black is most common color in the eastern regions of the United States and Canada, thus European settlers named the species the “black bear”. ![Outdoors International client Michael Hickey with a giant Arizona black bear.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Michael-Hickey-AZ-Black-Bear-Hunt-Report-e1701263835257-1020x950.jpeg "Michael Hickey Client Arizona Black BEar MMRR » Outdoors International") ### Brown bears are the second-most common color phase. They range from deep chocolate to a reddish tint often referred to as “cinnamon”. These are the most common bears of the Rocky Mountain States and Western Provinces. [Idaho](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-bear-hunts/) in particular is home to many chocolate phase bears. ![Beautiful blonde bear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Jace-Myers-Client-Idaho-Black-Bear-WMO-wilderness-mule-outfitters-1.jpg "Jace Myers Client Idaho Black Bear WMO Blonde Color Phase » Outdoors International") ### Blonde colored bears are the least common of the color phases. As a general rule, the farther west you go, the more blondes you will have. They are never common. The rare bluish-gray color phase, “Glacier bear” is found in Alaska, and the all-white “Kermode bear” occurs on several islands in [coastal British Columbia](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-black-bear-hunt/).

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

However, [targeting mature boars](https://outdoors-international.com/cory-arrows-an-ancient-idaho-bruin/), knowing [what a trophy bear looks like](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-black-bears/), and having them come to the bait during the day is a totally different thing. Then there’s the matter of getting an arrow into one. [Hunting big black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/) [boars over bait](https://outdoors-international.com/booking-a-baited-bear-hunt/) is NOT an easy undertaking. ## Black Bear Hunting Tips 1. Get off the beaten path, away from the crowds. 2. Locate your bait **in the bottoms**, where the wind is more reliable. Fill the canyon with the smell of your bait. 3. Bears have similar taste in food to us. They don’t like stinky rotten food, although that will attract them. [Bait with something yummy and sweeten it up](https://outdoors-international.com/bear-baiting-tip/). 4. Put out enough bait to last for 2 to 3 weeks. 5. Don’t visit your bait to check it or refill it until you are ready to hunt. 6. Pour grease on the ground so they walk in it and leave trails back to the food. 7. Be VERY careful when you decide to hunt it. Get the wind right, and sneak in. Try to hunt all day as long as the wind allows for it. 8. Know what a big bear looks like.

Points](https://outdoors-international.com/wyoming-preference-points/) **Published:** May 3, 2022 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Apply for Wyoming Preference Points. 75% of the premier hunting tags in Wyoming go to those with the most Preference Points. If you want a quality Wyoming hunt, start building your points. **Content:** The Wyoming preference points system is designed to improve an applicant’s odds of eventually drawing a tag. ## How to Apply for Wyoming Preference Points ### You can **[apply for Wyoming Preference Points](https://wgfd.wyo.gov/apply-or-buy)** for future Wyoming big game hunts July through October 31. A whopping 75% of the premier licenses in Wyoming go to those with the most Preference Points. **If you want a quality Wyoming hunt, start building your points this year!** The Wyoming Preference Point system began in 2006 for [elk](https://outdoors-international.com/wyoming-elk-hunting/), [mule deer](https://outdoors-international.com/mule-deer-hunting-in-wyoming/), [whitetail deer](https://outdoors-international.com/wyoming-whitetail-deer-hunts/), and [antelope](https://outdoors-international.com/wyoming-antelope-hunts/). A point system for sheep and [Shiras moose](https://outdoors-international.com/montana-moose-hunting/) has been in place a bit longer. ### Don’t Forget to Purchase Preference Points! - If you already applied for [sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/wyoming-sheep-hunting/) or [Shiras moose](https://outdoors-international.com/shiras-moose-hunts/), you were required to purchase a preference point and don’t need to do so now. - If you applied for elk, mule deer, [whitetail deer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/whitetail-deer/), or antelope earlier this year, you had the option to apply for a preference point. You can’t apply for an additional preference point now if you took this option. - You can fail to apply for a license or fail to purchase a Preference Point for one year without losing accumulated Preference Points. However, **if you fail to properly apply for a license or purchase Points for two consecutive years, your accumulated Preference Points will be deleted.** - To maintain preference points, don’t apply for an easy-to-draw units as a 1st choice. - If you want to hunt more often without losing points, apply for hard-to-draw units as 1st choice and easy-to-draw units as your 2nd choice. - If you have a child that wants to hunt, be sure to start building their preference points as soon as they are old enough. ### Helpful links: - [**Did you know that we can do all of your State Applications for you?!**](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-application-service/) - Apply online at the [WGFD website](http://wgfd.wyo.gov/). - View your Wyoming preference points [here](https://wgfapps.wyo.gov/elsapplication/ELSSportsmanLoginSSN.aspx "View your wyoming preference points"). - How to [get guaranteed tags in hard-to-draw-units](https://outdoors-international.com/drawing-tags-vs-guaranteed-tags/).

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

**Excerpt:** Of the six subspecies of elk in North America, the three with hunt-able populations classified by B&C are American elk, roosevelt elk & tule elk. **Content:** There are at least six subspecies of elk according to biologist Olaus Murie, who studied them extensively over his lifetime. Of the six subspecies of elk in North America, there are [three subspecies of elk with hunt-able populations](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/elk/ "Elk hunting guides and outfitters") classified by the [Boone and Crockett club](http://www.boone-crockett.org/ "Boone and Crockett"). The American elk, the Roosevelt elk and the Tule elk. ## Eastern Elk ### The Eastern (*Cervus canadensis canadensis)* was the first subspecies of elk discovered by white men in North America. This elk was defined in simple terms as “all elk East of the Rocky Mountains”. This definition no longer holds true as Rocky Mountain Elk or what is now called the American Elk have been transplanted to several states East of the Rocky Mountains, including Arkansas, Kentucky, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. These states have small [elk herds and allow elk hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/elk/) on a limited basis. ![Your elk hunting success will depend on making the right choices before your elk hunt. We can help you find elk hunting success.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/elk-bugling.jpeg "Elk Bugle Live » Outdoors International")The Rocky Mountain Elk is by far the most widely distributed subspecies of elk.## American AKA Rocky Mountain Elk ### The most widespread species is the Rocky Mountain elk *(Cervus canadensis nelsoni)* or what many now call the American elk. The American Elk live west of the Mississippi River. A bull American [elk can weigh 800 pounds or more while a cow](https://outdoors-international.com/cow-elk-hunt/) typically weighs 450 to 500 pounds. The largest herds of American elk lives in [Colorado](https://outdoors-international.com/colorado-elk-hunting/) which has over 300,000 animals in it, but arguably the [best elk hunting can be found in Arizona](https://outdoors-international.com/elk-hunting-in-arizona/). If you can draw a tag. #### Our Rocky Mountain Elk Hunts: - [Alberta Elk Hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/alberta-elk-hunting/) - [Arizona Elk Hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/elk-hunting-in-arizona/) - [Colorado Elk Hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/colorado-elk-hunting/) - [Idaho Elk Hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-elk-hunting/) - [Montana Elk Hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/montana-elk-hunting-trips/) - [New Mexico Elk Hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/new-mexico-trophy-elk-hunts/) - [Utah Elk Hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/utah-elk-hunting/) - [Wyoming Elk Hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/wyoming-elk-hunting/) ![Roosevelt Elk](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Roosevelt-Elk-Live.jpg "Roosevelt Elk Live » Outdoors International") ## Roosevelt Elk ### The Roosevelt Elk *(Cervus canadensis roosevelti)* is the largest bodied of all of the subspecies of elk. A mature bull can weigh up to 1,000 pounds where a mature cow can weigh up to 600 pounds. [Roosevelt elk](https://outdoors-international.com/roosevelt-elk-hunting/) are found in Oregon and [Washington](https://outdoors-international.com/washington-roosevelt-elk-hunting/) but some inhabit northern California and [British Columbia](https://outdoors-international.com/roosevelt-elk-hunting-british-columbia/). The Roosevelt Elk is darker than the American elk and some say they are the toughest species to hunt because they often don’t bugle as much as American elk. The terrain they live in can be extremely rugged and wet because many of them inhabit the rainforest located in [Oregon](https://outdoors-international.com/roosevelt-elk-hunting-in-oregon/). ## Tule Elk ### The Tule Elk *(Cervus nannodes)* can only be found in parts of central California. Smaller in size that the other species, an adult bull tips the scales at 600 pounds or less while a cow typically weighs 300 to 350 pounds. The Tule Elk thrive in the moderate Mediterranean climate and subsequent vegetation type in its native range. ## Manitoban Elk ### This subspecies of elk *(Cervus canadensis manitobensis)* lives in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Sometimes, Manitoban elk wander across the border into the Great Lakes States. Compared to the American Elk, it is larger in body size but has smaller antlers. This subspecies of elk was driven to near extinction in the early 1900’s, but has since recovered. ## Merriam Elk ### The Merriam elk *(Cervus canadensis merriami)* is sadly, now extinct. This subspecies of elk once lived in the Southwest United States. Mainly [Arizona](https://outdoors-international.com/top-rated-elk-hunts/) and New Mexico.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Rut](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-during-the-black-bear-rut/) **Published:** June 9, 2022 **Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** Arguably, the best time to [hunt black bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/) is a magical few weeks in the spring between May and early June, during the black bear rut. ## Hunting During the Black Bear Rut - There is heavy competition for sows, and boars will travel widely in search of sows in heat. - They mark areas they travel, urine [spotting along travel corridors and bear](https://outdoors-international.com/russ-meyer-bear-hunting-tips/) trails as they go. Boars utilize rub/marking trees. These can be communal. - Boars will leave bite marks, oftentimes trees are bit off at standing head height, or pulled over their shoulder and broke off at standing height to display dominance and size/stature. - They will stand up rubbing their backs leaving fur on these marking trees. - Additionally, boars will straddle and walk over the top of small coniferous and deciduous saplings and shrubs etc. leaving scent. Many of these small trees will be readily identifiable, as they will be broken clean off down low sporting broken branches, and upon inspection, have visible urine staining. ### Although this black bear rut behavior is not often displayed or encountered at a bait site, watch for it. **SPEND A LOT OF TIME AT YOUR BAIT because a boar may only visit it once in search of sows**. When he does, you need to know how to tell if he’s a good one, so learn [how to field judge black bears](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-black-bears/).

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.

Tags](https://outdoors-international.com/over-the-counter-mountain-goat-tags/) **Published:** June 22, 2022 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** If you are looking to draw a tag and do it yourself, more power to you. But an easier route is to hunt where they  have over the counter mountain goat tags, or to go the guided hunt route. Canada and Alaska are the only place that has this option. **Content:** You have a limited number of [places you can hunt mountain goats](https://outdoors-international.com/where-to-hunt-mountain-goat/), and even fewer where you can hunt [trophy mountain goats](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-mountain-goats/) with great coats. So, even if you don’t care about getting a trophy class goat you are still faced with [playing the lottery](https://outdoors-international.com/oi-draw-program/) in the lower 48, or you’re paying a fairly substantial amount to go on a guided hunt in Canada or [Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-mountain-goat-hunt/). The good thing about Canada and Alaska though is that they have over the counter mountain goat tags. ![Tagging a mountain goat](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Tagging-Hunter-Mountain-Goat-hunting-Alaska-RE.jpeg "Tagging Hunter Mountain-Goat-hunting-Alaska-RE » Outdoors International") ## Over the Counter Mountain Goat Tags If you are looking to [draw a tag](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-draw-a-mountain-goat-tag/) and do it yourself, more power to you. But an easier route is to hunt where they have over-the-counter mountain goat tags, or to go the guided hunt route. Canada (we recommend [British Columbia](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-mountain-goat-hunt/)) and Alaska are the only place that has this option. ### Don’t want to deal with drawing a tag? One of the best ways to [find great outfitters](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/goats/mountain-goat/) and take a lot of the stress out of booking a great hunt is to [use our consulting service](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-application-service/). We spend tens of thousands of dollars and thousands of hours researching outfitters, vetting them, and making sure that when they book you on that [hunt of a lifetime](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-safaris-in-mozambique/) it will be just that.

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

applying. These are all things you have to consider for [mountain goat hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/goats/mountain-goat/), because each and every piece of information and decision you make will determine how long it may take to draw, how much time, effort and money you will expend if you do draw. But, this is just trying to [figure out where to appl](https://outdoors-international.com/where-to-hunt-mountain-goat/)y, it may be years and years before you draw a coveted tag, what then? ## How to Draw a Mountain Goat Tag 1. First you have to decide if you just want to draw any old tag, or if you want to have a chance at a mature billy, let alone an area that may have trophy goats. 2. Then you have to start researching states to figure out how much it’s going to cost you to play the draws, what the draw odds are for the different hunts, what the trophy potential is of the different hunts, what is the terrain like in a given area, what logistics will be required if you draw a tag, how far in is the hunt area, and on and on… 3. Finally, is all of the hassle worth it? There are a few places that offer trophy, [over the counter mountain goat tags](https://outdoors-international.com/over-the-counter-mountain-goat-tags/). 4. **[We can help you with an application strategy.](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-application-service/)** ### Once you draw your tag, get in touch with us quickly! If you do end up getting lucky enough to draw a mountain goat tag, be sure to **[contact us for the best outfitters](https://outdoors-international.com/contact-us/)**, but that’s getting harder every year. Luckily, we have over-the-counter tags available in [Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-mountain-goat-hunt/) and [British Columbia](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-mountain-goat-hunt/), Canada with some great guides. ### Hiring an outfitter is an option that should be considered…whether you drew a tag or not. This can be just as overwhelming and nerve wracking as trying to do it on your own. You’re trading out some risks (like logistics, scouting, talking to biologists, etc) for other risks…mainly spending a good amount of your hard earned money to possibly end up on a hunt that doesn’t live up to expectations, or worse yet, that just flat sucks. So instead of having to research hunt units, [draw odds,](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-increase-your-new-mexico-nonresident-elk-draw-odds/) etc, you will need to research outfitters. What kind of animals are they taking, what style of hunts do they provide (horseback, backpack, vessel based). What kind of accommodations (lodge, boat, cabins, tent, spike tent), what time of year do they hunt, what is the total [cost of the hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/how-much-does-an-african-hunting-safari-cost/), what is included, what isn’t included. ## Are you interested in booking a hunt? ### You can make it easier by using our service. Did you know our service is free to you? One of the best ways to find great outfitters and take a lot of the stress out of booking a great [hunt is to use our consulting service](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-application-service/). We spend tens of thousands of dollars and thousands of hours researching outfitters, vetting them, and making sure that when they book you on that hunt of a lifetime it will be just that.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Deer](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-whitetail-deer/) **Published:** June 29, 2022 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Here's a rough breakdown on field judging whitetail deer on the hoof (assuming you're after a record book buck). **Content:** If you want to take a big buck, you need to know how to tell if a buck really is as big as you think. Here’s a rough breakdown on field judging whitetail deer on the hoof (assuming you’re after a record book buck). 1. **Look for 10 points or more.** Not one buck in the top 300 B&C has fewer than ten points. A ten pointer almost always makes Pope and Young. 2. **Tine length.** The length of each tine needs to be at least the length of the bucks ear. 3. **Body size can trick you.** A big bodied deer can sometimes look like it has a small rack…and vice versa. Deer tend to be bigger as you go north. 4. **Look at the main beam.** A giant bucks main beam extends to near, or even past the end of the nose. 5. **Mass adds up.** 6. **Inside spread.** A buck only needs to be a little outside the ears (on alert). More, of course, is better. ### A whitetail deer is scored by adding up the following measurements, rounded to the nearest 1/8 of an inch: 1. Greatest inside spread. 2. Length of main beam on left side. 3. Length of main beam on right side. 4. Each individual tine length. 5. Four mass measurements per main beam.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

Lion Hunting Gear List](https://outdoors-international.com/mountain-lion-hunting-gear-list-2/) **Published:** February 14, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** The weather on a mountain lion hunt can range widely from rain, sleet, snow and wind to warm and sunny. Packing accordingly can be a challenge, so a good layering system is the way to go. **Content:** Whether you’re [hunting mountain lions](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/mountain-lion/) in [Colorado](https://outdoors-international.com/colorado-mountain-lion-hunting/), [Idaho](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-mountain-lion-hunting/), [Wyoming](https://outdoors-international.com/wyoming-mountain-lion-hunt/) or anywhere else, your gear will be pretty much the same. The weather on a mountain lion hunt can range widely from rain, sleet, snow and wind to warm and sunny so packing accordingly can be a challenge. A good layering system is the way to go. If you’re [hunting mountain lions](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/mountain-lion/) on dry ground your gear will be different. The weather will probably be warm as this is typically an Arizona thing. Also, you will probably be riding horses, so dress accordingly, but be prepared for a cold front to move in, or rain. ## Clothing and Apparel ❏ Underwear (1 pair per day) ❏ Base Layer Top and Bottom (2 – 3 pairs per week) \*we suggest merino wool ❏ Lightweight Camo Jacket![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=8cc7fa8496b9c5ce92251d4d9be4d3dc&_cb=1549722548638) ❏ Windstopper Camo Jacket ❏ Midweight Camo Jacket ❏ Lightweight Camo Vest ❏ Lightweight Camo Shirt (3 – 5 per week) ❏ Lightweight Camo Pants (1-2 pair per week) ❏ Midweight Camo Pants (1 pair per week) ❏ Rain Gear![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=f9a21a2bc90b68dd8b004a51a6fbcb6e&_cb=1549722561995) ❏ Blaze Orange (rifle hunts) \*check Regulations in the state you are hunting ❏ Lightweight Gloves ❏ Midweight Gloves ❏ Camo Cap![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=d57d19b9dd9a2030403d919b5ed00bf9&_cb=1549722589061) ❏ Camo Stocking Cap or Camo Beanie ❏ Heavy Shirt ❏ Cold Weather Pants ❏ Insulated Parka (with hood) ❏ Insulated Bibs ❏ Balaclava and/or Neck Gaiter ❏ Wool Gloves![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=4dcbf1cd16c3081a68e92b84e2713379&_cb=1549722364977) ❏ Insulated Waterproof Gloves![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=26f634c315b4d7137ee17f40282097fe&_cb=1549722610186) ❏ Hand Muff ❏ Gaiters![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=42f454a508bcfdd0c1c5c5850585fe0a&_cb=1549722622381) ❏ Hand Warmer Packets ## Hunting Gear ❏ Binoculars ❏ Bino Harness ❏ Backpack ❏ Spotting Scope – The case could be made that you don’t really need a spotting scope, or even binoculars for that matter, on a mountain lion hunt, and I would have to agree….technically speaking. But you will usually be hunting winter range and it sure is nice to get a close up look at that big bull on the opposite ridge. ## Rifle Hunts ❏ Rifle – Mountain lions don’t require a large caliber. Shot placement is the most important factor to consider. ❏ Shells (at least one box) ❏ Scope (with rain cover) ❏ Rifle Sling![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=bf45753a0e2b8877e15d371c45adf783&_cb=1549722669500) ❏ Soft Rifle Case ❏ Hard Rifle Case ❏ Gun Cleaning Kit![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=1256d6ce2bb4b9ed08925b5d0e783350&_cb=1549722653565) ## Bowhunting ❏ Bow – Check the Regulations in the state you are hunting. ❏ Arrows (At least one doz.) ❏ Broadheads![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=1b8614989d7b4d2f2dac6575e82fd01d&_cb=1549722642364) – Check the Regulations in the state you are hunting. ❏ Release![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=6c3f106206a3350bcb39cc75162192fb&_cb=1549722633604) (An extra release is recommended.) ❏ Soft Bow Case ❏ Hard Bow Case ## Personal and Misc. Items ❏ Lip Balm ❏ Towel ❏ Insect Repellent ❏ Sunscreen ❏ Moleskin for blisters ❏ Super Glue ❏ Prescription Medication ❏ WD-40 ❏ Duct Tape ❏ Pain Reliever ❏ Extra Glasses and/or Contacts ❏ Quality Polarized Sunglasses ❏ Personal Toiletries ❏ Camera ❏ Video Camera and/or GoPro ❏ Extra Batteries for all Electronics \*This is a sample/generic gear list. For more specific details for the time of year you are traveling to, we recommend checking with your outfitter, consultant or your destination’s local Wildlife Management Agency. ### Be Sure to Remember These Items on Your Mountain Lion Hunt: - Hunting license and mountain lion tag. - Conservation Stamp (if needed). - Many states require Hunters Safety certificates. - Gun Permits etc. - I.D. - Airline ticket and Itinerary - [Passport](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-obtain-a-passport/) (if needed) - Outfitter contact information **We strongly recommend you consider purchasing a [trip insurance](https://outdoors-international.com/10-reasons-for-travel-insurance/) policy, as most outfitters do not offer refunds for any reason.** If some unforeseen problem pops up and you are unable to make your trip, you won’t lose all of your hard earned money. Trip insurance also protects you from damage or loss to your equipment and provides medical benefits and emergency evacuation coverage during your trip. ### Packing Tips: - Use your day pack for all of your carry-on items if you are flying. - Pack an extra set of casual clothing with you in your hard case under the foam lining. - Pack your sleeping bag in a compression sack![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=4a420be0f3a2604030f01d06971bc755&_cb=1568739192971) to conserve space. - Most people pack WAY too much. For most guided trips, all of your gear should be able to fit in one duffel bag weighing less than 80 lbs. \*Not including your sleeping bag. ### Practice Your Shooting: One of the most important factors to a successful hunt is your ability to shoot well. Start preparing for your hunt well in advance by sighting in your rifle or bow carefully. Make sure you practice from all possible shooting positions, and [shoot A LOT out to distances that stretch your abilities](https://outdoors-international.com/long-range-shooting-course-fundamentals/). That will make those close shots easy. On a mountain lion hunt, you’ll probably be shooting almost straight up. Figure out a way to practice that. ### Notes: To ensure your are prepared for weather conditions for your upcoming adventure, we recommend checking [www.weather.com](http://www.weather.com/) and/or [www.accuweather.com](http://www.accuweather.com/) immediately prior to your departure.

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

Bear - OI Podcast with Clay Owens](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-call-in-a-black-bear/) **Published:** March 12, 2022 **Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** Clay Owens and [Cory

This [podcast](https://outdoors-international.com/oi-podcast/) is only a few minutes long, but if you’ve ever wondered how to call in a black bear, here’s your answer. ## How to Call in a Black Bear with Clay Owens [https://traffic.libsyn.com/outdoorsinternational/How\_to\_Call\_Black\_Bears\_with\_Clay\_Owens.mp3](https://traffic.libsyn.com/outdoorsinternational/How_to_Call_Black_Bears_with_Clay_Owens.mp3) ## Bears will come into a predator call! ### It’s really pretty simple…much like calling coyotes and other predators. - When you’re calling [black bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/), use a jackrabbit/bear cub distress sound…being as “sorrowful” as possible. - Call loudly and don’t let up for 20 up to 40 minutes. - Seeing bears before you begin to call always ups your odds of success.

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.

Bears](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-black-bears/) **Published:** March 12, 2022 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Field judging Black Bears can be a tricky proposition. Add in identifying and sorting boars from the sows, and it can at times put your mind into overdrive. **Content:** Field judging black bears is notoriously difficult. They might just be one of the most difficult species to judge. Not only can it be hard to tell a big one from a little one, but sows and boars look very similar…and sows can get big! If you’ve ever put yourself in a fast decision, quick draw scenario, then you know what it’s like to sit at a high stakes [black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/) gambling table. But, with a bit of pre-game day know-how and the help of a few tricks, those all too commonly experienced ground shrinkage issues should be no problem to steer clear of. ## Field Judging Black Bears 1. Hunt an area that consistently produces big boars 2. Learn how to know the difference between a sow and a boar 3. Look for a stout neck and a wide head with “small” ears on the sides 4. Look at the size of the body 5. Watch how they move 6. Compare them with the bait barrel 7. [Watch for rutting activity](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-during-the-black-bear-rut/) ## Hunt an area that consistently produces big boars. ### Big bears are very particular about where they live. If you’re not hunting in those areas, you won’t kill a mature boar. It is the giant super intellectual, predatory boars that keep every hunter daydreaming, and these old un-hunted crankers are our objective and goal. While these specific bears are choosy about a lot of things, much the same as any other big old age class animal, they are firstly [very particular about where they live](https://outdoors-international.com/biggest-black-bears/). ### These giant boars will hold and defend prime areas. If you are not in an area that has big bear, and focusses calculated strike effort specifically at them, you may as well have stayed home. ![If a bear has cubs with it or you can see nipples, it's a sow.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Sow-black-bear-with-cubs-1200x675.jpg "» Outdoors International") ## How to tell the difference between a sow and a boar. The first thing when your field judging black bears is to determine whether it’s a sow or boar. At times this is exceedingly easy when it’s a mature boar, but it can sometimes be difficult to tell difference between a battle hardened old sow and a big boar. Age catches up to us all. Until boars start approaching adult weights at 7-9 years old, it can be very tough to tell them from sows. When you hunt with an outfitter that targets [large, age class boars](https://outdoors-international.com/russ-meyer-bear-hunting-tips/), and discourages shooting sows will tip the odds in your favor. This management ideology just makes sense. After all, sows are crucial to population dynamics, they are the best big boar bait available. ### If a bear has cubs with it, it’s a sow. In every case where you see a larger sized bear with one or more quite notably smaller and obviously dependent bears, the larger bear is guaranteed to be a sow. However, many sows will have young of the year that they won’t [bring with them into a bait site](https://outdoors-international.com/booking-a-baited-bear-hunt/). They’ll stash their cubs in a tree before coming into the bait. Given any opportunity will kill cubs, a mature boar will kill and eat her cubs, so as to bring a sow into estrus cycle. ### A dead ringer with sows is the visible presence of nipples. On wet (nursing) sows with young, the cubs pull out hair around the nipples which can profile them, making them visible, even from broadside, and this can be especially evident on older, larger sows. A good outfitter will set up the bait to give you “angle views” that can really help in obtaining this visual. ![A mature boar’s head is quite wide, and will have a thicker, stouter neck.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/black-bear.jpg "black-bear live » Outdoors International") ## Look at the head. ### Female black bears have broad heads and narrow muzzles. Females’ faces are slender and more pointed than males. The smaller the ears look and the farther apart they seem, the better the bear. If you can envision an imaginary upside down triangle on the bear’s head going down to its nose, and all sides are equal, then it’s a mature bear. ### A mature boar’s head is quite wide, and will have a thicker, stouter neck. Boars with some years under their belt will always appear to have smaller ears that are off more to the side of the head than up top. They can show a quite distinct center line crease that runs down their forehead from between their ears. This muscle structure can be quite predominate and noticeable on some big boars. ### The smaller the ears look and the farther apart they seem, the better the bear. If you can envision an imaginary upside down triangle on the bear’s head going down to its nose, and all sides are equal, then it’s a mature bear. A young bear’s head will look big and its ears will look huge and almost touch. Young bears also move at a quick pace and seem skittish and clumsy. ![You might be surprised where the biggest black bears live](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Giant-black-bear.jpg "» Outdoors International") ## Body Size ### Look at length of legs, chest size and how big the head is in comparison to the body. If his head and ears look small in comparison to his body he’s a giant. If his legs look thick top to bottom, that’s a good sign. A boar’s leg will look as big below the knee as above the knee. A sow’s legs will have a V shape from top to bottom. ### Mature boars will exhibit what appear to be blocky, low to the ground profiles. Watch for bears that are exceptionally wide across the brisket with heavy, wide set front legs. Watch for what appears to be shorter more evenly tipped hair. Big boars do not normally look shaggy with longer ratty looking coats as do younger bear, though belly hair will hang low pronouncing the big belly look. Magnum old sows can exhibit these same profile traits though, so nothing is static. All of these confirmation dynamics are affected by genetics and range factors, and black bears are diverse creatures with individual traits, similar to people in that way. ### There is nearly no mistaking a big boars, how they move and how they conduct themselves, especially when around other bears. Big is big. Nearly anyone can identify a true giant boar. They will rule every roost they roll into. Other bears will openly display caution and fear when they make an appearance at the party. Yes they look just like that discovery channel monster on TV. Really big bears will have a crease down the center of their forehead, and often scars on their faces. A giant boar can also appear so big it looks like he’s dragging his belly when he moves. ### If the neck looks almost as big in front of the shoulder as his body does behind the shoulder, [he’s a shooter](https://outdoors-international.com/russ-meyer-bear-hunting-tips/). That said however, it’s an entirely different issue with a medium to large bear. Field judging black bears of this caliber becomes difficult. Even younger, smaller framed bear often look like they belong in this class without the strong utilization of visual sizing aids. ## Big bears move like they are big. ### Large bears also move slowly, swaying side to side with a big belly and an air of confidence about them. They can display indecisiveness, but all animals including people take pause when thinking and processing info, however, they will not be the bear that gets jumpy at every sound out there. If a bear comes in and has all other bears clear and undivided attention, promoting rapid submission or displays of fear, it will be a boar. ### The body language of a non-submissive large male in any specie is a rapid telltale of dominance, and such intolerant mannerism is as well the case with dominant big boars. If you see ripped up ears and/or heavy facial fight scarring on a big bear, do not waste any more time looking, it is show time. If you see a larger profile bear moving and trailing a smaller bear into the bait site, take the time to be sure, but it is virtually guaranteed to be a boar following a hot sow in. ![The bait barrel was about 45 yards from us and when the bear arrived at the barrel, I saw that he was as large as the barrel on all fours.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/61B2B75D-CC6A-41E6-B128-B3F39033F153-1270x953.jpeg "Black Bear Saskatchewan Bait Barrel Live LLO2 » Outdoors International") ## A great method for field judging black bears is to compare them to the bait barrel. ### If a bear is as tall as a barrel standing on its end, shoot! Bait barrels are a great tool to use in size determination. In addition, it really helps to cut logs at each bait site that are 5 feet in length. If a bear meets/exceeds the length of these on the ground, it will likely be a shooter. To aide in sex identification, strategically placed tree mounted “candy” jars provide a standing, unobstructed belly view. ### Hopefully this overview can help a bit with this notorious subject of field judging black bears. Big black bears can be a challenge to successfully square off with, but so long as moves are calculated, one nearly cannot go wrong. The hope is for giant net book 21 inch boars to be the first bear to walk in on everyone out there, but until that happens, keep looking those bear over and have fun! ## Are you interested in booking a bear hunt?

calling.](https://outdoors-international.com/learn-to-call-coyotes/) **Published:** February 8, 2022 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Predator hunting during the off-season is great fun and no other type of hunting quite compares! Here is a listing of vetted outfitters. **Content:** As winter sets in and you are sitting in the house, don’t succumb to the boredom of the season. Grab your rifle and get out and do some predator calling! Coyote calling has become one of the fastest growing segments in the hunting world and you can get out and do it for very little money. ## Predator Calling ### No matter where you live, odds are you there are coyotes, foxes, bobcats or [wolves to hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/wolf/)…did you know that [javelinas](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/pigs/javelina/) will come in to a predator call? ## Learn to Call Coyotes by Clay Owens [https://traffic.libsyn.com/outdoorsinternational/Podcast\_-\_How\_to\_call\_coyotes.mp3](https://traffic.libsyn.com/outdoorsinternational/Podcast_-_How_to_call_coyotes.mp3)- Chances are you have a small caliber rifle that needs some action….I prefer a 22-250 but any good high speed small caliber will do the trick. - The call market is flooded with all kinds of electronic gadgetry and those calls are awesome. I recommend some of the Foxpro options. They offer top quality sounds, excellent calls, as well as great customer service. If you want to spend some extra cash it will shorten up the learning curve for perfecting distress and vocalization sounds. However, for $20 bucks or less get your hands on a good closed reed hand call and go out and have fun calling in some fur. There is something more rewarding in calling them in with a mouth blown call. - The benefit of predator management of your [big game hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/) area are why some guys do it, but I do it because it is fun! - There is nothing like tricking a bunch of coyotes into gun range to get the blood pumping. You don’t need to be fancy with your calls….you just need to get out do it!

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won!

Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH’s and their awesome staff. I made some new friends and will be back to Africa again 100%. **Brye Mangum** / OI Draw Winner ![Impala](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Dason-Lasiter-Client-South-Africa-Plains-Game-Hunt-Winner-DWHS-Archery-impala.jpg "Dason Lasiter Client South Africa Plains Game Hunt Winner DWHS Archery impala » Outdoors International") ### My most memorable and rewarding experience. This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

List and Preparation Tips](https://outdoors-international.com/antelope-hunting-gear-list/) **Published:** February 13, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Everything you need to know to be prepared for your upcoming hunt including an antelope hunting gear list, tips, and more. **Content:** Your typical archery [antelope](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/pronghorn/) hunt is in late August through September from a blind on a waterhole. The hotter and drier the weather, the better. If you are doing a spot-and-stalk antelope hunt, this antelope hunting gear list would basically be the same, but DEFINITELY add knee pads! Also, just like any hunt, you can’t predict the weather and it is best to be prepared. Even though most antelope hunting is during the early season, we threw in the gloves, beanie, and lightweight jackets. However, if you are going on a late season antelope hunt, go check out the rest of our hunting clothing and add some cold weather gear. The clothes you take on your hunt can make or break it. Gone are the days of hunting in a flannel shirt and jeans. Modern hunting clothes are so much more effective, are more comfortable, more durable, and most of all, they’ll keep you safer. Be prepared. It’s pretty nice to have a spotting scope on an antelope hunt even if you’re in a blind, so you can size up that buck while he’s coming into the waterhole. Makes it easy to film your hunt with your phone as well if you mount a phone skope on it. ## Antelope Hunting Gear List ### Preparation and our suggestions for a pronghorn antelope hunting gear list. ❏ Underwear (1 pair per day) ❏ Base Layer Top![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=44b0ef4a887a1d2a91ae71179889bcda&_cb=1550341524624) and Bottom![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=3c925863ed8e53a4a9fe86cc73d35a67&_cb=1550341547378) (2 – 3 pairs per week) \*we suggest merino wool ❏ Lightweight Camo Jacket![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=9e45119e5ee8bf123b83fb1347c05b62&_cb=1550341567663) ❏ Windstopper Camo Jacket![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=a6f34fdb3ed7ac940e3c4f6bd2d4f10e&_cb=1550341639232) ❏ Midweight Camo Jacket![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=c0a1eb30a92df283b48aa59d6897f5e8&_cb=1550341662542) ❏ Lightweight Camo Vest ❏ Lightweight Camo Shirt (3 – 5 per week) ❏ Lightweight Camo Pants (1-2 pair per week) ❏ Midweight Camo Pants![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=386bed0b434ab446db5def76f0de4252&_cb=1550341685421) (1 pair per week) ❏ Rain Gear ❏ Blaze Orange (rifle hunts) \*check Regulations in the state you are hunting ❏ Lightweight Gloves ❏ Midweight Gloves ❏ Camo Cap ❏ Camo Stocking Cap or Camo Beanie ❏ Camo Headnet![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=1b77c71d2931cafded304d918427ad43&_cb=1550421512436) ❏ Lightweight Black Shirts (if you are in a blind) ❏ Lightweight Black Jacket (if you are in a blind) > ##### We think that no matter the type of hunt you are on, the optics choices pretty much stay the same.

For more specific details for the time of year you are traveling to, we recommend checking with your outfitter, consultant or your destination’s local Wildlife Management Agency. ### Be Sure to Remember These Items: ![Call us to make an order](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Call-us-to-make-an-order-1.jpg "» Outdoors International") - Hunting license and tag(s) - Conservation Stamp - Many states require Hunters Safety certificates - Gun Permits etc. - I.D. - Airline ticket and Itinerary - Passport - Outfitter contact information ### Some Tips for Your Antelope Hunt: - Most people pack WAY too much. For most guided trips, all of your gear should be able to fit in one duffel bag weighing less than 80 lbs. \*Not including your sleeping bag. - Use your day pack for all of your carry-on items if you are flying. - Pack an extra set of casual clothing with you in your hard case under the foam lining. - Pack your sleeping bag in a compression sack to conserve space. - Practice Your Shooting: One of the most important factors to a successful hunt is your ability to shoot well. Start preparing for your hunt well in advance by sighting in your rifle or bow carefully. Make sure you practice from all possible shooting positions, and shoot A LOT out to distances that stretch your abilities. That will make those close shots easy. - For most rifle hunts you will need a flat shooting, bolt action .243 or larger rifle with a quality scope. Sight in so that you are [dead on at 200 yards](https://outdoors-international.com/long-range-shooting-courses/). Don’t be afraid to use shooting sticks. - For bowhunts, we prefer modern compound bows that are 60 lbs or more. Be sighted in at 20, 30 and 40 yards at a bare minimum. For Western hunts you may need to stretch that distance out to 50 yards or more. Your maximum range is the range at which you can keep EVERY arrow in a pie plate sized group. - The standard tip for a guide is 10% to 20% of the cost of your trip. Remember to tip the cooks and other help in the camp as well. The amount you give reflects your appreciation for your guide’s hard work and effort. - Taxidermy: If you are looking for a good taxidermist, we use and recommend The Wildlife Gallery. They do amazing work, will treat you right and most importantly, they will bring your trophy “back to life”. Be sure to tell them Outdoors International sent you. ## Trip Insurance We strongly recommend you [consider purchasing a trip insurance policy](https://outdoors-international.com/10-reasons-for-travel-insurance/), as most outfitters do not offer refunds for any reason. If some unforeseen problem pops up and you are unable to make your trip, you won’t lose all of your hard earned money. Trip insurance also protects you from damage or loss to your equipment and provides medical benefits and emergency evacuation coverage during your trip. **Notes:** To ensure your are prepared for weather conditions for your upcoming adventure, we recommend checking [www.weather.com](http://www.weather.com) and/or [www.accuweather.com](http://www.accuweather.com) immediately prior to your departure. ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

[![Rent Guns and Gear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Rent-Guns-and-Gear.png "Rent Guns and Gear » Outdoors International")](https://rgunsngear.com/) [ check them out ](https://rgunsngear.com/) ## notes FROM the 2016 Unguided Moose hunt gear list \[[See the gear list he used in 2016](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1UBjo_dbfPx_TSgQJ1XZt6mEjt1jaYmlLLlF0Nq6UBGk)\] **Clothing:** *Everything I used from my unguided moose hunt gear list performed well and kept us warm and dry. My father used almost the identical setup without any issues either. If I had to do it over again I would go with First Lite rain gear as it would have matched my kit better for layering. By the end of the trip I tore a couple eyelets out of my wading boots from hiking in them. Maybe go with a better boot. If given the chance I would have also liked to bring a slip on rubber boot for around camp. I highly recommend the Sea to Summit lightweight bug net.* **Pack:** *Worked out awesome! That being said I believe any Kifaru pack combined with a grab-it would work just fine. Next go around I will probably bring the new cargo panel for ease of loading. It’s tough loading those giant moose parts into a tube style bag. Also, a guy can get by just fine with a more affordable frame style pack such as a Cabelas guide frame model. I saw a little bit of everything up there, the guys that had the hardest time packing were either smaller guys or they just didn’t prepare for it… nothing to do with the pack.* **Shelter:** *Those tents are tough and affordable; my only complaint is that they can be a little tight for a longer hunt. More annoying than anything. I would bring my own shelter next time. If you are bringing your own I wouldn’t recommend a floorless tent as most of these areas don’t have the solid ground for it. Also don’t bring too large of a tent because the flat spots that you can find usually are not much bigger than the 4 man Cabelas tent we were provided.* **Sleep System:** *I went with more of a lightweight backpacking setup than I really needed to. My father used a much larger Big Agnes 0 degree square [camp bag](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-choose-the-best-sleeping-bag-for-camping-backpacking/) with the big thick air paid that slides into it. You are on cots for ten plus days; make the best of it since you won’t be carrying camp with you!* **Optics:** *I feel that a decent 10×40 or 8×40 is adequate. I didn’t bring a spotter but at times it would have been nice. Personal preference. I will be bringing a spotting scope next time.* **Cook System:** *no issues* **Food:** *We had the outfitter supply the food. It was just fine however some of the stuff was a little more elaborate than what I wanted to take the time to prepare. I would bring my own food next time consisting of things that are fast to prepare combined with some fresh items purchased in bethel. Starbucks instant coffee packs are awesome!* **Water purification and storage:** *The Nalgene bottles were our go to. I kept a bladder in the tent next to my cot just to have handy for later at night. The outfitter supplied 5 gal collapsible water containers that were awesome to have on hand. The pump “clogged” right away. Come to find out I just needed to lube the seal. I’m not that versed in water purification, especially when it’s out of a stagnant lake so lesson learned there. We ended up just using the aquamira for the 5 gallon containers and then steripened what we poured into our water bottles just to be safe. Everything we cooked with got boiled so that works great also. Definitely recommend multiple purification sources as it just gives a guy more flexibility. I may go with a bigger bladder next time for camp water, maybe 6-10L MSR.* **Fire starting kit:** *Definitely bring something as a fuel source such as wet fire or trioxane tablets. We waited until we killed both our bulls to have a campfire.* **Kill Kit:** *Basically an overkill version of the one on Rokslide. The interchangeable blade knives are awesome. My theory on using the havalon and the outdoor edge was that I would use the larger thicker bladed outdoor edge for the main butchering and the havalon for the detail work and fine caping. Never broke a blade with either and they both performed exactly as I thought although I thought for sure I was going to break the folding outdoor edge while making the cut up the back of the hide.* **Hygiene Kit:** *Definitely bring this!* **Photography/Videography:** *My smartphone was my go to; I honestly never even got the gopro out of the tent because it was much more convenient just to reach in my pocket. That being said don’t forget external chargers, they are awesome. Dad’s solar charger only worked for brief periods on 2-3 days. Very over casted.* **Comms:** *Would not go back without my Delorme! It was awesome!* **Land Navigation:** *A decent GPS and a compass are important. Lots of these areas are flat and everything looks the same when you start getting away from camp. Especially in the alders, would be easy to get lost. Learn to use some kind of coordinates whether it is latitude/longitude or UTM grid coordinates simply because if something were to happen, being able to communicate precise location is necessary. Also good to set waypoints when you find good calling spots.* **Weapons:** *I saw different setups from 7mm rem mag up to 338 lapua; the 300 win mag seemed to be the more common as well as the Barnes bullets. I’m very satisfied with my choice and wouldn’t hesitate to use it again. I also wouldn’t buy a new gun over it if you have something in that range. According to an article I read that surveyed 1500 moose hunters from Canada the most popular calibers were 270 win, 30-06, 308, 7mm rem, and 300 win mag. Side arms; matter of preference. I left it in the tent as something to make some noise with if something decided to get at us in the middle of the night. Thankfully that was a non-issue. The glock was fun for [ptarmigan hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/grouse-hunting/) after we shot our bulls.* **Misc.:** *I used the crap out of all the stuff on that list. Kind of wish that I had brought the “Moose Magnet” calling funnel as I ended up making a makeshift funnel by the end that worked well. With the funnel it not only projects volume but gives you more of a raspy sound.* Kyle Hanson ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/the-bucket-list/) **Published:** July 22, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** How many times have you told yourself, Next year we will go on that vacation or when the kids are grown, or the best when I retire I will have all the time and money in the world. And just like last year, this year came and went and you didn’t pull the trigger on a dream critter. For most of us we still go hunting but we don’t really ever get to “THE BUCKET LIST”. **Content:** How many times have you told yourself, Next year we will go on that vacation or when the kids are grown, or the best when I retire I will have all the time and money in the world. And just like last year, this year came and went and you didn’t pull the trigger on a dream critter. For most of us we still go hunting but we don’t really ever get to “THE BUCKET LIST”. Stop making excuses and start living your dream. Let Outdoors International help with preparing for a guided hunt. [**Call us now for a free consultation.**](https://outdoors-international.com/contact-us/) ## PREPARING FOR A GUIDED HUNT ![Glassing for moose.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/BBCB-Yukon-Hunting-ExperienceCeaser-Lake-Outfitters-Yukon-Canada-Best-Outfitter_0212.jpeg "BBCB Hunting Glassing Spotting Scope » Outdoors International") ### You just blew out the lantern in your tent and there you are, checking a dream off of your bucket list… Laying on a rented cot, in a rented tent, in the [middle of the Alaska wilderness](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-dall-sheep-hunt-report/). If you listen close you can hear your buddy snoring in the tent next to yours. You’ve been [traveling for two days](https://outdoors-international.com/10-reasons-for-travel-insurance/) straight and you know you’re not going to be able to sleep tonight because of the excitement of opening morning of your hunt. The nerves are at an all time high as you try to relax and require your body to sleep. Years of planning and the last two months of [packing and unpacking your gear](https://outdoors-international.com/backpacking-gear-list/) have brought you to [Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/united-states/alaska/) and this moment. You’re one of the lucky few who chose to live your dream. So many of us don’t. But that doesn’t have to be the case. ## ![Backcountry hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/EXO-Mountain-Gear-Hunter-Mountains-Backpacking-Archery.jpg "» Outdoors International") ## What hunt is on your bucket list? ### The number one reason people don’t fulfill their dreams is their inability to plan ahead. As full time hunting consultants, we talk to hundreds of people a week that have a bucket list they will never complete. Not because it is too long or the critters they are looking to chase are too great, or even the [cost associated with the hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/how-much-does-an-african-hunting-safari-cost/) is too high. With some of our hunts starting at as little under $5,000, the only reason you have for not checking the box on that bucket list is planning. These hunts are still available for this hunting season… **Be bold, challenge your own story, and Own your own Happiness.** ## Are you interesting in preparing for a guided hunt? Outdoors International can help you with preparing for a guided hunt or [fishing trip](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing-trips/) of a lifetime, but you have to take the first step and decide you actually want it to happen, [give us a call](https://outdoors-international.com/contact-us/) and we will personally walk you thru every step of the hunt planning process. [**Our service is free and we’ve done all the homework for you.**](https://outdoors-international.com/about-us/) ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today! We’re looking forward to helping you book a great trip with an amazing outfitter. ![The B-Run Steelhead on the Clearwater River are huge!](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/AF990EE9-56DE-4C83-9308-D719F40772C2-e1676412880239-280x280.jpeg "Ernie Sorensen Client Patrick Kissel Idaho Steelhead Fishing Clearwater River ASC » Outdoors International") ### Thank you Outdoors International! It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won! We won this fully guided, all-inclusive New Zealand red stag hunt in the OI Draw! I highly recommend this hunt, and Outdoors International—fantastic company, amazing meals, and hunts that are second to none. **Brandon Ball** / OI Draw Winner ![Brye with his awesome kudu bull](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Brye-Mangum-Africa-Hunt-Winner-Trip-Report9.jpeg "Brye-Mangum-Africa-Hunt-Winner-Trip-Report9 » Outdoors International") ### I’m so grateful for the opportunity! Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH’s and their awesome staff. I made some new friends and will be back to Africa again 100%. **Brye Mangum** / OI Draw Winner ![Impala](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Dason-Lasiter-Client-South-Africa-Plains-Game-Hunt-Winner-DWHS-Archery-impala.jpg "Dason Lasiter Client South Africa Plains Game Hunt Winner DWHS Archery impala » Outdoors International") ### My most memorable and rewarding experience. This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

Moose](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-call-moose/) **Published:** April 17, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** So you’re going on a moose hunt and you want to learn how to call moose… well, luckily calling a moose is fairly easy. **Content:** While you’re [preparing for your moose hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/preparing-for-an-unguided-hunt/), and thinking about learning how to call moose, don’t worry, because it’s not that difficult. The only equipment you need is a moose call. - You can [**purchase a moose call here**](https://snp.link/03c8a143) or even just use a cone of some sort![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=c139c415841f8015cbb6a32f3bef57f7&_cb=1549915060205) to amplify your voice. - Some moose hunters only use their cupped hands. - A traditional call is made out of birch bark, and they’re [fairly easy to make on your own](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMdall0T4KY). ## How to call moose ### There are only two main moose sounds to learn: the cow call and the bull call. 1. Set up in a good area with lots of moose sign and start calling. 2. Mix in a series of cow calls with intermittent bull grunts. 3. The most important thing to remember with [moose hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/moose/) is to have the wind right. **Moose trust their noses EVERY time.** 4. You can accentuate your moose calls by breaking limbs or “flashing” a boat paddle in the sun to resemble antlers. 5. Sometimes a [moose decoy](https://snp.link/20ce05a3)![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=12ce712a266dcf0d82a47ffcaebdbc9e&_cb=1600019004173) will make all the difference. 6. Don’t expect a bull moose to come racing in like [elk](https://outdoors-international.com/archery-elk-hunting-tips/) sometimes do. Sometimes they are hard to convince and they are never in a hurry, so take your time. ## Cow Moose Sounds Cow moose usually make a moaning sound![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=6f1b35f818e9d036f5e1f23645251860&_cb=1600018952026), sometimes long and drawn out for up to 10 seconds, and sometimes shorter and “whiny” sounding. When you hear it in the woods, you will be surprised. I almost guarantee it. ## Bull Moose Sounds A bull moose makes a subtle, throaty, airy grunting sound![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=7c9c21401636b7541234085a63274e03&_cb=1600019031960). It’s hard to describe without hearing it. We have attached a video below that has some good moose rut vocalizations. Give it a listen in the video below. ## MOOSE HUNTING Guides & outfitters ### If you go with a good moose hunting guide, you really don’t need to know how to call because he will do the calling for you.

Hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/when-to-go-muskox-hunting/) **Published:** May 22, 2022 **Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** Muskox hunting seasons typically start in August and go through October. Greenland and [Canada](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/canada/) also offer a “spring” season as well. If you ask most hunters when to go muskox hunting, they’ll tell you to go in September. By then the hordes of mosquitoes are gone, but the Arctic winter has not yet set in. If you’re wondering where to go, you need to understand [where muskox live](https://outdoors-international.com/where-does-the-muskox-live/) and also determine [which species you’d like to hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/subspecies-of-musk-ox/). ## When To Go Muskox Hunting ![Muskox hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Muskox-CNO-35-scaled.jpeg "Nunavut Muskox CNO1 Canada North Outfitting » Outdoors International") ### Spring Muskox Hunts If you want to experience the traditional Inuit culture in the Arctic, you need to do a spring hunt. - The conditions will be extreme…extremely cold. [Having the right gear is critical.](https://outdoors-international.com/arctic-hunting-gear/) - You’ll be [hunting either by dogsled](https://outdoors-international.com/polar-bear-hunting-canada/) or with snow machines. - The muskox will be herded up and once you find a herd, this hunt isn’t that difficult because they circle up with the young in the middle to fend off predators. - A [spring muskox hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/buffalo-bovines/muskox/) is all about the adventure. ![Summer muskox hunts in Greenland](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Greenland-Muskox-FFGO1-14.jpg "Greenland-Muskox-FFGO1 » Outdoors International") ### Summer Muskox Hunts If braving an Arctic winter isn’t for you, maybe a late summer hunt is more up your alley. - What makes summer hunts awesome (other than the weather) is that the rut will be in full swing, peaking in mid-August. The bulls will be butting heads in competition for breeding cows. It’s quite a spectacle to behold! - This is a fun spot and stalk style that is perfect for bowhunters. - Hunters tend to worry that the hides will not be prime this time of year, but muskox keep their dense fur even through the summer months. ![Archery muskox hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Greenland-Muskox-FFGO1-12.jpg "Greenland-Muskox-FFGO1 » Outdoors International") ### Fall Muskox Hunts The fall [muskox hunts are much like the spring hunts,](https://outdoors-international.com/nunavut-muskox-hunting/) but the weather isn’t quite as extreme. - You’ll be hunting via snow machines or ATV’s pulling an Inuit sled (Komatik), covering lots of ground looking for mature bulls. - One great thing about fall hunts is you can combo them with an Arctic Island caribou if you’re hunting in Canada, or a [reindeer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/reindeer/) if you’re [hunting muskox in Greenland](https://outdoors-international.com/greenland-muskox-hunt/).

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won!

Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH’s and their awesome staff. I made some new friends and will be back to Africa again 100%. **Brye Mangum** / OI Draw Winner ![Impala](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Dason-Lasiter-Client-South-Africa-Plains-Game-Hunt-Winner-DWHS-Archery-impala.jpg "Dason Lasiter Client South Africa Plains Game Hunt Winner DWHS Archery impala » Outdoors International") ### My most memorable and rewarding experience. This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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!

turkeys](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/big-game/turkeys/). Few states engage in [wildlife and habitat management](https://outdoors-international.com/shane-mahoney-north-american-wildlife-conservation-model/) as intensely as [Utah](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/lower-48/utah/) does. Many other Western states have [landowner tag](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/landowner-tags/) and voucher programs. ## Utah Conservation Permits directly benefit Conservation. ### This great program not only benefits habitat and wildlife, but also hunters and conservation organizations. The Utah Conservation Permit Program provides hunting permits to conservation organizations to be auctioned at banquets and other fundraisers. According to the [Utah Division of Wildlife Resources](https://wildlife.utah.gov/), since 1981, these permits have raised more than $25 million. More than 90 percent of that revenue has gone toward projects that directly benefit the species for which the permit was issued. The Utah Wildlife Board has approved literally hundreds of permits. Many of these permits were for limited-entry or once-in-a-lifetime [big game hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/big-game-hunting-in-africa/). You can learn more about the Utah Conservation Tag Program and the programs funded by it, as well as access links to the list of permits offered, applications, and more. ## According to the Utah DWR, conservation projects funded by the Utah Conservation Permits are: - Habitat Enhancement and Restoration - Species Transplants - Radio Telemetry Studies - Research Projects - Aerial Surveys - Public Education ## Organizations that have been awarded Utah Conservation Permits: - [Ducks Unlimited](https://du.org) - [Foundation for North American Wild Sheep](https://www.wildsheepfoundation.org/awards/hunting/north-american-fnaws) - [Mule Deer Foundation](https://muledeer.org/) - [National Wild Turkey Federation](http://www.nwtf.org/) - [Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation](https://www.rmef.org/) - [Safari Club International](https://www.safariclub.org/) - [Sportsmen for Fish & Wildlife](https://sfw.net/) - Utah Bowmen for Habitat ## Are you interested in booking a hunt in Utah? [Our outfitters in Utah](https://outdoors-international.com/alberta-bison-hunt/) can help our customers acquire these highly-coveted permits by attending banquets or auctions on your behalf. ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won!

Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH’s and their awesome staff. I made some new friends and will be back to Africa again 100%. **Brye Mangum** / OI Draw Winner ![Impala](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Dason-Lasiter-Client-South-Africa-Plains-Game-Hunt-Winner-DWHS-Archery-impala.jpg "Dason Lasiter Client South Africa Plains Game Hunt Winner DWHS Archery impala » Outdoors International") ### My most memorable and rewarding experience. This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

World](https://outdoors-international.com/biggest-black-bears/) **Published:** May 27, 2022 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** If you want to hunt the biggest black bears in the World, here are the two best states... the rest of the areas aren't even close. **Content:** If you’ve ever wondered where the world’s biggest black bears are harvested, you might be surprised. We were. The [overall size of a bear](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-square-a-bear-hide/) can vary based on age, sex, time of year and overall health. Genetics, abundance or kinds of food sources, competition, hunting pressure, etc. All determine where the biggest black bears live. ## Factors that play a role in the size of a black bear ### Then there are several different points of views as to what defines a “big” bear. - Some people go by the overall [weight of the bear](https://outdoors-international.com/montana-black-bear-hunting/). - In some regions it’s all about how long the bear is. - Most hunters only really care about [what their bear hide squares](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-square-a-bear-hide/). - However, the [Boone and Crockett Club](https://www.boone-crockett.org/world-records&type=SKULLS) defines a big black bear by the [total sum of length and width of its skull](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-measure-a-bear-skull/). ### There are [several stories about the largest black bears](https://outdoors-international.com/black-bear-of-a-lifetime/) recorded but most are unsubstantiated. - There was a 880 pound bear in North Carolina - An 830 pound New Jersey bear was shot in 2011. - Minnesota supposedly had a 876 pound one taken a few years ago. - Pennsylvania was rumored to have six 800 pounders killed in the last fifteen years. - There was *“The Cattle Killer”* shot in 1921 on the Moqui Indian [Reservation in Arizona](https://outdoors-international.com/arizona-bear-hunts/) that they say weighed in at 899 pounds. - There was one in New Brunswick in 1972 that supposedly weighed 902 pounds dressed. That’s an almost 1,100 pound bear! ### While stories like these are fun, we like to look at the facts when helping our clients plan their [black bear hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/). ![Saskatchewan Black Bear Hunts LLO2](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Saskatchewan-Black-Bear-Hunts-Larson-Lake-Outfitters-1024x768.jpg "» Outdoors International")Check out this great black bear hunt in Saskatchewan, where a big boar is expected.## Where to Hunt the Biggest Black Bears in the World The World Record black bear in the Boone and Crockett All Time Records book was picked up in Utah in 1975 and scored 23 10/16″. There are 1,790 entries in the record books meeting the minimum of 21 inches. 619 of the [Boone and Crockett black bear entries](https://www.boone-crockett.org/bc-worlds-record-black-bear) were in the last 10 years. That means that 34.5% of all entries in the all time Boone and Crockett record books for black bears happened in the last decade. - **26% of those entries were from Wisconsin** – **Wisconsin is responsible for 24 of the top 100 black bears of all time, and 28 of the 100 biggest black bears in the last 10 years.** - **13% of the entries were from Pennsylvania** – Pennsylvania boasts 29 of the top 100 largest black bears of all time. 22 of the top 100 in the last 10 years. \*We initially wanted to talk about black bears in all the different states and Canadian provinces, but if you’re looking for the biggest black bears in the World then **Wisconsin and Pennsylvania are the best choices**, and it’s not even close. If you REALLY want to take a big bear though, it’s not ONLY about hunting the right area. You’re also going to need to be able to [field judge them](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-black-bears/). ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

We offer cape buffalo hunts in Botswana, [Mozambique](https://outdoors-international.com/mozambique-cape-buffalo-hunting/ "Mozambique"), [South Africa](https://outdoors-international.com/south-african-cape-buffalo-hunts/ "South Africa"), Tanzania, and Zimbabwe.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

European Trophy Big Game Animals: Weight-Based Scoring Explained and Compared to North American Scoring Systems](https://outdoors-international.com/scoring-guide-for-european-trophy-big-game-animals-weight-based-scoring-explained-and-compared-to-north-american-scoring-systems/) **Published:** December 17, 2025 **Author:** Cory Glauner **Content:** ## Introduction to European Trophy Sizing [Hunting big game in Europe](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/europe/) is a totally different experience, especially when it comes to scoring and trophy evaluation. Unlike North America’s inch-based systems, European scoring often incorporates weight as a key factor, reflecting the animal’s overall mass, age and health. The primary system used is the [CIC method](https://cic-wildlife.org/about-the-tes-2/), which combines measurements, weight, and even “beauty points” for aesthetics like symmetry and pearling. This guide breaks down sizing for popular European big game animals, including verified typical trophy weights, and translates them to North American equivalents using [Boone & Crockett](https://www.boone-crockett.org/) (B&C) or similar inch-focused scores. Whether you’re a hunter planning a trip or a wildlife manager, understanding these differences can refine your strategies and boost success rates. We’ll cover [red deer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/red-deer/), [roe deer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/roe-deer/), [fallow deer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/fallow-deer/), [wild boar](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/pigs/eurasian-wild-boar/), [chamois](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/goats/chamois/), and [moose](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/moose/)—focusing on medal thresholds (bronze, silver, gold) and real-world examples. ### The CIC Scoring System: How Weight Plays a Role The CIC (International Council for Game and Wildlife Conservation) system, established in the early 20th century, evaluates trophies holistically. For antlered species like deer, it includes: - **Linear Measurements**: Length of beams, tines, and circumferences (in cm). - **Weight**: Net dry weight of the skull and antlers (after a 30-day drying period), multiplied by a factor (e.g., 0.5-1 point per gram for roe deer). - **Beauty and Deductions**: Up to 10-20 points for color, pearling\*, and symmetry; deductions for irregularities. - **Formula Example for Roe Deer**: (Average antler length × 0.5) + (Circumference × 1) + (Volume in cc × 0.2) + (Net weight in grams × 0.1) + beauty points – deductions. \*Pearling refers to the rough, raised texture or bumps on the surface of a deer’s antlers. Medal thresholds vary by species and region, but bronze starts around 105-170 CIC points, silver 130-190, and gold 160-210+. **Weight is crucial for species like red, roe, and fallow deer**, as it indicates nutrition and age—older bucks often hit 5-10 kg in antler/skull mass for top scores. In contrast, North America’s B&C system is measurement-only, using inches for spread, tine length, and circumference, with deductions for asymmetry. No weight factor—it’s all about massiveness and perfection. A CIC gold might equate to a B&C “all-time” entry, but direct conversions aren’t perfect due to the weight emphasis. #### Red Deer (Cervus elaphus): Europe’s Iconic Stag Red deer, or stags, are Europe’s largest deer, with trophies prized for their multi-point antlers. CIC scoring heavily weights the antlers and skull. - **Typical Trophy Sizes**: - Bronze (160+ CIC points): Dry skull/antler weight ~4.7 kg, main beam length ~80 cm average, 8-12 points. - Silver (180+): Weight ~5.5-6 kg, beams ~90 cm, 12-16 points. - Gold (190+): Weight 6-7+ kg, beams 100+ cm, 14-20+ points (e.g., a record Scottish stag hit 210+ points with 7 kg weight). - **Verified Examples**: In [Scotland](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/europe/scotland/), a 2024 gold medal stag weighed 6.8 kg dry, scoring 195 CIC points. Central European variants (e.g., [Hungary](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/europe/hungary/)) can reach 8-10 kg for world-class trophies. - **North American Translation**: B&C equivalents focus on spread (60-70 inches for top scores) and mass. A CIC gold red deer might measure 200-250 B&C inches, similar to a large elk, but without weight, Europeans value denser, heavier racks. ![7.5kg Hungary Red Stag](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/High-Fence-Red-Stag-Hunt-in-Hungary-HHH75kg-768x576-1.jpg "7.5kg Hungary Red Stag » Outdoors International") #### 7.5kg Red Stag Translates roughly to 320-360 inches gross SCI (or equivalent B&C-style inches) #### Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus): Compact but Coveted Roe bucks are smaller but produce stunning six-point antlers. Weight is a dominant factor in CIC, often 40-50% of the score. - **Typical Trophy Sizes**: - Bronze (105+ CIC points): Dry skull weight 455+ g, antler length 22-25 cm, volume 150+ cc. - Silver (130+): Weight 510+ g, length 25-28 cm, volume 165+ cc. - Gold (160+): Weight 570+ g, length 28+ cm, volume 200+ cc (e.g., UK records exceed 210 points with 600-700 g weights). - **Verified Examples**: A 2023 [Scottish roe buck](https://outdoors-international.com/stag-hunting-scotland/) weighed 620 g dry, scoring 185 CIC points. In Romania, trophies average 280-350 g net for bronze. - **North American Translation**: No direct B&C equivalent (roe aren’t native), but imagine a whitetail: A gold roe might span 20-25 inches total, scoring 120-150 B&C inches if measured similarly—emphasis on tine symmetry over weight. ![Silver Medal Roe Deer](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Silver-Medal-Roe-Deer.jpg "Silver Medal Roe Deer » Outdoors International") #### Two Silver Medal Roe Bucks #### Fallow Deer (Dama dama): Palmate Antlers with Weight Emphasis Fallow bucks have broad, palmate antlers, and CIC rewards weight alongside palm width. - **Typical Trophy Sizes**: - Bronze (170+ CIC points): Dry net weight ~3 kg, antler length ~60 cm, palm width 14+ cm. - Silver (190+): Weight 3.5-4 kg, length 65-70 cm, palm 16+ cm. - Gold (210+): Weight 4+ kg, length 70+ cm, palm 18+ cm. - **Verified Examples**: [English park-origin fallow](https://outdoors-international.com/ireland-fallow-deer-hunting/) often hit 4.5 kg for gold, scoring 220+ points. - **North American Translation**: B&C scores fallow (introduced in some areas) by inches: A gold CIC might equal 180-220 B&C inches, focusing on palm spread (20-30 inches) without weight. ![Silver Medal Fallow Buck](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Silver-Medal-Fallow-Buck.jpg "Silver Medal Fallow Buck » Outdoors International") #### Silver Medal Fallow Buck Scoring 178 CIC #### Wild Boar (Sus scrofa): Tusks Over Weight Unlike deer, wild boar trophies are tusks, scored by length and circumference—no direct weight, but overall boar size (200-300 kg body weight) correlates with trophy quality. - **Typical Trophy Sizes**: - Bronze (110+ CIC points): Average tusk length 18-20 cm, circumference 4-5 cm. - Silver (115+): Length 20-22 cm, circumference 5+ cm. - Gold (120+): Length 22+ cm (e.g., Hungarian records hit 27 cm). - **Verified Examples**: A 2024 Bulgarian gold boar had 25 cm tusks, scoring 135 points; body weight ~250 kg. - **North American Translation**: SCI (Safari Club International, similar to B&C for exotics) uses inches: Gold CIC tusks might measure 9-11 inches, scoring 20-25 SCI points per tusk. ![Measuring Wild Boar Tusks](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot-2025-12-17-at-42340-PM.png "Measuring Wild Boar Tusks » Outdoors International") #### Measuring Wild Boar Tusks #### Chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra): Horn-Focused Mountain Game Chamois horns are hooked and measured by length and base—no weight in CIC, but trophy size ties to animal maturity (20-30 kg body weight). - **Typical Trophy Sizes**: - Bronze (95+ CIC points): Horn length 22-25 cm, base circumference 7-8 cm. - Silver (100+): Length 25-27 cm, base 8+ cm. - Gold (105+): Length 27+ cm (e.g., Carpathian records reach 30 cm). - **Verified Examples**: [Romanian chamois average 25 cm](https://outdoors-international.com/new-zealand-chamois-hunt/) for silver, with 28 cm golds. - **North American Translation**: Similar to [bighorn sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/new-zealand-tahr-hunting-chamois-combo/) in B&C: Gold chamois horns might score 150-170 inches total curl length. ![](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Measuring-chamois-e1766013890948.jpg "Measuring chamois » Outdoors International") #### A Pair of Giant Chamois #### Moose (Alces alces): Europe’s Giant with Palmate Antlers European moose (Eurasian elk) are scored by measurements, with minimal weight influence—spread and palm size dominate. - **Typical Trophy Sizes**: - Bronze (300+ CIC points): Antler spread 100-120 cm, palm length 80+ cm, 10-14 points. - Silver (350+): Spread 120-140 cm, palm 90+ cm. - Gold (400+): Spread 140+ cm (records hit 200 cm, weights 30-40 kg antlers). - **Verified Examples**: Scandinavian golds weigh 25-35 kg in antlers, scoring 450+ points. - **North American Translation**: B&C is nearly identical: A European gold might hit 400-450 B&C inches, like Alaskan moose, with 60-70 inch spreads. ![Measuring a Eurasian moose](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot-2025-12-17-at-42411-PM.png "Measuring a Eurasian moose » Outdoors International") ### Key Differences: European Weight vs. North American Inches - **Pros of CIC**: Rewards overall animal quality (weight indicates habitat health), includes subjective beauty for uniqueness. - **Cons**: Weight can vary by drying/prep; less standardized across regions. - **Pros of B&C**: Objective, easy to measure in field; emphasizes symmetry for conservation. - **Cons**: Ignores mass density. - **Conversion Tip**: Multiply CIC points by 1.1-1.5 for rough B&C inch estimates (e.g., 200 CIC ~ 250-300 inches), but consult official measurers. #### Conclusion: Choosing Your Trophy System Whether hunting in the Scottish Highlands or Romanian mountains, understanding CIC’s weight-inclusive approach versus B&C’s inch-based precision helps set realistic goals. For top ranks, focus on well-managed areas with nutrient-rich habitats. Always verify with certified measurers—contact CIC or B&C for official scoring. ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should.

Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH’s and their awesome staff. I made some new friends and will be back to Africa again 100%. **Brye Mangum** / OI Draw Winner ![Impala](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Dason-Lasiter-Client-South-Africa-Plains-Game-Hunt-Winner-DWHS-Archery-impala.jpg "Dason Lasiter Client South Africa Plains Game Hunt Winner DWHS Archery impala » Outdoors International") ### My most memorable and rewarding experience. This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

International **Excerpt:** Let's talk about the basic principles of tuning a bow for broadheads to achieve proper broadhead flight. It's really not that difficult. **Content:** Are you an archery hunter? Do you believe that not only physical preparation but also equipment preparation are keys to your success in the field? I know that I am not the only one. I deal with broadhead tuning questions every year from customers and most are always in the frame of mind that they want to find the best flying broadhead. ## Broadhead Tuning Well what is the best flying broadhead![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=5fa2c9be75cfd8759e69e68bc408ade5&_cb=1551477275538)? Many in the archery industry will disagree on this, and most of it is based upon marketing and advertising. Look at *“my product”* every company calls out to the millions of customers vying for that fleeting moment of a customer’s weakness to open their pocket book. *“It is newer…It is better…It is more expensive…Got to have the new thing…Have to go with the tried and true standard for years…I’ll only shoot Muzzy broadheads![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=a7543f9436a8091df70f0d034039dbd6&_cb=1551477405584)…Slick Trick broadheads![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=39038d679957ec36672baf4b684460d4&_cb=1551477416257) are where it’s at…It’s all the Rage![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=478cba1d9e9b74c93e410cce77f6e3cb&_cb=1551477333626)!”* you all have heard it and see it every day, just tune into any outdoor show, Facebook or other media outlet. What does it all even mean? Why can’t you get broadheads to fly right? Why does one guy never have a problem with broadhead tuning and you constantly do? Is it true that *“better archery through aggressive spending”* is the only way to go? Well let’s calm a few of your nerves and get back to basic principles of tuning a bow for broadheads to make a broadhead fly true. Not every question or discussed topic will be answered in this post, but answers will come with more posts and more explanation, can’t do it all at once, what fun would that be. 1. ### Tuning a Bow for Broadheads and Shooting Form Oh boy, we can really open a can of worms with this one. So, let’s make it simple. There is no, it’s *“good enough”* tune. Good enough means, it isn’t perfect, if it isn’t perfect, well Houston, we have a problem to begin with. Every bow should shoot with-in a certain set of parameters that we all can understand, there really isn’t any smoke and mirrors here. If it doesn’t shoot right, then guess what, there is something wrong with the bow that your archery tech really needs to find. Your bow must be the right draw length, the right poundage, timed correctly, correct center shot set, have your rest![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=20faa446bd30681091203251178c982b&_cb=1551477539749) timed correctly (if shooting a drop away), Nock height correct. Each one of these that is off by even a little will prevent your broadheads from shooting the same as your field points. We will discuss form later. 2. ### Correct Arrow Spine No, 350, is not what it weighs, it is the spline of the arrow. One of the biggest mistakes I see every year is just that. That plus other things lead to more people trying to shoot too weak of splined arrow for their bow. Arrow spline will also be totally affected by the length of your draw. Poundage is one thing, but length of draw is another. If your arrow is not matched to your bow setup, poundage, draw, cam type, draw force curve, kick points, tip weight, this will affect your broadhead flight immensely. You don’t just go toss a 125-grain point on your arrow and expect that it will be fine and shoot the same as your 100-grain point, it can change everything. 3. ### Is your arrow cut straight on the front and the back? Yes, it matters… Make sure that your arrows are squared both on the nock end and the tip end. If one thing isn’t square, how can you expect it to received pressure evenly. Square your arrow, square your insert, outsert, (whichever you use) it is paramount to consistency across your dozen. 4. ### Align the Spine Most people get confused with this one. Spine is the heaviest part of your arrow, the point in which it bends to and from. Many tests we have done over the years to find this. Some have been the bathtub float, spine measurement tools, etc. If your arrows are fletched and set on your string in various positions in relation to the “spine” of your arrow, they will not fly the same. Notice Victory archery![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=98688919046d2d78d60cd5ca17353013&_cb=1551477630220), “spine aligned arrow”. Not every manufacture does this. Just because your label in the same direction doesn’t mean that your “spine” is in the same place. Please check it, if you want consistency and you want to eliminate all variables. 5. ### Make sure that your broadheads spin on your arrows. Did you spin them on an arrow spinner? Golly the amount of times I hear someone, *“I just tossed on some broadheads and headed out the door.”* Did you spin them? Ah, no. Then how do you know that they will fly consistently? Shrugs their shoulders. Ah, the hope that if we don’t know, it can’t hurt us. One tool that every archery hunter should have, a $24 arrow spinner![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=16051402a66917527a6d006a2c1fc3c5&_cb=1551477665308). I won’t take that chance with mine or any of my customers equipment on a hunt, it deserves the respect of making sure that our equipment is as perfect as it can be. If your broad head spins perfect, on a perfectly square arrow that is spined, and splined correctly, now my friends, you have a tuned hunting arrow that if you execute the shot will go where it is pointed. ## Conclusion Do you realize that advertising is just that…advertising? It is meant to get you to buy something, whether it be worse or better. Why is that important? I will say something here that most manufactures, or shooters will cringe at that don’t understand physics. If you do everything correctly, tune your bow, proper shooting form, spin your broadheads, spline and spine your arrow correctly, square your arrows, then guess what. Every 100 grain broadhead, will fly the same as your field points in a controlled environment. ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

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.

Start [preparing for your hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/the-bucket-list/) well in advance by sighting in your rifle or bow carefully. Make sure you practice from all possible shooting positions, and shoot A LOT out to distances that stretch your abilities. That will make those close shots easy. For most rifle hunts you will need a flat shooting, bolt action .243 or larger rifle with a quality scope. Sight in so that you are dead on at 200 yards. Don’t be afraid to use shooting sticks. ❏ Rifle (Aoudad live in open country, so [prepare for long shots](https://outdoors-international.com/long-range-shooting-courses/).) ❏ Shells (at least one box) ❏ Scope (with rain cover) ❏ Sling ❏ Shooting Sticks ❏ Soft Rifle Case ❏ Hard Rifle Case ❏ Gun Cleaning Kit ### Archery Hunts For bowhunts, we prefer modern compound bows that are 60 lbs or more. Be sighted in at 20, 30 and 40 yards at a bare minimum. For Western hunts you may need to stretch that distance out to 50 yards or more. Your maximum range is the range at which you can keep EVERY arrow in a pie plate sized group. ❏ Bow \*check Regulations in the state you are hunting ❏ Arrows (at least one doz.) ❏ Broadheads \*check Regulations in the state you are hunting ❏ Release \*an extra release is recommended ❏ Soft Bow Case ❏ Hard Bow Case The [standard tip for a guide](https://outdoors-international.com/tips-guide/) is 10% to 20% of the cost of your trip. Remember to tip the cooks and other help in the camp as well.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

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.

**Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** With [Spring Bear hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/where-to-find-black-bears-in-the-spring/) in full swing, people are hitting the mountains. [Chasing spring bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/) is a great opportunity to get outside after winter and enjoy scenery that looks completely different than in the fall. While more and more people are hunting bears, bear meat notoriously gets a bad reputation. People often don’t pack out the meat because they think bear meat is too greasy to eat. In addition to the taste, I hear people refuse to eat bears due to the trichinosis, a foodborne disease caused by a parasite called Trichinella. That is not something you want to mess with. So if the meat doesn’t taste very good, and it carries a nasty parasite why even bother? ### Well, I’ve got good news. There are ways to prepare bear meat that are safe and delicious. Spring bears in particular don’t have a lot of fat on them. So finding recipes where you can cook the meat very hot to kill the parasite, and that plays into the favor of an oily, greasy meat is the key. It is never recommended eating undercooked bear meat. Instead, find recipes like stews and chilis. ## All Day Bear Chile Recipe ### My favorite recipe to cook spring bear meat with is an All Day Bear Chili recipe. It is simple, affordable, delicious, and can feed a lot of people. ![Austin Legg Spring Bear Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Austin-Legg-Spring-Bear-Hunt-640x777.jpg "Austin Legg Spring Bear Hunt » Outdoors International")The author packing a spring bear out of the Idaho backcountry.#### Ingredients: - 2lbs cubed bear meat. - 1lb of ground pork sausage - 2 15oz cans of black beans - 2 15oz cans of red kidney beans - 2 packets of chili seasoning - 1 chopped onion - 1 15 oz can of diced tomatoes - 1 29oz can of tomato sauce #### Directions: 1. Dump all of the ingredients together in a crock pot and mix thoroughly. 2. Cook on low for 8 hours. 3. Top it with some shredded cheese and sour cream and it’s dinnertime. #### Super easy! This All Day Bear Chile recipe makes enough to feed a lot of people. Enjoy.

**Published:** May 25, 2022 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** I don't understand all of the hate that black bear meat gets.... especially if it's a spring bear. My entire family LOVES it luckily because bear hunting in the Spring is one of my favorite things in this world. Maybe you just have to cook it right (and take good care of the meat in the field of course). Anyway, here's a tried and true recipe that is tough to screw up. **Content:** I don’t understand all of the hate that black bear meat gets…. especially if it’s a spring bear. My entire family LOVES it luckily because [bear hunting in the Spring](https://outdoors-international.com/where-to-find-black-bears-in-the-spring/) is one of my favorite things in this world. Maybe you just have to cook it right (and take good care of the meat in the field of course). Anyway, here’s a tried and true bear roast recipe that is tough to screw up. ## Bear Roast Recipe ### Ingredients - 1 Medium Onion - 2 TBSP Brown Sugar (I usually substitute with honey) - 1 TBSP Paprika - 1 TSP Salt - 1/2 TSP Black Pepper - 3 LB Bear Roast (Need help getting a bear? [Here’s some great bear hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/). \*shameless plug) - 6 TBSP Cider Vinegar - 1 CUP Chicken Broth - 2 TSP Worcestershire Sauce - Red Pepper Flakes to taste - 1 TSP Sugar (honey works too) - 1 TSP Dry Mustard - 1/2 TSP Cayenne Pepper ### Directions 1. Place onion in a slow cooker. 2. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, salt and pepper. Mixing thoroughly. 3. Rub the mixture on the meat, coating evenly. Place the roast in the slow cooker. 4. In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar, chicken broth, worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, sugar, mustard and cayenne pepper. Mixing thoroughly. 5. Add to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. **\***Like pork, the proper cooking time for bear meat is 375 degrees F for 20-25 minutes per pound. Internal cooking temperature should reach **160 degrees** for 3 minutes or more before consumption. 6. Remove the meat and discard the fat. (Most people don’t like the taste of bear fat.) That’s it. It’s a super simple recipe that always turns out great. This is a good one for a Sunday afternoon. Here’s another good bear recipe: [Charcoal Grilled Leg of Bear](https://outdoors-international.com/charcoal-grilled-leg-bear-recipe/) ### You might also be interested in one of these posts: [ ![Wild Game Hamburger Recipe](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Gemsbok-Burger-500x333.jpg "Wild Game Hamburger Recipe » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/juicy-venison-burger-recipe/) ##### [Kalahari Quarter Pounder: The Juiciest Butter-Stuffed Venison Burger Recipe](https://outdoors-international.com/juicy-venison-burger-recipe/) A few years ago on a bowhunting safari in South Africa, I arrowed a gemsbok \[…\] 07 Jan [ ![alaska smoked salmon recipe](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/smoked-salmon-446x640.jpg "smoked salmon » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-smoked-salmon-recipe/) ##### [How to Make the Perfect Alaska Smoked Salmon Recipe](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-smoked-salmon-recipe/) Looking for a delicious and impressive appetizer for your next dinner party?

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Add smoke wood chunks to charcoal to create a fragrant smoke on the meat. ### Directions 1. Prepare leg, making sure all fat is trimmed – *Caution: When grilling bear meat, dripping fat will ignite! Trim all fat before cooking!* 2. Sprinkle or rub all sides of the trimmed leg evenly with spices 3. Prepare charcoal grill for low to medium heat or an indirect-heat set up 4. Place leg on grill and cook slowly for 6-10 hours or until desired doneness, turning occasionally and re-seasoning 5. **Allow bear meat to reach an internal temp of 160 degrees F before consumption** ### You might also be interested in one of these recipes: [ ![Wild Game Hamburger Recipe](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Gemsbok-Burger-500x333.jpg "Wild Game Hamburger Recipe » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/juicy-venison-burger-recipe/) ##### [Kalahari Quarter Pounder: The Juiciest Butter-Stuffed Venison Burger Recipe](https://outdoors-international.com/juicy-venison-burger-recipe/) A few years ago on a bowhunting safari in South Africa, I arrowed a gemsbok \[…\] 07 Jan [ ![alaska smoked salmon recipe](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/smoked-salmon-446x640.jpg "smoked salmon » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-smoked-salmon-recipe/) ##### [How to Make the Perfect Alaska Smoked Salmon Recipe](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-smoked-salmon-recipe/) Looking for a delicious and impressive appetizer for your next dinner party?

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

Odds](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-increase-your-new-mexico-nonresident-elk-draw-odds/) **Published:** February 3, 2022 **Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** When you dream of [hunting screaming bulls in the rut](https://outdoors-international.com/dennis-glatt-podcast/), New Mexico is often at the top of the wish list. With abundant opportunity (if you know where to go), and record book caliber bulls it’s no surprise why. If it weren’t for those pesky [New Mexico nonresident elk](https://outdoors-international.com/new-mexico-trophy-elk-hunts/) draw odds. Luckily though, **[we have a solution](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-application-service/)**. ## One overlooked aspect of New Mexico Nonresident Elk Draw Odds is the Guide Draw. With New Mexico’s big game draw being subject to a quota system it’s more important than ever to maximize your chances wherever possible. - New Mexico’s draw system attempts to distribute a minimum of 84% of their licenses to residents of New Mexico. - The other 6% go to non-residents who have not contracted with an outfitter for their hunt. - As you can see that means the remaining 10% of tags are allocated to both residents and nonresidents who [contract with a licensed outfitter in New Mexico](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/united-states/new-mexico/). ## How to Determine Your Odds 1. To determine your odds, first you’ll need to multiply the total number of licenses available for a particular hunt by the percentage allotted to your drawing pool (for residents-multiply by 0.84, non-residents multiply by 0.06 and guided residents and non-residents multiply by 0.10). This will tell you approximately how many licenses are available for your pool. 2. Then you can compare the number drawn for your drawing pool with the number of licenses available for that pool in either the Drawing Odds Report or the complete report to get a rough idea of your odds. ## Your odds dramatically increase when you contract with an outfitter for your New Mexico adventure. [Reach out to Outdoors International](#more-information) and we can line you up with some of the BEST outfitters in the state. We’ll also help you pinpoint the best unit for your wants. With vetted and quality outfitters throughout the world Outdoors International should be your first stop. We’ll help you beat those New Mexico nonresident elk draw odds!

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won!

Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH’s and their awesome staff. I made some new friends and will be back to Africa again 100%. **Brye Mangum** / OI Draw Winner ![Impala](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Dason-Lasiter-Client-South-Africa-Plains-Game-Hunt-Winner-DWHS-Archery-impala.jpg "Dason Lasiter Client South Africa Plains Game Hunt Winner DWHS Archery impala » Outdoors International") ### My most memorable and rewarding experience. This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

Muskox](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-muskox/) **Published:** September 30, 2021 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** To determine bulls from cows, look at the biggest

If the bases (boss) have almost grown together, it's a bull. Now that you've determined the sex, let's take a closer look. **Content:** When field judging muskox, the first step is to determine bulls from cows. Look at the biggest bodied animals first, then look at the base of the horns. If the bases (boss) have almost grown together, it’s a bull. Now that you’ve determined the sex, let’s take a closer look. ![Taking a picture can help with field judging muskox.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Arctic-Grizzly-Hunt-Muskox-AWCG2-scaled.jpg "Arctic-Grizzly-Hunt-Muskox-AWCG2 » Outdoors International") ## Field Judging Muskox 1. Mass is the first thing to check when field judging muskox. Like we said before, when viewing from the front, the boss shouldn’t be very much space at all. 2. Make sure that the mass continues along the length of the entire horn. The tips should be thick and blunt, or “broomed” like a bighorn sheep. 3. Look at length next. The horns should drop down along the side of the heads and the tips of the horns need to come up above the eyes. \*how the animal is holding its head can create an illusion, so be careful with this method. \*Remember, lots of mass will make the horns look short. 4. The most important thing to keep in mind on your [muskox hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/buffalo-bovines/muskox/)….LISTEN TO YOUR GUIDE! They’ve seen hundreds of bulls, and know better than you. ![Absolutely giant muskox bull](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Muskox-CNO-26-scaled.jpeg "Nunavut Muskox CNO1 Canada North Outfitting » Outdoors International") ## How to Score a Muskox ![How to score a muskox](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/scoring_muskox1.gif "scoring_muskox1 » Outdoors International")A muskox is super simple to score.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Even then, you might not get it right. [Nothing about mountain goat hunting is easy](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-hunt-mountain-goats/). The key to making this determination and evaluating a goat lies in mass of both horns and body. ## Field Judging Mountain Goats ## 1. Determine the Sex ![Judging a mountain goat](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Judging-a-mountain-goat.png) Both males and females have horns, and it is somewhat difficult to discern between the two. In fact, many wildlife departments allow the taking of nannies. They encourage [mountain goat hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/goats/mountain-goat/) to avoid nannies and in many cases require an orientation course on sex identification, yet nannies are still mistakenly taken. ![How to tell a billy from a nanny](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/How-to-tell-a-billy-from-a-nanny.png "How to tell a billy from a nanny » Outdoors International") ### Adult Billy - A mature billy will have a hump on his back or shoulder and will appear “thicker” than a nanny. - A billy wil stretch out to urinate and will usually have a stained rump. - Larger horn base, usually wider than the eye. - Bases are closer together. When viewed straight on the bases will appear to nearly touch on a big billy. - Horn is heavy throughout its length. - Horn has gradual curve. ### Adult Nanny - A nanny squats to urinate. - Wider space between horns. - Horn is thin throughout its length. - Nannie horns will commonly rise straight up, only curling back on the upper 1/3 or 1/4 of the horn. - Horn is straighter with most of the curve near the end. - Smaller born base- equal to or smaller than the eye. ## 2. Horn Length When estimating horn length we must take into consideration two factors. 1. The horn will curve backward. 2. Long winter coats can hide horn growth at the bases near the skull. The curvature of the horn can short-change the true length of horns in field observations. It’s a good idea to try and visualize the horns as straight. If the apparent horn length is visualized as straightened-out, and it reaches the distance from the nostrils to the bottom of the eye, you are looking at a horn length of probably at least eight, but not over nine inches. If the same comparison yields an apparent length equivalent to the distance from the nostrils to the ear hole, you are unquestionably looking at a records-class billy. Providing his horn tips are not broken and he appears to have a thick base on each horn. Another useful gauge is the apparent length of the horns compared to the visible length of the ear. For trophy quality, one normally must look for a horn that appears to be two and one-half times the visible length of the ear. ## 3. Look at the Bases Good mass on the bases is important. Reviewing the top 100 records-book goats of all-time, you will find the base circumferences range from 6 to 6-6/8″. \*Billy’s have two large black glands directly behind the horns which can be mistaken for extraordinary mass. Nannies do not have this gland. ### Online Scoring Tool ![Alaska Mountain goat hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Pacific-Mountain-Guides-Mountain-Goat-20.jpg "Alaska Mountain Goat PMG » Outdoors International") ## 4.

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

List](https://outdoors-international.com/elk-hunting-gear-list/) **Published:** February 9, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** To have a successful elk hunt, you need to be prepared. Whether you’re using archery, a rifle or black powder, you need specialty gear for elk hunting. From scouting equipment to game bags, this early season elk hunting gear list has all of the gear you will need. **Content:** To be consistently successful when you’re [elk hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/elk/ "Elk Hunting Guides and Outfitters"), whether you’re going [unguided](https://outdoors-international.com//product-tag/diy/) or with an outfitter, you need to be prepared. If you’re looking for an early season elk hunting gear list, it is probably for an archery hunt, and you’re going to need some specialty gear that isn’t used on other hunts. From scouting equipment to game bags, this early season elk hunting gear list has all of the gear you will need. \*If you’re mobile, backcountry, backpack-style hunter and want to go lean-and-mean, be sure to check out [this podcast with Steve Speck](https://outdoors-international.com/backpacking-gear-list/), the owner of EXO Mountain Gear. That post also has links to the [gear that Steve uses on his backcountry hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/backpacking-gear-list/). ## Early Season Elk Hunting Gear List **\[REMEMBER\]** This is a sample/generic gear list. For more specific details for the time of year you are traveling to, we recommend checking with your outfitter, [hunting consultant](https://outdoors-international.com/about-us/) or your destination’s local Wildlife Management Agency. ### **Apparel** - Underwear (1 pair per day) - Base Layer Top and Bottom (2 – 3 pairs per week) **\***we suggest merino wool - Lightweight Camo Jacket - Windstopper Camo Jacket - Midweight Camo Jacket - Lightweight Camo Vest - Lightweight Camo Shirt (3 – 5 per week) **\*** - Lightweight Camo Pants (1-2 pair per week) - Midweight Camo Pants (1 pair per week) - Rain Gear - Blaze Orange (rifle hunts) **\***check regulations in the state you are hunting - Lightweight Gloves - Midweight Gloves - Camo or Neutral-colored Cap - Camo Stocking Cap or Camo Beanie - Camo Head Net ### **Footwear** - Hunting Boots - Socks (1 pair per day) - Liner Socks (1 pair per day) - Boot Grease - Extra Laces - Camp Shoes - Stalking Shoes ### **Elk Hunting Accessories** - Elk Decoy - Cow Calls - Bugle and Bugle Tube - Ground Blind - Folding Chair - Bow Holder - Day Pack - Water Bottle - Large Backpack - Wind Direction Indicator - Flashlight - Headlamp - Hunting Knife - Multi-Tool - Topo Maps or Mobile Mapping Software - [inReach GPS](https://outdoors-international.com/garmin-inreach-mini/) - Scent Elimination Spray - Water Bladder (2L) - Fire Starter Kit - Game Bags - Caping Salt - Dry Bag ### **Optics** Buy the highest quality optics that you can afford. - Binoculars (Quality 8’s or 10’s) - Spotting Scope - Tripod - Rangefinder - Bino Harness - Phone Skope - Lens Cloth - Defogger ### **Camping Gear** - Tent/Bivy (appropriate for the trip) - Large Duffel Bag - Sleeping Bag (appropriate for the season/region) - Sleeping Pad - Camp Pillow - Cot - Compression Bag - 5 gal.

On these hunts, most gear will be the same, other than the weapon of course. Use enough gun. We suggest these calibers: .270 Winchester; 7mm Remington Magnum; .30-06 Springfield; .300 WSM; .300 Winchester Magnum; .300 Weatherby Magnum; 30 Nosler; .338 RCM; or .338 Winchester Magnum.

For most guided trips, all of your gear should be able to fit in one duffel bag weighing less than 80 lbs. \*Not including your sleeping bag. - Use your backpack for all of your carry-on items if you are flying. - Pack an extra set of casual clothing with you in your hard case under the foam lining. - Pack your sleeping bag in a compression sack to conserve space. ### **Trip Insurance** We **strongly recommend** you [consider purchasing a trip insurance policy](https://outdoors-international.com/10-reasons-for-travel-insurance/), as most outfitters do not offer refunds for any reason. If some unforeseen problem pops up and you are unable to make your trip, you won’t lose all of your hard earned money. Trip insurance also protects you from damage or loss to your equipment and provides medical benefits and emergency evacuation coverage during your trip. For more information [visit this link](https://outdoors-international.com/10-reasons-for-travel-insurance/). ### **Check the Weather** To ensure your are prepared for weather conditions for your upcoming adventure, we recommend checking [www.weather.com](http://www.weather.com/) and/or [www.accuweather.com](http://www.accuweather.com/) immediately prior to your departure. ## Here are some elk hunts you might be interested in.

Remember to tip the cooks and other help in the camp as well. The amount you give reflects your appreciation for your guide’s hard work and effort.One of the most important factors to a successful elk hunt is your ability to shoot well. Start [preparing for your hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/antelope-hunting-gear-list/) well in advance by sighting in your rifle or bow carefully. Make sure you practice from all possible shooting positions, and shoot A LOT out to distances that stretch your abilities. That will make those close shots easy. For most [rifle hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/charles-bartlett/) you will need a flat shooting, bolt action .243 or larger rifle with a quality scope. Sight in so that you are dead on at 200 yards. Don’t be afraid to use shooting sticks. Here’s a good [long range shooting course](https://outdoors-international.com/long-range-shooting-courses/) that is worth considering. For bowhunts, we prefer modern compound bows that are 60 lbs or more. Be sighted in at 20, 30 and 40 yards at a bare minimum. For Western hunts you may need to stretch that distance out to 50 yards or more. Your maximum range is the range at which you can keep EVERY arrow in a pie plate sized group.If you are looking for a good taxidermist. ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

[Man Eating Crocodile: Understanding Their Predatory Behavior](https://outdoors-international.com/man-eating-crocodile/) **Published:** September 9, 2021 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Man eating crocodile are so common in Africa that the native’s won’t eat them because they feel they are eating their relatives. **Content:** The most deadly existing reptile, the crocodile has always been on the “Man’s Worst Enemies” list. A man eating crocodile is NOT an anomaly. The African crocodile evolved over 170 million years ago as an efficient killing machine. More people are killed and eaten by crocodiles each year in [Africa](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/africa/ "Africa") than by all other animals combined. Their instinct is predation, to kill any meat that floats their way. Man-eating crocodiles have been a part of human history for centuries. Some of the most infamous cases of crocodile attacks on humans have been recorded in Southeast Asia and Africa. The Nile crocodile, which is found in parts of sub-Saharan Africa, is responsible for the most human fatalities of any crocodile species. In some areas of India and Indonesia, saltwater crocodiles have also been known to prey on humans. ## HUGE Man Eating Crocodile! ### BEWARE!!! Graphic Images A hunter shot this man eating crocodile![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=b67b5cef59e78ea9a317239593c5bb91&_cb=1550163549090) in Africa and when they were cleaning him, they found a partially digested person inside. If you have a weak stomach, beware. These photos are graphic to say the least. ![A huge man eating crocodile](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/crocodile-in-Zimbabwe.jpg "crocodile-in-Zimbabwe » Outdoors International") [ ![Pieces of a human found in a man eating crocodile.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/man-eating-crocodile.jpg "man-eating-crocodile » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/man-eating-crocodile.jpg) [ ![Pieces of a human found in a man eating crocodile.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/pieces-of-a-human-found-in-a-crocodile.jpg "pieces-of-a-human-found-in-a-crocodile » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/pieces-of-a-human-found-in-a-crocodile.jpg) [ ![Pieces of a human found in a man eating crocodile.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/human-eaten-by-crocodile-1.jpg "human-eaten-by-crocodile-1 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/human-eaten-by-crocodile-1.jpg) ## Causes of Crocodile Attacks on Humans Crocodile attacks on humans can occur for several reasons, including territoriality, predatory behavior, mistaken identity, and protective behavior. ### Territoriality Crocodiles are territorial animals and will defend their territory from other crocodiles, as well as humans. If a human unknowingly enters a crocodile’s territory, the crocodile may view them as a threat and attack. ### A Man Eating Crocodile is Just Exhibiting Natural Predatory Behavior Crocodiles are opportunistic hunters and will prey on almost any animal that comes into their path, including humans. If a crocodile perceives a human as potential prey, it may attack and attempt to drag the human into the water. Native’s in Africa won’t eat crocodiles because they feel they are eating their relatives. That’s how [many man eating](https://outdoors-international.com/man-eating-lions-in-africa/) crocodiles there are in Africa. To a crocodile, we’re just part of the food chain, and man eating crocodiles are fairly common. Crocodile hunters often discover bracelets, bits of jewelry and human remains in the stomach of crocodiles when they clean them. ### Mistaken Identity Crocodiles may also sometimes attack humans by mistake, especially in areas where humans and crocodiles coexist. For example, if a person is swimming in an area where crocodiles are present, they may be mistaken for a prey animal and attacked. ### Protective Behavior Crocodile mothers are fiercely protective of their young, and may attack humans who come too close to their nests. In some cases, crocodiles may also attack humans to protect their food or territory. ## The Role of Human Factors in Crocodile Attacks Human factors also play a significant role in crocodile attacks. In areas where crocodiles and humans coexist, humans may engage in risky behavior such as swimming in crocodile-infested waters or approaching crocodiles too closely. In some cases, humans may also intentionally provoke crocodiles, leading to an attack. ![mozambique crocodile hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/mozambique-crocodile-hunting-DWHS.jpg "mozambique-crocodile-hunting-DWHS.jpg » Outdoors International") ### FAQs **Are all crocodile species dangerous to humans?** No, while all crocodile species are capable of inflicting harm on humans, not all of them are man-eaters. Some species are more aggressive than others and may be more likely to attack humans. **How can I stay safe in crocodile-infested waters?** Avoid swimming in areas where crocodiles are known to be present, and never approach a crocodile or its nest. If you do encounter a crocodile, slowly and calmly move away from it without turning your back. **How are crocodile attacks on humans prevented?** By preserving crocodile habitats, establishing sanctuaries, and educating the public about crocodile behavior and safety, we can reduce the likelihood of conflicts between humans and crocodiles. Also, well managed [conservation efforts by hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/shane-mahoney-north-american-wildlife-conservation-model/) where large male animals are kept in check by [crocodile hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/african-crocodile/) greatly reduces human/crocodile conflicts. **Are man-eating crocodiles always killed?** Not necessarily, but that is often the best solution. In some cases, man-eating crocodiles may be relocated to areas where they are less likely to come into contact with humans. In other cases, they may be captured and kept in captivity for educational purposes. ## Would you like to hunt crocodiles? Many of our PH’s, especially on [Mozambique croc hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/mozambique-crocodile-hunting-on-lake-cahora-bassa/) target large males that have a reputation for being man eating crocodiles. Often, a hunter will shoot a [trophy hippo](https://outdoors-international.com/hippo-hunting/) and use part of it for bait. ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

Brown Bear, Grizzly or Polar Bears](https://outdoors-international.com/best-calibers-hunting-brown-bears/) **Published:** January 8, 2026 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Let’s talk about the best calibers for brown bear, because you’re not going to find a guide who wants to follow a wounded brown bear into the bush. **Content:** While there’s a lot of debate when in comes to the question of the best calibers for brown bear, one thing’s for certain: Use enough gun when you hunt brown bears! Brown bears, and [polar bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/polar-bear/) are extremely powerful animals, choosing the correct caliber is critical. ## Brown bears are truly dangerous game. Polar bears are even more dangerous! The lineage of the [brown bear](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/) dates back to its ancestor, the cave bear about 1.2 million years ago. Cavemen hunted bears with rocks and spears coming out on the short end of the stick most of the time (pun intended). This is largely due to the fact that pound for pound this is arguably the “baddest” animal on the planet. The [largest brown bear](https://outdoors-international.com/largest-brown-bears/) ever recorded tipped the scales at 2,000 pounds. That’s equal to the weight of ten average sized men together. ### Not only are they huge, brown bears are extremely powerful animals. The [Alaskan brown bear](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-hunting/) also owns the 14th most powerful bite in the animal kingdom at 850-930 PSI… even more than an African lion, crocodile or any other [dangerous game animal](https://outdoors-international.com/african-dangerous-game/). It only takes 160 PSI to break a human femur. They can generate 13,000-15,000 pounds of force with one paw strike. No other animal of equal size is as powerful. They can kill a large elk or [moose](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/moose/) with one swipe and carry it off long distances. ### There is report of a brown bear pulling a steer over half a mile up a mountain. The slope was almost vertical and most of the mountain side was full of alder thickets with bases 3-4 inches thick. They can also run over 21 miles an hour uphill or downhill. That’s 30 feet per second. So a 1,200 pound brown bear hitting you moving at that speed carries 19,000 foot pounds of energy. [![Snowy Mountain Rifles](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Snow-Mountain-Rifles-Banner-Ad.jpg)](https://outdoors-international.com/long-range-shooting-course-fundamentals/) ## Best Calibers for Brown Bears and polar bears ### Now let’s talk about weapon choice because you’re not going to find a guide who wants to follow a wounded bear into the bush. **Disclaimer:** *WE DO NOT claim to be experts on the best caliber for brown bear hunting… We have just compiled this information based on first-hand experience as well as the experience of other brown bear hunters, guides and outfitters.* - ![Craig Boddington with a big polar bear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Craig-Boddington-with-his-2015-polar-bear.jpg "Craig-Boddington-Nunavut Polar Bear CNO » Outdoors International")Craig Boddington with a big polar bear**Weatherproof your rifle as much as possible.** Alaska is hard on rifles. The rifle’s barrel and action should be stainless steel or should have a rust-resistant coating. Another good weatherproofing tip is to put electrical tape over the end of your barrel. You’re rifle will be wet at least 40% of the time. Trust me. - **The stock should be synthetic.** It rains during **[brown bear hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-hunt-brown-bears/)**. It rains a lot. A laminate stock will also work, but it will be heavier than synthetic. - **Your scope should be waterproof and have a wide field of view** with low magnification as shots at brown bears tend to be at fairly close range. A scope cover![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=e3f9d312ae1003a6ee46a5279e1b5f98&_cb=1567016465113) is a must. - **.30-06 is the bare minimum caliber that you should consider for brown bear hunting.** Most people would agree that while it is still a little bit light. A deep-penetrating 200 to 220 grain bullet travelling at 2,600 to 2,700 fps put in the boiler room will always be effective. - **Other cartridges to consider for brown bear hunting include:** - 416 Remington Mag (Recoil reducer recommended) - Winchester Model 70 Alaskan (.375 H&H) - Remington Model 700 (.375) - Smith & Wesson 500 - Winchester .338 Magnum - .404 Jeffery (If you can find one) - .338 Lapua - **All that said, the .375 H&H Magnum with a 300-grain bullet at 2,600 fps has long been the classic brown bear cartridge.** - It is recommended that you **use a bonded bullet without a thin jacket**. A frames and partitions are also good. Use a premium controlled expanding bullet. My preference is a 300 grain minimum.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

Bear](https://outdoors-international.com/difference-between-brown-bear-grizzly/) **Published:** January 9, 2026 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** More than 32,000 brown bears call Alaska home! Even though there are technically two subspecies in North America (the grizzly and the Kodiak), all brown bears in Alaska are genetically identical. The difference between Coastal and Grizzly Bears is geographical and diet. **Content:** The difference between Brown and Grizzly Bear can be confusing. Hopefully this article will clear up some of the confusion for you. ## All grizzly bears are brown bears, but not all brown bears are grizzly bears. Grizzly bears and brown bears are the same species *(Ursus arctos)*, but grizzly bears are currently considered to be a separate subspecies *(U. a. horribilis)*. Due to a few morphological differences, Kodiak bears are also considered to be a distinct subspecies of brown bear *(U. a. middendorffi)*, but are very similar to Katmai brown bears in diet and habits. Even though grizzlies are considered to be a [subspecies of brown bear](https://outdoors-international.com/brown-bear-subspecies/), the difference between a grizzly bear and a brown bear is fairly arbitrary. In North America, brown bears are generally considered to be those of the species that have access to coastal food resources like salmon. Grizzly bears live further inland and typically do not have access to marine-derived food resources. - In 2007, approximately 1,900 [brown bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/) and [grizzly bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/) were harvested in Alaska. - Alaska residents took 700, and roughly 1,200 (or 67%) were taken by nonresidents. - [Alaska brown bear hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-hunting/) seasons are held in both spring and fall in some areas but only in fall in other areas. - It is illegal to kill cubs and females with offspring. - Nonresident brown bear hunters are required to have a guide, or be accompanied by an Alaska resident who is a relative. ### Brown Bears As their name suggests, coastal brown bears live along the coast where the living is easier and the climate is better. They have a broad global distribution primarily across [Eurasia](https://outdoors-international.com/eurasian-brown-bears/) and coastal regions of Alaska. The largest populations are in [Russia](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/asia/russia/), with around 130,000 individuals spanning much of the country. Check out this amazing [brown bear hunt on the Kamchatka peninsula](https://outdoors-international.com/kamchatka-brown-bear-hunt/). In [Europe](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/europe/), they are found in fragmented groups totaling about 14,000, including Scandinavia (Sweden and Finland), the Balkans (Romania with 5,000–6,000, Bulgaria with 900–1,200, Slovakia with 600–800, Slovenia with 500–700), Greece (around 900), and smaller pockets in [Croatia](https://outdoors-international.com/brown-bear-hunting-in-croatia/), Spain, France, Andorra, and the Pyrenees. Asian ranges extend spottily from Turkey (about 5,432), southwestern Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Northeast and Western China, North Korea, and Japan’s Hokkaido island (2,000–3,000). Very small remnant populations persist in places like Nepal and Iraq. In North America, focusing on non-grizzly (coastal) populations, they are concentrated in Alaska’s coastal areas, with the U.S. total around 32,500 and Canada about 25,000, though these include some overlap with inland groups. Historically, their range was much wider, including parts of Africa (Atlas Mountains) and broader swaths of Europe and Asia, but human activity has led to extirpation in many areas. They have a greater amount of animal protein, mainly in the form of fish in their diet and hence get larger. [Use enough gun](https://outdoors-international.com/best-calibers-hunting-brown-bears/), because they are huge, powerful animals. Since the last ice age, about 12,000 years ago, Kodiak bears have been isolated from the rest of Alaska’s brown bear population on Kodiak, Afognak and Shauk islands in southwestern Alaska. Kodiak bears have the smallest gene pool of all of the world’s brown bears and a larger bone structure. They have the same basic diet as coastal brown bears and grizzly bears, but these islands have so many [salmon](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing-trips/species/salmon-fishing/) that [they are larger](https://outdoors-international.com/largest-brown-bears/) and these islands can support 40% more bears. Due to the higher population density, Kodiak bears have a more diverse social structure than other bears. ### Grizzly Bears Grizzly bears are found in [inland Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-grizzly-bear-hunt/), British Columbia, Alberta, [Yukon](https://outdoors-international.com/yukon-grizzly-hunt/), Northwest Territories, [Nunavut](https://outdoors-international.com/barren-ground-grizzly-bear/), Idaho, Wyoming, Washington and Montana. Their diet consists mainly of berries, roots, bulbs, rodents, insects and whitebark pine nuts. Grizzlies supplement their diet with [moose](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/moose/), elk, mountain goats and sheep. Basically, grizzly bears have to work harder to make a living. Because of that, don’t get as large as their coastal cousins.

Geographical location and diet determines the difference between brown and Grizzly bear in Alaska. Even though there are *technically* two subspecies in North America (the grizzly and the Kodiak), all brown bears in Alaska are genetically identical. The difference between coastal and grizzly Bears is geographical and diet. ![Difference in brown and grizzly bear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Grizzly-Bear-Brown-Bear-BC-Classification-Map-500x376.jpeg "Grizzly Bear Brown Bear BC Classification Map » Outdoors International") - The big brown bears are found on Kodiak and Afognak Islands, the Alaska Peninsula, and eastward and southeastward along the coast of Alaska. - The smaller interior grizzly is found in the remaining parts of the continent. The boundary between the two was first defined as an imaginary line extending 75 miles inland from the coast of Alaska. Later this boundary was more precisely defined with the current definition as follows: ### A line of separation between the larger growing coastal brown bear and the smaller interior grizzly has been developed to make telling the difference between brown and grizzly bear easier. Such that west and south of this line (to and including Unimak Island) bear trophies are recorded as Alaska brown bear. North and east of this line, bear trophies are recorded as grizzly bear. The boundary line description is as follows: Starting at Pearse Canal and following the Canadian-Alaskan boundary northwesterly to Mt. St. Elias on the 141-degree meridian; thence north along the Canadian-Alaskan boundary to Mt. Natazhat; thence west-northwest along the divide of the Wrangell Range to Mt. Jarvis at the western end of the Wrangell Range; thence north along the divide of the Mentasta Range to Mentasta Pass; thence in a general westerly direction along the divide of the Alaska Range to Houston Pass; thence westerly following the 62nd parallel of latitude to the Bering Sea.

**Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** On May, 2018 on the Alaska Peninsula, Chris Cammack, broke Jack Brittingham’s record for the world record brown bear taken with a bow. After a lengthy stalk on a brushy mountain side in the wind & rain Chris was blessed to arrow this amazing brown bear at just 14 yards. **Content:** On May, 2018 on the [Alaska Peninsula](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-hunting/), Chris Cammack, broke [Jack Brittingham’s record](https://pope-young.org/records/top_ten.asp?sid=1) for the world record [brown bear](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/) taken with a bow. After a [lengthy stalk](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-hunt-brown-bears/) on a brushy mountain side in the wind and rain Chris was blessed to arrow this amazing brown bear at just 14 yards. > “Getting to spend two weeks with my friends in the bush of Alaska was the greatest adventure of my life, harvesting a new World Record brown bear was a bonus.” – CHRIS CAMMACK ## The New World Record Brown Bear On September 24th after the appropriate dying time & the skull being Panel scored by official [Pope & Young](https://pope-young.org/) measures, Chris Cammack has the **NEW #1 Archery Brown Bear in the World** 29 4/16” Skull. Beating the previous Pope and Young record Alaskan brown bear taken in 2004 by just 1/16 of an inch. Congratulations Chris! “*It is still so surreal to me, the thought that I would have ever had the opportunity to hunt an Alaskan brown bear with my bow, let alone (be) honored enough to harvest the new P&Y World Record*,” said Cammack in a Pope and Young Club [news release](https://pope-young.org/information/news_detail.asp?news=150). *“Thank you to everyone that helped make this dream a reality. Special thanks to my friend and guide Cole Kramer, and especially my wife, Felicia for supporting me and allowing me to chase my dreams. Usually, Felicia is right beside me with her bow in hand, but this trip she stayed home and took care of our baby girl, Davoni. Coming home to them is a true blessing.”* ### Jack Brittingham arrowed the previous biggest brown bear in 2004. As you can see in that video, bowhunting can get crazy fast! When you’re within just a few yards of a [giant bear](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/), you better not botch the shot. Placement is critical, especially when you’re hunting something as dangerous as a brown bear. Luckily Jack made a good shot and came home with a true monster.

Scoring Tips --- ### [Gear List for a Guided Grizzly Bear and Caribou Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/gear-list-for-a-guided-grizzly-bear-and-caribou-hunt/) **Published:** January 11, 2023 **Author:** Kyle Hanson **Content:** Guided Alaskan grizzly bear and caribou hunts are some of [the most sought after hunts in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-grizzly-bear-hunt/) both as a combo and individually. There are important considerations on these hunts due to the weather and terrain that hunters should expect to encounter. Arguably the most important aspect is the gear list for a [guided grizzly bear hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/) and/or [caribou hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/caribou/). - Depending on animal locations, hunters could end up climbing up the side of rocky mountains or the more likely scenario of hiking across uneven and soft ground tundra. - There are often water features that require crossing and certain items on this gear list that are **MANDATORY** such as quality waders and rainwear (in that order of importance). - Hunters should expect to encounter temperatures in the 30-60’s F in the early season and potentially in the 20-40’s F in the later season with the occasional cold fronts and temps potentially as low as 0-20’s F on rare occasions. - Hunters should expect wind and rain to some capacity on EVERY hunt. It’s just the Alaskan norm. ![Crossing rivers in Alaska while you're on a hunt is super common.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Kyle-Hanson-River-Crossing-Arctic-Grizzly-Hunt-AWCG2-2-scaled.jpg "Kyle-Hanson-River-Crossing-Arctic-Grizzly-Hunt-AWCG2-2 » Outdoors International") ## Gear List for a Guided Grizzly Bear and Caribou Hunt in Alaska August through September This gear list for a guided grizzly bear and/or caribou hunt in Alaska is not intended to endorse any one specific brand per say however a collective of what I have found to work best from [my experience and many years of hunting all over Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-grizzly-bear-hunt-report-by-john-labanc/)! Please do not hesitate to reach out for Item specific recommendations as there are too many great options on the market now to recommend in one list. These hunts are conducted mostly by spot and stalk tactics. The hunts will be set up as a fly-in “Spike Camp/Base Camp” style of hunt where you should plan to depart from and return back to camp every day. Either from stalking animals or primary glassing points in the immediate area. [![](https://www.blackovis.com/media/wysiwyg/Logo_Banner/Sitka-Brand-Page-Logo.jpg)](https://snp.link/0015ea0c)**[SHOP SITKA GEAR](https://snp.link/0015ea0c)** ### CLOTHING I have used with great success many brands and materials. Currently I recommend mostly [Sitka](https://snp.link/34ad0c5d) and Stone Glacier clothing products for simple durability and personal fit preferences. Camouflage is not critical on these hunts. **Absolutely no cotton layers are recommended!** Synthetic’s and [Merino wool](https://snp.link/5f83a77f) type layers only. Not only will these dry faster but they have better antimicrobial properties to them as well. - - Baselayer, top/bottom synthetic or merino (2 pair, hunt) Midlayer, top fleece(1-2 pair) - Underwear, synthetic or merino (3-5 pair) - Pant, synthetic hiking (2 pair) - Puffy top, synthetic or down (1 pair) - Puffy bottom, synthetic or down (1 pair, optional) - Raingear, top/bottom (heavy duty preferred) - Ballcap - Beanie(s) - Gloves (3 pair, light/medium/insulated/waterproof/work glove variations) - Neck gaiter/balaclava (optional) ### FOOTWEAR **This is the number one most important component on every hunt you can ever go on. Specifically on this hunt your waders and wading boots.** You will most likely wear your waders for the duration of the hunt. I personally prefer a waist height stockingfoot style light weight fly fishing wader with a lace up wading boot. I will recommend brands on this as the “Simms G3” and “Orvis Pro Boot” are the best combination I have found for fit and quality. Also quietness. You may not use your hiking boots on these hunts but it is still important to have the right specs. You’ll want a 8-10” fully waterproof leather hiking boot of your preference. I have had great luck with Lathrop & Sons, Lowa, and Crispi’s but use what fits you. - Boots (waterproof, leather hiking boots) - Socks (3-5 pair and Sealskinz waterproof liner(s) if necessary) - Waders and wading boots (waist height recommended with stockingfoot style booty & lace up wading boot) - Gaiters ### SLEEP SYSTEM **We recommend synthetic bags first and foremost.** Down will work fine also however in the wet environments that you may hunt it could start to clump or collapse over a long period. It will not dry once wet on these hunts so we just prefer a synthetic bad and minimum 0 degrees F rating. Kifaru and Wiggy’s are my personal preference. Also I like to bring a lightweight inflatable pillow and an extra beanie to sleep in. - Sleeping bag - Air Pad - Pillow - Fleece beanie ![Tools of the trade in Kyle's EXO pack.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/EXO-pack-gear-spread.jpg "EXO pack gear spread » Outdoors International")Tools of the trade in my EXO pack. ### PACK **On most hunts your pack is the number two most important piece of equipment that you will bring with you on a hunt.** These hunts are Spike Camp style hunts with a stationary base camp that you will depart and return to every day so a large pack is not mandatory. Guides are responsible for packing animals back to camp however it is always appreciated when clients can chip in! So a nice supportive pack is great to have. We recommend Exo Mountain Gear, Stone Glacier, and Kifaru packs. - Pack (2,000-5,000 cu-in recommended) - Accessories (weapon sling, holster, pockets, lids) ### OPTICS ***“Let the glass do the walking for you”.*** Although it is not mandatory that a client brings his or her own optics, it can certainly make the experience more rewarding to glass animals with your guide. We understand that quality optics are expensive and for that reason I like to recommend that if you do not have them already, consider renting them! We refer our clients to for optics rentals. Give them a call! - Bino/Harness - Rangefinder - Spotter - Tripod - Adapter Plates [![Gear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Gear.jpg "Gear » Outdoors International")](https://rentoutdoorgear.com/)Save some money by renting gear from [RENT GUNS AND GEAR.](https://rentoutdoorgear.com/)### WEAPON **For Grizzly Bears we recommend a 30 caliber or larger type rifle.** Often times a hunter can simply use their favorite elk rifle on these hunts as long as you are [using the right bullet for heavy game like grizzly’s](https://outdoors-international.com/best-calibers-hunting-brown-bears/). If you are going to put together a rifle specifically for grizzly bears, I would recommend a 338 as “The Ultimate Open Country Grizzly Rifle”. 30, 338, or even 375 calibers all work great. For caribou however a 6.5mm or larger is plenty adequate however a 7mm or 30 cal even is preferred due to the high winds we can encounter in these areas. Average shot distance on grizzly bears is sub 200 yards and 200-400 yards on caribou. Remember that a hunter’s most important job is to make an ethical killing shot! Using a weapon that you are more proficient with is far more important that trying to shoot one that you are afraid of recoil wise or not well proficient with. - Rifle/Bow w/optics/sight - Bipod - Sling - Soft case (for bushflight) - Ammo/arrows - Sidearm ### ELECTRONICS I don’t travel anywhere without the following. [Pictures last forever](https://outdoors-international.com/5-quick-tips-for-taking-better-trophy-photos-this-fall/) and communications are important nowadays. You’ll never regret having a better camera on your phone or bringing an [InReach Satellite Messenger](https://outdoors-international.com/garmin-inreach-mini/)! I also now use Magview digiscoping adapters, my favorite to date! - Smart Phone and Case - Camera - [InReach](https://outdoors-international.com/garmin-inreach-mini/) - Headlamp(s) - External Charger(s) - Extra Batteries - Charging Cords ### GAME CARE **On [guided hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/caribou/) it is the Guide and Outfitters responsibility to provide proper game and trophy care while in the field.** Much like other aspects of the hunt, I encourage all hunters to participate in these aspects as I have found that it is extremely rewarding to help care for my own animals in the field. Never hurts to help hold up a giant grizz leg for your guide either! - Game Bags - Knife/blades/sharpener - Gloves - 550 Cord - Contractor Bag - Bone Saw ### FOOD AND WATER Meals and accommodations will be provided to hunters on [guided hunts,](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/) however if there are any specific snacks that you prefer or drink mixes bring them. Water purification is the guides responsibility but once again, we love to participate and a spare never hurts! Also a pro tip, bring your own long titanium spork/spoon for eating Mountain House type meals. - Personal snacks or drink mixes - Water Purification - Water storage (Nalgene bottle or similar) - Long spoon for Mountain House Meals ### MISC GEAR These are all pretty self explanatory. A couple recommendations may be to bring three forms of payment when traveling to remote areas (Cash, Check, Card). [Gratuities are generally 10%+ recommended and in cash or check form](https://outdoors-international.com/tips-guide/). Bring any personal toiletries that you need for you to include any vitamins, medications, etc… Refer to your specific Outfitter for required permits for grizzly bear hunting, and the specific tags needed for your hunt (grizzly, caribou, wolf). - Paperwork, Lic/tags/permits - Cash/Credit Card/Checkbook - Toiletries - Luggage/Hard case (commercial travel) - Extra Dry Bags - Extra Contractor Bags - Extra Gloves (game cleaning) - Weapon Maintenance Kit ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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!

[World Record Grizzly Bear](https://outdoors-international.com/new-world-record-grizzly-bear/) **Published:** January 31, 2014 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** The new world record grizzly bear goes 9 ½ feet with a 28 ½ inch skull making him the new #1 Record SCI Grizzly. Congratulations on an incredible animal. **Content:** The giant bear, taken by Bob Steed ended up going 9 ½ feet with a 28 ½ inch skull making him the new #1 World Record Grizzly Bear ([SCI](https://www.safariclub.org/)). ## Bob Steed’s World Record Grizzly Bear On April of 2013, Bob Steed was sitting and glassing from a vantage point with his guide. His guide is highly experienced, and has guided well over 100 successful [Alaska grizzly hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-grizzly-bear-hunt/). After a few days of glassing, they spotted this monster grizzly bear feeding on a fresh moose kill. After a three mile stalk on snowshoes in tricky mountain winds, they were able to close to 125 yards, Bob anchored the [big bear](https://outdoors-international.com/180-grains-ouch/) with four well placed shots. ### Book a hunt with the outfitter who guided this World Record Grizzly Bear. This is a great opportunity to [hunt truly big grizzlies](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/). You can [hunt in the spring](https://outdoors-international.com/spring-bear-hunting-gear-list/), or better yet, book a fall grizzly hunt and you can [combo it up with a fantastic moose hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-trophy-moose-hunt/). This outfitter on average takes bigger bears in the spring, but [in the fall you can make it a combo](https://outdoors-international.com/kenny-smit-moose-grizzly-combo-hunt-report/). And the best part about it is that it is not a really difficult hunt physically. In addition to great bear hunting, he regularly takes [moose that average over 60 inches](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/moose/), [caribou](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-caribou-hunt-combo/), [Dall sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/dall-sheep/), [black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/black-bear-hunts-in-alaska/) and offers [world class fishing](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing/alaska-fishing/). He has been in business for over 37 years and you will be hard pressed to find a better grizzly or [moose hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/moose/) anywhere. #### If you are interested in taking the Alaska hunt of a lifetime for a giant grizzly bear, [**contact us**](#more-information). ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won! We won this fully guided, all-inclusive New Zealand red stag hunt in the OI Draw! I highly recommend this hunt, and Outdoors International—fantastic company, amazing meals, and hunts that are second to none. **Brandon Ball** / OI Draw Winner ![Brye with his awesome kudu bull](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Brye-Mangum-Africa-Hunt-Winner-Trip-Report9.jpeg "Brye-Mangum-Africa-Hunt-Winner-Trip-Report9 » Outdoors International") ### I’m so grateful for the opportunity! Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH’s and their awesome staff. I made some new friends and will be back to Africa again 100%. **Brye Mangum** / OI Draw Winner ![Impala](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Dason-Lasiter-Client-South-Africa-Plains-Game-Hunt-Winner-DWHS-Archery-impala.jpg "Dason Lasiter Client South Africa Plains Game Hunt Winner DWHS Archery impala » Outdoors International") ### My most memorable and rewarding experience. This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Scoring Tips --- ### [Subspecies of Musk Ox](https://outdoors-international.com/subspecies-of-musk-ox/) **Published:** May 22, 2022 **Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** There are two commonly recognized subspecies of musk ox: Barren Ground *Ovibos moschatus moschatus*, and Greenland *O. moschatus wardi* (also referred to as ‘white face’ musk ox). Today, Musk ox can be found in the [arctic tundra regions](https://outdoors-international.com/where-does-the-muskox-live/) of North America and Greenland. This survivor of the last Ice Age is a unique animal, and [hunting muskox](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/buffalo-bovines/muskox/) will be the experience of a lifetime…rivaled only by possibly a [polar bear hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/polar-bear-hunting-canada/). Both rifle and bowhunters can be virtually assured of a good bull on a hunt with our outfitters. Their clients dominate the record books. ![#oitaggedout](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Kyle-Hanson-Archery-Nunavut-Canada-Muskox-CNO-oitaggedout-1020x1006.jpg "Kyle Hanson Archery Nunavut Canada Muskox CNO oitaggedout » Outdoors International") ## Barren Ground Muskox ### Found solely on the continental mainland of the Canadian Arctic, Barren Ground muskox (SCI Classification) are the world’s largest of all Muskox varieties both in body size and horns. Their range includes the region from the Arctic coast of Queen Maud Gulf to the north, and from Cape Bathurst in the west to the Sherman Basin in the east. Our outfitter has been hunting this area since March of 1986, and entries from their hunters dominate the the [Boone and Crockett](https://www.boone-crockett.org/) and [SCI](https://www.safariclub.org/) record books. - Barren Ground muskox are native to the Canadian Arctic. - Largest of the two subspecies of musk ox. An adult Barren Ground bull stands about six feet tall at the shoulder and weighs up to 1,000 pounds. - Mainland hunts for [Barren-Ground muskox](https://outdoors-international.com/nunavut-muskox-hunting/) take place in the province of Nunavut, between the villages of Cambridge Bay and Umingmaktok. - High scoring bulls come out of this area every year. There is a good possibility to take an [Arctic wolf](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/wolf/) on these hunts. - Opportunity to combo with Arctic Island caribou in the fall. - [Barren Ground Muskox hunting seasons](https://outdoors-international.com/when-to-go-muskox-hunting/) in the spring, summer and fall. Each season is a different experience. [ Contact us About Booking A Muskox Hunt ](#more-information) ![#oitaggedout](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Gary-Colbath-Greenland-Muskox-FFGO-oitaggedout.jpeg "Gary-Colbath-Greenland Muskox FFGO oitaggedout » Outdoors International") ## Greenland Muskox ### The smaller Greenland musk ox bull stands four and a half to five feet tall at the shoulder and weighs up to 800 pounds. Cows are smaller than bulls in both subspecies. The region around [Kangerlussuaq, Greenland](https://outdoors-international.com/greenland-muskox-hunt/) has the largest herds of musk ox in the world. - Kangerlussuaq has an ”inland” climate with warm summers and cold winters. - It is located above the polar circle and has an arctic climate. - Winter and Spring/Summer hunts are available here. - You can combo your Greenland muskox hunt with [caribou](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/caribou/) ([reindeer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/reindeer/)), or choose to hunt the “Arctic Five”. #### You can also hunt Greenland Muskox in Canada. Known as the *“Muskox Hunting Capital of the World”,* Victoria Island muskox hunting is incredible. Victoria Island is home to the introduced Greenland subspecies of muskox. With a population of 30,000 muskox, and it is common to see anywhere from 30 to 40 muskox daily! Our outfitter is operating in three new regions of Nunavut with a limited number of muskox tags available to Adventure hunters. - Spring season only. - Larger than the muskox *in* Greenland. - Only 4-6 hunts available per season. - Cambridge Bay is on the southeastern end of Victoria Island, and is home to the introduced Greenland subspecies of muskox. SCI does recognize them as “Greenland” muskox and this region has over 200 entries in the record book. Our outfitter holds the current number two, and is tied for number three in the record books. Fall, spring, and summer [muskox hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/when-to-go-muskox-hunting/) are available here. - Fall hunts can be combined with [Arctic Island Caribou](https://outdoors-international.com/caribou-subspecies/). #### Greenland Muskox hunting can also be done in Alaska. In 1930, conservation groups in Alaska captured 34 Greenland muskox and relocated them to [Nunivak Island](https://outdoors-international.com/nunavut-muskox-hunting/), a large island in the Bering Sea. Luckily, they thrived there, and by 1968, the herd had grown to 750 animals. They were later trans-located to establish new herds on the Seward Peninsula, on Cape Thompson and Nelson Islands, in the [Arctic National Wildlife Refuge](https://www.fws.gov/refuge/arctic/), and on Wrangel Island and the Taimyr Peninsula in Russia. By 2000, almost 4,000 muskoxen existed in Alaska. In recent years, the herds in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and adjoining areas have declined slightly. You will need to draw a tag to hunt muskox in Alaska, and luckily [we can help you out with that](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-application-service/).

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

Rut hunts (November) deliver peak action—scrapes, rubs, cruising bucks. [Guided deer hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/kansas-whitetail-hunts/) options include stands, spot-and-stalk, or food plots. ![The Best Bird Dog Breeds](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Kansas-Bird-Hunters-with-Dog-AdobeStock_205310254-1024x528-1.jpeg "Kansas Bird Hunters with Dog AdobeStock_205310254-1024x528 » Outdoors International") ## Best Places for Hunting in Kansas Kansas is a vast state with numerous hunting spots, making it challenging to choose the best.

outdoors offers plenty of things to do! Kansas is an outdoor lover’s paradise, with plenty of opportunities to explore. **Content:** When most people think of [Kansas](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/united-states/kansas/), they might imagine flat prairies and endless fields of wheat. But there’s much more to this Midwestern state than meets the eye. From rolling hills and rocky outcroppings to pristine lakes and winding rivers, Kansas has plenty of outdoor activities to offer for adventure-seekers and nature lovers alike. Kansas may not have the mountains or oceans of other states, but it more than makes up for it with its diverse array of outdoor activities. From hiking and camping in the tallgrass prairie to kayaking on Lake Shawnee, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the natural beauty of this Midwestern state. So get out there and explore all that Kansas has to offer! ## Here are some of the top things to do for outdoor enthusiasts in Kansas. ### 1. Hiking and Camping at Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve [Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve](https://www.nps.gov/tapr/index.htm) is a unique landscape that showcases the beauty of the Great Plains.

This slam demands international travel, significant planning, permits, outfitters, and often substantial costs — but for serious hunters, it’s the ultimate bucket-list quest that blends skill, adventure, and conservation support through NWTF registration. ## Turkey Slam Comparison Chart Grand Slam – Key Challenges: Multi-state travel, Osceola’s wariness in swamps Eastern Osceola (Florida) Rio Grande Merriam’s Gould’s Ocellated Royal Slam – Key Challenges: Gould’s access (permits, international logistics) Eastern Osceola (Florida) Rio Grande Merriam’s Gould’s Ocellated World Slam – Key Challenges: Exotic (jungle spot/stalk, heat, bugs) + full international planning Eastern Osceola (Florida) Rio Grande Merriam’s Gould’s Ocellated ### Ready to map your path to the World Slam? **[Contact us](#more-information) for a free personalized plan, outfitter recommendations, and permit strategy.** [ ![Eastern Wild Turkey](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/eastern-wild-turkey-male-meleagris-gallopavo-strutting-forest-canada-eastern-wild-turkey-male-meleagris-149942578-500x326.webp "eastern-wild-turkey-male-meleagris-gallopavo-strutting-forest-canada-eastern-wild-turkey-male-meleagris-149942578 » Outdoors International") Eastern (Grand Slam baseline)](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/eastern-wild-turkey-male-meleagris-gallopavo-strutting-forest-canada-eastern-wild-turkey-male-meleagris-149942578.webp "Eastern (Grand Slam baseline)") [ ![Osceola (the tough Florida finisher)](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/ghows-LK-68a33e1d-1ce2-3c19-e053-0100007fe8fd-a737385e-500x283.webp "osceola wild turkey » Outdoors International") Osceola (the tough Florida finisher)](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/ghows-LK-68a33e1d-1ce2-3c19-e053-0100007fe8fd-a737385e-1020x577.webp "Osceola (the tough Florida finisher)") [ ![Rio Grande Wild Turkey](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rio-Grande-Wild-Turkey-1-500x388.jpg "Rio Grande Wild Turkey » Outdoors International") Rio Grande (plains nomad)](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rio-Grande-Wild-Turkey-1-1020x792.jpg "Rio Grande (plains nomad)") [ ![Merriam's Wild Turkey](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Merriams-Wild-Turkey.jpeg "Merriam's Wild Turkey » Outdoors International") Merriam’s (Western white-tipped beauty)](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Merriams-Wild-Turkey.jpeg "Merriam's (Western white-tipped beauty)") [ ![A Gould's wild turkey in full strut, the largest of the subspecies](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Goulds-Wild-Turkey-Meleagris-gallopavo-mexicana-500x403.jpg "Goulds-Wild-Turkey-Meleagris-gallopavo-mexicana » Outdoors International") Gould’s (Royal bridge – long legs, rugged mountains)](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Goulds-Wild-Turkey-Meleagris-gallopavo-mexicana-1020x822.jpg "Gould's (Royal bridge - long legs, rugged mountains)") [ ![Ocellated Wild Turkey](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Ocellated-Wild-Turkey-500x357.jpeg "Guatemala Tikal Rainforest Ocellated Turkey meleagris » Outdoors International") Ocellated (World Slam exotic – iridescent jungle stunner)](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Ocellated-Wild-Turkey-1020x728.jpeg "Ocellated (World Slam exotic - iridescent jungle stunner)") ### What Makes the World Slam Elite? To officially complete a World Slam, you must harvest and register **six turkeys** representing these subspecies/species: - [**Eastern**](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/turkeys/eastern/) — Widespread in eastern U.S. hardwood forests. - **[Osceola](https://outdoors-international.com/florida-osceola-turkey-hunting-trips/) (Florida)** — The wary swamp-dweller, limited to [Florida](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/united-states/florida/) — often called the toughest U.S. bird. - [**Rio Grande**](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/turkeys/rio-grande/) — Plains and brush-country turkey of the central/southwestern U.S. - [**Merriam’s**](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/turkeys/merriams/) — Western mountain and prairie bird with flashy white-tipped feathers. - [**Gould’s**](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/turkeys/goulds/) — Larger, long-legged bird from drier mountains, mostly in [northwestern Mexico](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/mexico/) (limited U.S. draws in AZ/NM). - [**Ocellated**](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/turkeys/ocellated/) — The “extra” that elevates it to World Slam status; iridescent bronze-green plumage, no beard (or very small), found in tropical jungles — hunts often involve spot-and-stalk in heat, with unique vocalizations and behavior. Fewer hunters have achieved this than the [Royal Slam](https://outdoors-international.com/wild-turkey-world-slam/) (which is already rare at under 700 registered). The [World Slam](https://outdoors-international.com/wild-turkey-world-slam/) list on NWTF’s site shows a much shorter roster — think dozens rather than hundreds — with some dedicated hunters completing multiples. ![Ocellated Wild Turkey](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Ocellated-Wild-Turkey-3-1020x737.jpg "Ocellated Wild Turkey » Outdoors International") ### Realistic Timeline & Progression Strategy (3–10+ Years) Don’t rush — most hunters take 5–8 years, spreading costs and building skills/experience. 1. **Years 1–3: Nail the Grand Slam (Foundation – Easiest & Cheapest)** - Focus on the four U.S. birds. Many states allow multi-subspecies combos or OTC tags. - **Eastern**: OTC in 20+ eastern/midwestern states — start here (easiest). - **Rio Grande**: OTC/draw in TX, OK, KS — high populations, nomadic birds. - **Merriam’s**: OTC/draw in western states like SD, NE (hybrids count as either), MT, WY. - **Osceola**: The bottleneck — quota hunts in Florida (draws are competitive; public land tough due to wariness/swamps). Budget for guided if DIY fails. - **Efficiency hacks**: Double up (e.g., OK/KS for Eastern + Rio; SD for Merriam’s + hybrids). Use onX for scouting, apply early for draws. - Register each bird promptly via [NWTF](https://www.nwtf.org/) online ($15/bird, need witness/NWTF membership). 2. **Years 3–6: Tackle Gould’s (The Royal Bridge – Logistics Jump)** - **Arizona draw**: Ultra-competitive (1–14 tags/unit, 13k+ applicants/year, low non-resident odds, 18–30% success even with tag). Apply annually; high points needed. - **Mexico (recommended for reliability)**: High-success (near 100% with our good outfitters), 3–5 day hunts in Sonora/Chihuahua/Sierra Madres. Safer/more accessible than perceived with reputable operators. - **Best play**: Go Mexico for guaranteed bird + combo potential (some add Rio if needed). Book 1–2 years ahead. 3. **Years 5+: Finish with Ocellated (The Exotic Capstone)** - Only in Yucatán (Campeche/Quintana Roo) — jungle spot-and-stalk (no gobbling like U.S. birds; use hen calls/decoy setups). - Outfitters: High success with our vetted outfitters. - Best time: Mid-April–May (peak breeding). Fly into Cancun/Merida; outfitters handle pickup. - **Combo tip**: Some offer Gould’s + Ocellated in one Mexico trip for efficiency.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

The weather during [spring bear season](https://outdoors-international.com/where-to-find-black-bears-in-the-spring/) can vary widely, swinging from pleasant and sunny to wind, rain, and even snow….all in one day. You need to bring gear to cover all of those situations, while staying lightweight. ![This was my second time black bear hunting with this outfitter and it may not be the last.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/British-Columbia-Black-Bear-Kyle-Hanson-OILOGO-PO1-2022.jpg "British Columbia Black Bear Kyle Hanson OILOGO PO1 2022 » Outdoors International") ## Spring Black Bear Hunting Gear List ### Travel and Camp Gear - Passport and Airline ticket - Personal first-aid items (ie.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Ox Live?](https://outdoors-international.com/where-does-the-muskox-live/) **Published:** January 8, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** We get asked all the time “where does the musk ox live?” Well, there’s a simple and a more complicated answer to that. In general, muskox live in the Arctic tundra regions of North America and Greenland. By the 1920s, muskox had disappeared from Europe, Asia, and Alaska. The only remaining muskox were in Greenland and Arctic Canada. International concern over impending extinction of this animal led to an [effort to restore a population in Alaska](https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=muskoxhunting.main). [ ![Nunivak Island Muskox Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Tom-Miranda-2016-BG-Muskox-Umingmaktok-CNO1-300x300.jpeg "Tom-Miranda-2016-BG-Muskox-Umingmaktok-CNO1.jpeg » Outdoors International")![fall hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Muskox-CNO-15-scaled-scaled-300x300.jpeg "Nunavut Muskox CNO1 Canada North Outfitting » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/nunavut-muskox-hunting/) [ ![Austin with a beautiful Greenland muskox.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Austin-Legg-Greenland-Muskox-Hunt-2022-300x300.jpg "Austin Legg Greenland Muskox Hunt 2022 » Outdoors International")![People, camp, food, and gear were what we were expecting.

Today, Musk ox can be found in Northern Canada, Greenland, Alaska, Norway, [Sweden](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/europe/sweden/), and Siberian Russia. ### Alaska In Alaska, permits vary from year to year based on the year’s muskox counts. Permits are divided evenly between the two hunts. If you’re [lucky enough to draw a muskox permit](https://outdoors-international.com/nunivak-island-muskox-hunt/) on [Nunivak Island](https://outdoors-international.com/nunavut-muskox-hunting/), you’re likely to get your bull. [We can help you with your applications](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-application-service/). ### Canada ![Muskox range in Canada](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Muskox-range-in-Canada.jpg "Muskox-range-in-Canada » Outdoors International")In Canada, we offer both Barren Ground and introduced Greenland [muskox hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/when-to-go-muskox-hunting/). Native, [Barren Ground muskox hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/buffalo-bovines/muskox/) takes place on the north slope of the Canadian mainland from about Cape Bathurst eastward to Hudson Bay. You can also [hunt them throughout the Canadian arctic](https://outdoors-international.com/arctic-hunting-podcast/) islands (except Baffin Island). Introduced Greenland Muskox Hunting is carried out from Cape Peel to Mount Pelly, on the southern coast of Victory Island. ### Greenland Our [Muskox Hunts in Greenland](https://outdoors-international.com/greenland-muskox-hunt/) take place on the northern and eastern coasts of the island. ![Herd of muskox](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/muskox-herd.jpg "muskox-herd live » Outdoors International") ## Interesting Facts About Muskox - Musk oxen are not oxen, they’re actually more closely related to [goats](https://outdoors-international.com/capra-world-slam/) and [sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/). - With their stubby legs, musk oxen are not migratory. Their large and widely splayed hooves provide good traction and make for a good tool for pawing through snow to vegetation. In the summer months musk oxen take up residence in the wetlands, rivers, and valleys in the lower elevations of the arctic tundra. There is more access to food in the lower elevations, which is great for developing a thick layer of body-fat/insulation in preparation for the winter months. In the winter they actually move up to higher elevations where the snow is easier to move through. - The musk ox gets its name from the strong, musky smell that they release during mating season, which isn’t actually musk. - Their body is covered in two distinct layers of coats: a long, coarse, outer layer and a short, fine, underwool called qiviut (pronounced KIV’-EE-UTE), that is highly valued, and has been called the rarest fiber in the world. The outer coat of coarse guard hairs reaches nearly to the ground, protects qiviut, sheds water, and keeps insects at bay. The dense inner coat qiviut provides warmth, extends into nostrils, and is shed in the summer. - The musk ox is one of the oldest mammals in all of North America, virtually unchanged since the last ice age. You can find prehistoric musk ox fossils on display at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Museum of the North. - The pupils of musk oxen eyes are horizontal, which act like sunglasses to reduce the glare of the sun reflected off snow and ice. - There are[ two commonly recognized subspecies of musk ox](https://outdoors-international.com/subspecies-of-musk-ox/): Barren Ground *Ovibos moschatus moschatus*, and Greenland *O. moschatus wardi* (also referred to as ‘white face’ musk ox). - During harsh winters, they save energy by just standing or lying still. Extremely energy-efficient, they slow their breathing, heart rate, and digestion so they can survive on less food until the spring. Their compact size also helps them minimize heat loss and conserve energy. Muskoxen are poorly adapted for digging through heavy snow for food, so winter habitat is generally restricted to areas with shallow snow accumulations or areas blown free of snow.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

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.

that there are better tacticians and callers than myself, but I hold my own. Positioning, playing the wind, approach, not calling, calling aggressive, cow calling, bugling, and on and on…all these are critical when you are chasing love sick bull elk. **Content:** We have gotten a chance to [hunt elk during the rut](https://outdoors-international.com/russ-meyer-on-the-hunt-backcountry-podcast/) in some amazing places for some even more amazing animals. Out of all my experiences still the coolest hunt exists right out our back door…[archery elk hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/archery-elk-hunting-misery-elation-pure-joy/). There are some close seconds, but bow [hunting elk](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-idaho-elk-hunt-2/) in the rut, is our stand alone favorite. If you’re a bowhunter looking to pursue one of the coolest animals on earth, here are a few [archery elk hunting tips](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-prepare-for-backcountry-elk-hunting/) for you. > ##### When it all comes together and bulls are stomping in ready to fight, it’s the highest charge we’ve experienced in the woods.” – CORY GLAUNER ## Archery Elk Hunting Tips ### Be prepared to take advantage of opportunities. Positioning, playing the wind, approach, not calling, calling aggressive, cow calling, bugling, and on and on…all these are critical when you are chasing love sick bull elk. Tactics are constantly changing and **archers must be very adaptive and experienced** to be successful. There is no one strategy that will be your magic sword to success. There are a few things that will be in your control, that will make you more successful while elk hunting and it’s my intent to discuss those here. ### One of the best archery elk hunting tips is to hunt areas with high elk density and lack of hunter pressure. 1. **Draw an exclusive tag.** We can [help you with the application process](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-application-service/). 2. **Hire an outfitter who offers [guaranteed tags in great units](https://outdoors-international.com/drawing-tags-vs-guaranteed-tags/).** 3. **Buy a Hunting Voucher/Landowner Tag.** 4. **Pay for access**. I you don’t have bulls out your back door and the time to master it the nuances of hunting elk, getting access to private ground will greatly increase your success curve in quantity and quality. 5. **Purchase a Governor’s Tag.** 6. **Do your research and get remote** by burning some serious boot leather or by getting in a saddle. Drawing tags is about a multi-year strategy mixed with better luck than I have. [ ASK US ABOUT BOOKING AN ELK HUNT ](#more-information) ![#oitaggedout](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Russ-Meyer-Arizona-archery-elk-2013-1020x1006.jpg "Russ Meyer Arizona archery elk 2013 » Outdoors International") ## Outdoors International can help you get a great tag! ### As far as land access and elk outfitters we at Outdoors International have access to over 7.5 million private acres across the west for elk hunting. We would be glad to help you find a good place to go. You can [**contact us**](https://outdoors-international.com/contact-us/) and we will help you find what you are looking for. ## Our Best Archery Elk Hunts ### Arizona Archery [elk hunting in Arizona](https://outdoors-international.com/elk-hunting-in-arizona/) is the ultimate dream for many bowhunters. The state’s legendary elk units are known for producing massive bulls, including those that top the 400″ mark. Every serious hunter hopes to score one of these coveted tags. But the reality is, you’ll likely have to wait many years—sometimes even a decade or more—to draw one. ### Wyoming One of our best is an archery [elk hunt is in Wyoming](https://outdoors-international.com/wyoming-elk-hunting/) on private ground with five-star lodging, and an incredible 60% success rate! This hunting lodge in Wyoming is one of our best options for archery elk. This is a REALLY good hunt folks, and you won’t go wrong with it. Over the years, our bowhunters have had a nearly 100% opportunity rate with this [Wyoming outfitter](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/united-states/wyoming/). The average bull on this hunt will be around 260″ or so, but it’s possible to arrow a real monster. If you’re wanting a more classic, run and gun style, backcountry elk hunt…well we’ve got you covered there too. The [elk hunting in Wyoming](https://outdoors-international.com/wyoming-elk-hunting/) can be absolutely incredible, especially when you get off the roads into some of the backcountry units. [The only problem with Wyoming is that you have to draw](https://outdoors-international.com/wyoming-preference-points/), but archery tags have good odds in most units. ### Colorado We have tons of options for [archery elk hunting in Colorado](https://outdoors-international.com/colorado-elk-hunting/)! Everything ranging from a beautiful [Colorado](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/united-states/colorado/) hunting lodge to backcountry, horse supported hunts on private ground, to [DIY Drop Camp Elk Hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/elk-drop-camp-hunts/) and just about everything in between. ## Hunt with a buddy who can call elk! ### When it comes to archery elk hunting tips, one of the biggest is to hunt with someone who is willing to call for you. Elk hunting alone is much more difficult, and very reliant on being experienced, sneaky and or lucky. when you call in a [bull elk](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-elk/), it will almost always circle the caller downwind, outside of bow range because they would rather smell the source of the calling and move in, than to just run in on a straight line based on sound alone. The shooter should be positioned from 50-100 yards out front, on the downwind side to pick up that bull on the loop. Also, many times, age class bulls will not come into calling and leave their cows so a hunter needs someone in back keeping him talking and distracted while the shooter sneaks in on the noise. If you don’t have a lot of experience your guide can be your partner and again increase your chance at success. He will also know how the elk move through the country which can help on those days when they just aren’t talking and an ambush or sitting water will be your only chance. The [season started slow](https://outdoors-international.com/the-highs-and-lows-of-archery-hunting/) compared to previous seasons, and the action really took place a few days later. On the third morning of their hunt, [Russ Meyer](https://outdoors-international.com/about-us/russ-meyer/) and [Cory Glauner](https://outdoors-international.com/about-us/cory-glauner/) pass on a few little raghorn bulls at a ridiculously close range (less than two yards) right off the bat. Just minutes after the encounter with the two little bulls, a spike came in to 15 yards and they passed on him well. We were happy with our morning and figured that would be it when another bull bugled up the canyon. It was Russ’ turn to call, and a decent six point slowly moved in and started raking a tree just 30 yards above the hunter, but he had no shot. Eventually, after about a half hour of destroying a pine tree, the bull moved down towards Russ and past the hunter at eight yards. It was just one of those special days in the elk woods when things just went right. Worth watching for sure. ![Steve Speck archery hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Backpacking-Gear-List-for-DIY-Hunting.jpg "Backpacking-Gear-List-for-DIY-Hunting » Outdoors International") ## Be in Shape! ### Lastly, one of the things I see that limits many new elk hunters is their lack of physical condition. Elk hunting in September are often at very high elevations in very steep terrain. Even if the terrain is mellow you still gotta be able to cover country quickly to cut off a moving herd. Elk are rarely lollygagging. They are a critter on the move, and you have to keep up or listen to that bull cross the next ridge to be gone for the day. [Here’s a good workout program](https://outdoors-international.com/train-to-hunt-no-shape-to-elk-shape-week-1/) that we use, and I consider it one of the best archery elk hunting tips out there. Long story short… you can be successful on your own but being outfitted is a quicker way to get-r-done and you will learn more quickly. So, find a good [hunting consultant](https://outdoors-international.com/about-us/) (who’s an archer) to make sure you are with the right outfitter. Get in shape and shoot your bow a lot.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

**Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Drop camps aren't for everybody, but they might be for you if you have previous elk hunting experience and are comfortable hunting in the backcountry on your own. **Content:** If you’re an experienced DIY hunter and looking for a less expensive option for the DIY hunter, one of our elk drop camp hunts might be just what you’re looking for. They are truly 100% unguided elk hunts, and no one will be there to help you hunt. But you’ll be dropped off in camp within “easy” range of your elk hunting area. The outfitter will pack you, and [your gear](https://outdoors-international.com/elk-hunting-gear-list/) into a backcountry camp, and at the end of your hunt, pack you out, along with your elk. ### Elk Drop Camps are usually set up prior to your arrival. The camps for these drop camp elk hunts are set up prior to your arrival. Camp consists of two wall tents, cooking and eating utensils, propane cook stove, lanterns, heaters and cots. You provide your personal gear and food. The outfitter will pack you and your gear into and out of camp, and will also pack out your elk. ### These elk hunts are completely unguided, so be prepared to do it yourself. [Hunters need to be prepared](https://outdoors-international.com/russ-meyer-on-the-hunt-backcountry-podcast/) to bring (in most cases), and cook their own meals. They’ll also have to cut firewood and do basic camp chores. Lastly, drop camp hunters need to know how to skin, quarter and pack their elk to an area where the outfitter can get the mules. Ideally, a drop camp consists of a group of four hunters. However, in some situations, groups of six are possible.Drop camps aren’t for everybody, but they might be for you if you have previous [elk hunting experience and are comfortable hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/elk/) in the backcountry on your own. If this sounds like too much, we also have [fully guided elk hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/elk/) as well as [landowner tags](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/landowner-tags/) available if a drop camp isn’t what you’re looking for. ### New Mexico Elk Drop Camp Hunts - Archery Season takes place in September and your hunt will go for a period of six days. - Rifle and Muzzleloader season are from October 1st through December 31st. Your hunt will last for five days (add a day to both ends of your hunt for packing in and out) - Most of our [New Mexico elk](https://outdoors-international.com/new-mexico-trophy-elk-hunts/) hunters have the opportunity to harvest mature bulls. - These are usually wilderness hunt so make sure you get yourself in the proper shape. - This hunt is unguided, no-one will be there to help you hunt but you will be dropped off in camp. ### Idaho ### Elk Drop Camp Hunts - In Idaho,200-280 inch 5×5’s and 6×6’s are the goal, with the occasional 300+ inch bull being taken. - Archery [elk hunting in Idaho](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-elk-hunting/) can be very good if you can get off the beaten path. This drop hunt is the perfect way to do just that. - Idaho elk drop camp hunts are typically seven days with five full days of hunting and two days for pack in and pack out. - Idaho has guaranteed archery elk tags ([when applied for prior to application deadlines](https://idfg.idaho.gov/)). - Idaho has earned a reputation for being steep and rugged, for good reason, and these hunts should be taken seriously as any mountain hunt. It would be in your best interest to [be in elk shape](https://outdoors-international.com/train-to-hunt-no-shape-to-elk-shape-week-1/). ### You’ll need to be in good shape for elk hunting! Your physical condition will determine, not only your success, but also what type of hunt you can even manage…being in “elk shape” is paramount! If you’re not in great shape, you can hunt hard to draw, private land units with high elk numbers and relatively easy terrain, which is great, but more expensive. You could also go to a [hunting estate](https://outdoors-international.com/high-fence-elk-hunting-estates/). Being in shape will give you more options, like packing in to wall tent camps with moderate to steep terrain. Or for the more hardcore [hunter, a remote, hunt off your back trip](https://outdoors-international.com/trip-bartlett/) with horse pack-out support. Elevations usually range from 8,000 to 10,000 ft. Horse support will most often be available to pack out harvested animals. You might see elk, mule deer, [bighorn sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-sheep-hunt/) and [mountain goats](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-mountain-goat-hunt/). This type of [hunt is a true adventure…if you’re prepared](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-prepare-for-backcountry-elk-hunting/).

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.

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.

Bears](https://outdoors-international.com/inconvenient-truth/) **Published:** March 20, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Let’s discuss the “inconvenient truth” about polar bears. Did you see what I did there? **Content:** Polar bears are on the bucket list for many hunters around the world, yet they’ve been[ abused by the media as a symbol for global warming and climate change](https://www.carbonbrief.org/polar-bears-and-climate-change-what-does-the-science-say) for years. The special interest, agenda-pushing media would have you believe that there are only a few hundred polar bears left and that they are on the verge of extinction, but that is not true. **The world’s polar bear population![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=d8bf8417b0732a1b365b99a10f911b3e&_cb=1551896695075) is the greatest it has ever been in all of recorded history.** They’ve gone from an estimated 22,000 in 2005 to over 30,000 as of 2017. Sorry, Mr. Gore, it looks like you were wrong about, well, everything. It’s a great time to go [polar bear hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/polar-bear/). > Several groups like to use “global warming” and “climate change” to get funding for research. Remember a movie that came out in 2006 by that guy who almost became president? He predicted a major decline in polar bear populations because of global warming. Or how about the *National Geographic* issue showing that emaciated polar bear claiming its condition was due to lack of sea ice. Let’s discuss the inconvenient truth about polar bears. Did you see what I did there? ![polar bear hunting canada](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/polar-bear-scaled-1.jpeg "polar-bear-live » Outdoors International") ## Inconvenient Truth About Polar Bears ### Old ice doesn’t have seals, and polar bears would die without seals. Summer sea ice volume has absolutely nothing to do with polar bear populations. Between the months of March and May, polar bears gain 80% of their weight by eating baby seals. Harp seals are the first to calve, followed by ring seals and then bearded seals. Seals only calve on one year old ice, not thick ice. Old ice doesn’t have seals, and polar bears would die without seals. They also die from old age, tooth decay, cancer and infection from wounds caused by competition for food. One of these was most likely the cause of the condition of the bear in National Geographic. ### The Inconvenient Truth is that Climate Change is nothing new. Climate change has always been a part of the history of this planet. There have actually been at least five ice ages in the history of the Earth. London’s [Thames River froze over in a mini ice age](http://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofEngland/The-Thames-Frost-Fairs/) as recently as the 1400’s. The Sahara desert goes through a 20,000 year cycle of wet and dry cycles. 14,500 years ago, there was ice as much as a mile thick as far south as Chicago. Scientists believe that the sun is the cause of our current global warming cycle . When the Earth has been the coolest there have been massive sunspots.. Fewer sunspots generate warmer weather. There are things far beyond our control that decide what happens to the polar bears, such as volcanic eruptions, meteor impacts, continental drift, earthquakes, rising sea levels, and the inroads of man. ### Thank your lucky stars for Global Warming and Climate Change. Neither we nor the bears would be here if a meteor hadn’t hit the Yucatan, killing off the dinosaurs…. inconvenient truth. The singular event of the eruption of Mount St. Helens![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=87ec9d135f320157ae86a9c01f5df268&_cb=1551896719263) changed the temperature of the Earth for two years. If we were to set off every single atomic bomb around the World at the same time, it wouldn’t have the same effect. Pangea![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=5bc0b31271d74d83b31510473be04086&_cb=1551896734123), the ancient supercontinent drifted into all the different land masses we know today. The Earth is greener today than it’s ever been. The Rockies were formed 50-80 million years ago by plates shifting beneath North America. Erosion from melting ice and continuous tectonic activity gave birth to the Colorado River, which carved the Grand Canyon out of comparatively soft rock over millions of years. My point is, [if you want to hunt polar bears, do it](https://outdoors-international.com/tony-mudd/). The money spent helps with [conservation and preservation of the species](https://outdoors-international.com/shane-mahoney-north-american-wildlife-conservation-model/). [Polar bear hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/polar-bear-hunting-canada/) is highly regulated and their population continues to grow. The misinformed will always criticize.

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.

Hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-prepare-for-backcountry-elk-hunting/) **Published:** August 29, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** So you just booked your first archery elk hunt and now you're wondering what you need to do to be prepared for backcountry elk hunting. **Content:** So you just booked your first elk hunt. Now what? You may or may not be [hunting with an outfitter](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/elk/), but weather or not that’s the case, questions will start to roll around in your head. The main one being — *[What do I need to do to be prepared for backcountry elk hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/elk-hunting-gear-list/)?* That question sparks more questions such as these: - [How good of shape](https://outdoors-international.com/train-to-hunt-no-shape-to-elk-shape-week-1/) do I need to be in? - What **backcountry equipment** do I need? - How far should I be prepared to shoot? - What is an average day going to look like? - Where should I camp? - And on and on… ## Backcountry elk hunting can be very physical. Physical condition is always key when chasing elk in the Rocky Mountain West. Sure, there are some easy physical hunts ([and we have them](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/elk/)) but they are far and few between. Most [archery elk hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/nate-fox-colorado-archery-elk-hunt-report/) will demand a high level of fitness for success and enjoyment of your hunt. No one likes to wake up super sore on day two! We recommend you start a fitness program at least six months before your hunt, or at a minimum, 90 days. You need to train with a pack on and you need to have good cardio. It’s very likely you will be hunting at elevations of 7,000’+ if not 9,000’+, and at those elevations there just isn’t as much oxygen, and you will feel it if you’re not ready. > ##### “There is no hunter ever, in the history of hunting, who has stood at 9,000’ft, chasing bulls, wishing he was in worse shape.” – STEVE SPECK ## The right gear is critical for backcountry elk hunting **Now, let’s talk equipment.** You will need good boots, I recommend [Hoffman Boots](https://outdoors-international.com/hoffman-boots/) or [Lathrop and Sons](https://outdoors-international.com/lathrop-and-sons-mapping-kit/). They are the best [September elk hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/archery-elk-hunting-tips/) boot on the market in my opinion. **Your feet are your most important tool to take care of on an elk hunt, don’t go cheap.** For your hunting clothing, get a good layering system and plan for warm mid day temps and a wide variety of temps and conditions. For your backpack, I like [EXO Mountain Gear](https://outdoors-international.com/backpacking-gear-list/). I’m a Hoyt and Black Gold man on bows and for sure take along a set of good game bags. It’s always nice to have a good knife along as well. ## ![Steve Speck's Backpacking Gear List for DIY Hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Backpacking-Gear-List-for-DIY-Hunting-1024x683.jpg "» Outdoors International") ### Backcountry elk hunting isn’t easy, but it will be fun… if you’re prepared. ## **You won’t’ get much sleep on an elk hunt** Be mentally prepared that you will be getting up usually at least an hour before light and going to bed at least 2 hours after light. It’s a, go to bed at 11pm and get up at 4am deal. [Sleep deprivation](https://outdoors-international.com/shawn-davis-kyrgyzstan-ibex-hunt-report/) is always a part of chasing bulls with stick and string. Slip in a nap, mid day, if you can….it will help huge by the end of the hunt. Don’t forget the importance of a good headlamp (and extra batteries) as many times you will have it on, both morning and evening on your way in and out. You will be likely hiking several miles a day. Don’t forget moleskin for blisters. Blisters can shut down a hunt. You will likely hunt hard in the morning and take a break mid day, or sit on a wallow. [Here’s a list for backcountry elk hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/backpacking-gear-list/). Hunters that want to [keep going midday](https://outdoors-international.com/russ-meyer-on-the-hunt-backcountry-podcast/) are often just blowing out elk….don’t press your guide if he suggests you [lay low during the heat of the day](https://outdoors-international.com/archery-elk-hunting-tips/). The evening hunt will be short, everything will happen quickly…move with a purpose and error on the side of aggression. Most of the best evening hunting happens quickly. Usually in the last 45 minutes to an hour. Lastly, [be ready to shoot as far as you can](https://outdoors-international.com/long-range-shooting-courses/)…sounds like common sense, but often clients limit themselves by what they practice. If guys practice out to 40, then that is all they are good at. If you practice at 80 all the time, you will be good at that too. Practice long range…it [makes a 30 yard shot feel like a chip shot](https://outdoors-international.com/archery-elk-hunting-video/).

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.

North America, Utah, Wyoming --- ### [How to Get Guaranteed Tags in Hard-to-Draw Units](https://outdoors-international.com/drawing-tags-vs-guaranteed-tags/) **Published:** November 14, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** The intent of this post is to present the pros and cons of the "accumulate points, draw a tag, and then find an outfitter system" versus the "get a guaranteed tag along with your guided hunt system." **Content:** One advantage to booking a fully guided hunt is that it often assures you guaranteed tags in hard-to-draw units! This is because outfitters typically have a certain number of tags allocated to them. Let’s first clarify one important point in this article. I’m speaking to [hunters looking to go on an outfitted hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/top-5-dream-hunts/), not DIY. If this included the option of [DIY hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/diy/), my opinion would change. Also, my suggestions are the most cost effective. I will not discuss [Landowner tags](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/landowner-tags/), Vouchers, auction tags, [Conservation Permits](https://outdoors-international.com/utah-conservation-tag-program/), or Governors tags as often they can go for 10’s and even 100’s of thousands of dollars. \*For the hunters who can afford this strategy we can be helpful. ![AJ Kissel with 200 Inch Utah Archery Mule Deer](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Andrew-Kissel-Client-Utah-Archery-Mule-Deer-RKHC-3-600x451.jpg "» Outdoors International")Outdoors International has booked AJ Kissel on MANY great hunts in limited entry units. But since he booked with us, he was able to skip the draw. ## Planning in advance is essential! ### Hoping to draw isn’t a good strategy. It’s much easier, and not that much more expensive to work with an outfitter who offers guaranteed tags (usually about $100-$2,500 more because of the tag cost). Now [we can help you plan in advance and get’r done](https://outdoors-international.com/contact-us/)! ## States that Offer Guaranteed Tags ### A few of the states that offer guaranteed tags, plus hunting on killer ground are New Mexico, Idaho, Colorado and Utah. - You can purchase tags directly from landowners in Utah, Colorado and New Mexico. - Idaho the outfitters receive *“outfitter allocated tags*” and to get one you have to book a guided hunt. Tags in Idaho are ILLEGAL (as of now) to sell or buy. - Utah recently implemented their tax deductible [Conservation Tag Program](https://outdoors-international.com/utah-conservation-tag-program/). ## Building Points ### The points needed to draw are often creeping by a point every year. It’s a running horse that many will not catch. I think, long term, your better off applying in state that isn’t doing the points system. Your chance to draw sooner is more likely because of lack of participation. The only time we recommend clients to participate in the points system is when a unit only takes a few points to draw (this is common in Colorado, [Wyoming](https://outdoors-international.com/wyoming-preference-points/) and [New Mexico](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-increase-your-new-mexico-nonresident-elk-draw-odds/)). Well, there you have it. **[Let us know](https://outdoors-international.com/contact-us/) if we can be helpful in your quest to hunt *“exclusive”* ground for elk and deer.** With enough advanced notice (often 1-2 years) you can have a guaranteed hunt for a reasonable price in the top end areas of the west. ### Outdoors International can help you skip the draws and book the hunt of a lifetime. As consultants for Outdoors International, [we help hunters plan their hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-application-service/) on a daily basis. This is what we do 24 and 7. In helping clients hunt in exclusive areas, with top end trophy quality, I’m talking 185-200+ muleys and [330-350+ elk](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/elk/).

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!

**Published:** April 26, 2019 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** A 2011 British Columbia Rocky Mountain goat taken by Troy M. Sheldon of Alexandria, KY is the new World Record Mountain Goat, according to B&C. **Content:** The former world record mountain goat was actually a tie between two British Columbia mountain goats, one taken in 1949 and the other in 1999. Both scoring 56-6/8. The new World Record mountain goat surpassed the old mark by a substantial 6/8 of an inch. It is the largest of its species ever recorded, according to the Boone and Crockett Club. Troy M. Sheldon of Alexandria, KY tagged out on the seventh day of [mountain goat hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/goats/mountain-goat/) in the Stikine River area of [British Columbia](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/canada/british-columbia/). He used a Tikka T3 .270 WSM to make a perfect 319-yard shot across a ravine. Following a required drying period and initial scoring, a special [Boone and Crockett](https://www.boone-crockett.org/) judge’s panel verified the goat’s official entry score as a new World’s Record. ## World Record Mountain Goat ### The new B&C world record mountain goat was taken by Troy Sheldon in British Columbia. #### OFFICIAL BOONE AND CROCKETT TROPHY STATS Since 1906, the Boone and Crockett Club’s scoring system has been used to measure the success of [conservation programs across North America](https://outdoors-international.com/shane-mahoney-north-american-wildlife-conservation-model/). The system rewards antler and horn size and symmetry-classic symbols of outstanding habitat, strong recruitment of animals into older age classes, sustainable harvest objectives and other elements of sound wildlife management and fair-chase hunting. **SCORE:** 57 4/8 **LOCATION:** [Stikine River, British Columbia](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-mountain-goat-hunt/) **HUNTER:** Troy M. Sheldon **OWNER:** Troy M. Sheldon **DATE:** 2011 #### KEY MEASUREMENTS: **LENGTH OF HORN:** Right 11 3/8 – Left 11 3/8 **CIRCUMFERENCE OF BASE:** Right 6 4/8 – Left 6 5/8 **GREATEST SPREAD:** 7 1/8 **TIP-TO-TIP SPREAD:** 6 6/8 ### British Columbia is the Gold Standard when it comes to trophy mountain goats. [When it comes to quality, mountain goat hunting in British Columbia is as good as it gets](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-mountain-goats/). *“British Columbia continues to set the standard for Rocky Mountain goats,”* said Eldon Buckner, chairman of Boone and Crockett Club’s Records of North American Big Game Committee. *“The province remains home to more than half of the world’s population and trophy-class specimens have been trending upward each decade since the 1970s. That testifies to the professionalism of the British Columbia Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.”* [ ![A successful mountain goat hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Alaska-Chugach-Mountain-Goat-Hunt-Report1-300x300.jpeg "Alaska Chugach Mountain Goat » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/montana-mountain-goat-hunting/) [ ![Trophy Mountain goat hunt in the Yukon](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/BBCB6-Outdoors-International-Yukon-Canada-Best-Mountain-Goat-Outfitter_0069-300x300.jpeg "BBCB6 Outdoors-International-Yukon-Canada-Best-Mountain-Goat-Outfitter_0069 » Outdoors International")![Yukon mountain goat hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/BBCB6-Outdoors-International-Yukon-Canada-Best-Mountain-Goat-Outfitter_0058-300x300.jpeg "BBCB6 Outdoors-International-Yukon-Canada-Best-Mountain-Goat-Outfitter_0058 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/yukon-mountain-goat-hunt/) [ ![Alaska Mountain Goat Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Pacific-Mountain-Guides-Mountain-Goat-6-1-300x300.jpg "Alaska Unit 6 Prince William Sound Mountain-Goat PMG » Outdoors International")![A Kodiak Island mountain goat hunt is truly an exceptional experience!](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/kodiak-island-mountain-goat-hunt-RE2-300x300.jpg "kodiak-island-mountain-goat-hunt-RE2 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-mountain-goat-hunt/) [ ![British Columbia mountain goat hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/BBCB-British-Columbia-Mountain-Goat-300x300.jpeg "BBCB-British-Columbia-Mountain-Goat » Outdoors International")![British Columbia Mountain Goat Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/IMG_9449_97213bc3-b211-4c81-ba3c-bbd8517cea95_1024x10242x-e1664289045841-300x300.jpeg "British Columbia mountain goat hunt LWO » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-mountain-goat-hunt/) [ Ask About Mountain Goat Hunting in BC ](#more-information) ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

You need a good layering system. Wind chill will get ya when you are trying to glass on top of that rim rock. During the day it can get hotter than Hades. Make sure you can strip down to very minimal clothing by mid morning and into the day. Be prepared for lots of wind… don’t forget your chapstick and sunscreen. 2. **Aoudads are a busy animal:** Many times we spot them only because they move. It’s amazing how well they blend in. Because they are a busy critter we often found that once we made our move and lost sight of them, we peeked over where they should have been and they had covered a 1,000 yards or more since we saw them last. Plan your stalk so you can check in on them regularly as your sneaking in, move quickly if possible. 3. **Long range shooting bow or rifle:** Aoudads are doable with a bow, but the stars have to align and you’ll likely need multiple opportunities. [Practice long range shooting and extreme down hill angles](https://outdoors-international.com/long-range-shooting-courses/) as that is likely what your shot opportunity will be. As far as rifles, I like the 300 Win or something close. They are tough. The shots can be long and there is a lot of wind that will push lighter calibers around. You should be proficient out to 300 minimum and the longer the better. 4. **Javelina:** [Javelina are a blast](https://outdoors-international.com/javelina-hunting-harder-than-expected/) to sneak in on and there are a lot of them in the Davis Mountains of West Texas. If you hunt both rifle and bow, bring both. 5. **Physical preparation:** This is not a hunt to come on when you are out of shape. [You should be training](https://outdoors-international.com/train-to-hunt-no-shape-to-elk-shape-week-1/) before you come or your chances of success will go down substantially. Help your outfitter help you by being in shape when you show up. ![Free range aoudad hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/K9CO2-New-Mexico-Aoudad-Hunt-20211211_162847-1020x765.jpg "K9CO2 New Mexico Aoudad Hunt 20211211_162847 » Outdoors International") ## Have the Right Gear - **Boots:** One of the most important pieces of [aoudad hunting gear](https://outdoors-international.com/aoudad-hunting-gear-list/) are your boots. Spare no expense on your hunting boots and have them broken in. These animals live in tough, rocky, nasty country. I like the Kenetrek Mountain Extreme, [Hoffman Boots](https://outdoors-international.com/hoffman-boots/), or Lathrop & Sons. - **Bino’s:** Bring the highest quality binoculars![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=3d7c1d6d01517ecf30f0480312c360c3&_cb=1549902155371) you can afford. You will do a lot of glassing. Bad bino’s will make your effectiveness *much* lower. These critters are tough to spot. I suggest bringing a spotting scope![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=89f17a1486a69a2a857b8d1f7cfa2766&_cb=1549902172570) as well, your guide may not have a good one. It’ll save a lot of walking if your wanting to get a big one. I like Vortex Optics for the budget hunter. I’m a Swarovski fan for the guy that can afford them. - **Range Finders:** Because of the extreme angles that are very likely in your shot opportunities, it’s important to have a good rangefinder![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=093ee03a2f14987625bc4c6007cfba25&_cb=1551813533181). - **First Aid Kit:** Make sure you have a medical kit![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=5b019dc5db8deab77413945aed3f117f&_cb=1549902207348) you pack along with you. Your Outfitter should have one as well, but it never hurts to be prepared. This is rough, tough country and you need to be prepared to take care of yourself if necessary. Many of these hunts will be multiple hours on dirt from the closest town.

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

(Ovis) --- ### [How to Hunt Mountain Goats](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-hunt-mountain-goats/) **Published:** June 23, 2022 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** So you've either drawn a tag, or booked a goat hunt with an outfitter. Now you have to learn how to hunt mountain goats... **Content:** So you’ve[ researched where to hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/where-to-hunt-mountain-goat/) and either drawn a mountain goat tag, purchased an over the counter tag or booked a goat hunt with an outfitter. Now you have to learn how to hunt mountain goats and get into peak physical shape. People call goats the poor man’s [sheep hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/ovis/), and for good reason. I have [hunted sheep and mountain goats,](https://outdoors-international.com/capra-world-slam/) and I can honestly say that they are both incredibly demanding. However, goats definitely take the cake for living in rougher terrain. Almost every year a few [mountain goat](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-draw-a-mountain-goat-tag/) hunters die from falls, hypothermia and exposure. ## How to Hunt Mountain Goats ### Hiring an outfitter should be seriously considered. [ ![A successful mountain goat hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Alaska-Chugach-Mountain-Goat-Hunt-Report1-300x300.jpeg "Alaska Chugach Mountain Goat » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/montana-mountain-goat-hunting/) [ ![Trophy Mountain goat hunt in the Yukon](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/BBCB6-Outdoors-International-Yukon-Canada-Best-Mountain-Goat-Outfitter_0069-300x300.jpeg "BBCB6 Outdoors-International-Yukon-Canada-Best-Mountain-Goat-Outfitter_0069 » Outdoors International")![Yukon mountain goat hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/BBCB6-Outdoors-International-Yukon-Canada-Best-Mountain-Goat-Outfitter_0058-300x300.jpeg "BBCB6 Outdoors-International-Yukon-Canada-Best-Mountain-Goat-Outfitter_0058 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/yukon-mountain-goat-hunt/) [ ![Alaska Mountain Goat Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Pacific-Mountain-Guides-Mountain-Goat-6-1-300x300.jpg "Alaska Unit 6 Prince William Sound Mountain-Goat PMG » Outdoors International")![A Kodiak Island mountain goat hunt is truly an exceptional experience!](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/kodiak-island-mountain-goat-hunt-RE2-300x300.jpg "kodiak-island-mountain-goat-hunt-RE2 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-mountain-goat-hunt/) [ ![British Columbia mountain goat hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/BBCB-British-Columbia-Mountain-Goat-300x300.jpeg "BBCB-British-Columbia-Mountain-Goat » Outdoors International")![British Columbia Mountain Goat Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/IMG_9449_97213bc3-b211-4c81-ba3c-bbd8517cea95_1024x10242x-e1664289045841-300x300.jpeg "British Columbia mountain goat hunt LWO » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-mountain-goat-hunt/) ### Get in shape! #### Read that again. And once more. Don’t get me wrong, I think anyone who is focused and committed can successfully go [mountain goat hunting,](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/goats/mountain-goat/) but you MUST get yourself in shape. This can be overwhelming to a lot of people, especially if you are not an experienced backcountry/mountain hunter. However, most people who don’t live and hunt this type of terrain on a regular basis, and just don’t realize how much [preparation goes into this type of hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/the-bucket-list/). ![Gary Colbath with a mountain goat he shot on Kodiak Island in Alaska. It died in a near vertical chute. Good thing he's in shape.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Gary-Colbath-Archery-Mountain-Goat-Alaska-Kodiak-Island-RE-oitaggedout-1020x673.jpeg "Gary-Colbath-Archery-Mountain-Goat-Alaska-Kodiak-Island RE oitaggedout » Outdoors International")Gary Colbath with a mountain goat he shot on Kodiak Island in Alaska. It died in a near vertical chute. Good thing he’s in shape.### The right gear is essential for a mountain goat hunt. You are probably going to spend hours pouring over topo-maps![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=c168bb1cdd88e4752de818dede4cd983&_cb=1594126869535), google earth, talking to wildlife biologists, game wardens, past hunters, reading hunt reports, figuring out logistics, scouting, etc, etc. But another big piece of the puzzle is figuring out what gear and equipment you need. We highly recommend you do your due diligence [researching our recommended gear list for a mountain goat hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/mountain-goat-hunting-gear-list/). ![Glassing for mountain goats](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/british-columbia-mountain-goat-hunters-glassing-mountains-snow-hiking-guide-BBCB1-1020x680.jpeg "british columbia mountain goat hunters glassing mountains snow hiking guide BBCB1 » Outdoors International") ### Get ready to spend hours glassing. Like most [mountain hunts, a mountain goat hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/where-to-hunt-mountain-goat/) is a spot and stalk situation. The only difference is that you’ll typically glassing UP towards them instead of from a higher perch. This is because goat country is steep. Very, very steep. And they live on top. Getting above them is just too risky. Luckily, unless there is snow, they are fairly easy to spot when compared to other [big game](https://outdoors-international.com/super-slam-of-north-american-big-game/) species. During the morning and evenings, they will move up into the wind-swept cliff faces, open bowls or basins to feed. So, if you’re hunting an area with thick timber, be sure to be glassing the open/rocky country during these times. ![Where to Hunt Mountain Goat](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/mountain-goat-3790690_1920.jpg "mountain goat-live » Outdoors International") ### Learn how to tell a nanny from a billy. Most hunters get caught up on [learning how to field judge a mountain goat](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-mountain-goats/), and yes, that’s important, but the difference in a good goat and [a huge one](https://outdoors-international.com/world-record-mountain-goat/) really isn’t that much. Learning how to tell a male from a female is more important. Both males and females have horns, and it is somewhat difficult to discern between the two. In fact, many wildlife departments allow the taking of nannies. They encourage hunters to avoid nannies and in many cases require an orientation course on sex identification, yet nannies are still mistakenly taken.![How to tell a billy from a nanny](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/How-to-tell-a-billy-from-a-nanny.png "How to tell a billy from a nanny » Outdoors International") #### Adult Billy - Larger horn base, usually wider than the eye. - Bases are closer together. - Horn is heavy throughout its length. - Horn has gradual curve. #### Adult Nanny - Wider space between horns. - Horn is thin throughout its length. - Horn is straighter with most of the curve near the end. - Smaller born base- equal to or smaller than the eye. ### Once you spot a good billy, it’s time for a brutal stalk (usually). The [mountain goat](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-mountain-goat-hunt/) will probably be high above you in the cliffs, so strap on your crampons and start climbing. They’re used to threats from below, so try to stay out of sight, but that can be difficult. Because of this, long shots are the norm. If you’re a bowhunter you’re going to have to try to get above him. If you do get above him, he probably won’t even look up, but that doesn’t mean it’ll be easy. Nothing panics a [mountain goat](https://outdoors-international.com/where-to-hunt-mountain-goat/) like a threat from above. Good luck, and bring along some climbing equipment. You’ll likely need it. ### Retrieving your mountain goat is often the most difficult part of the hunt. ![Mountain Goat Shot Placement](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Mountain-Goat-Shot-Placement.jpg "Mountain-Goat-Shot-Placement » Outdoors International")Mountain goats are notoriously tough. Hit them well!NEVER shoot at a goat unless you’re confident that you’ll be able to reach it. And don’t expect to drop him in his tracks. Mountain goats are notoriously difficult to anchor and often take a death run over a cliff, even if you hit them perfectly. If he stays on his feet after the first round, put another one in him as quickly as possible. Keep shooting until he is anchored firmly to the earth. Now you need to worry about him rolling down the mountain into oblivion and breaking off his horns in the process. A bit of luck is involved here. So, in short, use some wisdom before you pull the trigger. ### Luckily a good taxidermist can fix a broken horn. I’ve seen them fix bullet holes and even cast a completely new horn that looks just as good as Mother Nature made it originally. That said, it’s easier (and cheaper) to just hit them well and anchor them on the spot to so you don’t have to deal with that. ## So, are you ready to go mountain goat hunting?

I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

List](https://outdoors-international.com/mountain-goat-hunting-gear-list/) **Published:** July 10, 2022 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** If you stick to this mountain goat hunting gear list, you’ll have everything you need on your hunt. If you’re on a guided hunt, your outfitter will provide a Satellite phone, or an Inreach for emergencies, and a first aid kit. Also, food, stove, fuel, water filters and tents will be provided on a guided hunt. **Content:** If you stick to this mountain goat hunting gear list, you’ll have everything you need on your hunt. If you’re on a [guided goat hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/goats/mountain-goat/), your outfitter will most likely provide a Satellite phone, or an [InReach](https://outdoors-international.com/garmin-inreach-mini/) for emergencies, and a first aid kit. Also, food, stove, fuel, water filters and tents will be provided on a guided hunt. ## Mountain Goat Hunting Gear List ### Clothing #### Do not take cotton! Use synthetic or wool clothing ONLY. - **Good, sturdy mountain boots:** We recommend Lowa Hunter EVO, Scarpa Wrangell, La Sportiva Glacier, Kenetrek, Hoffman, Zamberlan, Lathrop and Sons. Please DO NOT show up with brand new boots, break them in. Even if it is just wearing them for a few weeks in your daily routine. - **Socks:** 3 pairs high quality wool socks. - **Sock Liners:** 3 pair Wigwam Gobis®™ - **Duct Tape:** 1 – 10 feet of Duct tape VERY IMPORTANT!! Apply Duct tape (regular duct tape, not gorilla tape or other thicker brands) to any “hot spot” or sore area; directly to your skin, BEFORE you get blisters. This is a proven method, far superior to moleskin or other blister remedies. Blisters can ruin your hunt, DO NOT wait for a convenient location to stop, do it as soon as you feel anything uncomfortable. - **Long Underwear:** (light weight) 1 top, 1 bottom; wool or synthetic - **Long Underwear:** (mid-weight) 1 top, 1 bottom; wool or synthetic - **Pants:** 1 pair durable synthetic or Schoeller fabric equivalent. - **Shirt:** (midweight) 1 Long sleeve, wool or synthetic. - **Jacket:** Fleece - **Rain Gear:** Lightweight jacket and pants or bibs. - **Overcoat:** Synthetic parka with hood. - **Gloves:** 1 pair heavy wool or fleece, and 1 pair lightweight. - **Hat:** wool or fleece #### Remember, on most Mountain Hunts you’ll be on the move, might even be spiking out, and you’ll want to go light. You may have other items on this list that you want to bring. Please bring anything you think you may need but remember the highest luxury on a [mountain hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-mountain-goat-hunt/) is lightweight. [Keeping your pack light](https://outdoors-international.com/backpacking-gear-list/) for day trips or hikes to spike camps will make your hunt much easier and more enjoyable than any heavy luxury item you may desire. If you show up with a very heavy load, your guide will likely have a culling session with you and your gear. Any items that are not needed in spike camps may be left at a base camp. - **Headlamp** - **Gaiters:** 1 pair of Outdoor Research gaiters or equivalent. - **Waders:** Gore Tex fly fishing waders with high quality wading boots (important for crossing shallow streams on hunts in Alaska). - **Water Bottles:** 2 32 oz. H2O Bottles - **Sleeping pad:** 1 Thermarest Ridgerest or Neo Air. - **Sleeping Bag:** 0°ƒ Synthetic filled mummy bag. - **Binoculars:** 10×42 - **UV Sunglasses** - **Cap** - **Trekking poles** - **Backpack:** frame or internal frame pack 5,500 cubic inches. - **Lightweight Dry Bags:** For safely storing your gear. - **Kahtoola Microspikes** - **Game Bags** - **Handheld GPS Unit** - **Camera:** Most hunters just use their camera nowadays. - **Rangefinder** - **Lens Cleaner** - **1 Liter Water Bottle** - **Bic Lighter** - **Knife** - **Multi-tool** - **Spotting Scope with Tripod** - **Rubber Gloves** (optional) ### Misc. Equipment - **Hunting License, Permit Paperwork, and Locking Tag** (if needed in [the area you’re goat hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/where-to-hunt-mountain-goat/)) - **Travel clothes** - **Taxidermist shipping tags** - **Camp shoes** - **Toiletries:** medication, toothbrush, small toothpaste, sunscreen, sunglasses etc. ![Mountain Goat on a glacier](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Mountain-Goat-hunting-in-Alaska-with-Rogue-Expeditions-2-e1657549249436.jpg "Mountain-Goat-hunting-Alaska-RE2 » Outdoors International") ### Don’t Forget Cash for Tips #### A tip is a reward for a job well done. It is considered customary in the guiding industry as it is in the restaurant industry. Please tip on the effort of your guide, not necessarily the quality of your trophy. A tip of 10% is standard for a good job, slightly less for a satisfactory job. If you feel your guide has done a very poor job, do not tip them, and discuss it with your outfitter. Please feel free to openly discuss [tipping with your guide](https://outdoors-international.com/tips-guide/). Most guides use the best equipment they can afford at their income level. Cash is generally preferred but if you want to use an item (rifle, binoculars, clothing etc) as a tip or portion of a tip please discuss it with your guide first. ### Shooting Practice #### Set a self imposed yardage limit based upon your shooting ability that you are confident you can hit an 8” circle 99% of the time in hunting conditions. Share this limit with your guide, stick to that limit. You can almost always get closer with some effort. There are many variables in mountain hunting; wind, shot angle, and animal movements make [long range shooting](https://outdoors-international.com/long-range-shooting-courses/) extremely unpredictable. If you arrive with a limit of 800 yards and have less than 5 years of service with Spec Ops or a sniper team, your guide will impose a realistic limit for you (likely around 400 yards) Make every possible effort for clean, first shot kill. Long range shooting classes are highly recommended but do not make up for thousands of rounds of real world practice required to shoot extreme distances.) ## booking YOUR mountain goat hunt With a wide range of mountain goat hunts available ranging from over-the-counter and conservation tags to controlled hunt permits that you must draw, we can help you through the entire process.

We won this fully guided, all-inclusive New Zealand red stag hunt in the OI Draw! I highly recommend this hunt, and Outdoors International—fantastic company, amazing meals, and hunts that are second to none. **Brandon Ball** / OI Draw Winner ![Brye with his awesome kudu bull](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Brye-Mangum-Africa-Hunt-Winner-Trip-Report9.jpeg "Brye-Mangum-Africa-Hunt-Winner-Trip-Report9 » Outdoors International") ### I’m so grateful for the opportunity! Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH’s and their awesome staff. I made some new friends and will be back to Africa again 100%. **Brye Mangum** / OI Draw Winner ![Impala](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Dason-Lasiter-Client-South-Africa-Plains-Game-Hunt-Winner-DWHS-Archery-impala.jpg "Dason Lasiter Client South Africa Plains Game Hunt Winner DWHS Archery impala » Outdoors International") ### My most memorable and rewarding experience. This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

you’re a backcountry DIY hunter, you’re going to want to quickly break an animal down into manageable pieces and get it cooled down. The best way to do that is called the gutless method. **Content:** If you’re a backcountry DIY hunter, you’re going to want to quickly break an animal down into manageable pieces and get it cooled down. The best way to do that is called the gutless method. - It’s fast, and also keeps your meat cleaner. - Be sure to check regulations to make sure it’s legal in your unit. - When it comes to the skin, you have two different options: You can leave the skin on the quarters, which is the cleanest route, but if you’re needing to pack it out, you’ll need to eliminate as much weight as possible. ## Gutless Field Dressing Method ![Gutless Field Dressing Method - Step 1](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Gutless-Method-step-1.jpg "Gutless-Method-step-1 » Outdoors International") ### **STEP 1** ### The first step of the gutless method is to cut around the top of the front and back legs, just above the knee. ### Then open the skin by slicing up the leg, across the midsection about halfway up, and down to the other leg cut. ![Gutless Field Dressing Method - Step 2](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Gutless-Method-step-2.jpg "Gutless-Method-step-2 » Outdoors International") ### **STEP 2** ### Extend the cut up the bottom of the neck to the skull so you can get to the neck meat. ### Now skin the entire side up to and slightly past the top of the back. Don’t waste valuable time skinning the belly section. ![Gutless Method - Step 3](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Gutless-Method-step-3.jpg "Gutless-Method-step-3 » Outdoors International") ### **STEP 3** ### Next, remove the front shoulder by simply slicing between the ribcage and the shoulder until it comes free. ### Slip the quarter into a game bag and lay it in the shade on a couple logs so the air can circulate and cool it down. ![Gutless Field Dressing Method - Step 4](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Gutless-Method-step-4.jpg "Gutless-Method-step-4 » Outdoors International") ### **STEP 4** ### Now remove the hindquarter by slicing along the pelvis in a circular pattern around the base then lift the hindquarter and locate the hip socket. ![Gutless Field Dressing Method - Step 5](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Gutless-Method-step-5.jpg "Gutless-Method-step-5 » Outdoors International") ### **STEP 5** ### An inexpensive, lightweight, simple game harvesting kit with everything you need to efficiently process your animal, and stay clean doing it. Staying clean is one of the best perks of the gutless method of field dressing.

It really makes the process go faster to have someone hold and pull on the legs or skin for you. ### A helper is also invaluable for getting quarters in the game bags. That can be quite a struggle by yourself. ![Gutless Method - Step 7](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Gutless-Method-step-8.jpg "Gutless-Method-step-8 » Outdoors International") ### **STEP 7** ### Use the tip of your knife (we use [Havalon](https://snp.link/a901b6cb)![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=abf24923247cb1fef069ccde8f24771e&_cb=1551478292523)) to cut the main tendon inside the socket. Remove the hindquarter and bag it. ### Be sure to leave evidence of sex (testicle) where evidence of sex required. [ ![Havalon Knives](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Havalon-Knives-BrandBanner-1020x399.jpeg "Havalon-Knives BrandBanner » Outdoors International") ](https://snp.link/a901b6cb) ![Gutless Field Dressing Method - Step 8](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Gutless-Method-step-9.jpg "Gutless-Method-step-9 » Outdoors International") ### **STEP 8** ### Next, remove the [back straps](https://outdoors-international.com/bear-tenderloin-recipe/) by slicing along the spinous process bones straight down to where the ribs attach to the spine. Slide your knife along the top of the ribs and meet up with your first cut. ![Gutless Method - Step 9](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Gutless-Method-step-10.jpg "Gutless-Method-step-10 » Outdoors International") ### **STEP 9** ### Run these cuts as far up the neck as you can then bag the backstrap, along with all the trimmings (neck, hip, and rib meat) from the entire topside of your animal. ![Gutless Method - Step 10](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Gutless-Method-step-12.jpg "Gutless-Method-step-12 » Outdoors International") ### **STEP 10** ### Now carefully cut into the body cavity along the spine just behind the last rib. You can use a saw to disconnect the last rib to give you more room to work. ### The final step of the gutless method is to reach in and filet out the [tenderloin](https://outdoors-international.com/bear-tenderloin-recipe/), which lies under the spine. Be very careful not to nick the stomach. ## Now simply flip the skin back down over the carcass, roll your animal over and repeat the process on the other side. ![When you process a moose in Alaska, you have to take ALL of the meat. And in some units you have to take the bones too. Our bull was clean as a whistle when we were done. We used the gutless method.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Cleaning-Moose-Boning-Eskimo-Quarter-Cory-Glauner-Alaska-Unguided.jpg "Cleaning Moose Boning Eskimo Quarter Cory Glauner Alaska Unguided » Outdoors International")When you’re done, all that should be left is bones and guts.### That’s all there is to the gutless method of field dressing. Easy right? - Don’t forget to get the rib meat, brisket and neck meat. Waste as little as possible. - If you’re packing your animal out on your back you’ll usually need to “bone” the meat to save weight. - With a little practice you can bone a hindquarter in less than a minute. - The front shoulder takes a little more work. Just remove the muscle groups from the scapula and bone out the lower legs and throw in the trimming pile. - Boning is also the quickest way to get the body heat out of the meat. ## Gutless Method How-to Video ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

secret that every hunter with a pulse loves to deer hunt during the rut. But you can have just as much success in the early season and post-rut. **Content:** It’s no secret that every deer hunter with a pulse loves to hunt the rut. The unfortunate truth is that when you’re [booking a guided deer hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/whitetail-deer/ "Book a guided deer hunt"), there is always going to be a limited number of spots available during that coveted piece of the season. However, you can have just as much success in the early season and post-rut as well if you take planning your deer hunt seriously. ## planning a Successful deer hunt ### Six things to think about that will increase your odds of taking a trophy buck throughout the coming deer season. #### 1. Don’t leave your rattling antlers at home during the early season. Most bucks, young and old, will lightly spar with each other in the months leading up to the rut. Rather than smashing the rattling antlers![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=b76725bf270237aadf59d33854ad20fe&_cb=1549920596354) together in a way that imitates an all out battle, try a soft rattle with minimal pressure. This will draw the attention and curiosity of bucks that are either out of range or wandering by. #### 2. Once the rut kicks off, forget about focusing on a big buck’s home turf. In the midst of chasing does, many bucks will leave their base area for days on end, sometimes weeks. When planning your deer hunt, you need to change your focus and follow the does during the peak of the rut. Keep your eyes open for any chasing activity. If you can locate a hot doe, take a note of the area she’s in because chances are there will be a variety of bucks coming into that area to check her out. ![Trevor Brittingham with Indigo](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/286177_141367699355656_88863_o.jpg "Patagonia-Chile-Fly-Fishing-Remote-Luxury-Camp-3.jpg » Outdoors International")The author with his hard earned Texas monster.#### 3. Look for larger than average scrapes. Bucks of all sizes will share a central scrape in heavily traveled areas, and these are great spots to catch big bucks as they refresh the area with their scent. The prime scrapes will often have a licking branch and will be surrounded by numerous smaller (average) scrapes. #### 4. Don’t be afraid to use calls, scents, and decoys. The peak of the rut is the best time to break out whatever new [deer hunting gear](https://outdoors-international.com/deer-hunting-gear-list/) and tricks the hunting industry has to offer. There is about a two week period when using scents![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=565b5055cecfc70136609915c018a036&_cb=1549920552700) and decoys![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=dafaa41109affe33b401b5055b864286&_cb=1549920572649) in conjunction with grunt![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=d10cd6e5dacdeb00b1fd8b608d5b8059&_cb=1549920620113) and snort-wheeze calls![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=b16326ab413b0a26bfbfab858f8fddbb&_cb=1549920636831) can be extremely effective. The biggest, smartest rutting bucks get angry and stupid when challenged by a snort-wheeze or grunt. Combine that with a realistic decoy that has been wiped of human scent and covered in doe or buck urine![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=f85c15459b62b3d857a2256dbedff531&_cb=1549920678118) (depending on the decoy). It’s a deadly combination! #### 5. Many hunters who’ve gone through the rut unsuccessful will hang up their gear and call it a year. Don’t! About a month after peak rut, the does that didn’t get bred will cycle back into another estrous. It’s a short window and not near as aggressive, but you can still use rut tactics to harvest big bucks during this time. A few weeks after this second estrous cycle, you’ll have another chance. Last spring’s doe fawns will go into a minor estrous cycle, and bucks will show some rutting activity again. I shot one [one of the best bucks of my life](https://outdoors-international.com/final-hunt-for-indigo/) in [Texas](https://outdoors-international.com/texas-deer-hunting/) after the rut. #### 6. When it comes to planning your deer hunt, don’t rule out booking a hunt just because you can’t get in during the rut. The rut is certainly a favorite for most hunters, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it is truly the best hunting. It’s not uncommon for outfitters to take as many big bucks before and after the rut as during the rut. Early [season makes for more pattern-able bucks and late](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-late-season-bulls-in-new-mexico/) season offers some rutting activity. Late season also allows hunters to have a better grasp on where bucks are hanging out. Happy Hunting! Trevor Brittingham ## Book a Hunt ### If you’re interested in booking a deer hunt, let us know.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won! We won this fully guided, all-inclusive New Zealand red stag hunt in the OI Draw! I highly recommend this hunt, and Outdoors International—fantastic company, amazing meals, and hunts that are second to none. **Brandon Ball** / OI Draw Winner ![Brye with his awesome kudu bull](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Brye-Mangum-Africa-Hunt-Winner-Trip-Report9.jpeg "Brye-Mangum-Africa-Hunt-Winner-Trip-Report9 » Outdoors International") ### I’m so grateful for the opportunity! Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH’s and their awesome staff. I made some new friends and will be back to Africa again 100%. **Brye Mangum** / OI Draw Winner ![Impala](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Dason-Lasiter-Client-South-Africa-Plains-Game-Hunt-Winner-DWHS-Archery-impala.jpg "Dason Lasiter Client South Africa Plains Game Hunt Winner DWHS Archery impala » Outdoors International") ### My most memorable and rewarding experience. This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-joseph-russo-beceite-ibex-hunt-in-spain/) **Published:** May 17, 2017 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Great hunt! I highly recommend it. Mat was always a text or phone call away, and even called to check on me in the middle of my hunt. **Content:** [Beceite Ibex Hunt in Spain](https://outdoors-international.com/spanish-ibex-hunt/) April, 2017 I had just returned from the [SCI Convention](https://safariclub.org/category/convention/) in Las Vegas and had made preliminary arrangements to [hunt ibex in Spain](https://outdoors-international.com/the-spanish-ibex-grand-slam/) with another outfitter. Upon coming home to finalize the trip, it was evident that I was dealing with a bait-and-switch outfitter. I have been hunting for a long time, and told him what I thought of him. I contacted Outdoors International after surfing the internet. I had a small window to go, and we were able to put an [ibex hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/ibex/) together in a short time with his outfitter in Spain. I arrived at the airport in [Spain](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/europe/spain/) after 20 minutes of waiting and pickup, I called [my OI Hunting Consultant](https://outdoors-international.com/about-us/). He told me to hold tight, then called me back telling me they were at the other end of the airport. Within five minutes, I was on my way. My Consultant was always a text or a phone call away. He also texted me in the middle of my hunt to see how things were working out. Food and drink were excellent. Hotel was great as well. I elected to rent a [rifle for the hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/long-range-shooting-for-central-asian-hunts/) as opposed to bringing my own, and I was pleasantly surprised with a Blaser topped with a Swarovski scope. They also had Swaro binos with built in rangefinder![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=6276d8e6c6c718425a39fdd9a3914415&_cb=1567532498347). Good stuff…these guys were serious! The first day of hunting produced females and immature billies. On the second day, at 7:00 AM we had a good [ibex](https://outdoors-international.com/capra-world-slam/) spotted and put a stalk on him, but he disappeared. At 8PM, [we found a shooter with a band of three other billies](https://outdoors-international.com/struck-by-lighting-in-kazakhstan/) across from us on another mountain. I took a 400 yard shot, and it went down. It took us two hours to get over to it. **Great hunt and I highly recommend it and Outdoors International.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Ibex Hunt Report and Podcast](https://outdoors-international.com/bezoar-ibex-hunt-in-taurus-mountains-of-turkey/) **Published:** April 19, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Two of the three of us went home with nice Ibex but I had 100% opportunity to do the same; the guides did their part. With decades of experience, the outfitter knows what he is doing. **Content:** [Bezoar Ibex Hunt in Turkey](https://outdoors-international.com/bezoar-ibex-hunting-in-turkey/) March, 2018 Turkey is a truly fantastic location for your Bezoar Ibex hunt; safe but adventurous. Three of us were hunting Ibex in Turkey, hosted by Outdoors International. We arrived in Istanbul, Turkey and transferred to Adana where or guides cleared our rifles at customs and off we went to our nice mountain hotel to rest before our [Bezoar ibex hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/capra-world-slam/) started in the morning. We all went to three different mountain areas, tested our rifles and then [Mark tagged out on day one](https://outdoors-international.com/mark-chapmans-bezoar-ibex-hunt-report/). On the Second Day it was My Turn I myself got excited and [took an unsteady shot at 350 yards](https://outdoors-international.com/long-range-shooting-for-central-asian-hunts/)…hit a giant 45 inch plus ibex at high leg and shattered it. Sad and embarrassed to say, we chased him for two days but he could hobble faster than we could climb a mountain (listen to the podcast above for the whole [ibex hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/ibex/) story). So for the first time in my life I wounded and never recovered my quarry. Two of the three of us went home with nice Ibex, but I had 100% opportunity to do the same; the guides did their part. With decades of experience, the outfitter knows what he is doing. Turkey is a Safe Place to Hunt. People have worries about [hunting in Turkey](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/asia/turkey/) because it is a Muslim country and they watch too much CNN. But as I travel the world for a living I have spent much time in Iraq, Kuwait, Jordan, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan etc, I had zero worries in Turkey. Never did we feel in danger of any kind, as a matter of fact my hunting companion left his iPhone in a street restaurant and they chased us down to return it to us! All of the people we interacted with were very friendly and always helpful with a smile and a hot cup of Chai tea![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=b536dd749fa9f5dd7fd14a8105ec2ad7&_cb=1567550452782). - **How would you rate your trip overall?** We had a guide and two forest officials with us on [our Bezoar ibex hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/marco-polo-hunting-tajikistan/). Very professional outfitter. Great vehicles. Guide could use better spotting scopes, so I advise bringing one yourself. - **How were your guide(s)?** Good - **How was your food and lodging?** Good - **How was your outfitters communication?** Great - **How physically demanding was your trip?** Difficult - **Would you book another trip with Outdoors International in the future?** Yes [ ![Spanish Ibex Hunting in Spain](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/OI-Endorsed-Spanish-Ibex-Hunting-Outfitters-300x300.jpg "Spanish Ibex Hunting in Spain » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/spanish-ibex-hunt/) [ ![Sindh Ibex Hunt in Pakistan](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Pakistan-Sindh-Ibex-Hunting-ARQ8-Linda-Ibex-3-300x300.jpg "Pakistan Sindh Ibex Hunting ARQ8 Linda Ibex 3 » Outdoors International")![Pakistan Sindh Ibex Hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Pakistan-Sindh-Ibex-Hunting-ARQ8-AG4A6562-300x300.jpg "Pakistan Sindh Ibex Hunting ARQ8Pakistan Sindh Ibex Hunting » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/pakistan-sindh-ibex-hunting/) [ ![Tajikistan Pamir Ibex Hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Tajikistan-Pamir-Ibex-Hunting-3-ARQ1-300x300.jpg "Tajikistan Pamir Ibex Hunting ARQ1 » Outdoors International")![Tajikistan Pamir Ibex Hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Tajikistan-Pamir-Ibex-Hunting-ARQ1-copy-300x300.jpg "Tajikistan Pamir Ibex Hunting ARQ1 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/tajikistan-pamir-ibex-hunting/) [ ![Bezoar Ibex Hunting in Turkey](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Bezoar-Ibex-Hunt-in-Turkey-GHA-Gonye-Hunting-Activities-2-300x300.jpg "Bezoar-Ibex-Hunt-Turkey-GHA » Outdoors International")![A big Anatolian Bezoar Ibex](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/gonye-turkey-anatolian-bezoar-ibex-12-e1684848277898-300x300.jpg "turkey-anatolian-bezoar-ibex-GHA » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/bezoar-ibex-hunting-in-turkey/) [ ![Max DeMarco with a giant ibex he hunted in Kyrgyzstan](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Max-DeMarco-client-Kyrgyzstan-Mid-Asian-Ibex-Hunt-3-300x300.jpg "Max DeMarco client Kyrgyzstan Mid Asian Ibex Hunt 3 » Outdoors International")![Ibex hunting in Kyrgyzstan](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/uploads-oint/2018/11/Mid-Asian-Ibex-Hunting-in-Kyrgyzstan-AMO-3-e1615898730139-300x300.jpg "Mid-Asian-Ibex-Hunting-Kyrgyzstan-AMO » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/kyrgyzstan-ibex-hunt/) ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

Turkey --- ### [John Labanc: New Zealand Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/john-labanc-new-zealand-hunt-report/) **Published:** May 22, 2025 **Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** ### [Guided Tahr, and Chamois Combo Hunt in New Zealand](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/south-pacific/new-zealand/) Susan (my wife) and I arrived at the hunting lodge after four days of [sightseeing](https://outdoors-international.com/adventure/outdoor-photography/) on the beautiful South Island of [New Zealand](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/south-pacific/new-zealand/). The lodge was beautiful and comfortable. The food was prepared by professionally trained chefs and worth the trip even if I had not been hunting. After settling into the lodge, my assigned guide, Logan, and I drove to the [Tahr hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/new-zealand-tahr-hunting-chamois-combo/) area to glass. I rented a Tikka .308 mounted with a Swarovski 3.5-18x scope with custom elevation turret from 100 yards to 500 yards at 25 yd increments. The next morning Logan and I departed the lodge just before sunrise and drove to hunt tahr. We [spotted the first tahr](https://outdoors-international.com/new-zealand-chamois-hunt/) several ridges and drainages away from our glassing position. Logan and I made a stalk crossing multiple ridges and side hilled chasing tahr. We would spot a tahr, drop down into the drainage a short distance, side hill to the next ridge, pop over the ridge only find they had moved. We kept crossing ridges and side hilling. After crossing four ridges we cliffed out and finally spotted a tahr on a steep cliff at 325 yd. The issues were; can I safely get into a s[table shooting position](https://outdoors-international.com/long-range-shooting-for-central-asian-hunts/); do I have a clear, unobstructed line of sight; can we retrieve the [tahr](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/goats/tahr/)? Logan accepted the risk of retrieval, but it would be unsafe for me to accompany him to retrieve it. The wind was strong with periods of calm. I struggled to get into an awkward prone position. I set the custom elevation turret to 325 yards, set the scope on low power for the widest field of view, acquired the sight picture and waited for the tahr to give me a broadside target. I sent the 165 grain .308 bullet and hit the tahr hard. The surrounding females scattered, the bull staggered a few yards before my second shot hit him in the spine. The tahr tumbled off the cliff into the ravine somersaulting and sliding to the bottom. Logan was able to locate the dead bull at the bottom of the ravine. He retrieved the hide and head, but [it was too dangerous for me to go down](https://outdoors-international.com/world-record-mountain-goat/) for [photos](https://outdoors-international.com/high-fence-elk-hunting-estates/). It took us over 2 hours to climb out of the drainage and back to our side-by-side vehicle. This was an extremely difficult and sketchy hunt, but rewarding. Day three was dedicated to [hunting chamois](https://outdoors-international.com/new-zealand-chamois-hunt/). It was a one hour drive to meet the helicopter. It was a brief and scenic five minute flight into the hunting area taking hours off a hike to the hunting area. We were dropped off beside a creek at the base of the mountain range. We brought camping gear in case we needed to spend a day or two chasing [chamois](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/goats/chamois/) in the mountains. Within minutes of setting up to glass we saw a group of chamois at the top of the mountain grazing along the skyline. The plan was to bush bash up one of the ridges out of sight of the chamois and then sneak a peak over the ridge to spot and locate them again. The ridge was steep and covered with dense ferns, trees and bushes. It was difficult to know where the ground was under the dense ferns. My feet and pack were constantly catching on vegetation and branches. The bush bash was difficult and slow going. Logan scouted about and located a chamois. It was very difficult to find a spot that I could shoot from due to the dense vegetation and steepness. Logan found a flat area on a steep incline. I was able to get into a precarious prone position on the ridge. I had to fight to keep from sliding off the incline. The chamois was feeding 100 yards from our position. It disappeared behind a rock and we lost sight of it. We waited 10 minutes to try to relocate it. Then Logan tapped me on the shoulder. The [chamois was 30 yards behind us](https://outdoors-international.com/outdoors-international-podcast-ty-cameron-new-zealand/) standing on a rock outcropping staring at us. It was stalking us. I would have to take the shot off-hand. While I was slowly turning to face the chamois, my foot slipped and the chamois moved 10 yards and stopped to look at us. I used Logan’s shoulder as a rifle rest. The chamois turned broadside and I shot, hitting it on the shoulder and breaking it. I racked another round and hit it again dropping it. It fell off the rocks into a shallow depression. After retrieving the hide and head, it took us another two hours to bush bash down the mountain to the [helicopter landing zone](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-red-stag-new-zealand/). The physical exertion was challenging, but rewarding. Logan made a fire and we waited around the fire for several hours before the helicopter arrived to fly us out of the mountain range. On day four Logan and I headed out to look for a [red stag](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-red-stag-new-zealand/) or [fallow deer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/fallow-deer/). I was open to either a fallow deer or stag as I was now in the “bonus round” having [harvested a tahr and chamois](https://outdoors-international.com/new-zealand-big-game-what-can-you-hunt-in-new-zealand/). I elected to stalk a fallow deer that had a unique split paddle antler. A small [herd of red stag](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/red-deer/) and [fallow deer were feeding](https://outdoors-international.com/fallow-deer-hunting-in-hungary/) on the hill side on the opposite side of the draw from our glassing spot. I set up on a rock using my pack as a front rest. The deer was ranged at 275 yards with a 10 to 15 mph left to right full value wind. I held slightly behind the shoulder to account for the wind. The shot dropped the deer immediately. New Zealand has magnificent scenery and is a [target rich hunting opportunity](https://outdoors-international.com/argentina-free-range-red-stag-report-by-john-labanc/).

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

Pronghorn Antelope](https://outdoors-international.com/world-record-pronghorn-antelope/) **Published:** August 19, 2021 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** The World Record pronghorn antelope was taken by Mike Gallo in New Mexico in 2013. Gallo has killed the top three pronghorns in New Mexico. **Content:** This amazing buck scores 96 4/8″. The left horn of the new record antelope measures 18 4/8 inches, and the right horn measures 18 3/8 inches. The prongs measure 7 inches on the right and 6 5/8 inches on the left. Gallo is no stranger to the record books. In addition to the world record, he has killed the top three [pronghorn antelope](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/pronghorn/) in New Mexico. The largest antelope ever recorded scored 96 4/8″, taken by Mike Gallo in [New Mexico](https://outdoors-international.com/new-mexico-trophy-antelope-hunts/) in 2013 and currently exhibited in the Boone and Crockett National collection. The minimum score for awards is 80 inches, and for all time is 82 inches. All these scores are net scores after deductions and a 60 days drying period. ## Book a Hunt ### If you’re interested in booking an antelope hunt, let us know. We’d love to help!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

Adventures on the Big Island of Hawaii: Hiking, Hunting, Fishing & More](https://outdoors-international.com/hawaii-big-island/) **Published:** January 15, 2026 **Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** The island of Hawaiʻi stands as the youngest and largest gem in the Hawaiian archipelago, earning its moniker “Big Island” with reason. Its vastness is nothing short of awe-inspiring, being nearly twice the size of all the other Hawaiian Islands combined. Such grandeur is matched only by the diversity it harbors within its boundaries. As you traverse this enchanting land, you’ll encounter a staggering variety of climates, ranging from the lush Wet Tropical zones to the frigid Polar Tundra. This remarkable range is attributed to the presence of two colossal volcanoes, Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, whose shielding effect and elevated heights contribute to the island’s exceptional climatic mélange. [Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park](https://www.hawaiipacificparks.org/national-park-partners/hawaii-volcanoes?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=285474983&gbraid=0AAAAADtlw9mykrFe_px7yUyNVpfXwJgTV&gclid=CjwKCAiAmp3LBhAkEiwAJM2JULVd2oBHrQdo6yFPGr8lyyUYCR-VSCeVROPOf71VGnqgOy65G2rCWRoCCFQQAvD_BwE), a testament to the island’s geological wonders, invites exploration and discovery. Witness the captivating interplay of volcanic landscapes and feel the pulse of the Earth beneath your feet. The snow-capped peaks of Mauna Kea offer a striking contrast to the island’s tropical nature, creating a mesmerizing scene that captivates the senses. Venturing further, you’ll be greeted by the lush valleys of the Hilo and Hāmākua Coasts, vibrant and abundant with life. The gentle embrace of these valleys instills a sense of tranquility that soothes the soul. Yet, even in its gentleness, the island retains its powerful essence, an unwavering reminder of nature’s dominion. [Punaluʻu Beach](https://www.gohawaii.com/islands/hawaii-big-island/regions/kau/punaluu-black-sand-beach) awaits you with its striking jet-black sands, an extraordinary sight that sets it apart from typical coastal landscapes. Here, you’ll marvel at the harmonious dance between the sea and the land, witness to the perpetual cycle of nature’s artistry. In every corner of the island, from its verdant valleys to its fiery volcanoes, nature’s force is palpable, leaving visitors humbled and inspired. Each experience, whether exploring the geological wonders or simply basking in the island’s natural beauty, is bound to leave an indelible mark on your heart. So, embrace the splendor of the island of Hawaiʻi in your own way, for it is a place like no other, where the power of nature reigns supreme, and its grandeur knows no bounds. But let’s get practical — if you’re like our clients at Outdoors International, you’re not just here to admire; you want to **engage** with this raw landscape through hands-on outdoor pursuits. Here’s a breakdown of the top activities, with focus on [hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hawaii-hunting/) and fishing. ![Volcanos on the Big Island of Hawaii](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/pexels-james-lee-932763-35613489-1020x680.jpg "hawaii big island hawaii pexels-james-lee-932763-35613489 » Outdoors International") #### 1. Hiking & Volcanic Exploration in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park This UNESCO site is non-negotiable. Trails range from easy lava walks to strenuous descents into craters like Kīlauea Iki. Expect steam vents, lava tubes, and occasional active flows (check current status via [NPS.gov](https://nps.gov/index.htm)). Pro tip: Go at night for glowing lava views — it’s surreal. Pair it with nearby Hilo-side rainforest hikes in the Hāmākua Coast valleys for waterfalls and dense jungle. ![Mauna Kea Observatory](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Mauna_Kea_observatory-1020x600.jpg "Mauna Kea Observatory » Outdoors International") #### 2. Summit Adventures on Mauna Kea: Snow, Stargazing & Extreme Contrast Drive (or join a guided 4×4 tour) to the 13,800-ft summit for snow in a tropical paradise — yes, you can snowboard or just enjoy the view. Sunset here is world-class, followed by [elite stargazing](https://www.maunakeaobservatories.org/) (world’s best observatories). Altitude sickness is real; acclimate properly and book a guided tour for safety/transport. ![Fishing on the Big Island](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Offshore-Fishing-Charter-Big-Island-Hawaii-1020x680.jpg "Offshore Fishing Charter Big Island Hawaii » Outdoors International") #### 3. Fishing the Big Island — From Deep Sea to Shore & Spearfishing The Big Island has [legendary fishing](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing-trips/), thanks to steep drop-offs close to shore. - **Deep Sea / Charter Fishing** — Kona Coast is the epicenter for [marlin](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing-trips/species/marlin/) (blue, black, striped), swordfish, [mahi-mahi](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing-trips/species/dorado-mahi-mahi/), [tuna](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing-trips/species/tuna/). Year-round action; summer/fall peaks for billfish. Book charters from Kailua-Kona. - **Shore & Kayak Fishing** — Hit spots like Keauhou Bay or Kohanaiki for trevally (ulua), goatfish. [Kayak launches](https://outdoors-international.com/adventure/whitewater-rafting-and-paddling/) make blue-water access easy. - **Spearfishing** — World-class in clear Kona waters. Target reef species (parrotfish/uhu, trevally/ulua, goatfish) or pelagic like mahi from shore dives/kayaks. Best areas: North of Kona (avoid restricted MLCDs like Kealakekua Bay, Waialea Bay, Lapakahi). Regulations: No spearfishing at night for certain species (e.g., parrotfish); check DLNR for protected zones and bag limits — uhu restrictions March-May. Always verify current regs on [dlnr.hawaii.gov/dar](https://dlnr.hawaii.gov/dar/). ![Mouflon sheep hunting in Hawaii](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Hawaii-mouflon-sheep-live-1020x765.webp "Hawaii mouflon sheep live » Outdoors International") #### 4. Hunting on the Big Island — Feral Game in Rugged Terrain Hunting here targets introduced species for population control — [feral pigs](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/pigs/feral-hog/), goats, [mouflon](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/mouflon/)/feral sheep. No axis deer on Big Island (that’s Lanai/Maui). Key seasons (check DLNR for updates/lotteries): - **Feral Pigs** — Year-round [pig hunting opportunities](https://outdoors-international.com/hog-hunting-hawaii/) in units; e.g., Unit A: Feb-May (weekends/holidays), archery/muzzleloader extensions. - **Feral Sheep / Mouflon** — Archery: March-July in areas like Puu Anahulu/Puuwaawaa; muzzleloader/rifle: Aug-Oct. Tags via lottery/online. - **Game Birds** — [Pheasant](https://outdoors-international.com/wingshooting/upland-bird-hunting/pheasant/), [turkey](https://outdoors-international.com/hawaii-turkey-hunt/), etc.: Nov-Jan (weekends/holidays). Public areas (forest reserves) require licenses/permits; private ranches offer guided options. Terrain is tough — lava fields, elevation changes — so guided hunts are smart for safety/success. Always: Hunter education cert required; check [dlnr.hawaii.gov/recreation/hunting/hawaiiisland](http://dlnr.hawaii.gov/recreation/hunting/hawaiiisland) for exact units, announcements. #### Final Thoughts & Next Steps The Big Island isn’t a “relax on the beach” destination — it’s for those who want to challenge themselves against volcanoes, depths, and rugged hunts. The diversity rewards preparation.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/cure-winter-blues/) **Published:** January 30, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Winter Blues getting you down? Well...Turkey up, Man!...unless you don’t want be outsmarted by an animal with a brain the size of a pea. **Content:** If you’re anything like me, the time between hunting seasons are always long and full of not only memories from the seasons past but also full of anticipation for the next season upcoming. I can hardly wait till the next time to get in the outdoors and pit myself against the weather, the animals, my memories and my expectations. Like most of [us in the hunting world](https://outdoors-international.com/about-us/), I have many memories to recall. Some of those are about mistakes I’ve made, that I don’t want to have happen again and others are the successes. I want to analyze each of them to learn from them, to help myself learn even more. Every chance I have to go out and learn something new about myself or the animals that I love, the more knowledge I have to apply to the situation at hand, in the moment, the once in a lifetime chance to make it count. Are you the same? ## Spring Turkey Hunts As I sit here writing this right now, I’m focusing on upcoming [spring hunting opportunities](https://outdoors-international.com/spring-hunting-opportunities/), specifically [turkey hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/big-game/turkeys/) (and [spring black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/where-to-find-black-bears-in-the-spring/)). Ah, the thrill of hearing that gobbler sounding off through the trees, trying to make his presence known, fires me up so much. Why?? It is a challenge, an experience, a chance to learn, a chance to succeed, a chance to fail. How can you ask for more? I hear all the time that *“chasing turkeys, what a waste of time”*, or *“I don’t have time for that!!! Turkeys are stupid, they aren’t exciting to hunt, and it’s nothing like chasing other animals.”* Really? I think that is mostly from people whom, have never gone spring turkey hunting, don’t want be outsmarted by an animal with a brain the size of a pea, or those who don’t like to learn from failure and success. If you can sit there and tell me that a big gobbler coming in full strut, proudly displaying his full fan![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=9e579647299f395426db5e89e11ec6d8&_cb=1551538667371), drumming, spitting and trying to be Billy Badass, isn’t exciting? Maybe you should check your vitals. What a chance to learn what to do, or what not do. When you [have that turkey coming in](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-call-turkey/) showing its dominance, Breathe, look at them, don’t look at them, don’t move, move, did he just see me?!… *“crap*” I gotta draw my bow, *“oh no”* he came in from a different direction, my shotgun is pointed the wrong way. All those thought are rushing through our minds at the same time. What a thrill, what excitement, how do you handle it? It will make you a better hunter, whether you harvest that animal or not, I guarantee it. Next time that buck is there smelling the wind, or that [elk is roaring his head off](https://outdoors-international.com/bedroom-bugles/) or maybe that bear looks like he is staring right through you. The more you’re in the moment, the more you learn to handle it and the thrill is better than anything out there! Check out this [Kansas turkey hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/kansas-turkey-hunting/), where you can hunt Rio Grande and also Eastern turkeys, then jump over to [Nebraska to hunt Merriam’s](https://outdoors-international.com/turkey-hunts-nebraska/).

I made some new friends and will be back to Africa again 100%. **Brye Mangum** / OI Draw Winner ![Impala](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Dason-Lasiter-Client-South-Africa-Plains-Game-Hunt-Winner-DWHS-Archery-impala.jpg "Dason Lasiter Client South Africa Plains Game Hunt Winner DWHS Archery impala » Outdoors International") ### My most memorable and rewarding experience. This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

Patterning](https://outdoors-international.com/turkey-gun-patterning/) **Published:** February 15, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Ever wonder how do I put all the products together to get an awesome turkey gun? **Content:** [Spring turkey season is soon upon](https://outdoors-international.com/cure-winter-blues/) us and I keep reading on forums and Facebook posts about folks asking questions about shotguns and comparing apples to oranges or pears to bananas, Yadda… Yadda. Ever wonder how do I put all the products together to get an awesome [wild turkey hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/big-game/turkeys/) gun? Here we go, grab the shotgun, turkey loads![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=b2263c48d488e6e3bd471d6d2986e159&_cb=1569619854017), maybe an Extra Full Choke![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=00dcafd78794b6ce3458840a31ffa373&_cb=1551639605071) and out the door, right? Or is there more? Ever want to know what it takes to optimize your shotgun? I’m going to discuss what we have came up with and how to get your turkey gun patterning well. ## Turkey Guns Now I know, there are tons of different shotguns that you can use for [turkey hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/cure-winter-blues/) but there is a way to make the gun of your choice more efficient. Our guns of choice are the tried and true Mossberg 500 and the Mossberg 835. Yes, 870’s are great, as are so many others, we have just settled on the Mossberg’s, as they have dialed in so well. With the 500, I prefer the quick and nimble size with the short 24” barrel, while still getting enough speed along with maneuverability to make quick clean kills out to 60 yards, if I wish too. ## Patterning a Turkey Gun Is it important, Heck, yes it is. Simply the most important part of making a devastating shotgun. Some will say, oh but you can’t pattern to tight because then you can’t make close shots? Hmm, really??? I’ll get there in a minute. Yes, for sure, you can kill a turkey by not doing all the things I’m going to talk about, but would you really go deer hunting without sighting in your rifle, not [tuning your bow](https://outdoors-international.com/broadhead-tuning/)? Yeah, right. So then, you should prepare your shotgun with the same vigor. 1. Where are you hunting? 2. How far are average shots? 3. How thick is the area I’m hunting? 4. Semi or pump, which one? 12 gauge or 20 gauge or ? 5. Barrel diameter and length “inches” 6. 3 in chamber or 3.5 in chamber I could go into long dissertations about how, why and answer all those questions but then this wouldn’t be a blog post, it would be a magazine article. I think you will catch my drift if you read along. ## Turkey Chokes are Key 1. Extra Full, Extra Extra Full, Full or ? 2. Extended or Standard 3. Forcing cone length 4. Shot shells (oh the Mirada of them that are out there) 5. Shot size (4, 5, 6, 7.5) AHH!! 6. Length (3 in, 3.5 in) 7. Velocity (1100, 1200, 1300 Fps) Really, this changes with barrel length also. 8. Shot charge (1 7/8 th , 2, 2 ¼ oz) 12 gauge 9. Shot wad technology Good gravy, all the things out there can be more confusing and hard to decipher then reading an ingredient list on some canned food you get at the store. Ok, so lots of stuff, lots of good stuff to choose from. But how do we make good stuff work together to make a great combination. Here is what we do. Buy $500 worth of chokes, $300 worth of shot shells, 4 different shotguns, $200 worth of turkey targets and a year’s supply of Bengay for my shoulder after getting pounded on for hours by all the combinations. LOL, no you don’t have to do all of this, that is why I’m writing this. Actually, I think that is close to accurate to how it all played out too. My shoulder is still wincing in pain as I write this, thinking about the days with 3 in and 3.5 in shells. You know, you don’t feel the recoil out hunting but, on the range, hell yeah, you do. Ok, I’ll quit digressing. Well, to say that I didn’t play with tons of combinations would be an understatement. I want it right and I will do the research and work to find it, that is how I have always been and how I will always be. After years of banging away at turkey targets![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=23390bf0a28e27926cfc3534531b1554&_cb=1569620034285), I finally got something that I don’t want to change. When I can put 200+ pellets in a 10” circle at 30, 40 yards, turkeys don’t me like very much. ## My Turkey Hunting Setup:  Mossberg 500 12 gauge  24 inch barrel  Mossberg X-factor Turkey, XX-Full, .670, accu-choke  3 inch Winchester Long beard XR![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=9573163d04a208542af7b345132cd55c&_cb=1569620086426)  #4 or #5 shot, this changes with the area I’m hunting and the average distance I could be shooting.  Truglo 3 dot fiber optic![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=3043ecf281d57a2ad4d19016cfaedb33&_cb=1551639697182) front and rear sights, Three dot lining up is what makes the close shots actually easy. 🙂  1 7/8 th shot charge  1150 fps out the barrel ## It looks like my turkey gun patterning worked. ![40 yards 61 yards, no pellets in the body](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Patterning-a-shotgun-220x300.jpg "» Outdoors International") Over 200 pellets in a 10” circle at 30 & 40 yards. Having the ability to extend my range out to 60 yards if needed, Maximizing the loads intended use, Front and rear three dot sights make target acquisition quick and accurate. These loads pack a big punch along with tight patterns that keep my pellets out of my turkey’s body (I don’t like picking pellets, worse yet biting one while eating). As I said earlier, I could go into all the details and Blah, blah, blah but that would or could turn into a complete magazine or novel. If I did all of that for you though, what fun would it be for you and your shoulder? LOL Take some time, try some options for yourself and your gun. It will make you a better shot, with better results down range. Turkeys like [every other animal we hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/), deserve your best, my best.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-turkey-hunt/) **Published:** August 26, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Hunting turkeys had become mostly a springtime activity across much of the U.S. in the 1970s after centuries of the sport were traditionally reserved for the fall. Spring is considered an “easy” time to hunt turkeys, presenting little challenge to the true sportsman. **Content:** Hunting turkeys had become mostly a springtime activity across much of the U.S. in the 1970s after centuries of the sport were traditionally reserved for the fall. Spring is considered an “easy” time to [hunt turkeys](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/big-game/turkeys/). Larry Case, a Department of Natural Resources officer in West Virginia, told us that gobblers don’t just sit around waiting to be harvested in the fall like they do in the spring. The turkey population was scarce in the early 1900s, prompting most states to outlaw spring sessions and the relative ease of further decreasing their numbers. But several wildlife organizations combined their efforts to increase the turkey population over the past three decades. SportDOG![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=037d027ce1d33612445640cc54e2d189&_cb=1549928175600), a gun dog training equipment company, funded a youth group in Illinois back in 2010 which helped restore nesting and roosting areas for turkeys. ## How to Turkey Hunt in the Spring March and April are breeding months for turkeys, thus the perfect time to take advantage of the toms’ natural desires. You can usually tell the hens and toms apart because the latter is “bearded.” It’s best to get out early in the morning when the sun hasn’t fully risen. The idea is to locate the roost area and get as close as possible without alerting the birds of your presence. It is at this point you begin calling to lure the toms closer. Be ready for action, especially as the gobbling gets louder and the bird gets within range. Harvesting your first turkey will not only provide food for a few days, but will get you hooked on a sport that is making a comeback in America. Make certain to only harvest male turkeys so the gobbler population continues to be abundant enough for two hunting seasons. ## How to Turkey Hunt in the Fall with Turkey Dogs ![How to Turkey Hunt in the Fall with Turkey Dogs](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/How-to-Turkey-Hunt-in-the-Fall-with-Turkey-Dogs-1024x683.jpg "» Outdoors International") Some hunters use a setter or pointer to locate and scatter the turkeys. It is illegal, however, in several states to use a dog for [hunting turkeys,](https://outdoors-international.com/turkey-hunting-gear-list/) so check your state’s laws before bringing along your four-legged partner. There are 40 states that offer fall turkey hunting, with most of the ones outlawing it being in the Southeast, according to [National Wild Turkey Federation](http://www.nwtf.org/) (NWTF). As the weather gets colder, turkeys flock close together to keep warm and protect themselves from [predators](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/predator-hunts/). Hunters quietly comb the woods searching for these flocks, before rushing towards them to force a scatter. Some hunters use a setter or pointer to locate and scatter the turkeys. It is illegal, however, in several states to use a dog for [hunting turkeys](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/big-game/turkeys/), so check your state’s laws before bringing along your four-legged partner. There is great debate among hunters as to whether dogs should ever be used for turkey hunting. Some question the ethics of using a dog, while others dismiss these claims, saying the dog’s only job is to locate and scatter. The goal at this point is to try and [call at least one of the turkeys](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-call-turkey/) back to the spot of the original flock. Interestingly, a properly-trained turkey dog will sit in the hunter’s lap inside a bag as they wait for their prey to return. Some states, like Pennsylvania, have a one-bird limit as far as harvest, which makes hunters think twice about keeping a dog for such a limited purpose. But Pete Clare, owner of Turkey Trot Acres in New York, told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette the dog adds an element to the experience that makes it enjoyable even if you don’t get a turkey.

calling.](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-call-turkey/) **Published:** January 26, 2019 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Knowing the basics of wild turkey vocalizations is crucial to successfully learning how to call turkey. **Content:** The calling aspect of [wild turkey hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/big-game/turkeys/) takes time and effort to learn. It’s one of the [basics of wild turkey hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-turkey-hunt/), especially vocalizations is crucial to being able to use different calls successfully. Wild turkeys make at least eight different calls, as well as several sub-types of calls that are season specific. You don’t need to know them all, just the major ones. ## Wild Turkey Vocalizations ### Cluck The cluck consists of one or more short, staccato notes. The plain cluck, many times, includes two or three single note clucks. It’s generally used by one bird to get the attention of another. It’s a good call to reassure an approaching gobbler that a hen is waiting for him. ### Yelp The yelp is a basic turkey sound. It is often delivered in a series of single note vocalizations and can have different meanings depending on how the hen uses it. ### Kee Kee Run The kee kee is the lost call of young turkeys and variations made by adult birds. It’s often associated with fall hunting, but can be used successfully in the spring. This is what it sounds like. A variation of the call, the kee kee run is merely a kee kee with a yelp. ### Purr Purring is a soft, rolling call turkeys make when content. It can usually be heard by feeding birds. This is not a loud call, but is good for reassuring turkeys as they get in close to your position. ### Cutt A series of fast, loud, erratic single notes is referred to as cutting. It’s a modified cluck and is a distinct abrupt call with a somewhat questioning nature. It can be heard at a great distance and is often used by a single turkey looking for companionship. ## How to call Turkeys: Putting It All Together ### For successful turkey calling, you should use use multiple calls. The first step would be to start with a locator call, which are used to simulate loud noises or other animals that gobblers will respond to such as owls or crows. Use short locator calls and listen for a response. Once you feel that you have found a proper location with turkeys in your range, then it’s time to use your vocalization calls. You should start off using your vocalization calls more quietly and then gradually increase volume. A soft “cluck”, “yelp”, or “purr” are good initial calls to use. This way you won’t scare off any nearby turkeys that you can’t see with a loud call. If you hear responses from a gobbler you have to be patient as many times they won’t close in on you right away. Wait at least 5 to 10 minutes before responding to a gobbler’s call. Be sure to keep trying to call a slow moving gobbler for at least an hour before you give up. If you hear hens, you should respond to their calls with the same number of calls and the same vocalization. For instance, if you hear a hen cluck 5 times, you should respond with 5 clucks. This will encourage her to come towards your location. This will also help to lure gobblers that are in the vicinity of the hen. There is no secret to calling turkeys. Each turkey will respond to your calls in its own unique way. Turkey calling is an art that takes time and experience to master, so get out there and have some fun!

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.

Turkey](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-score-a-wild-turkey/) **Published:** October 4, 2021 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** While most turkey hunters don't really ever score their bird, here's how to score one if you're interested. **Content:** While [turkey hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/turkeys/) isn’t really about scores, some hunters do want to score their bird. If you’ve taken a big gobbler and want to know how he stacks up, here’s how to score a wild turkey. ## To score a wild turkey, you’ll measure the weight, beard length, and spur length. 1. **Weigh your turkey on a good scale.** Once you get an accurate weight, convert the ounces to decimals. 2. **Beard measurements are taken to the nearest 16th of an inch.** To score a turkey, measure from the skin to the tip of the longest whisker then multiply that number by two. For example, if the turkey has a 10” beard, the score would be 10 x 2 = 20. If your turkey has more than one beard, add the lengths of each beard and multiply the total by two to get the beard measurement. 3. **Measure the spurs from the base to the tip on both legs.** Once you get those two measurements, multiply the total by ten. For example, if one spur is 1″ and the other is 1 ¼”, the spur score is 2.25 x 10 = 22.5″. 4. **Add the three measurements together for the final score.** \*The record [Eastern wild turkey](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/turkeys/eastern/) came from Kentucky and scored 104.81 with over 2” spurs, 13 ¾” beard, and a weight of over 33 ½ pounds.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10!

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.

**Published:** July 3, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** It’s a great hunt for someone who enjoys spot and stalk hunting and multiple opportunities a day to get it done. So if you mess up and spook the group you’re after, sit back and watch where they go. Chances are, as soon as they can’t see you anymore, they will forget you were ever there. Be prepared for some low crawling and cactus needles. As I said before, they’ve got really good eyesight. **Content:** I’ve hunted antelope since I was a kid, and have to say, they’re one of the funnest big game animals to hunt in North America. They’ve got great vision and hearing, and can run miles when spooked. Being the [fastest land animal in North America](https://outdoors-international.com/top-three-state-trophy-pronghorn-antelope/), they can create distance between themselves and whatever the perceived threat is in a hurry. It’s not very hard to spook them either, then they’re off at speeds reaching over 53 miles per hour. They’re also one of the smaller big game animals in the West, so being able to get a little bit closer than you would to an [elk](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/elk/) is pretty important. [Pronghorn antelope](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/pronghorn/) are also herd or “band” animals, which means where there is one there is almost always more. Hunting them after they’ve started to experience weather, causes them to herd up and gather into groups that can be in the hundreds and be more difficult to hunt. When you combine that with their having been shot at during the season opener and ready to run to the next county at the sight of you driving down a country road three miles away, you’re going to have to work for it. ## But here’s why antelope are fun to hunt. Antelope tend to forget pretty quickly about whatever it is that spooked them and go right back to grazing in the open sagebrush. I’ve literally been able to [put six or seven stalks together](https://outdoors-international.com/the-highs-and-lows-of-archery-hunting/) on the same group the same day (story follows). If you’re looking for a great hunt for someone who enjoys spot and stalk hunting and multiple opportunities a day to get it done, check out our [antelope hunts in Wyoming](https://outdoors-international.com/wyoming-antelope-hunts/), [Colorado](https://outdoors-international.com/antelope-hunts-colorado/), and [New Mexico](https://outdoors-international.com/new-mexico-trophy-antelope-hunts/). So if you mess up and spook the group you’re after, sit back and watch where they go. Chances are, as soon as they can’t see you anymore, they will forget you were ever there. Be prepared for some low crawling and cactus needles. As I said before, they’ve got really good eyesight. ![Archery hunting for antelope with a decoy](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Wyoming-pronghorn-antelope-hunts-with-Great-Plains-Outfitters-22.jpg "Archery Decoy Wyoming-pronghorn-antelope-hunt GPO » Outdoors International") ### Take a decoy! If you can’t sneak within range, there are a few other things you can try. Pronghorn bucks are extremely territorial and curious by nature. You can [use an antelope decoy](https://outdoors-international.com/antelope-hunting-gear-list/) to bring them into range. Putting a decoy up on a skyline or in a wide, flat and open area usually produces the best results. Waving a white flag arouses their curiosity. There is an art to it and usually a fine line between too little and too much. The flagging technique can cause a pronghorn to run right towards your location so it’s important to have your weapon ready. Whether they’re looking to chase off another buck, or their curiosity has gotten the best of them, most antelope just can’t refrain from [coming in to check things out](https://outdoors-international.com/colorado-pronghorn-hunt-report/). ### Last year I had the opportunity to chase these prairie speedsters in Colorado with one of our best outfitters. I was pretty excited for this hunt to say the least. It had been a few years since I’d gone [antelope hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/pronghorn/) and the outfitter had been sending me pictures of some of the animals they’d been seeing all summer. Not to mention, this was a tag that can take 15-16 years to draw for Colorado residents. [Opening morning found us glassing](https://outdoors-international.com/deer-hunt-turns-wolf-hunt/) rolling hills and hay meadows along with a few other lucky tag holders. We were seeing a lot of antelope and passed on probably 30 different bucks the first couple of hours. We had been looking for a buck that had been hanging out in a particular area all summer. No sign of him anywhere. There were a few [campers and fishermen](https://outdoors-international.com/teetering-on-three-wheels-a-healthy-hike-and-too-many-trout-to-count/) in the vicinity of where he was a few days before so we figured he’d moved in a little further away from the roads. I wanted to find this buck because he was unique. His horns were about 14 1/2 inches long, but they laid out making him about 18 inches wide. We looked over several bucks those first few hours. A few of them I would have been more than happy to take but was told we could do better. I decided to[ listen to my guide](https://outdoors-international.com/diy-fly-fishing-report-ambergris-caye-belize/) and wait for him to tell me when one was good enough. ### We finally spotted a buck about a mile and a half away that fit the bill. We ended up trying to pull off several sneaks on that buck, some were foiled by other hunters going after that same buck. He would spook and it would be right back to trying to glass him up again. Finally, the buck found his way into a group of about 100 antelope that were right in the middle of a wide open flat surrounded by several groups of hunters waiting for an opportunity at one of the several great bucks that were in it. We watched the buck move back and forth through the herd, sometimes walking straight toward a [hunter almost giving them a shot](https://outdoors-international.com/african-lion-shot-placement/). A couple times I watched guys get into position to take a shot, then he would turn and walk straight back into the middle of the herd as if he knew what was about to happen. He finally did break away with about five other animals and got past all the other hunters waiting in ambush. ### We moved to a different vantage point to see where he was going, and then quickly tried to move into position in front of him. We failed the first time, finding he’d already moved past our location. We backed out and tried again. This time it worked and I was able to get just inside 300 yards with him presenting a [perfect broadside shot](https://outdoors-international.com/gary-colbath-greenland-muskox-caribou-combo-hunt-report/). I was able to harvest a [76 inch pronghorn](https://outdoors-international.com/world-record-pronghorn-antelope/) on the first day of my hunt and made some great friends in the process.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10!

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.

Texas Whitetail Deer Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/cory-glauner-south-texas-deer-hunting/) **Published:** April 20, 2012 **Author:** Cory Glauner **Excerpt:** The South Texas deer hunting Ranch (management) Hunt is a basic hunting package for a mature buck 4.5 years old or more with up to 150″ B&C. **Content:** [South Texas Whitetail Deer Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/texas-deer-hunting/) I had no idea how much I would love deer hunting in Texas. In a year when I got to do a lot of hunting in places people dream about including [Africa](https://outdoors-international.com/what-to-consider-when-booking-your-first-trip-to-south-africa/), guess which hunt was my favorite?… [South Texas deer hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/texas-deer-hunting/ "South Texas whitetail hunting Outfitter"). Surprised me too. Never woulda guessed. We flew down to South Texas last January to do a management deer hunt with [Trevor](https://outdoors-international.com/final-hunt-for-indigo/). To be honest, I was only mildly excited as the ranch we were hunting was high fence. I was more excited to get away from the Idaho winter for a few days than anything else. The first morning on stand changed my mind. The ranch that we hunted has the genetics and habitat to produce the best and highest quality whitetail deer possible. We were doing the Ranch Management Hunt, which is a basic hunting package for a mature buck 4.5 years old or more with up to 150″ B&C. They offer this package at a base price and there are NO HIDDEN FEES. You will not pay a trophy fee, price per inch or incur any additional charges for this hunt. You will work hand in hand with your [guide hunting,](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/mountain-goat/) locating and determining what deer fall into this class. This is a 3 night and 3 day hunt for a deer up to 150″. The facilities are of five star quality. The main house is 6,000 sq ft with 5 bedrooms with private baths, dining room, grand room including a pool table and satellite TV, outdoor patio and fire pit![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=8441e3d99d1665f58de5b41ae2767f41&_cb=1549746251996), there are plenty of areas to sit back and relax when you are not hunting. There are also full [outdoor rifle and archery shooting ranges](https://outdoors-international.com/long-range-shooting-courses/). Meals are served family style three times a day. Nobody left the table hungry. ## South Texas Deer Hunting Rocks! ![Trevor whispered, “see that little buck in the middle? He has to go.” I was happy to comply…](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Cory-South-Texas-Whitetail-e1569161175634.jpg "Cory Glauner South-Texas-Whitetail » Outdoors International")Trevor whispered, “see that little buck in the middle? He has to go.” I was happy to comply…## Twisted Alfonso the Bear Trevor and I drove out to our stand on the first morning to go after a buck called *“Twisted Alfonso the Bear”*…. how cool is that? He was a 4.5 year old buck that just wasn’t *“cuttin’ the mustard”* and had to go. We had been on stand for…. oh about 2 minutes when three bucks walk out and Trevor whispered, *“see that little buck in the middle? He has to go.”* I was happy to comply… he was out in a Sundero in front of us and at the shot he ran about 75 yards before he went down. Now it was time to concentrate on Twisted Alfonso again… back to business. The next morning Trevor and I were sitting in the same stand again and some INCREDIBLE bucks showed up it was awesome seeing these truly huge bucks walking around below us in bow range. There was one buck named *“Ponchentrain”* who was pushing 200 inches… he was out of my price range. At around 9am or so a good buck showed up, I could just see one side of his rack and when Trevor told me that was Alfonso I just about fell out of the stand. He was pretty darn big! Before we could lay the hammer down on him though, he took off after a doe… D’oh! However, after a few minutes he walked back out and I was able to drop him in his tracks. [Twisted Alfonso the Bear was down](https://outdoors-international.com/south-texas-management-whitetail-deer-hunt/)! He scores about 145″. A GREAT [deer and a fun hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/texas-deer-hunt-report-jb-salutregui/)!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Cory-Glauner-Horse-Kazakhstan-ARQ.jpg) Cory Glauner Founder, CTO With a background in web development, online marketing as well as years of experience as a hunting guide and outfitter, Cory Glauner is the founder of Outdoors International.

Griffith: British Columbia Archery Black Bear Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-bc-archery-black-bear/) **Published:** May 6, 2014 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** This hunt was great; I am taking my son with me next year for sure. You should definitely do this hunt, as it is a lot of fun. You’ll never meet better people for sure. **Content:** [British Columbia Archery Black Bear Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-black-bear-hunt/) May 2014 When I had the opportunity to hunt with this outfitter, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I knew that [BC had great bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/), great food and beautiful scenery. I took this hunt as a shakedown to prepare myself and test run all my gear for a [grizzly hunt in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-jared-griffins-arctic-grizzly/) this fall. The price was exceptional and after talking with my booking agent and the guide, it just felt right. I flew in to Prince George, British Columbia Canada on a Saturday and stayed at the local Sheraton. Which had a fantastic Vietnamese restaurant next to it. If you stay at the Sheraton you should definitely try it. The outfitter picked me at checkout time Sunday. We took the 50-minute drive to his property, and met one of his guides, Gary Hillshire. Jeff is all about making you feel at home, his property is beautiful and the accommodations is great for a [basic guide](https://outdoors-international.com/wingshooting-basics/) camp. I was the first one here, so I got to chose the bunk with a private room. Since my hunt didn’t official start till Monday, Jeff offered me a second [bear tag and an opportunity to hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/) that night with Gary after lunch. The first nights hunt proved to be exciting but no sighting of a black bear. People started to filter into camp, and the first thing I noticed was [all the people we’re good, fun people](https://outdoors-international.com/russ-meyer-archery-bc-black-bear/). The next day started out with breakfast around 8:30 and some nap time followed. The way the hunts work here are mainly evening hunts when the bears are active. It is a [spot and stalk](https://outdoors-international.com/jason-brule-spot-and-stalk-wyoming-black-bear-hunt-report/), along with some sitting in good transition areas. That night we started seeing bears, no shooters but it was [amazing to see so many grizzlies](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-grizzly-bear-hunt-report-by-john-labanc/)! It was my first time seeing grizzly bears in the wild, and we were lucky enough to see a boar and sow together. That night we had a great dinner, some drinks and big bonfire. People really started to open up, and it was just a [fun exciting time](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-mike-collis/). A lot of laughter and we stayed up till 1:00 AM listening to heroic deeds from Gary Hilshire. Gary is about as Canadian as they come “EH”. He is a super great guide and works really hard for you the client. The next morning it was breakfast and then Gary grabbed me and said let’s go for a ride. The train tracks run through the guide property, he had pre-selected spots that he could jump out of the truck and check the tracks for bears. On the big bend in the tracks, he came back to the truck and told me he had [spotted a good bear](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-dall-sheep-brown-bear-combo-hunt-report-by-ray-rupel/) feeding about 400 meters away. We got everything ready and started our stalk towards the bear. You never realize how hard it is to walk quietly until you try it. I thought I was quiet as a Ninja, until Gary kept telling me to shush. He must have heard my heart pounding. We stalked till we were about 70 meters away. I was shooting from a set of sticks![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=4fc38b09d279a5dbb479a77ba3164ee7&_cb=1550085843536) that Gary brought with him. I put the scope on the bear, and then it happened. I missed at 70 meters. How I don’t know, well that’s not true I do know. I rushed the shot, since I was filled with adrenaline and excitement. The bear ran off unscathed… While apologizing for being the worst bear hunting client ever, a funny thing happened…it walked back out. Gary later told me it heard how distraught I was and gave his life to make me feel better. If you haven’t noticed Gary is a big jokester. When the bear walked out he was still only 70 meters away. This time I made it count. [One round in the boiler room](https://outdoors-international.com/gary-colbath-greenland-muskox-caribou-combo-hunt-report/) and he only went 20 meters. We celebrated and Gary took real good care of the hide for me. We celebrated around camp that night, and made a lot of fun of how the bear felt bad for me. This [hunt was great; I am taking my son](https://outdoors-international.com/paul-julander-2/) with me next year for sure. You should definitely do this hunt, as it is a lot of fun. You’ll never meet better people for sure. I was happy with the hunt. I feel like Jeff runs basic and absolutely no frills camp. ## Russ with Outdoors International was the Bomb! He put together a great beginner hunt for me to get into [bear hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/). Thanks Russ you are my miracle worker! - Would you book another trip with us in the future? **Yes.** I am in the middle of [booking another one with Russ](https://outdoors-international.com/jared-griffith-scimitar-oryx-hunt-report/) and have booked two others already.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

[Patrick Kissel: Utah Archery Mule Deer Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/high-country-velvet-dreams/) **Published:** December 6, 2018 **Author:** Patrick Kissel **Excerpt:** That night I walked off the mountain with an unexplainable feeling of satisfaction only a hunter could understand. The stars aligned and I knew for that instance I was the happiest man in the world. **Content:** My brother called me a few weeks after we had notched our tags on our first ever [archery mule deer in Utah](https://outdoors-international.com/utah-mule-deer/); he was “little kid on Christmas morning excited” to tell me he just got off the phone with the guys over at Outdoors International and they invited us both on an exploratory hunt to a new property they had secured for the following bow season. They were looking to get pictures and a positive review of the area in order to sell the hunt. It sounded like a dream. I needed to commit in the next few days or the spots would be filled. I can still remember where I was when the text from my new boss came through saying I could take ten days off in the heart of the [guide season in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/best-time-to-fish-alaska/). I think I may have had some happy tears in my eyes as I dialed my brother’s number to tell him I’m in! Needless to say I was stoked at the opportunity to once again [hunt mule deer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/mule-deer/) in Utah with my favorite hunting partner. ## High Country Velvet Dreams ### Before I knew it July had passed and it was early August, I had been shooting religiously but my shape was lacking. My legs were skinnier than normal. I had done nothing more than sit in the rower’s seat of a 20’ drift boat [guiding trout fishing](https://outdoors-international.com/trout/) on the [Kenai River](https://outdoors-international.com/upper-kenai-river-fishing-report/) the entire summer. I was going to have to count on my mental toughness to carry me on the mountain. A few pack runs, no more after trip beers with clients and I felt good to go. My brother picked me up from the Salt Lake City Airport; we shot our bows and were on the mountain the following night. ### Opening day had us split up looking at different basins; I glassed a few does and small bucks but nothing to get my heart going. That afternoon Spencer my guide and I spotted the buck he had been telling me about “*One Eye*” a big symmetrical framed 4×4 with one eye guard. I went in for a stalk but quickly backed out when some does fed between the buck and me. I got back up to Spencer as the sun dropped and just in time to hear part of the conversation he was having with his cousin Quinn – my brothers guide. He was telling the story of how my brother snuck in and arrowed a 170s buck. It was a clear night on the mountain and as we were packing my brothers deer out I looked up and spotted a shooting star, like always I wished for a big buck. I didn’t realize my wish would actually come true the following night. ![AJ Kissell with a nice Utah archery mule deer](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/AJ-Kissell.-Utah-Mule-Deer.jpg "AJ-Kissell.-Utah-Mule-Deer » Outdoors International") ### At first light we found my buck feeding where we left him the night before. He fed across the basin and up into a rocky ridge covered in buck brush and jack pines. We lost him as the sun poked over the mountain and into our spotting scopes but figured he was bedded somewhere in there. I decided to make a bold move, figuring he was going to come back across to feed that night. I hiked up the steep rocky ridge and into position about 200 yards from where we figured he was bedded. I sat in the shade under a cluster of jack pines sheltering me from the hot August sun. My boots were off and I had an arrow knocked ready to make a move. I saw some does and small bucks passing through. Hours later I jumped as my radio exploded with static. Spencer was trying to tell me he had One Eye spotted above me. He was with the same small buck from the night before; they were feeding across the ridge and down to the basin just like we had hoped. My thermals were all over but I felt too close to try and back out. I crept up the mountain toward the next opening they said he was feeding toward. From what Spencer was telling me I was within 60 yards. I inched closer, every time the breeze picked up I moved. The small buck fed out into the bottom of the opening, and the last words I remember hearing from Spencer was *“he’s going to come out, he’s right behind that buck!”* All I could see was the antler tips of the small buck, if One Eye stepped out now I was going to miss my opportunity. I quickly got a few steps closer to find a small opening. I looked down at my feet, ensuring I wasn’t going to make any rocks roll as I set up for a shot. I looked back up and could see his velvet antler tips moving toward the opening. Shaking now I grabbed my range finder, [his perfect velvet frame looked too big for his body](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-mule-deer/). Holy shit! Ok, just looks at his vitals, focus man. I had to talk myself through it as I ranged the [giant velvet buck](https://outdoors-international.com/jace-myers/) multiple times. I dialed my sight pin to 31 yards and drew as he started to walk. At full draw I stopped him before he could disappear, he looked straight down at me, I felt my bow release the arrow. From there it was a blur, I lost my arrow in flight but heard a loud crack and then brush breaking as he crashed through the jack pines down the mountain at me. I tried to nock another arrow but quickly realized he had already expired. I threw my bow down and jumped on him to stop the velvet from getting torn up as he rolled down the mountain. I freaked and lost all control of my emotions holding him in my hands, I shouted and yelled. I was ecstatic. I could hear the guys yelling from across the canyon 1,400 yards away as they watched it all unfold through their spotting scopes. He had only slightly blemished his velvet on the fall but that’s just part of the story. ![Patrick Kissel with his 192 Utah Archery Mule Deer](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Patrick-Kissel-Utah-Archery-Mule-Deer-RKHC-1024x724.jpg "» Outdoors International") Patrick Kissel with his 192 Utah Archery Mule Deer I went to call my brother to tell him I did it but my phone was already ringing. I answered to his voice energized with excitement *“Holy shit! How big is he?!”*. He had gone to town to drop off his [deer at the taxidermist and freeze the quarters](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-cut-up-the-hind-quarter-of-a-deer/) to take back home, so I thought he was still gone. Somehow he made it back to the top of the [mountain just in time to see me stalk](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-mountain-lion-hunting/) into position and watch as my arrow arched in tight behind the bucks shoulder. That night I walked off the mountain with an unexplainable feeling of satisfaction only a hunter could understand. The stars aligned and I knew for that instance I was the happiest man in the world. [![The stars aligned and I knew for that instance I was the happiest man in the world.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Patrick-Kissel-Utah-Archery-Mule-Deer-RKHC-3.jpg "» Outdoors International")](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Patrick-Kissel-Utah-Archery-Mule-Deer-RKHC-3.jpg) We took my deer to the taxidermist the next day and he scored it at 192”. Hunting with my brother means everything to me. Being able to share the experience with a like minded individual as passionate about [bow hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/nunavut-muskox-hunting/) as he is enhances the entire experience. We have a [lot of hunting to do together](https://outdoors-international.com/bedroom-bugles/) but I know this one will always be a top hunt for us!

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!

Up from 201,000 caribou a year ago. **Content:** [Press Release](http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=pressreleases.pr&release=2018_01_10): January 10, 2018 Contact: Alex Hansen, Wildlife Biologist, Kotzebue, (907) 442-1711 (Kotzebue) ## After more than a decade of decline, [Alaska’s Western Arctic caribou herd](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-caribou-hunt-combo/) is showing signs of growth. Counts of the Western Arctic caribou herd (the largest caribou herd in [Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/united-states/alaska/)) completed recently from aerial photographs![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=6fa30e0e4963406aafbb73307c88ace8&_cb=1551445877315) taken during last summer’s photos census tallied 239,055 animals, raising the total herd estimate to 259,000. That’s up from 201,000 caribou a year ago. [Alaska Department of Fish](http://www.adfg.alaska.gov) and Game biologists who track the [Western Arctic caribou herd](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/caribou/) are encouraged by the uptick, but not surprised. *“We’ve seen positive indicators for the past few years and have been anticipating the rebound,”* said Kotzebue-based wildlife biologist Alex Hansen. *“During the declining years, adult cow mortality was high and calf recruitment was low, but since 2015 we’ve observed a positive shift in survival and recruitment rates. With fewer productive cows exiting the population and an increased number of calves joining the herd things were bound to improve.”* [Alaska’s caribou herds](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-caribou-drop-hunt/) frequently experience cyclic highs and lows influenced by natural factors including range condition, weather, disease, and predation. The Western Arctic caribou herd most recent peak of 490,000 animals in 2003 was followed by years of steady decline. Numbers reached a low of 201,000 in 2016, leading [state and federal subsistence managers to initiate hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/top-three-state-trophy-pronghorn-antelope/) restrictions. Accuracy of the 2017 Western Arctic caribou herd photos census was improved through implementation of a newly acquired digital photography system. The system supports higher flight altitudes and larger photo footprints that allow photography![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=adb913d8ac970a67152b352ef3cfb9d0&_cb=1551445917757) of large caribou groups that in the past might not have been photographable using the previous system. Its improved photo quality also allows for more precise counting. *“We believe the superior photo quality has led us to identify and count more calves than we did in the past; however, there is no doubt the herd increased between 2016 and 2017,”* said wildlife biologist Lincoln Parrett. The Western Arctic herd roams an area of about 157,000 square miles that includes many landowners and management entities. Caribou availability and abundance has largely shaped the heritage and traditions of Native Alaskans living in some 40 subsistence-based communities![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=f7433bbaf72e40c3185f8bdaad633e92&_cb=1551445941242) region-wide. ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

Although we were both successful we wanted to keep coming back and get the [odds in our favor](https://outdoors-international.com/leopard-hunting-techniques/) to target exceptional animals. Fortunate for us we arrived safe in Alaska, organized our gear and staged [ready to load and go as planned](https://outdoors-international.com/preparing-for-an-unguided-hunt/). We were able to get into the field on time as well, great way to start the trip. ## What a roller coaster of a trip but I’ve come to embrace the ride that Alaska seems to take us on! ![Matt with a great bull.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Matt-Kirschier-Client-Alaska-Unguided-Moose-RAA1-e1699304654188.jpg "Matt-Kirschier-Client-Alaska-Unguided-Moose-RAA1 » Outdoors International") ### This area of Alaska certainly doesn’t disappoint. We saw moose every single day and were able to picky about what we wanted to pursue. We were fortunate enough to lock tags on two WORLD CLASS [Alaska moose](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-trophy-moose-hunt/) on back to back days. My partner connected on his 64-inch [bull day 5 of the hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-late-season-bulls-in-new-mexico/) and I found my bull the very next morning. Still in disbelief that I had the opportunity at such a monarch, my [bull measured almost 69 1/2 inches](https://outdoors-international.com/everybody-wants-a-400-inch-bull-elk/) wide! Talk about getting it done! ### Be ready to spend some time on Mother Nature’s stair climber. The rest of the [trip was spent packing](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-pack-trips/) both bulls back to accessible landing strips where the small bush planes could land. Unfortunately, from that point on we got pounded with hard weather and the [planes couldn’t get to us as a result immediately](https://outdoors-international.com/peter-heimerman/). No complaints however ,because it was pretty damn hard to wash those smiles off. We didn’t care how hard it rained! ![Camp](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Kyle-Hansen-Unguided-Moose-Hunt-in-Alaska-camp-e1549813731440-1024x755.jpg "» Outdoors International")Kyle and his hunting partner spent 14 days in this camp due to the planes not being able to fly because of the weather.### Be prepared for weather delays. They’re the norm when hunting in Alaska. We did end up getting socked in for two extra days. We spent a total of 14 nights camping out on the ridge.

The only caveat to a remarkable trip, some of [these areas are thick with grizzlies](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/), and we did experience significant meat loss from the bears due to planes being grounded. This was an act of nature and not neglect, and it’s just a hard [thing to have to face when hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/5-things-to-know-self-guided-moose-hunts/) in areas with extreme terrain and weather. Once picked up and back in Bethel we were greeted back by none other than my consultant and friend Russ Meyer! #### ![Flying out](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Kyle-Hansen-Unguided-Moose-Hunt-in-Alaska-loading-meat-e1549812417160.jpg "» Outdoors International") ### What a roller coaster of a trip but I’ve come to embrace the ride that Alaska seems to take us on! The outfit there deserves a lot of props as I don’t know that there’s a better unguided [moose hunting](/moose-hunting-facts/) experience up there. It was the total package for us.

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.

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.

**Excerpt:** First introduced in the late 40's, it has been estimated that populations of aoudad sheep in Texas have grown 1,800% since 1963. Actual numbers across Texas are not known but have been speculated to be 25,000+ animals. **Content:** Discover the fascinating history of Aoudad sheep in Texas, a resilient and challenging species to hunt. First introduced in the late 1940’s, it has been estimated that populations of aoudad sheep in Texas have grown 1,800% since 1963. Actual numbers across Texas are not known but have been speculated to be 25,000+ animals. ## What is an Aoudad? Native to rugged areas of Northern Africa, the Aoudad, also known as Barbary sheep *(Ammotragus lervia)*, is a tough and intelligent species of *Caprid* (goat-antelope). Aoudad are the only species in the genus *Ammotragus*. However, some include this genus in the goat genus [*Capra*](https://outdoors-international.com/capra-world-slam/), and others in the sheep genus [*Ovis*](https://outdoors-international.com/ovis/). From a hunting standpoint, [aoudad hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/goats/) is categorized as sheep hunting. Aoudad are a reddish-tan color, and the insides of their legs are whitish. There is no beard, but they do have a beautiful mane of long, soft hairs on the throat, chest, and upper part of the forelegs. The horns of the male sweep outward, backward, and then inward; they are rather heavy and wrinkled, and [measure up to 34 inches in length](https://outdoors-international.com/scoring-aoudad-sheep/). Females also have prominent horns although they are not as large as those of the male. They can retain water from sparse vegetation and survive long periods of time without it. This adaptation gives aoudad the ability to live in rugged, dry habitats that are too harsh for other animals. These factors combined with the aoudad’s sense of smell, hearing and alertness to danger; make aoudad hunting very challenging! Here are some [tips for hunting aoudad sheep in Texas](https://outdoors-international.com/aoudad-hunting-tips/). ### Natural Range of Aoudad ![Natural Range of Aoudad](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Natural-Range-of-Aoudad-791x800.jpg "Natural Range of Aoudad » Outdoors International")Barbary sheep are native to northern Africa including: Algeria; Tunisia; Chad; Egypt; Libya; Mali; Mauritania; Morocco; Niger; and Sudan. ### Aoudad Have Been Introduced Around the World Aoudad are now rare in their native habitat of North Africa, but they have been successfully introduced around the world, where they are known as aoudad, Barbary sheep, waddan, arui, and arruis. Barbary sheep have been introduced to southeastern Spain, the southwestern United States (Texas, New Mexico, and California), Mexico, and some parts of Africa. ### History of Aoudad Sheep in Texas During World War II, American soldiers stationed in Chad and the Barbary Coast of Northern Africa discovered Aoudad and realized their potential as a game animal. After the war (late 40s & early 50s), these soldiers had some animals shipped to ranches in Texas. They soon found that aoudad are very hard to keep fenced in, and they escaped and have successfully reproduced in Texas. The first recorded [aoudad sheep in Texas](https://outdoors-international.com/texas-aoudad-hunt/) were in Llano and Kerr counties, but their popularity quickly made them an in-demand species on [exotic game ranches](https://outdoors-international.com/texas-exotic-hunts/) throughout central and southern parts of the state. ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

Trophy Whitetails](https://outdoors-international.com/famous-wisconsin-bucks/) **Published:** June 10, 2022 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Wisconsin deer hunting is recognized by hunters around the nation as one of the premier states for trophy whitetail hunting. **Content:** Wisconsin has long been a top destination for [whitetail deer hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/whitetail-deer/), and for good reason. The state boasts a rich hunting tradition and a reputation for producing some of the largest bucks in North America. From the rolling farmland of the Driftless Area to the dense northern forests, Wisconsin’s diverse habitats have given rise to legendary whitetails that every sportsman dreams of pursuing. ### What Makes Wisconsin Bucks So Famous? 1. **Record-Book Trophies** [Wisconsin whitetail hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/wisconsin-whitetail-hunting/) consistently ranks among the top states for [Boone and Crockett](https://www.boone-crockett.org/) and [Pope and Young](https://pope-young.org/) entries. Bucks like the iconic “Jordan Buck,” which held the world record for decades, and the more recent “Gollon Buck,” a 243-inch giant harvested in 2020, have solidified Wisconsin’s reputation for world-class deer. 2. **Prime Habitat** The state’s mix of agricultural fields, woodlands, and marshes creates ideal conditions for deer to thrive. These environments provide plenty of food, cover, and space for bucks to grow to maturity, often reaching impressive sizes. 3. **A Culture of Management** Wisconsin hunters take deer management seriously. From letting young bucks walk to promoting healthy herd dynamics, sportsmen and conservationists work together to ensure the state continues to produce trophy whitetails. ### A Trophy Hunter’s Dream For those chasing dreams of record-breaking whitetails, Wisconsin is the place to be. From the stories of legendary bucks to the chance of encountering your own trophy, the state’s whitetail heritage is second to none. Whether you’re drawn by the history of famous Wisconsin bucks or the thrill of the hunt, the Badger State offers an unforgettable experience for every sportsman. ## Legendary Bucks of Wisconsin ![James Jordan Buck](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/James-Jordan-Buck.jpg "James Jordan Buck » Outdoors International") ### The James Jordan Buck This one-time world record scores a whopping 206 1/8 inches. The perfect 10-pointer was harvested in Burnett County back in 1914. This stunning 5×5 still ranks No. 2 on B&C’s all-time list of typicals. It’s hard to fathom a finer 10-pointer. ![Johnny King Buck](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Johnny-King-Buck.jpg "Johnny King Buck » Outdoors International") ### The Johnny King Buck Depending on your scoring system of choice, Wisconsin is home of the World Record typical whitetail. The Johnny King buck has caused a controversy over how typical points should be calculated. Some argue the King Buck would topple Milo Hanson’s long-standing record if it was scored “properly”. ### Tips for Hunting Famous Wisconsin Bucks 1. **Scout Smart**: Study the land, look for rub lines, and track movement patterns to locate mature bucks. 2. **Leverage Food Sources**: Wisconsin’s agricultural abundance makes food plots and field edges prime spots for big buck activity. 3. **Hunt the Rut**: The rut in Wisconsin is legendary, with bucks on the move and more likely to expose themselves during daylight hours. 4. **Explore Public Lands**: While private land offers great opportunities, Wisconsin’s public hunting areas also hold trophy potential for those willing to put in the effort. #### We can help!

Mangum](https://outdoors-international.com/brye-mangum-africa-hunt-winner/) **Published:** October 18, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** "I am so grateful for the opportunity! Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PHs and their awesome staff. I made some new friends and will be back to Africa to see them again 100%." **Content:** Congratulations to OI Draw Winner, Brye Mangum! ### He won an [All-Inclusive, 7 Animal, South Africa Hunting Safari](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-safari-in-south-africa/). He’ll hunt with a top notch PH, stay in a 5-Star lodge, and enjoy exceptional trophy quality on a huge ranch. He will be hunting high trophy quality animals. **DATE OF TRIP:** July 11-18, 2018 ## BRYE’S HUNT REPORT ## The most amazing thing I’ve ever done! I was one of the super lucky guys to win this South Africa hunting safari in the [OI Draw](https://outdoors-international.com/oi-draw-program/), and starting off, something like this was way out of my comfort zone. Not going to try and sugar coat it but [the flight is loooong](https://outdoors-international.com/tips-for-us-hunters-traveling-to-africa/). But don’t worry, it’s all worth it. Our total flight time was 27 hours, if you have great company like I did it will go by fairly quick. We landed in Johannesburg and grabbed our stuff, I brought a bow so making it out is a lot faster. If you [bring a rifle](https://outdoors-international.com/tips-for-us-hunters-traveling-to-africa/), you must check it out of the police station inside the airport. Botes was very helpful with his client who brought a rifle and pretty well did everything. After a two hour drive from the airport you will arrive at your destination! We arrived very late, we met all the PH’s and toured what we could in the night. The resort is AMAZING! That was my first thought. I had no idea what to expect and this place was 5 star! Very modern, I didn’t even feel like I was in another country. After the tour we moved into our own rooms and called it a night. ### The hunt was super challenging! I learned a lot on this trip. The routine everyday is fairly the same. Wake up at 6AM, eat an amazing breakfast. Hunt till noon, eat an amazing lunch. Head back out and hunt till 6PM, sit around the campfire, and you guessed it. Eat an amazing dinner and do it all again the next day. The PH asks what you want to hunt that day or recommends what would be best toward your goals for the trip. You hop in the land cruisers and start looking for [game to hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-safari-in-south-africa/). Once you find an animal you want to hunt, the stalk begins. ### De Wet was my PH for the entire trip, he is awesome and got us in close many times. During the 10 day trip we put on 30+ stalks, I was not successful on a single one. The weather was a perfect 65-70 everyday with 5mph winds at max. Due to the lack of wind, sound is what gave us away most of the time. It was awesome to know that even though this is a high fence hunt, the hunts are still super challenging! I learned a lot on this trip , especially from Dewit. ### I had never been successful with my bow till this trip. We sat the blind on the evening of the first day. Sables were everywhere, [Burchell’s zebras](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/burchells-zebra-hunts/) were coming in and at 5PM that night they all took off and the [kudu](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/african-plains-game/kudu-hunts/) we were waiting for had finally showed up. He came in and looked me right in the eyes through the small blind window like he knew I was there and a [sable](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/african-plains-game/sable-hunts/) spooked him away. We waited five more minutes and he came back in only to be blocked by another sable. He spooked again, please come back is all that was running through my mind. I was very calm and collected at this point. He came in one last time and I put the arrow right through his heart and into the opposite shoulder. I will never forget that feeling of connecting with my first animal with a bow. He is a [beautiful 54 inch kudu bull](https://outdoors-international.com/robert-gillow-south-african-safari-report/) with amazing curls and a perfect first bow kill. Without all the prep work that your PH puts in, things like this would not happen perfectly like this. The PHs make it happen! ### The trophy quality for these animals on this new concession are top notch and in a couple of years it will be even better. I took a 54” kudu bull, 26” [Blue wildebeest](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/blue-wildebeest-hunts/) (wild hunt!), an old warrior warthog, a beautiful zebra mare (she was so big we thought she was a stallion) and three impalas with two of them being over 23 inches! [Impala hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/impala-hunts/) is a blast! The building where they do all the skinning and gutting is awesome and very clean! I was never worried about the quality of care my trophies were receiving. ### The accommodations at the concession are excellent. Every meal you will feel like you are at a 5 star restaurant. The company was always great and we shared many laughs every single day and night. Your rooms are cleaned and made new again every day and your clothes are washed! I managed to catch a cold from the plane ride over and they had all the medication I could ever need and made sure I always took my medicine. Thank you! ### The trip did not go by fast for me at all. But when it was time to leave, Botes went over all the trip expenses and you can choose to pay then or later. We did visit the local taxidermist that Botes uses. You can either have your animals done there or done back home. I chose to do mine back home so I could spread my payments out on them. The quality of taxidermy work is amazing. You will not be disappointed if you go the other route. Botes also makes sure you make it through the airport as far as he can go. He made everything easy and worry free! ### I am so grateful for this opportunity. Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PHs and staff. I made some new friends and will be back to see them 100%. [ ![Brye won a safari with Botes Hunting Safaris and just returned from his hunt.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

South Africa --- ### [Kyle Hanson: Kyrgyzstan Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/kyle-hanson-kyrgyzstan-hunt-report/) **Published:** December 12, 2024 **Author:** Kyle Hanson **Content:** [Kyrgyzstan Marco Polo & Mid Asian Ibex Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/asia/kyrgyzstan/) October 01, 2024 I have recently just returned on what I would consider to be the greatest adventure of my young life and hunting career. The trip has completely met and exceeded all goals and expectations that I had of not only the hunt, but also [hunting Asia](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-in-asia/), and our Outfitting partners that we work with. My trip to Kyrgyzstan started out with a group of friends and clients interested in [Hunting Mid-Asian Ibex](https://outdoors-international.com/max-demarco-kyrgyzstan-mid-asian-ibex-hunt-report/). Mid summer I received a notification from our Outfitting partners that they may be receiving additional tags for Marco Polo Argali in their region this year, followed by the question of course *“Would you be interested in upgrading your Ibex hunt to a full combo?”*. The answer of course is hell yes I would, but how in the world can I ever afford that? After some deep reflection and crunching numbers to make it all work I committed to my very first [sheep hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/) and with just 3-4 months notice. It turns out, that being matter of fact about it, **Asia offers some of the greatest value in the entire world for sheep & [goat hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/capra-world-slam/)**. Especially in Kyrgyzstan! As they say, when in Rome right? Because I’ve already paid for a good bulk of the trip between the [Ibex hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/ibex/) & all travel incidentals to date, this was actually a great value and real possibility. Let’s face it too, hunting trips are never going to get any more affordable than they already are in the current world we live in… ![Traveling to hunting camp.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Traveling-to-Kyrgyzstan-Hunting-Camp-ARQ-Kyle-Hanson-1020x765.jpeg "Traveling to Kyrgyzstan Hunting Camp ARQ Kyle Hanson » Outdoors International") ## Traveling to Kyrgyzstan Truth be told, I was pretty nervous about this aspect of the trip. Almost, if not even more so than the hunt itself! The fears of lengthy travel, time differences, language barriers, lost luggage… man. But it went absolutely seamlessly. Traveling to Asia with Turkish Airlines was better than I could have imagined and working with our preferred travel agents only made it easier. I only had two individual flights over to Asia. The first from Chicago to Istanbul, Turkey, took approximately 11 hours. The second, from Istanbul,Turkey to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, was approximately 6 hours. The food on Turkish Airlines was icing on the cake by the way! Once in Bishkek, we were greeted by an English speaking host and escorted to the VIP Lounge while the Outfitters staff and the hosts retrieved our luggage & firearms to go through the customs. Each and every piece of gear arrives to include all weapons cases as scheduled. YESS! The first victory of the trip, and the customs process was very easy. All while enjoying the comfort of a good coffee and pastry in a VIP Lounge. Next leg, the long drive into hunting camp begins! Driving literally from one end of the country to the other over the course of 10-12 hours after a long flight makes for a long day, not going to sugar coat that. However, it was quite breathtaking to soak in the scenery as we ascended across the country and new terrain I’ve never seen before. The guides and English speaking concierge personally drove us to camps that day, stopping as needed for breaks to include Breakfast, Lunch, Bathroom, coffee, take pictures like tourists that we are… you name it. It was full service from here on out. We arrived at camp on the first day late afternoon. ## Arriving to Hunting Camp As soon as we arrived at the hunting camp we started getting settled into the Cabin that we were hunting from for the week. We met the rest of our guides, and the camp chef, as well as the Government Inspector who accompanies each hunt for the permitting in Kyrgyzstan. It was very well organized from the time of arrival, and the first thing they asked once settled was *“Can we go shoot?”* It was time to get our heads in the game, starting with [verifying rifles zero’s and checking our data at distance](https://outdoors-international.com/long-range-shooting-for-central-asian-hunts/). Our rifles were very close at 100 yards as well as checking at a distance of 550 yards. However, both did require just the slightest adjustment to be perfect and it should be noted that if you go to Asia on any of these high elevation hunts with long travel that you should expect to have to make some form of an adjustment. Whether that be for your 100 yard zero, or truing your long range data.. you MUST be self sufficient and educated on how to make these adjustments to your shooting system yourself. That means, **have your own maintenance items and tools with you, as well as enough ammunition**. Fortunately, we had no equipment failures, so the second victory of the trip was already won! ![Some big rams](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Herd-of-Marco-Polo-Sheep-in-Kyrgyzstan-Live-ARQ-1020x764.jpeg "Herd of Marco Polo Sheep in Kyrgyzstan Live ARQ » Outdoors International") ## The Marco Polo Hunt Day 1 of the hunt, we decided to split up and two of us went for [Marco Polo](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-marco-polo-sheep-in-kyrgyzstan/) while the others were starting off for Ibex. I wanted my client, and now good friend, to have first opportunities so we didn’t draw straws or flip coins etc… Plus it never hurts to look at alot of animals before you make a decision. And, boy did we look at ALOT of animals that day. It was very apparent that the guides had pre-scouted the area to know exactly where we were going to find the herds. The herds of Marco Polo were usually groups of 30-50 animals each and I would bet we looked at 100+ animals a day. One Ram in particular caught my attention immediately. Day 2 of the hunt, after identifying a Ram that I really wanted the first day the guides formulated a plan to intersect him and the band the following day. The night prior the head guide told me *“I will take you right to that Ram tomorrow, I know where they will be, no problem”*. Although I certainly appreciate the confidence, I am realistic and know that you can of course see an animal one day and not turn him back up. That is of course ok, and the areas are so game rich you never know I might find another one that I like even more. The evening prior, the assisting guides took the horse string to a different valley system on the other side of the mountain where that band of Rams headed the evening prior. Our plan was to Land Rover over there early in the morning to meet up with them, and go spike out on that side however long needed to turn up that band of Rams. Sounds great to me! That is exactly what we did and I was very pleasantly surprised. At 7 am on the 2nd day of the hunt, we found that Ram… and he was almost exactly where the head guide said he would be several miles from where we left him the night before feeding. I could not hardly believe it, I figured it had to be a different Ram, there is no way he was that good. Well, it was a phenomenal mature Ram with the Wide Flaring Profile that I wanted regardless and in a picture perfect spot to stalk and shoot him. So that’s exactly what we did! Approaching the Ram, we knew from this knob we needed to get to, to the Sheep was going to be a sub 500 yard shot, of which I am well practiced going into the hunt. The thermals were perfect, and he did not know we were there yet. Offering the perfect opportunity to set up the spotter to film the shot and document everything for a lifetime. By 8 am on the 2nd day of the hunt, and on my very first hunt day I had successfully taken my very first Sheep. He is an absolute stud 9 1/2 year old Ram with the Profile I wanted, and he was in fact the Ram we scouted the day prior. Everything could not have been better executed! The pre planning, the stalk, the shot.. it was all simply perfection. After all of the excitement and high fives from the crew who shared my enthusiasm (or potentially even more), we began [taking pictures](https://outdoors-international.com/5-quick-tips-for-taking-better-trophy-photos-this-fall/) and preparing my Ram. I wanted to highlight this aspect of the trip because you only get one chance to do this part right. Pictures last forever, and I made it very clear to the staff that I wanted to take as much time as we needed. The full staff of guides, and assisting personnel were nothing but supportive of this crazy American that wanted pictures from every angle and lighting imagionable… honestly I would have been impatient with myself! Haha… but after about an hour we finished the deed. Not one part of the animal was wasted here too. I was blown away at the level of care that my animal was given. Not only the meat & trophy salvage, but also all of the samples that the Government inspector would take for their countries biologists. Quite humbling really, and great to know for other future hunters. We enjoyed our victory meal that evening with [fresh Marco Polo tenderloin](https://outdoors-international.com/marco-polo-hunting-tajikistan/) steaks and local fresh vegetables. ![Ibex hunting on horseback in Kyrgyzstan](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Hunting-on-Horses-in-Kyrgyzstan-ARQ-1020x765.jpeg "Hunting on Horses in Kyrgyzstan ARQ » Outdoors International") ## Off to Ibex Land I’ve coined the term *“Ibex Land”* because it really is quite different from the Marco Polo areas we were hunting the first two days. As the saying *“Goat hunting begins, where [sheep hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/sheep/) ends”* or something to that tune, it could not be more clearly demonstrated than in this country. We hunted Sheep at around 10-11k ft of elevation, and we didn’t even start seeing the Billy’s until around 13-13.5k ft of elevation. It literally takes your breath away… see what I did there? Day 3 of the hunt, and the first day in Ibex Land we were into Billy’s right away. The tactic to hunt mature Ibex is essentially to capitalize on the twice a day bed to feed pattern. The Billy’s descend from the cliffy craggy terrain late evening to feed & water overnight. Then in the early mornings, they work their way back up into the gnarly stuff to bed for the day. A great bit of the bedding areas they use are just simply inaccessible to human beings without technical equipment. So the name of the game for us hunters is to find a Mature Billy as early in the day as possible and in a spot that you can reasonably approach for a Stalk to execute a shot. ![Hunting Mid-Asian Ibex in Kyrgyzstan](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Kyle-Hanson-Mid-Asian-Ibex-Hunt-in-Kyrgyzstan-ARQ-1020x765.jpeg "Kyle Hanson Mid-Asian Ibex Hunt in Kyrgyzstan ARQ » Outdoors International") ### The Billy’s were simply next level compared to the Marco Polo. I cannot iterate that enough at how challenging it was to hunt Ibex in Ibex Land! My hat is off to anyone who has successfully done it because of not only the physicality, but also the difficulty of the Shooting! Average shots on Ibex are almost always 400-600 yards with opportunities to shoot farther for the experienced Rifleman. However, the Ibex do tend to bed on these knife ridges allowing good stalking terrain & cover as well as shooting ridge to ridge so to say. And that is exactly what we did. On that same 3rd day of my hunt we located a group of Billy’s bedded atop of a knife Ridge with another knife ridge perpendicular to it with potential shooting positions to shoot across the canyon from 500-800 yards. Using the ridge itself as cover we slowly maneuvered into place… that’s when the storm hit. Another challenge presented in this country and at high elevations, is the consistent storm that sets in by early afternoon nearly every day. As we set up the snow started to settle in and although we were able to put ourselves into a position for what I believed to be around a 500 or so yard shot, at this point the visibility was so poor that I could not confirm a range with my laser rangefinder. The day was lost but not without lessons learned and pre scouting for the following day. Day 4 of the hunt, we were back to Ibex Land. I quickly realized the strong sense of urgency here. We need to get to Ibex Land with enough time in the day to not only locate a Mature Billy, but also with enough time to hunt him before an afternoon storm sets in. All the while in some of the more extreme terrain and elevations you’ll likely hunt in your career.. Jeez!! I truly have a whole new respect for anyone who has successfully killed one of these cagy suckers. Fortunately, after getting a taste of Ibex hunting the day prior I was hooked on this game of cat & mouse. We were able to cover ground faster each day we were in the Mountains at elevation, and we knew right where we were going that day. We turned up many mature Ibex right away and almost like a repeat of the day prior used the same ridges for cover to move in for a shot on a group of Billy’s bedded atop a knife ridge. By noon that day, I had successfully taken my very first Goat species! A trip of many firsts apparently. Again, the stalk, the shot, the execution and everything was simply amazing. My guides were patient enough with me to help me set up my shooting position in awkward terrain for a 506 yard shot that ended up being one of the harder shots of my career [hunting the mountains](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/mountain-lion/). The shot distance of 506 yards, the 18 degree down angle, the switching thermals, the awkward and imperfect shooting positions all made for a true challenge. I was successful in taking him with one shot, that has now inspired me to get better and go back again!! ## Wrapping up the Hunt We were all successful at this point by the 4th day of the scheduled 10 day trip, and agreed to head back to Bishkek. Some stayed to soak up some culture, some rescheduled flights to head home early. All agreed it was truly an [adventure of a lifetime](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-safaris-in-mozambique/)! My clients are now friends, and my friends now lifelong bests as well as future hunting partners. Not even to mention the relationships made with our Kyrgy guides! We will stay in contact for years to come, they were simply amazing and without their expertise the trip would not have been so wonderful. Our travels home were as seamless as they were on the way there. All personnel and equipment made it back without a hitch, and I have nothing but confidence in doing it all again as well as recommending the trip to my future and current clients. The lessons learned and [experiences hunting Asia](https://outdoors-international.com/struck-by-lighting-in-kazakhstan/) are simply priceless as a hunter and world traveler. The return trip has already begun its planning for 2026 where we are going back to target Mid Asian Ibex again, and possibly even take 2 Billy’s each! The areas are game rich with truly impressive trophies, that I cannot wait to match wits with again!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

International **Excerpt:** My wife and I won this fully guided, all-inclusive New Zealand red stag hunt in the OI Draw! I highly recommend this hunt, and Outdoors International—fantastic company, amazing meals, and hunts that are second to none. **Content:** [New Zealand Red Stag Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/best-time-to-go-hunting-in-new-zealand/) February 24, 2025 ## My wife and I won this fully guided, all-inclusive hunt in the OI Draw! The entire experience was exceptional. The outfitter’s team was outstanding, providing support every step of the way. They helped us with all the necessary travel requirements for [New Zealand](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/south-pacific/new-zealand/) and prepared us for what to expect during the hunt. The wildlife we encountered was incredible, from the [Red stags](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/red-deer/) and [elk to the goats roaming freely](https://outdoors-international.com/elk-hunting-new-zealand/). Our guide, Sam, was excellent. On the first day, he had us within [30 yards of a group of stags](https://outdoors-international.com/outdoors-international-podcast-ty-cameron-new-zealand/) while we were glassing. Over the next three days, my wife and I successfully harvested a stag and two [fallow deer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/fallow-deer/).

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Here are 5 affordable elk hunts.](https://outdoors-international.com/5-elk-hunts-anyone-can-afford/) **Published:** February 5, 2021 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** An elk hunt is the dream of a lifetime for many, but it does not have to be a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence. **Content:** Many hunters wonder how much does it cost to go elk hunting, but they never get further than asking the question. Elk, Wapiti. The name conjures images of a majestic bull bugling in a mountain clearing, its breath steaming in the cool morning air. Pursuing these animals is a dream of many, but it does not have to be a pipe dream. By investing time in research and preparation, anyone can put a do-it-yourself [elk hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/elk/) together for less than $1,500 in a number of different states, including Colorado, Washington, Utah, Oregon, and Idaho. ## Colorado Long the prime destination for [DIY elk hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-prepare-for-backcountry-elk-hunting/), Colorado boasts unlimited over-the-counter non-resident tags for [archery season](https://outdoors-international.com/nate-fox-colorado-archery-elk-hunt-report/) and the second and third rifle seasons. [More elk are harvested in Colorado than any other state](https://outdoors-international.com/colorado-elk-hunting/), but Colorado also has the most elk hunters. This state is also a [great destination for family hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/jace-myers/) as a non-resident youth tag is affordable. ## Washington State Though a far drive for eastern hunters, [Washington](https://outdoors-international.com/washington-roosevelt-elk-hunting/) offers the cheapest tags for a non-resident elk permit. There are also several combination tag offerings if you wish to [hunt deer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/whitetail-deer/), [black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/washington-bear-hunts/), cougar, or small game in the state. There are 13.4 million acres of land open to hunting, about half that of Colorado, but there are also 75% fewer elk hunters competing for the animals on that land. ## Utah Heading over to [Utah](https://outdoors-international.com/utah-elk-hunting/), we find the second cheapest elk tag, which includes a one-year fishing permit. Antlerless elk tags cost about half of that. The management units are divided into any bull and spike-only units and the hunter must decide the type of unit they wish to hunt. [Archery hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/utah-archery-mule-deer-hunt-report/) may hunt in any unit, but the type of elk harvested is determined by the unit hunted in. A three-season tag is available covering archery, rifle, and muzzleloader seasons for a surprisingly affordable price. Utah also boasts the highest success rate of the over-the-counter tag states at nearly 26%. With over 34 million acres open to [hunting and one of the lowest numbers of elk](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/elk/) hunters on our list, this state deserves a solid look. ## Oregon Like Washington, [Oregon](https://outdoors-international.com/roosevelt-elk-hunting-in-oregon/) is home to coastal rainforests and both [Roosevelt](https://outdoors-international.com/roosevelt-elk-hunting/) and Rocky Mountain elk. Hunter success rates land in between Washington and Utah. The tags here are more expensive as well. What you get for that expense is access to nearly 35 million acres of hunting land. Active-duty service members can purchase licenses and permits at resident rates, making this a very affordable hunt for those currently serving. ## Idaho Last on our list is Idaho. This state has the most land available to hunt but is the most expensive. Offering lower hunter densities than Oregon and a higher success rate than Colorado, [Idaho](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-elk-hunting/) is still a decent value for those on a budget. Do not wait to purchase a tag if this is your chosen [hunting destination,](https://outdoors-international.com/our-10-most-popular-hunting-destinations/) as non-resident tags are (relatively) limited in quantity to approximately 12,500 and sold first-come-first-serve. ## **Pulling off a DIY Elk Hunt** ### Start saving. Stick $10 a week in a jar and you can go every two years, set aside $3 per day and you can make it a yearly event. That is as simple as packing a lunch for work instead of eating out. ### Consider booking a drop hunt. License and tag will be your largest expense on an [unguided elk drop camp hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/elk-drop-camp-hunts/), the rest of the cost is food and fuel. Skip the motels and drive straight through. Sleep in the vehicle and alternate drivers. Avoid buying fast food and pack sandwiches for the drive. Bring camp food from home or stop at the last Walmart you come to for groceries. ### Find a good hunting partner. A good hunting partner (or two) pays dividends on a trip like this, splitting up the costs of food and fuel, along with help field dressing an animal if one of you is successful. Get topo maps and study them, game plan your hunting days with your group and call wildlife biologists in the areas that you are considering to learn current field conditions. There is [no need for fancy gear](https://outdoors-international.com/elk-hunting-gear-list/), what you have for deer hunting will be fine. Pack light and remember that you will be on the move looking for elk and not waiting for them to come to you. Pick up some thrift store pillowcases for game bags to save a few more dollars and if they have a frame pack at Goodwill then grab it, but one is not required – just handy. ### Practice your shooting. You do not need a super lightweight magnum rifle either. Get premium ammunition for your elk rifle and practice. (Note: some states do have minimum caliber requirements) As an aside, please make sure to have a decent scope on your rifle to take full advantage of low light conditions. I would also spend serious time with your .22 rifle, getting comfortable and proficient shooting from various field positions. This is doubly true for any junior hunters that may be accompanying you on your hunt. ### Lastly, get in shape. Elk live in the high country and areas that are hard to reach. All the money saved will not matter if you can’t hoof it up and down the mountain for a week in pursuit. ### An elk hunt is the dream of a lifetime for many, but it does not have to be a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Spring](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-hunting/) I went [brown bear hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/) on the Alaska Peninsula with one of our clients, Bruce Templeton to vet a new outfitter. It was just days after chopping off the end of my finger…. with a lawnmower. But that’s a different story. We would be hunting in May. It was a tough, ten day grind of glassing from the exact same spot all day, every day… but on the tenth day they got it done on [a monster bear](https://outdoors-international.com/largest-brown-bears/). **Cory Glauner** / OI Owner ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Cory-Glauner-Horse-Kazakhstan-ARQ.jpg) Cory Glauner Founder, CTO With a background in web development, online marketing as well as years of experience as a hunting guide and outfitter, Cory Glauner is the founder of Outdoors International.

Photos and videos just don’t do it any justice. **Brown bear hunting in Alaska on the Peninsula switches from a [spring hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/john-labanc-alaska-brown-bear-hunt-report/) to a fall hunt every other year.** - Even numbered years are spring brown bear hunts and take place May 10-25. - Odd number years are the fall [brown bear hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/) which take place October 1-20. ![If you want to go on a brown bear hunt, be prepared to do a lot of glassing.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

South Africa --- ### [OI DRAW WINNER: Dason Lasater - African Hunting Safari](https://outdoors-international.com/african-safari-botes/) **Published:** July 2, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** "I won an OI Draw and it turned out to be one of my most memorable and rewarding experiences. This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing! He was able to keep me encouraged and motivated, and he suggested I hold out for true trophies. I would rate him an 11 on a scale from 1-10. I always dreamed about Africa, but never thought it'd be a reality for me." **Content:** Congratulations to OI Draw Winner, Dason Lasater for winning an [all-Inclusive, 5 Animal, South Africa Hunting Safari for Two](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-safari-in-south-africa/). June, 2018 ## Let me start by saying it was the trip of a lifetime! This is my first [guided hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/5-things-to-know-self-guided-moose-hunts/) and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me encouraged and motivated, and he suggested I hold out for true trophy animals. I would rate him an 11 on a scale from 1-10. I won one of this years [hunt giveaways from Outdoors International](https://outdoors-international.com/oi-draw-program/), along with [Brye Mangum](https://outdoors-international.com/brye-mangum-africa-hunt-winner/), and the moment Botes picked us up at the airport in South Africa and from that point on I knew we were in good hands. He was able to [help us get through security](https://outdoors-international.com/tips-for-us-hunters-traveling-to-africa/), and we were off to the hunting concession quickly. After arriving at the lodge and stowing our [Safari gear](https://outdoors-international.com/gear-list-for-an-african-plains-game-safari/) in very nice accommodations I took several shots with my bow to verify thing hadn’t moved while my Father shot his rifle at the range near the lodge. As we drove out on the first evenings hunt I was amazed to see [giraffes](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/giraffe-hunts/), [blue wildebeest](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/blue-wildebeest-hunts/), impala, [eland](https://outdoors-international.com/eland-hunting/), [warthogs](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/big-game/pigs/warthog/) and tons of [Burchell’s zebras](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/burchells-zebra-hunts/). We spent the evening [spot and stalk zebra hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/outfitter-report-africa-was-good-to-this-german-hunter/). The day culminated with me missing a 46 yard shot at a zebra stallion, after we slipped into the herd. I was bummed I had missed, but very excited to be on the ground in Africa. ### The hunt just got better and better and the quality of the trophy’s was astounding. I got two warthogs with my bow, one that has almost ten inches of exposed tusks, a beautiful zebra stallion, a 23.5 inch [impala](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/impala-hunts/), and a beautiful 54.5 inch [kudu](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/kudu-hunts/). The pictures and trophies will forever remind me of our experiences in Africa. This is not a canned hunt and was very rewarding as each trophy was collected. ### This hunt turned out to be one of my most memorable and rewarding hunts. I was able to [share the experience with my father](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-cody-kuck-and-his-dad-have-a-great-moose-hunt-3/). I have always dreamed about Africa, but never thought it would be a reality for me. My Dad told me all the way to Africa how this once in a lifetime hunt would one he wouldn’t forget. After only seven days of hunting he changed his story considerably. He told anyone who would listen about the trip and how he could wait to get back to Africa for another [hunt of a lifetime](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-safaris-in-mozambique/). ## Hunting in Africa is truly amazing and I can’t wait to get back.

I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

South Africa --- ### [Kyle Hanson: Alaska DIY Moose Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-kyle-hanson-diy-moose/) **Published:** January 5, 2017 **Author:** Kyle Hanson **Excerpt:** What an experience. Everything happened the way it was supposed to. My goals for this hunt were to have a safe, memorable father, son adventure and get both my dad and I decent bulls. **Content:** [Unguided Moose Hunt in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/unguided-moose-hunting-in-alaska/) September, 2016 ## What an adventure to say the least! It all started when I booked my [moose hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/moose/) trip with Outdoors International during the summer of 2015 for September of 2018. I finally was able to pull the trigger on this trip after trying to find a partner to go with, I ended up booking with none other than my own father! The [research and saving started slowly but surely](https://outdoors-international.com/preparing-for-an-unguided-hunt/). The following January while talking with my consultant, Russ Meyer, and I discovered that an opening for 2016 presented itself and I was the first to call dibs if I wanted it. Of course my father and I jumped at the opportunity to bump dates, even though I had no idea how to make it work I still said yes. Fast forward to arriving in Bethel, Alaska the day before the hunt. There were [several hunters waiting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-kory-deming-moose/) to get into the field as the pilots couldn’t fly for two straight days. Luckily we were able to get into the field on schedule the following day, however we barely squeezed in as the last flight of the day. Dad and I were able to get camp set up and to bed and ready for the first day of hunting without an issue. Our lake ended up being how I imagined it; [wet, soft, flat ground](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-tyler-crocketts-moose-hunt/). On the bright side though there is patches of cover and spruce trees along with the tundra to hold moose. The first morning of [moose hunting](/moose-hunting-facts/) we decided to do a short loop around camp to [look for calling sites](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-call-moose/), trails, and just get a game plan for the following days. During this quick scouting [trip that’s when we discovered](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-cast-and-blast/) we weren’t alone. Unfortunately, eight [Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/united-states/alaska/) residents were [moose hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-trophy-moose-hunt/) the opposite side of our lake from us. We decided to get on the [inReach](https://outdoors-international.com/garmin-inreach-mini/)![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=1f9d03e24d7a67cf6f215eda6a11bcaf&_cb=1565202644331) and see what the outfitter wanted us to do. He was just as surprised as us and at that point we hoped that it was just a family of natives out for the day so he encouraged us to keep hunting and he would do a flyover to double check as soon as he was able. So we kept hunting! The next couple days we saw a few moose, [had a bull wake us up in the middle of the night raking and grunting in our camp](https://outdoors-international.com/by-the-skin-of-my-teeth/), continued to scout the area and improve our tactics, but had some bad weather move in that kept the moose bedded down. Unfortunately we were still seeing the group of people across the lake from us daily and on the third day of hunting [they killed a moose](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-andrew-gegelman-moose/) and we found some fresh kill sites from earlier in the month. Spirits were low due to circumstances but we just contacted the outfitter and let him know what we were still running into and he decided at that point we were going to get moved in a few days when he could get into us with the weather but continued to encourage us to keep after it. So we kept hunting! That night we had even more nasty wind and rain move in that kept us up part of the night. Mother nature continued to hand it to us into the morning as well. At first lite I got up and started getting dressed in full waders and rain gear to go out for the morning, Dad says to me “*I can’t believe you are about to go out in this shit*“, I replied “*I’ve waited too long and I’m paying hundreds by the day to be here, I’m going, I’m not staying in the tent.*” I left with full intentions to go away from camp to a good glassing calling spot I used the day before but decided to go glass the lake first as we’ve seen moose out in the open in the lake first thing. That’s when it happened…I spotted two cows and a bull 5-600 yards up the lake shore from us. I dropped down and got my binos![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=f653ca6bf96f26317d7f1bd98ae10196&_cb=1565202735196) out to glass him up. He looked bigger than anything we had seen so far so I decided to go get a closer look. I realized pretty quick he was in fact the biggest bull we had seen and I wanted to make him mine. [Dad was sawing logs](https://outdoors-international.com/building-trail-fishing-wolves/) in the tent and the moose were grazing away from our location so I pushed off solo to make my play. It was windy, cold, and raining hard but that worked in my favor to cover my noise and scent as wind was blowing straight into my face. I stalked to within 200 yards relatively quickly between crouching and crawling through the brushy lake shore but got pinned in the open without anything to rest the rifle on. However another 75 yards down the shore was a slight raise on the bank that would provide me a rest and conceal me if I could stay low enough. I certainly did as I low crawled up to that point through the Muskeg and tundra soup filling my sleeves up with cold water… I made it, put the rifle up on my binoculars harness![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=ff95e0d123f8ad2c2c1044702af07b25&_cb=1565202774021), ranged him and glassed him one more time before making the decision to take him in the water. He was still grazing away and just over 200 yards now so I asked myself “*how bad do you really want him?*” I just smiled and lined up the cross hairs waiting for him to turn broadside. As soon as he turned I opened up the 300 and landed 4 good hits as he just stood there soaking it up. While I was reloading he started spinning and I knew right then, oh boy he’s going… going… splash, he’s down! I got my Bull! ![Kyle Hanson with the bull that started his moose hunting addiction.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Kyle-hanson-moose-client-RAA-diy-alaska.jpg "Kyle hanson moose client RAA diy alaska » Outdoors International")Kyle Hanson with the bull that started his moose hunting addiction.I decided to go back to wake dad up before putting hands on him for the first time. I ran back soaked through the slop and beat on the side of the tent hollering bull down! He had already started getting dressed when he heard the shots. We went up got our pictures and started planning the “[float out](https://outdoors-international.com/mark-feifarek-alaska-fishing-report-aniak-river-float/)“. We were able to tie his head off to the raft and float him all the way back to camp where we butchered him. We continued to [hunt the next few days until we moved camps,](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-shaun-smith-drop-camp-moose-hunt/) still seeing a few moose here and there but no other big Bulls. Our [meat hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/shane-mahoney-north-american-wildlife-conservation-model/) guests across the lake also continued to hunt, harvesting another two moose by our guess by the time we left. ![Kyle packing out his DIY moose](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Kyle-Hanson-Packing-Moose-Alaska-EXO-1020x1020.jpg "Kyle Hanson Packing Moose Alaska EXO » Outdoors International")Packing out a moose is an incredible, yet incredibly difficult feeling.Arriving in our new spot, we were amazed to say the least. Rolling hills, beautiful lake, spruce and birch trees everywhere. Best part, [solid ground and no waders](https://outdoors-international.com/adam-de-ruyter-moose-hunt-report/)! We had camp set up by mid afternoon and due to all the extra trees we were able to set up a cooking tarp as a luxury. Right as we were just getting done putting up the tent a bull walked out in the open across our lake. Younger but pretty bull! Our spirits were high with the [new spot away from the natives](https://outdoors-international.com/rod-emerson/) and a spot with solid ground it was like going on two separate hunts all together! ![unguided moose camp](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/unguided-moose-camp-1024x768.jpg "» Outdoors International") A camp up out of the mud was a very welcome thing! Our first legal [hunting day we saw no moose](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/moose/) whatsoever but heard them, which was a first so far as the last spot we didn’t hear any cows and only the occasional grunt. Throughout the entire hunt up till this point we had been using a combination of raking, grunts and cow moans. We decided to back off a little bit at the new lake and just stick to less aggressive cow moans as the rut seemed behind schedule. The next morning I heard and spotted a group of two cows and two bulls on the opposite side of a neighboring lake from us. The cows were actually firing back at me before the bulls surprisingly. Too far to make a play though. So that night we stayed up after dark and repeated the calling sequence that got the response that morning in hopes of drawing a bull in overnight near camp. The following morning I was out of the tent before sunrise and picked up my calling sequence where I left off before getting the coffee![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=c540470c7fafc4a1d77c405682d08ca5&_cb=1565202871943) going. Dad finally rolled out of the tent to come check on the coffee and as soon as he did he noticed a shooter bull standing in the tree line right by camp! White as a ghost he says to me “*it’s a shooter I’m going to take him, stay down.*” I couldn’t hardly believe it, so I did not stay down. I got up to confirm and there he was dad’s bull was 150 yards from camp taking us down. I talked him through it making sure he waited for the broadside shot and as soon as the bull turned it was all over for him. Same as my bull, he just stood there soaking it up until he started to spin and he was down. Only this time on solid ground, yes! We finished brewing the coffee and walked out to get our pictures before butchering him up. What an [amazing Alaska wilderness experience](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-wilderness-adventures/). Everything happened the way it was supposed to. My goals for this hunt were to have a safe, memorable [father, son adventure](https://outdoors-international.com/paul-thacker/) and get both my dad and I decent bulls. We also booked extra days for this hunt which saved us. We killed our bulls on the fourth and twelfth day of the hunt. Had we not book a couple extra days dad would have came home without a bull. ![ptarmagin hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/ptarmagin-hunting-1024x768.jpg "» Outdoors International") Ptarmigan are everywhere in Alaska, and they’re great eating! To add to our success at this wonderful spot, [Ptarmigan](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-upland-bird-hunting/) were everywhere. I had already decided if we had time I wanted to get some [Ptarmigan hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/wingshooting/) in. Well I affectionately nicknamed the day after we killed dad’s bull as “Ptarmigedon”, it most certainly was. By noon I had a couple taken with my Glock pistol for lunch. The following day we had two planes come get both us and our [moose out of the field](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-field-judge-a-moose/). From this point we packed our heads, self butchered our bulls, and packed to come home. **We did it!** Two Midwestern[whitetail hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/illinois-whitetail-deer-hunt/) from Iowa, got it done. Can’t wait for round two to go back for a monster. ![Moose back at the hangar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Moose-back-at-the-hangar-e1594300289228.jpg "» Outdoors International") Having a hunting consultant really takes the headache out of finding good outfits. Thank you Russ Meyer and Outdoors International. ### \*\*UPDATE\*\* After returning from this hunt, [Kyle](https://outdoors-international.com/about-us/kyle-hanson/) became an Outdoors International Hunting Consultant and has since thrived. He did keep his promise to himself to go back again after a monster bull the next year.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10!

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.

I had to lower his standards as things had changed in my hunting area, but we’re sure it felt good to have some success. ## Growing up, September was the month I lived for. [Elk hunting is just plain fun](https://outdoors-international.com/archery-elk-hunting-misery-elation-pure-joy/), and I’d gotten pretty spoiled with some [awesome elk hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/elk/) here in [Idaho](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/united-states/idaho/). Over the years I have shot my fair shares of nice bulls, but things have changed… and three years of Tag Soup hadn’t gone down very easy for me. I wasn’t used to it and I didn’t like it very much. [I’d had opportunities at elk](https://outdoors-international.com/blown-opportunities/), but I had been [holding out for mature bulls](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-elk/). My standards had risen over time, and last year I decided it was time to break that dry spell. Friday the 13th turned out to be my lucky day. – [Cory Glauner](https://outdoors-international.com/about-us/cory-glauner/) ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

International! I'm very excited for the trip! I’ll be bringing my dad along with me. If you haven’t put in for the OI draws you should these guys are legit!" **Content:** ### Thank you Outdoors International! It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ### Tyler won an [Idaho Steelhead Fishing Trip for Two on the Clearwater River](https://outdoors-international.com/steelhead-fishing-clearwater-river-idaho/) in the [OI Draw](https://outdoors-international.com/oi-draw-program/). The [Clearwater River in Idaho](https://outdoors-international.com/adventures-in-idaho/) is home to the famous B-Run Steelhead. These are some of the biggest steelhead in the entire Columbia River Basin. Fish average 12-15 pounds, with some topping the 20 pound mark coming to the boats every year! [This is a special trip for special fish](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-clearwater-steelhead-report-by-ernie-sorensen/) that travel about 650 miles and six dams to get there and go further upstream to spawn! **RETAIL COST OF TRIP:** $6,317.60 **DATE OF TRIP:** February 13-16, 2023 ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

We won this fully guided, all-inclusive New Zealand red stag hunt in the OI Draw! I highly recommend this hunt, and Outdoors International—fantastic company, amazing meals, and hunts that are second to none. **Brandon Ball** / OI Draw Winner ![Brye with his awesome kudu bull](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Brye-Mangum-Africa-Hunt-Winner-Trip-Report9.jpeg "Brye-Mangum-Africa-Hunt-Winner-Trip-Report9 » Outdoors International") ### I’m so grateful for the opportunity! Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH’s and their awesome staff. I made some new friends and will be back to Africa again 100%. **Brye Mangum** / OI Draw Winner ![Impala](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Dason-Lasiter-Client-South-Africa-Plains-Game-Hunt-Winner-DWHS-Archery-impala.jpg "Dason Lasiter Client South Africa Plains Game Hunt Winner DWHS Archery impala » Outdoors International") ### My most memorable and rewarding experience. This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

Sayles](https://outdoors-international.com/mexico-fishing-trip-giveaway/) **Published:** February 6, 2025 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Congratulations to Seth Sayles for winning this great Offshore sailfishing trip in Mexico for two (with $500 of travel expenses thrown in). You're going to love it, great trip. **Content:** ### [Fully Guided, All-Inclusive Offshore and Inshore Mexico Fishing Trip for Two, with $500 for Travel Expenses!](https://outdoors-international.com/mexico-sailfish/) Resting 50 nautical miles south of Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, the remote fishing village of Puerto Vicente is a [hidden Mexico sailfish paradise](https://outdoors-international.com/mexico-sailfish/). Tucked away from the crowds and traffic of Mexico’s booming tourist destinations. This remote section of the Costa Grande is Ranked #2 in the World for Sailfishing by *Sport Fishing Magazine*. ### Catch Sailfish, Dorado, Roosterfish and more… - Productive Pelagic fishing is found only one mile off the shore from the lodge. - Offshore species found in these waters include: Pacific sailfish; Black marlin; dorado; Yellowfin tuna; and wahoo. - Inshore species found in these waters include: jacks; Spanish mackerel; roosterfish; and snook. Despite all this great angling, you’ll probably be the only boat on the water when you fish with us. Due to the distance, the big chartered fishing vessels from Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo don’t fish here on a regular basis. And without the crowds, you’ll have a much more relaxed Mexico sailfish vacation. ### The fishing lodge rests along a half-moon-shaped beach, and provides an authentic, old-world Mexico experience. The lodge is a handmade adobe building with seven rooms, each with their own bathroom and air conditioning. Cool off with a soak in the small outdoor pool and then unwind under a thatched-roof palapa while sipping a frosty beer. These little perks are nice. But what you’ll remember the most (aside from the fishing, of course) will be the fantastic Mexican food and friendly service. ### Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included during your stay. Savor authentic Mexican fare and a wide range of seafood dishes, including fresh-caught tuna sashimi, prepared by a talented chef. And if you have any special requests, just ask. Fresh snacks and drinks are always within reach at the lodge. - Each room includes a private bathroom and air conditioning. - Common area with a hammock, patio and a small pool surrounded by landscaped gardens. - There is a beautiful, nearly private, soft-sand beach just a short walk from the lodge. ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today! We’re looking forward to helping you book a great trip with an amazing outfitter. ![The B-Run Steelhead on the Clearwater River are huge!](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/AF990EE9-56DE-4C83-9308-D719F40772C2-e1676412880239-280x280.jpeg "Ernie Sorensen Client Patrick Kissel Idaho Steelhead Fishing Clearwater River ASC » Outdoors International") ### Thank you Outdoors International! It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won! We won this fully guided, all-inclusive New Zealand red stag hunt in the OI Draw! I highly recommend this hunt, and Outdoors International—fantastic company, amazing meals, and hunts that are second to none. **Brandon Ball** / OI Draw Winner ![Brye with his awesome kudu bull](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Brye-Mangum-Africa-Hunt-Winner-Trip-Report9.jpeg "Brye-Mangum-Africa-Hunt-Winner-Trip-Report9 » Outdoors International") ### I’m so grateful for the opportunity! Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH’s and their awesome staff. I made some new friends and will be back to Africa again 100%. **Brye Mangum** / OI Draw Winner ![Impala](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Dason-Lasiter-Client-South-Africa-Plains-Game-Hunt-Winner-DWHS-Archery-impala.jpg "Dason Lasiter Client South Africa Plains Game Hunt Winner DWHS Archery impala » Outdoors International") ### My most memorable and rewarding experience. This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

Sailfish --- ### [OI DRAW WINNER: Christopher Adams](https://outdoors-international.com/oi-draw-winner-christopher-adams/) **Published:** February 9, 2023 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Congratulations to OI Draw Winner, Christopher Adams! He won a Fully Guided Mexico Coues Deer Hunt. **Content:** ## Congratulations to OI Draw Winner, Christopher Adams for winning a Fully Guided, [Coues Deer Hunt in Mexico.](https://outdoors-international.com/mexico-coues-deer-hunt/) Cory just got back from hosting this trip with his buddy Mark Pearson. They had a ball and Mark got a super awesome buck on the first morning of the hunt after seeing multiple shooters the night before. You’re going to have an absolute ball on this trip Chris. Congratulations and we can’t wait to hear about it when you get back! ### Watch us give this hunt away live on [our YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfV5WkZynFE): We’ve all heard the horror stories about hunting in Mexico, but don’t worry about this [Coues deer hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/coues-deer/). Prior to your hunt, he’ll help you with all of the paperwork and logistics you need. When it’s time to go, you’ll meet your guide in Tucson, Arizona. He’ll be bilingual, and accompany you across the border to the ranch that you’ll be hunting. In our opinion, this outfitter offers the best fully guided Mexico Coues [deer hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hungary-roe-deer-hunt/). These hunts take place in December and January during the rut. The outfitter manages a number of different [ranches across Sonora](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-destinations/north-america/mexico/), each ranging from 30 and 50 square miles. By limiting the number of hunters on each ranch, they have been able to maximize trophy quality over the years. There is a good possibility for a 90-inch Coues deer, with the very real potential for a larger buck. Huge bucks come off of these ranches almost every year. **RETAIL COST OF TRIP:** $5,300 **DATE OF TRIP:** January, 2024 ### By the way, here’s an interesting backstory on Chris (the winner of this draw). In 2019, Chris booked an [elk/mule deer combo hunt with us in Idaho](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-elk-hunting/). It’s a really good backcountry [elk hunt and a decent mule deer hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/elk/). When we book that one we have to be really careful to set realistic expectations. You should be happy with any mature bull, but you’re likely to see some good ones. As for [mule deer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/mule-deer/), it’s a 130-150 inch hunt, with decent opportunity. It’s not where you go to shoot a stomper mule deer. Anyway, I guess Chris didn’t listen because that’s not how it turned out. ### Check out this monster! ![Christopher Adams with his giant 238 inch Idaho backcountry mule deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Chris-Adams-Client-2019-Idaho-Giant-238-Mule-Deer-BHON.jpg "Chris Adams Client 2019 Idaho Giant 238 Mule Deer BHON » Outdoors International") ![In 2019, Chris booked an elk/mule deer combo hunt with us in Idaho. In his own words “This was primarily an elk hunt, but it turned mule deer hunt in a hurry. Day one finding him in the middle of the day at the top of a drainage with a pile of does.”](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Christopher-Adams-Client-2019-Idaho-Giant-238-Mule-Deer-BHON.jpg "Christopher Adams Client 2019 Idaho Giant 238 Mule Deer BHON » Outdoors International") In his own words *“This was primarily an elk hunt, but it turned mule deer hunt in a hurry. Day one finding him in the middle of the day at the top of a drainage with a pile of does.”* Long story short (this one might be one for the podcast), Chris ended up killing a 238 inch absolute SLOB of a mule deer. I think we can safely say that Christopher Adams must be living right. Lucky sucker. 🙂 ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won!

Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH’s and their awesome staff. I made some new friends and will be back to Africa again 100%. **Brye Mangum** / OI Draw Winner ![Impala](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Dason-Lasiter-Client-South-Africa-Plains-Game-Hunt-Winner-DWHS-Archery-impala.jpg "Dason Lasiter Client South Africa Plains Game Hunt Winner DWHS Archery impala » Outdoors International") ### My most memorable and rewarding experience. This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

[Kyle Hanson: Spring Barren Ground Muskox Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/spring-barren-ground-muskox-hunt-report-by-kyle-hanson/) **Published:** April 12, 2022 **Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** [Spring Barren Ground Muskox Hunt in Nunavut Territories, Canada](https://outdoors-international.com/nunavut-muskox-hunting/) March, 2022 This spring I was fortunate to go to Nunavut Territories with my bow in hopes of taking a [Barren Ground Muskox](https://outdoors-international.com/subspecies-of-musk-ox/). *“Umingmak”*, or *“The Bearded One”*, has been on my bucket list since I began hunting as a young man. There is literally nothing else out there like a [Muskox](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/buffalo-bovines/muskox/). An animal still virtually unchanged from the Ice Age. The [adventure was a once in a lifetime](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-safaris-in-mozambique/) experience that I will never forget! This was the first spring hunt open since the Covid travel restrictions were put in place two years ago, [our Outfitter and his guides](https://outdoors-international.com/nunavut-muskox-hunting/) were eager to get back out there. Arriving to our Inuit Community we were greeted by the Outfitter and escorted to our Hotel that we would base out of for the duration of the trip. After a tour around the community we settled in and prepped equipment for the following day. Also on arrival the head guide let us know that he *“knew exactly where the animals were, and if they didn’t go far we should be in for a short hunt”*. The game plan, weather pending of course was to go out on the land and take two bulls and come back all in the same day. [We packed to stay out for a few days](https://outdoors-international.com/arctic-hunting-gear/) if needed. ![Kyle's hunting group](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/20220331_171945-1270x953.jpg "Inuit Guides Arctic Nunavut Canada CNO1 » Outdoors International") Morning of the first hunt day our guides met us at the hotel and we loaded everything up to head out in the *“Qamutik”* pulled behind the snow machines. Oddly, I really looked forward to experiencing this aspect of the hunt. The expedition and riding around by traditional means with our Inuit Guides was very important to me. However, I will say that it was the most difficult aspect of the trip! Thankfully our guides did a great job of packing the Qamutik with padding and secured everything for the ride out. We ended up going 180 miles round trip that one day. The warmest it got was around -7 degrees F in the middle of the afternoon. ![Morning of the first hunt day our guides met us at the hotel and we loaded everything up to head out in the “Qamutik’s” pulled behind the snow machines.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/20220331_184213-1270x953.jpg "Snow machine Arctic Ice Snow Inuit Muskox Hunt CNO1 » Outdoors International") It took about 4 hours of riding in the Qamutik to get up to the area where the herds were last spotted. It was a bumpy ride on the lake ice! Interestingly, the most direct means of travel is on the frozen lakes up there. Everything is completely frozen barren ground of course but the lake systems are all interconnected and so they have highways on the ice essentially they followed with GPS. They took us straight to the wintering grounds of the Muskox. Once in the area it was [just a matter of glassing](https://outdoors-international.com/greenland-muskox-hunt-report-by-austin-legg/) and picking up the herd, which only took a matter of two ridges before we picked them up. ![Very little cover](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/20220331_184141-1270x953.jpg "Ice Snow Arctic CNO1 » Outdoors International") I asked my guide, *“How do we approach from here?*“. The area has very little cover other than a few rolling ridges and seemingly endless open ground. Easy for spotting of course, however difficult for the stalk. The herd was approximately 2,000 yards away on a ridge. *“Uqi”*, Tom my guide told me that we would need to approach on the snow machine & Qamutik then drop the sled before our final stalk. The animals will most likely be alarmed, however we’ll need to ready the bow. At that point we would pursue the animals until they presented a shot. It was a seamless stalk and the animals did exactly as my guide said they would. It was a neat feeling to pursue a herd of Umingmak with the Inuit, working together to provide me as the hunter with the shot. It came pretty quickly, as [the lead bull and another big old bull](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-muskox/) sought the high ground after separating. This allowed for a final approach with the bow. The two bulls were back to back covering their perimeter and holding their ground as I eased into Bow Range. Once inside 40 yards I began the process of the shot. I say process because it is exactly that with all of the Arctic Layering items on, which is an interesting topic in itself [how amazing the Outfitter’s gear was](https://outdoors-international.com/arctic-hunting-gear/). They knew exactly how to set a bowhunter up for success, despite wearing a moon suit of arctic gear! But back to the shot…Remove Mittens, Drop Arctic Parka and Mittens inside one another, Remove Snow Goggles, Range, Draw and release… I absolutely pinwheeled my Muskox at just under 40 yards. He hunched hard at the shot and went about 25 yards before he expired. ![I absolutely pinwheeled my Muskox at just under 40 yards.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/20220331_161739-1050x1400.jpg "Arrow Broadhead Kyle Hanson Muskox CNO1 » Outdoors International") Tom and I high fived and celebrated as the Bull went down so quickly, I also put my gear back on to approach the bull. We took a few minutes to position him and [take some great photos](https://outdoors-international.com/oi-podcast/), which I am so thankful for. It would have been so easy to just rush through the process as we were in sub 0 freezing conditions. My guide was very understanding of wanting to take the best pictures possible and soaking up the moment. I can say that without him willing to be patient with me, this experience would not have been so wonderful. With his help I was able to successfully and safely take one of the most amazing [big game animals in North America](https://outdoors-international.com/super-slam-of-north-american-big-game/) AND with a bow! ![Kyle decked out in his Arctic gear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/20220331_171752-1050x1400.jpg "Kyle Hanson Arctic Gear CNO1 » Outdoors International") These hunts are typically conducted 2:2, or two hunters & two guides. Our other hunter with us went after one part of the herd while Tom and I pursued our group. After we processed and packaged up our Bull we went and met up with the other guys. They were also successful in taking a great Bull at the same time. Two mature bulls down in the first day of the hunt! ![My guide was very understanding of wanting to take the best pictures possible and soaking up the moment.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/20220331_170541-1270x953.jpg "Muskox Sled CNO1 » Outdoors International") ### Travel to and from the United States Travels were seamless with our Nunavut Outfitter. Every aspect of this entire trip was very closely looked after and nothing was left to question. Easily the most organized operation I have had the [opportunity to hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/mule-deer/) with. However, it should be known that there are a lot of details that go into an Arctic Expedition. My travel began in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and ended in the Nunavut Community. It takes two days of travel and Canadian Customs to arrive there, and two days to get home. - I flew commercially to Winnipeg, Manitoba where we spent the night before flying into Nunavut. - Arriving to my hotel in Winnipeg my entire Arctic Clothing Rental system was waiting for me from the Outfitter. - On the return home flights I was able to bring my full body cape, skull/horns, and a small amount of meat home with me too! - This does require some additional planning with packaging and expediting permits, however they took care of this for me prior to departure so I could bring my animal back on the same flights. To include freezer storage at the hotel back in Winnipeg between travels home. ![Kyle Hanson with his archery Barren Ground Muskox](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/20220331_151633-scaled.jpg "Kyle Hanson Nunavut Canada Arctic Barren Ground Muskox Archery CNO1 » Outdoors International") - **How would you rate your trip overall?** Great!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

--- ### [Bedroom Bugles - Patrick Kissel's Utah Archery Elk Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/bedroom-bugles/) **Published:** September 24, 2018 **Author:** Patrick Kissel **Excerpt:** From where I stood when I released the arrow his blood trail started just 7 feet away.... **Content:** It had been 8 years since I last [hunted elk](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/elk/) with my bow, college wrestling and my guiding jobs after had always prevented me from being in the elk woods in September. I still remember my brother calling me I was [sitting around a fire with my girlfriend](https://outdoors-international.com/lacey-savage-gets-engaged/) in [North Idaho](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/united-states/idaho/) when he asked when [my guiding season in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/life-in-waders/) was done. I said *“I’m not sure September 22 or so…”*. “*damn it!”* He yelled through the phone. I knew right away and I asked what tag I drew. With excitement *“X unit [elk hunt in Utah](https://outdoors-international.com/utah-elk-hunting/), dude you gotta figure this out. You won’t get these points back.”* I had already turned back my [mule deer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/mule-deer/) tag for [a good unit in Colorado](https://outdoors-international.com/colorado-mule-deer-hunting/) so I could take this job in [Bristol Bay](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-salmon-fishing-bristol-bay-lodge/). I told him I’ll ask the new boss when I get to the lodge. Luckily it all worked out and I bought my plane ticket to Utah for September 4th. ### My brother picked me up from the airport and after a few hours of [organizing gear](https://outdoors-international.com/elk-hunting-gear-list/) at camp and shooting my bow the hunt was on. The first night all I really wanted to [hear was a bugle](https://outdoors-international.com/the-misadventures-of-rance-and-dave/) and maybe glass a bull from far. I think I heard 3 or 4 bugles and typical of us we immediately chased one of the bugles that came from a direction he had pre scouted a big bull. We finally spotted the bull that was bugling on a hillside across the canyon he was a 7×8 but a small frame [maybe a 320 bull](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-late-season-bulls-in-new-mexico/) and I decided to go in for a stalk. I was at 35 yards with the bull raking; all I could see was the scrub oaks moving and a couple tines. Quite honestly I’m happy the wind whirled and he blew out of there because I probably wouldn’t have been able to hold back even though the goal was to look for a 350 or better bull. ### ![Day two found us glassing from a ridge at first light and it didn’t take long for my brother to spot the bull we were after!](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/bd73d1514c4c1d413224c8c5d24ce2c0-1024x768.jpg "» Outdoors International") ### Day two found us glassing from a ridge at first light and it didn’t take long for my brother to spot the bull we were after! We ran as fast as we could a mile and half back to the jeep to get around and drop in on the 360 plus bull. He was with 20 cows and we got to 60 yards before he picked us out, with no shot I let my bow down as he ran off with his cows. We looked at each other and shrugged, *“well we almost had him I can’t complain we are into bulls”.* That night we spotted another bull and dropped in on him yet never turned him up but instead [called in another hunter](https://outdoors-international.com/kent-goodman/). As we were walking out my brother got the message about Jason Hairston. It was a tough night of deep dumbfounded thoughts, I had never seen my brother so shook up, but I do remember him saying, *“let’s go kill a big bull that’s what he’d want”*. I said *“yea man he’d want us on the mountain, this is the best place for us”*. The following day [we chased another bull all through the canyon](https://outdoors-international.com/the-highs-and-lows-of-archery-hunting/) only to close the gap to 80 before the satellite bull came in and busted us. ### Our good buddy Colton from college showed up that night to help spot bulls. The next morning we had Colton [glass from the ridge](https://outdoors-international.com/my-daughters-first-bear-hunt/) while my brother and I were glassing from different spots on the road trying to turn up another big bull. Colton called us on the radio and said [he had bulls bugling](https://outdoors-international.com/archery-elk-hunting-tips/) off the backside of the mountain he’s on and one is nonstop and fired up with a deep growly bugle. AJ and I got to a point where we could glass and I quickly turned him up along with a few smaller bulls and cows all around. ### We watched him for a couple hours and knew [he was a good bull](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-elk/), especially his fronts. He didn’t go to bed where we had hoped but instead went into the same nasty stuff we were in the previous morning. The bulls on this unit seem to all bed at the bottom because of the pressure from the roads on top. They bed in the dark timber or maples just a couple hundred feet from the bottom. It makes it easy to get down to them but then you get to climb out a steep 1,800 feet or more keeping most people out and letting the bulls get big. ### We made our plan and started down to him. He only bugled three times as we snuck in but he had another bull below him that helped us pinpoint about where he was. We were within 120 yards when we hit a roadblock. It was hot, there was no wind and the ground was dry and crunchy [even with my boots off](https://outdoors-international.com/black-bear-of-a-lifetime/) I couldn’t help but make what seemed like too much noise to close the gap. Not to mention the mountainside was littered with dead falls and head high vegetation. We were in his bedroom but it seemed impossible for me to get in close for a shot. As we waited for about two hours in the sun, there were no more bugles from him, yet the other bull bugled once. Maybe he had smelled us? I tiptoed back to [AJ](https://outdoors-international.com/aj-kissel-archery-desert-bighorn/) and said I’m going to sneak down another 40 yards to where I have a shooting lane. Let’s try and bugle, see if he answers, I’ll let you know when I’m ready. ### My brother ripped off [one of the best deep aggressive bugles](https://outdoors-international.com/4-reasons-everyone-should-book-a-hunt/) I had ever heard. It wasn’t two seconds before we got our answer and then another one. Our bull was still there and he was mad. I could hear him now and he was up from his bed, and ran up to a better shooting lane so I had both sides covered. I figured if he heard me now he would just think I’m the bull he wants to fight. There were short and tight shooting lanes with 20 yards to my right, 25 to my left, and nothing below me. He was coming now. ### I could hear him but couldn’t see him. [My heart was thumping out of my chest](https://outdoors-international.com/by-the-skin-of-my-teeth/). I first got my glimpse at 20 yards straight below me. I saw his big seconds and 3rds breaking through the brush. He was coming straight to me. A few steps then he would stop and look around, then a few more. My chest thumping so hard now with each heart beat my entire body shook. He was at 5 yards now. ### Crouched behind my bow with my eyes squinted so he wouldn’t see the shiny glare from them, I was stuck. He was looking right through me for that bull and was ready to fight. I thought he was certainly going to bolt when I drew. He took a few more steps and as his right antler tangled and pushed through a pine bow I knew it was my opportunity. I smoothly drew my bow, by the time I got anchored he was really close and all I was focused on was his shoulder, he was quartering to me. After my release, I watched my arrow bury to the fletching. I couldn’t hold it in; [and yelled at the top of my lungs](https://outdoors-international.com/high-country-velvet-dreams/), I knew I had him. ### My brother was there in an instant and he tried to calm me and make sure that I actually got a good arrow in him. I was shaking and explained how the hunt unfolded. From where I stood when I released the arrow his blood trail started just 7 feet away. I’ve been fortunate to of harvested two big bulls with my bow and the last one was also within 10 feet. Unbelievable! We were so stoked; we hugged, threw high fives, and punched each other. [That feeling you get after it all comes together on a big game animal is unparalleled](https://outdoors-international.com/archery-elk-hunting-misery-elation-pure-joy/). I’ve never had anything else in this world compare. ![That feeling you get after it all comes together on a big game animal is unparalleled, I’ve never had anything else in this world compare.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/a89ae383cd015cd03547d7fd5b85d06a.jpg "» Outdoors International") ### We got down to my bull and got to work taking pictures and quartering him out. My brother packed the front, neck meat, rib meat, back strap, and inner loin. I took the [hind quarters](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-cut-up-the-hind-quarter-of-a-deer/) on the first load. Once we reached the top of the mountain and got out to the trailhead we met with our good buddy John. He’s who initially told us where the big bulls would be in this unit. He came in to help pack out the second load, but he really just wanted to hear the story and see where I shot him. ### ![Patrick with his great Utah bull](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/0a7b42bdb3457943732b107e4d3579ff.jpg "» Outdoors International") ### I’m still in awe of this hunt and still can’t believe how it all worked out. I have to give [my brother](https://www.instagram.com/aj.kissel/) most of the credit I just pulled the release. It not been for him being there early, we wouldn’t have had the understanding of the area that we needed. Just five days earlier I was at the edge of the Bering Sea at our [remote camp guiding](https://outdoors-international.com/bbl-alaska-fishing-guide/) clients to some [silver salmon fishing](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing-trips/species/salmon-fishing/) and [rainbow trout on a fly rod](https://outdoors-international.com/teetering-on-three-wheels-a-healthy-hike-and-too-many-trout-to-count/). Now I’m tagged out in Utah smiling from ear to ear! ![Once we reached the top of the mountain and got out to the trailhead we met with our good buddy John who initially pointed us in the direction of where the big bulls would be hanging out in this unit.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/b101fb8de32abaf24ad55732a4573a63.jpg "» Outdoors International") Sadly on September 12th the unit went up in flames. High winds that blew embers from a small “contained” fire that had been burning in [wilderness area](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-sheep-hunt/) for weeks. The unit was closed the following day and livestock, wildlife, and homes were lost. Over 80% of the unit burned and I am lucky I was able to harvest my bull when I did. My [Utah](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/lower-48/utah/) bull scored 343 and is weak in his 6th point likely due to the drought during his last weeks of growth. ![My brother packed the front, neck meat, rib meat, back strap, and inner loin, and I took the hind on the first load.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/0150a81ed8b4728b6a6d2fc953c9a6c5.jpg "» Outdoors International") by [Patrick Kissel](https://outdoors-international.com/about-us/patrick-kissel/) ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

We both experienced that awesome adrenalin dump and laughed at my uncontrollable leg tremor. **Content:** [Arizona OTC Late Archery Mule Deer Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/arizona-mule-deer/) October, 2014 ##### I couldn’t help but notice the skies as the buck we’d been working the previous ten hours slipped out the bottom of the canyon. The clouds were in such-a-way, I knew we were in for an amazing show. We set up the cameras and did our best to find a comfortable position in the rocks. We watched the day come to an end, while glassing for more deer. As I laid there taking in God’s theater, I reflected on the previous day’s hunt. I’ll never forget how everything came together for us on my first [desert mule deer hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/sonora-mexico-mule-deer-hunts/)…and that sunset was icing on the cake. This [OTC, late archery mule deer hunt in Arizona](https://outdoors-international.com/arizona-mule-deer/) was a last minute decision. We were hoping for more footage before season’s end, and it was also a great [opportunity for me to experience the hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/mule-deer/) to better explain it to our clients. We knew a public land, spot/stalk desert muley was not going to be easy. We were, however, very optimistic, considering one of my clients had seen 68 [bucks during his hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hungary-roe-deer-hunt/) 3 weeks earlier. After much discussion with [our team at Outdoors International](https://outdoors-international.com/about-us/), Darin and I were soon on a plane heading south. Darin is a buddy of mine that went along to film, and is also a freak bowhunter like myself. ### The first morning started at 4:30 am with temps in the low 20’s. The drive from camp seemed short and we were soon on a vantage point with binos and spotter in hand. [I’ve always loved mule deer hunting the desert country here in Idaho](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-mule-deer-hunt/) and the [Arizona desert was beautiful](https://outdoors-international.com/over-the-counter-hunts-in-arizona/) as well. While watching the sunlight crawl across the desert landscape, deer and [javelina](https://outdoors-international.com/javelina-hunting-harder-than-expected/) soon began to materialize. It wasn’t long, and what looked to be a good buck was in the scope at 1 ½ miles. With only brief glimpses through the thick cover, it didn’t take long to decide this was a buck worth going after. [It was a long shot](https://outdoors-international.com/long-range-shooting-courses/), but things were soon gathered and Darin and I were making tracks towards the buck’s location. ### The desert floor was dry, and thick cover didn’t make for easy or quiet walking. The earlier 20-degree temps were now pushing 70, and it seems every form of vegetation in this area hoped to have you leaving your own blood trail. The sights and smells were all new to me and with every step closer, my anticipation grew. We soon found ourselves across the draw from where we had last seen the buck 2 hours earlier. The hillside was so thick, we were back-and-forth on [how to approach the muley](https://outdoors-international.com/utah-archery-mule-deer-hunt-report/) we hoped was still bedded. We estimated the buck at 180 yards, and while strategizing the opposite hillside, we formulated our best approach. A small pinnacle of rocks seemed the perfect spot to be slightly elevated over the dense cover, and also help shield any noise while closing the distance. After working ourselves across the draw, we slowed our stalk. The air was still, and everything had gone quiet as we reached the base of our vantage point. We were now within 65 yards and hopeful the buck hadn’t left the area. I put on my Rimrok Stalkers, dropped my pack and slowly worked up the face of rocks. Darin was on my heels with camera in hand. ### It didn’t seem long and I picked up antler tips; he was moving our direction! We did our best to get positioned for a shot and capture footage. After a couple more brief glimpses and what seemed like 30 minutes, the buck’s rack materialized from the brush within 40 yards. We spotted it at the same time and [instincts took over](https://outdoors-international.com/black-bear-of-a-lifetime/). I drew my bow and Darin steadied the camera. We soon found ourselves in that moment of truth, as the buck exploded from the impact of my arrow, and then charged by us at under 15 yards. I quickly readied another arrow and glassed my buck disappear into the heavy brush. ### I’ll never forget the smile on Darin’s face and the excitement in his eyes. We both experienced that [awesome adrenalin dump](https://outdoors-international.com/brown-bear-the-ultimate-adrenaline-rush/) and laughed at my uncontrollable leg tremor. It’s those kinds of moments when you realize who we are as hunters and why we do what we do. The recovery was short and the pack-out wasn’t far. Darin did a super job behind the camera and I was blessed with [another great memory](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-prepare-for-backcountry-elk-hunting/). It was fun sharing the hunt with him and I can’t wait for our [Alaska moose hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-cody-kuck-and-his-dad-have-a-great-moose-hunt-3/) this September…More to come! ### In the end, the hunt was a complete success and I will confidently recommend it to our guys and gals. We were fortunate to take an awesome buck and the sunsets were amazing! It’s a great way to end your [season with a December/January hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/kyle-hansen/). You can purchase the license and tag at any vendor, and expect a fun [hunt with our outfitter](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-bear-hunts/).

They offer a “Best in Class” hunting and fishing adventure that would serve to guide our youth to a stronger relationship with Christ through hands-on, in-the-field instruction in leadership, hunting and fishing skills. ## Summer Camps for Hunting Kids This outfitter’s early goal was to offer a “Best in Class” hunting and fishing Summer Camp Adventure in Texas. The camp would serve to not only recruit new hunters into the fold, but also to guide our youth to a stronger relationship with Christ through hands-on, in-the-field instruction in leadership, hunting and fishing skills. All counselors have strong Christian beliefs and are very successful in helping our campers grow spiritually and gaining a better appreciation for the Bible. And at the same time, they learn values and skills that will help them succeed in the world well beyond their camp experience. These youth programs have continued to develop, and have proven to be powerful, life-changing experiences for all involved. ![Youth hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/youth-hunting.jpg "youth-hunting » Outdoors International") [https://traffic.libsyn.com/outdoorsinternational/COA\_Podcast.mp3](https://traffic.libsyn.com/outdoorsinternational/COA_Podcast.mp3) This unique camp offers a week on a Texas Hunting Ranch, with an opportunity to harvest an exotic trophy, exotic doe, hog, or management ram. The [Texas Hunter Education Course](https://tpwd.texas.gov/regulations/outdoor-annual/hunting/hunter-education) is offered at camp. Every day we spend time hunting, swimming, hanging out by the campfire and group devotional time with awesome kids and counselors! We have witnessed firsthand, the interpersonal skills the campers develop with their peers and counselors to help each other grow closer to Christ. Our job does not end when camp is over. Our counselors follow-up with our campers, many times building ongoing relationships, which is key to making disciples. We encourage the campers to keep up their daily walk with Christ throughout the school year and eagerly await their stories at the next summer camp. COA strives to ensure that all of its activities adhere to strict safety standards. COA models its safety policies after the [Texas Youth Hunting Program](http://www.tyhp.org/) and other established and time-tested programs. Age range for camp is 9-16. ## CAMP OPTIONS: ### Age range for camp is 9 – 16. - BASIC CAMP – (doe, hog or management ram) – CALL FOR PRICE - *NEW OPTION* VARMINT/PREDATOR/SPOTLIGHT CAMP (700 Springs Only) – CALL FOR PRICE - RAM CAMP – CALL FOR PRICE - EXOTIC TROPHY CAMP – CALL FOR PRICE - SUPER EXOTIC CAMP – CALL FOR PRICE ### Packing List for COA Summer Adventure Camp First of all- you are welcome to bring your own gun, ammo, and hunting knife- but all must be labeled and if you can, pack separately, because we will collect these first and store in white trailer, which is our gun safe.

Prior to founding the Christian Outdoor Alliance, he served as Dean of Students and varsity baseball coach at St. Mary’s Hall in San Antonio, Texas. He is a teacher, an award winning journalist, and an accomplished outdoorsman. If you read the [Texas Trophy Hunter Magazine](http://www.ttha.com/magazine-tv/journal), you will know him as *“Old Tex”*. He writes a column under that pen name in each issue. Michael began to hunt as a boy. He grew up hunting and [fishing](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing-trips/) with his dad and grandpa in the Texas Hill Country, and has since turned that passion for the outdoors into a profession as an accomplished guide. He married his wife, Amy in 1995 and they have two sons, Michael Dean and Wesley. He considers his most important accomplishment, aside from his family, is the founding of Christian Outdoor Alliance in 2002. COA introduces young people to the outdoors and to share his strong faith of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Last winter, [we hunted javelina in Texas with Mike](https://outdoors-international.com/south-texas-rattlesnakes/). He has also guided our client Ben Greenfield, an expert in fitness, diet, fat loss and performance, as well as many other OI hunters over the years. We returned from the hunt impressed with Mike’s hunting operation, and intrigued by the Christian Outdoor Alliance. If you are a parent, after you listen to the podcast we’re sure you will be intrigued as well. We plan to [send our kids to the camp](http://www.mycoa.org/).

Report](https://outdoors-international.com/spring-steelhead-on-the-skeena/) **Published:** May 25, 2019 **Author:** Patrick Kissel **Excerpt:** I asked if he were given one river to guide steelhead on for the rest of his life what it would be and he answered without hesitation “The Skeena”. **Content:** [Spring Steelhead Fishing on the Skeena River](https://outdoors-international.com/skeena-river-steelhead/) April, 2019 Recently on our our drive to [Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing/alaska-fishing/) from [Idaho](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-fly-fishing-guides/) we were able to fish the Skeena River for a day in late April. I had never fished the [Skeena River system](https://outdoors-international.com/best-fishing-spots-in-british-columbia/) in [British Columbia, Canada](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/canada/british-columbia/) but know that it produces some [giant steelhead](https://outdoors-international.com/where-to-fish-for-steelhead/) and [King salmon](https://outdoors-international.com/best-places-to-go-salmon-fishing/). This was a chance for me to go see a new outfitter for us at Outdoors International and fish the famed river I had heard so much about. I had been in contact with the outfitter and one of the guides for some time but wanted to go see the river, lodge, and area before feeling confident sending our clients there. ### We met Brandon the head guide at the lodge at 5:30 am and got our gear on. We had slept in the jeep about 50 miles up the road at a pullout and really only got three hours of sleep that night after driving 18 hours. Brandon ordered up a fresh pot of “guide strength” coffee to fill our thermos and we were off to the river. The short drive was gorgeous, the Skeena River cuts through a large valley with snow covered mountains on each side. ### We dropped the jet boat in just below the town of Terrace where the\*\*\*\* Kala\*\*\*\* river meets the Skeena. The recent rains had the river a little high and off color but in good enough shape to fish it. The stained river held 1-2 feet of visibility which is plenty as you have to swing your fly right in front of em anyways. We started down river and got our feet wet swinging a long run. Our Spey casts are good but not great and Brandon helped give us a few pointers on this warm up run. The next run we stopped at was where the river braided back out and we parked the boat on an island. Lacey started at the top and I was at the bottom end. After an hour I heard her yell in frustration as she got a pull but the fish didn’t stick. It was a start and got me to continue fishing hard.

This water is set up perfectly for swinging flies, every spot we fished I felt like it could happen at any time. It was getting late in the afternoon and the wind was starting to blow pretty good to really screw up our casting. Lacey was at the head of a really nice run where a clear running creek came in and all of a sudden I heard her yelling. I looked back to her rod bent over and saw her line tight with a nice steelhead attached to it coming out of the water! Brandon was already on his way up the gravel bar to her with the net. I got there just as they scooped him up. It was a nice steelhead and we were all excited, but not your average fish for the Skeena. Still a shot of whisky was in order. Under tough conditions, being late in the season, and only having one day to fish we were happy to have not gotten skunked! ### We swung one last run for the day and headed back to the lodge to check out the rooms and amenities. The [place is incredible and there is no other fishing](https://outdoors-international.com/best-places-to-go-salmon-fishing/) lodge like this in the area. It is 5-star from start to finish and sits on the Skeena about 20 minutes from Terrace surrounded by beautiful snowy mountains. They have a large main lodge where you will eat and hangout after your day of fishing, log cabins that sleep 2-3 as well as a wood fired sauna and smokehouse for salmon if you choose to keep any and want them smoked. Also on property is a few hotel like rooms, pool tables and workout area, as well as a relaxation area with options for a massage, electric sauna and steam sauna. ### We were impressed with this Skeena River Outfitter. This outfitter has good permits to guide clients and British Columbia does a great job or regulating the number of guides on the rivers and also makes it so not just anyone can guide but only highly skilled and knowledgeable guides get in. If you fish with them you will have over 90 miles of the Skeena, the Kitimat River which is smaller and offers three floatable sections – no motors here. The Kitimat has a great [steelhead run as well as excellent king fishing](https://outdoors-international.com/where-to-fish-for-steelhead/) with a two hand rod. They have many smaller rivers and tribs in the area they can take 1-2 anglers on per day. You can also opt to do some helicopter fishing and get taken to different remote rivers to fish or get dropped off for a float trip. Lastly you can do a day of [ocean fishing](https://outdoors-international.com/offshore-fishing-charters/) out of Prince Rupert as well if you want to bring extra salmon or halibut home this is a good option. Of course all of the steelhead on the Skeena and area rivers is catch and release. The [kings you can keep one fish](https://outdoors-international.com/king-salmon-run-in-alaska/) within a slot size and in late July and August silvers are available. ### When to go steelhead fishing on the Skeena River. If you are primarily targeting steelhead the best months are August, September, and October but they are present nearly the entire year. The spring fishery is not advertised very much but you can have [great fishing for huge steelhead](https://outdoors-international.com/skeena-river-steelhead/) from March to the first 3 weeks of April before run off starts, you likely won’t see another soul on the river during this time either. ### One thing you have to understand is this isn’t a numbers fishery and most steelhead rivers aren’t. This a special river that offers the opportunity at a 20+ pound steelhead or 40+ pound king. You can expect to [fish hard weather with fly or spin gear](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-fishing-gear-list/) and catching 4-5 fish in a week is considered a good week. Just remember the ones you do catch will be quality fish and quality over quantity wins with me! I like steelhead fishing because [you do have to work hard and it is a real challenge to land one](https://outdoors-international.com/steelhead-a-love-hate-relationship/). The effort put forth and possible days without a [fish offer you an unforgettable](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing/alaska-fishing/) experience when you do get lucky and finally get to touch one! ### You can guarantee we will be back in fall to chase these steelhead again with Brandon. Brandon is a skilled guide and I can tell he is very passionate about these fish. I asked if he were given one river to [guide steelhead on](https://outdoors-international.com/oi-draw-program/) for the rest of his life what it would be and he answered without hesitation “The Skeena”.

saw several big brown bears, mountain goats, sea ducks, fox and lots of deer! We threw the crab pot out daily and enjoyed some fresh seafood. On the return trip, we stopped and caught rockfish and halibut, a real bonus to end a great hunt! **Content:** [DIY Vessel-based Sitka Blacktail Deer Hunt on Kodiak Island](https://outdoors-international.com/sitka-blacktail-deer/) November 1-7, 2020 Our [unguided hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/5-things-to-know-self-guided-moose-hunts/) trip on Kodiak Island for [Sitka blacktail deer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/blacktail-deer/) was amazing. The boat was comfortable and food was good. Hot, real food, and warm place to dry gear and sleep each day makes all the difference when hunting Kodiak. We started out in an unbelievable area where [all four of us harvested Sitka blacktail bucks](https://outdoors-international.com/jason-baldwin/) each of the first two days. As the weather changed our Captain moved the boat to calmer waters and we were able to explore new areas. We saw several big [brown bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/), [mountain goats](https://outdoors-international.com/mountain-goat-and-sitka-blacktail-deer-hunt-report-by-patrick-kissel/), [sea ducks](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-duck-hunting/), fox and lots of deer! Since I’m an Alaska resident, I was able to [hunt mountain goats](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-mountain-goat-hunt/) as well on this hunt. We threw the crab pot out daily and enjoyed some fresh seafood. On the return trip, we stopped and [caught rockfish and halibut](https://outdoors-international.com/lacey-savage-kodiak-island-king-salmon-fishing-report/), a real bonus to end a great hunt! The outfitters whole crew is **awesome.** Hard working group that wants you to be successful.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

One thing that has stayed consistent is the proficiency of the [guides and the quality of the fishing](https://outdoors-international.com/kamchatka-fly-fishing/). Weather dependent, this is the best location to see all four species of the [super grand slam](https://outdoors-international.com/super-slam-of-north-american-big-game/) in one day and to land it. I have accomplished many [grand and super slams](https://outdoors-international.com/inshore-grand-slam/) with Jose as my guide and absolutely love fishing with he and his guides. The entire group always has a great time when we go down there. The stories at dinner are one of the best things as we hear of the success and [some failures of the day](https://outdoors-international.com/cory-glauner-flyfishing-ascension-bay/), always at each others expense. Like the time I hooked and brought into the boat a moderate sized stingray — Jose was not pleased with me, but he took care of it as we watched from a distance. He said the ray is **not part of the SLAM**! The guides speak very good English and mix it with Spanish when they see a big fish or get excited as a school of permit work their way towards the boat. The atmosphere is laid back, the service is first rate and the new lodge is absolutely stunning as it sits just a few meters from the Caribbean. I love waking up before sunrise and watching this place come alive with the song birds and seeing the sun burst over the turquoise colored bay. Ascension bay “birthplace of the sky” is a fitting name for this wonderful area with its many creeks, lagoons, [endless flats teaming sea life](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing-trips/species/permit/). I loved the snorkeling on the reef, seeing the manatee and playful porpoise or the endless bird life. The fishing is what keeps me returning to Ascension Bay.

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

**Author:** Lacey Savage **Content:** [Offshore Fishing for Sailfish, and Inshore Fishing for Roosters](https://outdoors-international.com/mexico-sailfish/) December 01, 2024 ## A Second Visit to Remember I just returned from an unforgettable trip to a great [fishing lodge in Mexico](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/mexico/), where I had the pleasure of hosting nine of my friends. [Having been there once before](https://outdoors-international.com/mexico-fishing-lodge-report-by-lacey-savage-2/), I knew we were in for a treat, but this trip exceeded all expectations. We kicked things off with an incredible first day, **reeling in 17 sailfish** between all of us. **It was an exhilarating experience, to say the least!** But the adventure didn’t stop at sailfish. We managed to boat a few black marlin, plenty of roosters, and [a few mahi](https://outdoors-international.com/mexico-pelagic-fishing-report-by-matt-pember/). It was an exhilarating experience watching some of my buddies partake in a rodeo, [wrestling with sailfish on fly rods](https://outdoors-international.com/evan-keene-mexico-sailfish-and-dorado-fly-fishing-report/)!! The food was delicious, as always. One of the highlights of returning to the lodge was seeing the same talented chef still working there. They greet you with a refreshing margarita as soon as you arrive, followed by fresh chips and ceviche—**a perfect welcome after [a day out on the water](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing-trips/species/roosterfish/)**. For dinner, we indulged in some of our catch, prepared exquisitely. Talk about fresh! The pool was just the right spot to unwind, margarita in hand, after long days in the sun. Its inviting waters made it the perfect place for all of us to **relax and swap fish tales** from the day. **Everything ran smoothly**, from the boats to the service, and **the guides were fantastic**. Although [there was a language barrier at times](https://outdoors-international.com/mexico-fishing-trip-report-by-cory-glauner/), it didn’t hinder the experience at all. Their dedication ensured we had a blast. Counting down the days until we return has already begun. I can’t wait for another round of amazing fishing, great food, and good times with friends at the lodge. Until next time!

[Chris Artt: Moloka’i, Hawaii Axis Deer Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/molokai-axis-deer-hunt-report/) **Published:** July 14, 2019 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** You hear that you're going to see lots of deer, but it’s hard to comprehend how many there are. It’s safe to say the we probably saw 1,000 deer a day. **Content:** [Molokai Hawaii Axis Deer Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/axis-deer-hunting-in-hawaii/) June, 2019 My axis deer [hunt in Hawaii](https://outdoors-international.com/hawaii-hunting/) was awesome! It’s definitely something that can be done on a [family vacation](https://outdoors-international.com/adventure/) if you have a couple extra days. We hunted in the morning, and evenings there was time mid day to go get lunch, hit the pool, or even the beach. [The guides were great](https://outdoors-international.com/adam-urbano/). They made the rest of the stay better with local knowledge of things to do. The actual [axis deer hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/axis-deer/) was great. You hear that you’re going to see lots of deer in [Hawaii](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/united-states/hawaii/), but it’s hard to comprehend how many there are. **It’s safe to say that we probably saw 1,000 deer a day!** They guides definitely help judge bucks and teach what to look for. One of the best deer hunts I’ve ever been on.

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

**Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** [Guided Fishing Trip on Prince of Wales Island](https://outdoors-international.com/prince-of-wales-island-fishing/) August 27 2024 Our guides and the resort were top notch. Food was good and cabins were nice. Nothing super fancy but very accommodating. Fishing was good we were a little late in the year to catch the big [Coho salmon run](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-smoked-salmon-recipe/), and Alaska Game and Fish had shut down the [King salmon fishing](https://outdoors-international.com/king-salmon-run-in-alaska/) a day or two before we arrived. Trip was over all a very fun experience. I would recommend it, and hope to go back.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Fishing, Resorts, Salmon --- ### [Gregg Prossen: Alaska Steelhead Fishing Lodge Report](https://outdoors-international.com/gregg-prossen/) **Published:** September 29, 2020 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** If it wasn't for Patrick knowing my fishing preferences, I wouldn't have found this trip on my own. When I think of steelhead fishing I am really drawn to British Columbia as the Mecca but, not anymore.  **Content:** [Steelhead Fishing in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-steelhead-fly-fishing/) September 9 thru 26, 2020 Six and half days of hard, hard fishing…and it was great! By hard [fishing I mean working hard with lines](https://outdoors-international.com/braided-line-for-backing/) in the water as much as possible and covering a lot of water. We love to [swing for steelhead](https://outdoors-international.com/fall-steelhead-in-alaska/) and all the guides worked to get us into swing water.We did have a day and half without bringing a fish to hand but that’s [just the nature of steelhead fishing](https://outdoors-international.com/steelhead-a-love-hate-relationship/) when you’re swinging. On the flip side we checked off putting [a nice hen steelhead](https://outdoors-international.com/spring-steelhead-on-the-skeena/) in the net that [took a skated mouse](https://outdoors-international.com/strobel-lake-argentina-journal/), a bucket list check off for me. We also managed a specifically [targeted silver salmon](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing-trips/species/salmon-fishing/) that tracked down a stripped streamer! ### The food and the lodge should be DIAMOND rated! The meals prepared at the lodge by **chef Felix were extraordinary**, his river lunches were fantastic as well. We were able to walk wade and [fish river](https://outdoors-international.com/golden-dorado-fishing-bolivia/) from boats. I really enjoy the walk wading…..I feel like i[t makes the steelhead fishing that much more challenging](https://outdoors-international.com/steelhead-fishing-idaho-wilderness/)! ### I will definitely do this trip again, and would love to have my wife along. Personally, after going on this trip, I find there’s **no reason to ever venture to [British Columbia to chase steelhead](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-fishing/)**. This [trip could be done by someone with no two](https://outdoors-international.com/win-a-fully-guided-steelhead-fishing-trip/) handed fly rod experience. I feel the guides could easily instruct a person to [effectively fish a swung fly](https://outdoors-international.com/swinging-flies-for-wild-steelhead-in-alaska/) and everyone can fish a bead egg, hook and little weight! The outfitter and his guides went over and above and worked really hard to find fish and spots where we could swing and skate flies to steelhead. All the guides we fished with were [on top of their game](https://outdoors-international.com/darren-crosbie/) and a pleasure to be with whether we were walking in or using a boat as a taxi to move from/to swing spots. Almost felt like because the guides were working so hard we had to match their efforts…..[it was really great fishing](https://outdoors-international.com/jon-kohan/) and we were exhausted at the end of each day. Targeting silver salmon with a stripped fly was a blast, and we really enjoyed [fishing the Kenai River for a day for Alaska Rainbows](https://outdoors-international.com/kenai-river-fly-fishing-guides/).

[When I think of steelhead fishing I am really drawn to British Columbia](https://outdoors-international.com/where-to-fish-for-steelhead/) as the Mecca. But, not anymore! - Overall, my [Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/united-states/alaska/) [steelhead fishing](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing-trips/species/steelhead/) trip was amazing. - [My outfitter’s communication](https://outdoors-international.com/skeena-river-steelhead/) before, during and after the trip was good. - My guide was amazing. - Physically, the trip was moderate. - The food was amazing. - The accommodations were amazing. - Would you [book another trip](https://outdoors-international.com/dean-river-steelhead-fishing-lodge/) with us in the future? **Yes** - Can we use your stories and/or photos on our website? **Yes** - Can we use this in social media? **Yes** ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won!

Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH’s and their awesome staff. I made some new friends and will be back to Africa again 100%. **Brye Mangum** / OI Draw Winner ![Impala](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Dason-Lasiter-Client-South-Africa-Plains-Game-Hunt-Winner-DWHS-Archery-impala.jpg "Dason Lasiter Client South Africa Plains Game Hunt Winner DWHS Archery impala » Outdoors International") ### My most memorable and rewarding experience. This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

Just saying… The food at the lodge was awesome.

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won! We won this fully guided, all-inclusive New Zealand red stag hunt in the OI Draw! I highly recommend this hunt, and Outdoors International—fantastic company, amazing meals, and hunts that are second to none. **Brandon Ball** / OI Draw Winner ![Brye with his awesome kudu bull](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Brye-Mangum-Africa-Hunt-Winner-Trip-Report9.jpeg "Brye-Mangum-Africa-Hunt-Winner-Trip-Report9 » Outdoors International") ### I’m so grateful for the opportunity! Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH’s and their awesome staff.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

Hoffman: Mexico Dove Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/larry-hoffman/) **Published:** June 14, 2020 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** I enjoyed the facilities and the various hunting opportunities twice last year.  I am coming back at least once this year. **Content:** [Mexico Dove Hunting Lodge](https://outdoors-international.com/mexico-dove-hunting-lodge/) 2020 It is a pleasure to be asked to provide a review of my **[dove hunting trip to Mexico](https://outdoors-international.com/bird-hunting-mexico/)**! I enjoyed the facilities and the various [hunting opportunities](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/mule-deer/) twice last year. I am coming back at least once this year – if the virus allows! **The lodge is world class** in both the physical facilities and service provided by the staff, **truly 5 star**! As you know, I have hunted several lodges in northern [Mexico](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/mexico/) numerous times and several did have very good hunting, but none have the quality accommodations along with the [quality dove hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-for-doves/)! ### On my first trip, I came with one buddy to exclusively white wing dove hunt. I can honestly say that the roost shooting was some of the **most challenging dove shooting I have ever done**. I can shoot well and was humbled by those birds, your roost shooting was nothing like your field shooting, which was also excellent! **I loved the roost shoots**, one bird while roost shooting flew between my shotgun bead and my eye, it scared the crap out of me. That was a [**spectacular wingshooting trip**](https://outdoors-international.com/wingshooting/)! ### My second trip, I came back with a large group to enjoy your duck, morning dove, and quail shooting. We had another fine trip. We all are coming back! The lake shoot was the **finest [puddle duck shooting](https://outdoors-international.com/wingshooting/waterfowl/) I have ever experienced anywhere in the world**. I think we killed more than a dozen different species! The one day of mourning doves was ok, but as with mourning dove they move around and did not show in large numbers that day. That brings us to the quail – we had **spectacular wild bird [quail shooting](https://outdoors-international.com/wingshooting/upland-bird-hunting/)**, each of the three times we went! The [bird guys know their game](https://outdoors-international.com/quail-hunting/). I will be back my friends! Sincerely, Larry - Can we use your stories and/or photos on [our website](https://outdoors-international.com/mexico-desert-bighorn-sheep-hunt/)? **Yes.** - Can we use this in social media? **Yes.** ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today! We’re looking forward to helping you book a great trip with an amazing outfitter. ![The B-Run Steelhead on the Clearwater River are huge!](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/AF990EE9-56DE-4C83-9308-D719F40772C2-e1676412880239-280x280.jpeg "Ernie Sorensen Client Patrick Kissel Idaho Steelhead Fishing Clearwater River ASC » Outdoors International") ### Thank you Outdoors International! It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won! We won this fully guided, all-inclusive New Zealand red stag hunt in the OI Draw! I highly recommend this hunt, and Outdoors International—fantastic company, amazing meals, and hunts that are second to none. **Brandon Ball** / OI Draw Winner ![Brye with his awesome kudu bull](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Brye-Mangum-Africa-Hunt-Winner-Trip-Report9.jpeg "Brye-Mangum-Africa-Hunt-Winner-Trip-Report9 » Outdoors International") ### I’m so grateful for the opportunity! Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH’s and their awesome staff. I made some new friends and will be back to Africa again 100%. **Brye Mangum** / OI Draw Winner ![Impala](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Dason-Lasiter-Client-South-Africa-Plains-Game-Hunt-Winner-DWHS-Archery-impala.jpg "Dason Lasiter Client South Africa Plains Game Hunt Winner DWHS Archery impala » Outdoors International") ### My most memorable and rewarding experience. This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

Hunting --- ### [Cory Glauner: Argentina Free Range Stag Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/cory-glauner-argentina-free-range-stag-hunt-report/) **Published:** April 9, 2025 **Author:** Cory Glauner **Content:** [La Pampa, Argentina Free Range Red Stag and Blackbuck Antelope Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/argentina-red-stag-hunting/) March 26- April 4, 2025 My wife Tara and I recently hosted an Outdoors International group for a [free range red stag hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/argentina-red-stag-hunting/) that turned into an unforgettable saga, kicked off by a vibrant jaunt through Buenos Aires and now pointing toward a future [fishing trip in Mexico](https://outdoors-international.com/mexico-sailfish/). Our hunting posse was me, Tara, my buddy Mark Pearson, TJ Page, [Sam Nevarez](https://outdoors-international.com/sam-nevarez-argentina-red-stag/), Branden Smalley, Shane McGowne, Mark White, and [Scott Tawzer](https://outdoors-international.com/scott-tawzer-argentina-free-range-red-stag-hunt-report/). We took a two hour charter flight from Buenos Aires to the lodge in La Pampa. At the lodge, we met Jimmie and Isaac Powell, a father-son duo booked by the outfitter. Isaac, just out of high school, was on a gap-year odyssey with his dad to hunt six continents in one go—chasing [Africa’s Big Five](https://outdoors-international.com/african-dangerous-game/) and bagging at least one trophy per continent. They were both incredible people, and Jimmie was brimming with tales. This crew was a wild blend—hardcore hunters mixed with greenhorns, all united by the call to [hunt roaring stags](https://outdoors-international.com/the-red-stag-roar/). The hunt launched with a roar. Day one, the stags were rutting hard, bellowing through the hills, and everyone had a chance to shine. Tara passed on a few stags, holding out for perfection. That night, a cold front swept in, and we braced for madness. Instead, the rut quieted—roars dwindled, and the stags ghosted us. By week’s end, the scorecard was patchy, and our pants were covered in thorns… there are lots and lots of thorns. Tara, Sam, Mark White, and Shane came up stag-less. TJ shot a scrappy free range stag on the second-to-last day. Scott hit a big one but lost it after a tough search. Mark Pearson and Branden, chose to [go hunting in the estate](https://outdoors-international.com/argentina-water-buffalo-hunting/) and dropped jaw-dropping 500+ inch stags—absolute beasts. Isaac scored a solid stag early, while Jimmie and I soaked it all up from the sidelines. Mid-trip, most of us hit a ranch an hour away for blackbuck antelope. It was pure fun, like [pronghorn hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/pronghorn/) with a twist. Sam, Branden, Isaac, Scott, and I each [took a stellar buck](https://outdoors-international.com/andy-nagel-argentina-stag-hunt-report/), and TJ doubled up with two. Then came the water buffalo hunts—Mark Pearson, Branden, and Isaac each felled massive bulls. I tagged along on Mark’s hunt, and we had a blast. In a stand-up move, Mark and Branden, bummed about Scott’s lost stag, gifted him a shot at the ranch’s biggest buffalo. Scott’s ear-to-ear grin was worth it—top-notch crew. Before the hunt, Mark Pearson, TJ, Branden, Sam, Tara, and I kicked things off in Buenos Aires, diving headfirst into its electric pulse. We roamed the colorful streets of La Boca, marveling at the tango dancers swaying to accordions, and gorged on empanadas from hole-in-the-wall joints. The highlight? Dinner at [Don Julio](https://www.parrilladonjulio.com/), the world’s second-best steakhouse. We sank our teeth into sizzling, melt-in-your-mouth bife de lomo, paired with bold Malbecs, under the glow of that iconic parrilla. The city’s chaos—honking taxis, street vendors hawking choripán, and the hum of Porteño life—set the perfect stage for the wild week ahead. This trip lit a fire in us. The stags’ roars, the sting of the cold snap, and the [brotherhood forged over wins and losses](https://outdoors-international.com/david-evers-argentina-hunt-report/) left most of the group hooked. We’re already scheming to rebook, and eyeing a big fishing trip to Mexico—rods in hand, chasing sailfish, dorado and roosterfish, with the same crew that made this one epic. Tara’s still plotting her stag comeback, and I’m ready for whatever’s next.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

2018 **Author:** Patrick Kissel **Excerpt:** While fly fishing alaska rainbow trout it can be hard to keep dolly varden from grabbing your bead, so I fish a streamer for big rainbows. **Content:** While [guiding a father and son last summer](https://outdoors-international.com/my-guiding-season-at-bristol-bay-lodge/), and I was upriver with the father [fly fishing streamers for trout in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing/alaska-fishing/). We heard a yell and looked down at his son Cooper, a 16 year old from Colorado who could fish pretty well. He was persistent in fishing a streamer or mouse all day because he was hoping for a [big rainbow to grab his fly](https://outdoors-international.com/trout/). His jaw was dropped and eyes wide as he excitedly stuttered, “I’ve got a huge trout!” I ran down river apologizing to his dad “I’m going to go help your son, you can land this dolly on your own!” His dad was all for it. ### I got the net from the boat and almost swooped her in on my first try but she wasn’t ready. Then she tore off and almost took us into the logs. Cooper did a great job running down [river and kept the fish](https://outdoors-international.com/kanektok-river-alaska-fly-fishing-lodge/) from taking him into the first logjam. Then she started pulling towards another larger mess of logs and brush. I ran down as fast as I could and got down river of her and put myself in front of the jam in an effort to spook her so she would swim away. I about filled my waders before I was able to toss the net back on shore and pull myself on top of the logs. By now the big girl was in [fast water down river](https://outdoors-international.com/kasilof-river/) of this huge log mess. I looked at Cooper with a reassuring look, “*trust me, give me your rod and run down to the bottom of this jam”* I scrambled over the logs and met him at the bottom then ran back for the net. His dad was coming now with camera in hand. ### When I got back to Cooper he had the fish tired out and she was ready to be netted. We were fly fishing with streamers, and I couldn’t believe the barbless hook on the [sculpin](https://outdoors-international.com/kamchatka-fly-fishing/) stayed pinned on her through that entire circus of events. After snapping a few photos we watched her swim back into the current and out of sight. We both were shaking from the adrenaline rush and excitement. I hit him on the back, *“good work dude!”* He was almost speechless but muttered that it was his [biggest fish ever](https://outdoors-international.com/the-best-way-to-experience-alaska/). I was happy and felt incredibly rewarded to have been a part of this kids memory. Cooper’s rainbow was tall and thick a good representative of an *“Alaskan Rainbow”*. ### We were fly fishing with streamers to target big Alaska rainbow trout. On this day we were fishing a black [\#4 sculpzilla pattern from Solitude](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtoUzQFzyZY). I found one of the best ways to [target the rainbows](https://outdoors-international.com/trout-capital-usa/) amongst all of the dolly varden who are ever eager to grab your bead before the trout can is by fishing a streamer. ### I like to slide a bright orange bead on my line before I tie in my streamer. Sliding the bead to the eye of the hook gives the appearance of an egg eating sculpin or leech. Rainbows are often [territorial especially the big ones and most fish](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing-northwest-territories/) know to keep their distance. So when one of these sculpins swims by too close they want to kill it. You will know when one eats your fly as it will almost rip the rod from your hands! You should try fly fishing with streamers yourself. Here’s a great [Alaska rainbow trout fishing guide](https://outdoors-international.com/best-time-to-fish-alaska/) to get you started. by Patrick Kissel [ ![Lacey with a nice Alaska rainbow.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Lacey-Savage-ALaska-Rainbow-Trout-e1662932572405-500x310.jpeg "Lacey Savage ALaska Rainbow Trout » Outdoors International") Lacey with a nice Alaska rainbow.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Lacey-Savage-ALaska-Rainbow-Trout-1020x680.jpeg "Lacey with a nice Alaska rainbow.")

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.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

**Excerpt:** Three trophies in three days of hunting...outstanding results. **Content:** [Mouflon sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/mouflon-sheep-hunting-in-croatia/), [Balkan Chamois](https://outdoors-international.com/chamois-hunting-croatia/), [Fallow Deer in Croatia](https://outdoors-international.com/croatia-fallow-deer-hunt/) October, 2016 This was a challenging free range hunt and not a canned fence hunt. Very exciting. I landed in Zagreb and the outfitter was waiting for me at the airport. We then traveled to the bed and breakfast near Sinje where we would stay while we hunted [mouflon sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/mouflon/) and [Balkan chamois](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/goats/chamois/). First, we headed out to hunt mouflon sheep. The terrain was steep and the rocks were sharp. It was a physical [mountain hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/mountain-goat-hunting-gear-list/). I saw lots of [sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/)…at least six rams before I found one that looked big enough to shoot. As we were preparing for the shot on a 70cm sheep a much larger 82cm Gold Medal ram appeared. The guides got me in a great position for a 275 yard shot which I executed. ![OI client Jason Kinyon with a beautiful Croatia Chamois](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Jason-Kinyon-Client-Croatia-AH-Europe-Chamois.jpeg "Jason-Kinyon-Client-Croatia-AH-Europe-Chamois » Outdoors International") The next morning we headed out for Balkan chamois. We glassed for a few hours high on a mountain and spotted a shooter with several females. We made a very difficult stalk for several km and got into position for a 330 yd shot. I used the outfitters guns and they were of excellent quality with the best optics. I made the shot and after a tough climb we were at my second trophy in two days. The next two days were cloudy with light rain so the outfitter took me [sightseeing to Pula, Rijeka, and Krk](https://outdoors-international.com/adventure/historical-tours/).

Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH’s and their awesome staff. I made some new friends and will be back to Africa again 100%. **Brye Mangum** / OI Draw Winner ![Impala](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Dason-Lasiter-Client-South-Africa-Plains-Game-Hunt-Winner-DWHS-Archery-impala.jpg "Dason Lasiter Client South Africa Plains Game Hunt Winner DWHS Archery impala » Outdoors International") ### My most memorable and rewarding experience. This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

Johnson: New Zealand Safari Report](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-new-zealand-safari/) **Published:** November 12, 2014 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** I went for the stag hunt but I think the Tahr is the coolest animal…what a beautiful trophy. **Content:** **HUNT:** [New Zealand Red Stag Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-red-stag-new-zealand/) **CONSULTANT:** Russ Meyer, Outdoors International July, 2014 ### This was my first time to travel to New Zealand. I went to [hunt red stag](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/big-game/international-deer/red-deer/) and [tahr](https://outdoors-international.com/capra-world-slam/) and had an incredible time. It soon turned into a [New Zealand Safari](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/south-pacific/new-zealand/). I flew thru Sydney on my way to Christchurch. I spent 1 day in Sydney and flew to CC the next day arriving late at night. I stayed at a hotel near the airport and was picked up in the morning by Duncan…[right on time](https://outdoors-international.com/best-time-to-go-hunting-in-new-zealand/). We drove to the lodge that morning and spent the rest of the day getting ready for the hunt which would begin the next morning. As luck would be, I was the only other hunter in camp for the week. I thought it might be nice to have other hunters in camp but as it turned out having all this special attention was a nice treat and the conversation during the day and night was comfortable and interesting. [The hunt was more than I could ever imagine](https://outdoors-international.com/new-zealand-stag-hunt-report-by-martin-kutschera/). I shot two red stags, two [Himalayan bull tahr](https://outdoors-international.com/new-zealand-chamois-hunt/), two rams and several wallabies. I booked this hunt with the intention of having some friends join me. I got worried that maybe this [hunt might get bought before I booked](https://outdoors-international.com/what-to-consider-when-booking-your-first-trip-to-south-africa/) it so I went ahead and committed to the without having others commit. I have hunted in the USA, [Canada](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/canada/), [South Africa](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-safari-in-south-africa/) and Zimbabwe. This was my 1st time to [hunt in New Zealand](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/south-pacific/new-zealand/). ### Red Stag Hunting was First Up At the lodge I met John who would be my guide for the week and another guy from Germany who was serving as an apprentice. He was also a great photographer and taught me some new photo tricks plus he took some incredible photos which he shared with me. The 1st two days we toured the ranch and looked around seeing lots of game. After sizing up several nice stags I decided to shoot a particular big bull in a group of 7 bulls. In the confusion I somehow shot two bulls…each being different. John made it a point to tell me a trophy is a bull that catches your eye…it might have lots of long tines or it might be shorter but have more mass. Beauty in the eyes of the beholder. I got 1 bull with long top tines and another with [heavy dark massive tines](https://outdoors-international.com/frank-church-wilderness-combo-hunt-report-kyle-hanson/). I couldn’t be happier. Duncan took pity on me and treated me more than fair on the cost of the 2nd stag…thanks Duncan. ### Rams, Wallabies and Tahr were Next Next we turned our attention to rams and [wallabies](https://outdoors-international.com/podcast-new-zealand/). I missed my 1st wallaby but it was a long shot into a steep dark canyon…John cut me some slack! [Next it was onto the tahr.](https://outdoors-international.com/new-zealand-tahr-hunting-adventure/) We chased a monster bull across from the lodge but even though we had him at 30-60 yards twice, I never had a clear shot. I nailed a beauty the next day not far from the lodge. Since I had two trophy stags I had to shoot two [tahr](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/big-game/goats/tahr/)….John’s recommendations. As they say *“why stop now”*. On the last day at the last hour I got my 2nd tahr. [Another beautiful bull.](https://outdoors-international.com/himalayan-tahr-hunt-in-new-zealand/) ### The hunt was made special just spending quality time with Duncan, John, Jason, and the cook. The evenings were relaxing and the food was fantastic. Also I have to say the views from the lodge were top notch…each sunrise and sunset. I got tons of beautiful shots each day. John is one of the most knowledgeable [guides I have ever hunted](https://outdoors-international.com/5-things-to-know-self-guided-moose-hunts/) with. He knows game, their habits, the environment and most importantly how to prepare the cape for the mounting of the trophy. An added treat was Duncan tasking me on a [helicopter ride over the Alps](https://outdoors-international.com/outdoors-international-podcast-ty-cameron-new-zealand/). Boy are they spectacular. Everyone should see the Alps from the air…don’t worry about motion sickness, Duncan is an exceptional pilot. I can’t say enough about the service I received while I was there. ### When I return, I want to do a mountain hunt for tahr. I went for the stag hunt but [I think the tahr is the coolest animal](https://outdoors-international.com/tahr-wilderness-hunt-in-new-zealand/)…what a beautiful trophy. Also, when Duncan and John go to [Australia](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/south-pacific/australia/) for their next [crocodile hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/african-crocodile/), I want to go with them. Save me a spot. The mountain views, the food, the trophies, the camaraderie, the memories…what more could I ask for? ### Thanks to all for an incredible hunt.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

### [John LaBanc: BC Black Bear Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/bc-bear-hunt-report-by-john-labanc/) **Published:** May 19, 2022 **Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** HUNT: [Spring Black Bear in British Columbia](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-moose-hunt/) May 9-15, 2022 The Batnuni Lake area of British Columbia is dense with forest and timber with many dirt logging roads. There are a few cattle ranches with lush green fields of grass. The area is the [perfect habitat for bears](https://outdoors-international.com/jace-myers-2/), [moose](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-moose-hunt/) and deer. Plentiful food sources, ample timber for sanctuary and numerous lakes and streams. The typical day begins with a hearty breakfast at 0800. You’ll travel the logging roads at 0930 to look for bear sign and determine the location with the best chance of finding bears feeding in the evening. You eat lunch in the field and return to camp at 1600 for a hearty dinner. Back out at 1800 to survey the fields for the evening bear feeding. Once you sight bears you [field judge them](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-hunt-black-bears/) and decide if you want to make a stalk. In six days of hunting I saw 58 [black bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/) and 3 [grizzly bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/). Most of the bears I saw were still young, but 10 of the 58 were old enough and large enough to be worthy of harvesting. In [British Columbia](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/canada/british-columbia/) you are not allowed to shoot grizzly bears. One evening at 1900, we spotted an old, cautious black bear. He was at the edge of a tree line who would emerge briefly into the lush field to eat, then retreat back into the timber for safety. [This was a large bear](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-thomas-white-bc-black-bear/), and my guide and I decided to make a stalk. We were 365 yards from the bear with a right to left breeze and two pieces of farm equipment between us and bear. We moved toward the bear using the farm machinery to conceal our movement. Once we got to the machinery we moved to our left into the timber. We used the trees to conceal our movement toward the bear. At 89 yards I set up in a stable prone shooting position. Jim confirmed there were no cubs and that [the bear was a “shooter.”](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-brandon-couchmans-washington-bear-hunt/) His words were, *“you will not be disappointed if you decide to take it.”* Now it was a matter of waiting and hoping for the bear to emerge from the timber into the field to feed. The [bear did wander back into the field](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-black-bears/). Once he turned broadside I shot him with my Blaser R8 Professional 30-06 mounted with a VX6 HD 3-18 x 50 Leupold scope and chambered with a Barnes 180gr TTSX. The bear bolted into the timber not knowing what just bit him and died within 20 yards of where I shot him. Jim estimated the bear weighted 250 lbs. The bear had a jaw deformity which was of particular interest to me– an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. **The memories and new friendships made will last a lifetime.** The Outfitter and his business partner have over 30 years experience of [hunting and guiding](https://outdoors-international.com/gear-list-for-a-guided-grizzly-bear-and-caribou-hunt/). They have an impeccable reputation among the ranchers in the [area for their hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/alberta-whitetail-hunts/) ethics. The ranchers trust and respect Jim and Lyle and have given them exclusive permission to hunt on their properties. As a hunter [you buy a hunt, not an animal](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-mitchell-bushman/). Jim and Lyle work hard to put the hunter in a position to have an opportunity to harvest a bear, which is all you can ask of your outfitter and guide.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

This was my second time [black bear hunting with this outfitter](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/) and it may not be the last. The [quality of bears in this area was unreal](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-jerry-shaw-bc-black-bear/). I saw the [largest bear I’ve ever seen](https://outdoors-international.com/cory-arrows-an-ancient-idaho-bruin/) in the wild. Even got to 62 yards with my bow before the wind swirled on us 10 minutes before dark. But still how cool is that? [Stalking absolute Giant World Class Black Bears](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-hunt-black-bears/), and the first hunter in two years to do so in British Columbia! We had an amazing week with everyone having opportunity or success. [Made new friends](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-black-bear-hunt-report-by-bert-chandler/) and reconnected with existing ones. Hard not to love a week in Bear Camp like this one! Guiding, meals and accommodations were all top notch.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

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.

Columbia Black Bear Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/black-bear-hunt-in-powell-river-bc/) **Published:** June 11, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** My wife loved the trip and would recommend it to any lady who wants to see what their husband does on these hunts. **Content:** [British Columbia Black Bear Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-black-bear-hunt/) April, 2018 We had a wonderful [BC black bear hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-black-bear-hunt/) beginning with the guide picking us up at the Powell River airport. We made a short trip to the dock and took the boat to the base camp about 45 minutes across the inlets. The first day was very eventful with sighting two [black bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/) and stalking both. The first was a good bear but *“[not large enough for the first day](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-black-bears/)“*. As we began to leave Johnny spotted a very large bear on the beach about a mile away. After [two stalks we were within 31 yards](https://outdoors-international.com/where-to-find-black-bears-in-the-spring/) and I took my shot. Although not perfect the hit was good enough allow us to get another [arrow in to the bear](https://outdoors-international.com/cory-arrows-an-ancient-idaho-bruin/). It was 7:30 in the evening and we skinned and loaded the bear in the boat and back to camp late that evening. The cook had a great meal waiting for us and the entire camp wanted to hear the story. The rest of the week was spent sightseeing [British Columbia](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/canada/british-columbia/), [fishing](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing-trips/), crabbing and picking up oysters for dinner. The outfitter has a well run bear hunting camp and exceptional guides. His equipment is in good working order and fit for the area we hunted. Our guide let us know the days activity each morning and we knew what time to be ready and [what equipment we would need](https://outdoors-international.com/spring-bear-hunting-gear-list/). I am very impressed with this outfit and would love to hunt with them again, maybe for [Roosevelt elk](https://outdoors-international.com/roosevelt-elk-hunting/).

They were cognizant of my price range and what we wanted to do. - My consultant was **very knowledgeable,** and a pleasure to talk to. - My outfitter’s communication before, during and after the trip was **good.** If Brad has one shortcoming it is his communication. I was concerned prior to our hunt due to a lack of details I was able to get from him concerning equipment, boot and terrain. However, now that I look back I see he did give me enough information, just without elaboration. - My guide was **amazing.** - Physically, the trip was **moderate.** - The food and accommodations were **good.** - Would you book another trip with us in the future? **Yes.** [ ![Outdoors International client Michael Hickey with a giant Arizona black bear.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Michael-Hickey-AZ-Black-Bear-Hunt-Report-e1701263835257-300x300.jpeg "Michael Hickey Client Arizona Black BEar MMRR » Outdoors International")![This outfitter has been operating on the famous White Mountain Apache Reservation since 1982.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Arizona-white-mountain-Apache-reservation-black-bear-hunt-8-300x300.jpg "Arizona-white-mountain-Apache-reservation-black-bear-hunt-8.jpg » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/white-mountain-apache-bear-hunting/) [ ![Montana Black Bear Hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/IMG_3002-300x300.jpeg "Montana Black Bear Hunting LOC3 » Outdoors International")![Montana Black Bear Hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/IMG_2993-300x300.jpeg "Montana Black Bear Hunting LOC3 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/montana-black-bear-hunting/) [ ![New Brunswick Black Bear Hunting Lodge](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/New-Brunswick-Black-Bear-Hunting-Lodge-DYRO1IMG_2977-300x300.jpg "New Brunswick Black Bear Hunting Lodge DYRO1 » Outdoors International")![New Brunswick bear hunt with a crossbow.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/New-Brunswick-Black-Bear-Hunting-Lodge-DYRO1IMG_2979-300x300.jpg "New Brunswick Black Bear Hunting Lodge DYRO1 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/new-brunswick-black-bear-hunting/) [ ![A nice Colorado black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Colorado-bear-300x300.jpg "Colorado Black Bear Hunting » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/colorado-black-bear-hunting/) [ ![Mat, Russ and Cory with an archery Idaho bear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Mat-Cervantes-Cory-Glauner-Russ-Meyer-Archery-Black-Bear-Idaho-KO-300x300.jpg "Mat Cervantes Cory Glauner Russ Meyer Archery Black Bear Idaho KO » Outdoors International")![Idaho Frank Church Wilderness Spring Black Bear Hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Idaho-Spring-Black-Bear-Hunt-WMO-10-300x300.jpeg "Idaho-Spring-Black-Bear-Hunt-WMO-10.jpeg » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-bear-hunts/) [ ![Gary Colbath with a great archery color phase black bear he killed in Alaska.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Gary-Colbath-with-a-huge-Alaska-black-bear-with-his-bow-1024x576-1-e1701005979918-300x300.jpg "Gary-Colbath-with-a-huge-Alaska-archery black bear » Outdoors International")![Black bear hunting in alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Alaska-Black-Bear-Hunt-Stoney-River-Lodge-SRL1-2-300x300.jpg "Alaska-Black-Bear-Hunt-SRL » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/black-bear-hunts-in-alaska/) [ ![Wyoming Black Bear Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Wyoming-Baited-Black-Bear-DDO2-300x300.jpg "Wyoming-Baited-Black-Bear-DDO2 » Outdoors International")![A great wyoming black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Wyoming-Black-Bear-Hunt-Report-e1701265505330-300x300.jpeg "Daniel Simonson Wyoming-Black-Bear-Client DDO2 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/wyoming-black-bear-hunt/) [ ![Washington also offers two bear tags per hunter, which makes these hunts even more attractive.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Washinton-Black-Bear-WGS1-Windles-Guide-Service-6-300x300.jpg "Washinton-Black-Bear-OLO » Outdoors International")![Spot-and-Stalk Black Bear Hunt in Washington](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Washinton-Black-Bear-WGS1-Windles-Guide-Service-1-300x300.jpg "Washinton-Black-Bear-OLO » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/washington-black-bear-hunts/) ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Black Bear Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-bc-black-bear/) **Published:** November 30, 2014 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** I made friend's here that will be sorely missed until I meet them again. One of the top three of all of my hunts for sure. They produce and bend over backwards for you. **Content:** ### HUNT: [British Columbia Black Bear Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-black-bear-hunt/) Consultant: Russ Meyer, Outdoors International May 12, 2014 ## I was 100% happy with my BC bear hunt! I arrived late at night, hunted the next day. Saw [black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/) and [grizzly](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/) every day. Held out until last day and shot a [beautiful British Columbia black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/jared-griffith-bc-black-bear-hunt-report/) with guide Gary. If possible, would hunt with him for the rest of my hunting career. He is a wonderful person and has a great sense of humor. A very capable guide who is in terrific shape and demonstrates above average mountain skills. I made friend’s here that will be sorely missed until I meet them again. One of the [top three of all of my hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/top-5-dream-hunts/) for sure. They produce and bend over backwards for you. Outdoors International should adopt me as their handicapped poster child! Even though I have back and knee issues, I never give in to the pain and make each shot count! The relationship that I have with Russ as a friend is very important to me and I sure wish that all of my hunts had been through him. - Would you [book another trip](https://outdoors-international.com/alberta-black-bear-hunt/) with Outdoors International in the future? **Yes.** - Can we use your stories and/or photos on our website? **Yes.** - Can we use this in social media? **Yes.** ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today! We’re looking forward to helping you book a great trip with an amazing outfitter. ![The B-Run Steelhead on the Clearwater River are huge!](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/AF990EE9-56DE-4C83-9308-D719F40772C2-e1676412880239-280x280.jpeg "Ernie Sorensen Client Patrick Kissel Idaho Steelhead Fishing Clearwater River ASC » Outdoors International") ### Thank you Outdoors International! It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won! We won this fully guided, all-inclusive New Zealand red stag hunt in the OI Draw! I highly recommend this hunt, and Outdoors International—fantastic company, amazing meals, and hunts that are second to none. **Brandon Ball** / OI Draw Winner ![Brye with his awesome kudu bull](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Brye-Mangum-Africa-Hunt-Winner-Trip-Report9.jpeg "Brye-Mangum-Africa-Hunt-Winner-Trip-Report9 » Outdoors International") ### I’m so grateful for the opportunity! Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH’s and their awesome staff. I made some new friends and will be back to Africa again 100%. **Brye Mangum** / OI Draw Winner ![Impala](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Dason-Lasiter-Client-South-Africa-Plains-Game-Hunt-Winner-DWHS-Archery-impala.jpg "Dason Lasiter Client South Africa Plains Game Hunt Winner DWHS Archery impala » Outdoors International") ### My most memorable and rewarding experience. This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Penman: British Columbia Black Bear Report](https://outdoors-international.com/scott-penman-bc-black-bear-hunt-report/) **Published:** May 30, 2017 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** All in all I enjoyed my trip to BC for black bears. I was able to get 2 nice bears and my hunting partner got a nice color phase bear. **Content:** HUNT: [Black Bear Hunting in British Columbia](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-black-bear-hunt/) CONSULTANT: Russ Meyer, Outdoors International May 16-22, 2019 All in all I enjoyed my trip to BC for Black Bears. I was able to get 2 nice bears and [my hunting partner got a nice color phase bear](https://outdoors-international.com/michael-crandall-exploratory-bc-black-bear-hunt-report/). The hunting was a little slow but we did see bears each day. The camp was nice and I enjoyed the running water in the bathrooms and the shower. My guide was Danny and he was not very experienced in guiding [bear hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/asian-black-bear-killed/) but he worked hard and we had good time. I think we saw somewhere around 25 [bears in 7 days of hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/). The hunt is primarily set up for late afternoon until dark but I appreciated that my guide was willing [hunt mornings and mid day since the bears weren’t moving](https://outdoors-international.com/russ-meyer-bear-hunting-tips/) much. I got both of my bears at mid day. [The group in camp](https://outdoors-international.com/travis-brown-archery-bc-black-bear-hunt-report/) was the highlight of the hunt. I made some new friends and look forward to the opportunity to hunt with some of them again. ## I liked the the way the fees were set up with a price for the hunt and a trophy fee after you get a bear. Because of this I didn’t feel pressured to get a [bear unless I found](https://outdoors-international.com/cory-glauner-brown-bear/) one that I liked. We saw several [chocolate colored bears](https://outdoors-international.com/color-phase-black-bears/) which was nice for those looking a [color phase bear](https://outdoors-international.com/blazing-saddles/). The guides did a nice job splitting up hunting areas to avoid having hunters in the same areas. The trophy care for my bears seemed to be pretty good and I had a couple of different options to get the bear hides home. ## There are some things that could of been better on this trip. ### **UPDATE:** Do to multiple bad reviews, Outdoors International no longer represents this outfitter. However, we do still have some great options in BC. The food could have been better, there were some meals that were hard to eat and by the end of the hunt there wasn’t much left in camp for our lunches. The biggest downer on this hunt was 2 nights of drama in camp. I believe that Outfitter himself was the root cause for the drama and I found myself being very uncomfortable a few times because of this. Had the outfitter not left camp before the hunt was over, I believe that this hunt would of been miserable. I tried to get my father and brother to go with me and in end I am glad they didn’t go with me as would have felt responsible for taking them on a hunt like this. - How would you rate your trip overall? Overall, my trip was **not so great** (This was no fault of Outdoors International, I knew up front that this was an exploratory hunt to vet an outfitter). I would not go on a hunt with this outfitter. - How were your guides? **Good.** - How was your food and lodging? **Terrible.** - How was your outfitters communication? **Terrible.** - How physically demanding was your trip? **Easy.** - How would you rate your Outdoors International Hunting Consultant? **Russ was in camp. I am glad I got to meet him and would go on [another hunt with him](https://outdoors-international.com/alberta-black-bear-hunt/).** - Would you book another trip with Outdoors International in the future? **Yes.** - Can we use your stories and/or photos on our website? **Yes.** - Can we use this in social media? **Yes.** [ ![Outdoors International client Michael Hickey with a giant Arizona black bear.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Michael-Hickey-AZ-Black-Bear-Hunt-Report-e1701263835257-300x300.jpeg "Michael Hickey Client Arizona Black BEar MMRR » Outdoors International")![This outfitter has been operating on the famous White Mountain Apache Reservation since 1982.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Arizona-white-mountain-Apache-reservation-black-bear-hunt-8-300x300.jpg "Arizona-white-mountain-Apache-reservation-black-bear-hunt-8.jpg » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/white-mountain-apache-bear-hunting/) [ ![Montana Black Bear Hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/IMG_3002-300x300.jpeg "Montana Black Bear Hunting LOC3 » Outdoors International")![Montana Black Bear Hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/IMG_2993-300x300.jpeg "Montana Black Bear Hunting LOC3 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/montana-black-bear-hunting/) [ ![New Brunswick Black Bear Hunting Lodge](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/New-Brunswick-Black-Bear-Hunting-Lodge-DYRO1IMG_2977-300x300.jpg "New Brunswick Black Bear Hunting Lodge DYRO1 » Outdoors International")![New Brunswick bear hunt with a crossbow.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/New-Brunswick-Black-Bear-Hunting-Lodge-DYRO1IMG_2979-300x300.jpg "New Brunswick Black Bear Hunting Lodge DYRO1 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/new-brunswick-black-bear-hunting/) [ ![A nice Colorado black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Colorado-bear-300x300.jpg "Colorado Black Bear Hunting » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/colorado-black-bear-hunting/) [ ![Mat, Russ and Cory with an archery Idaho bear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Mat-Cervantes-Cory-Glauner-Russ-Meyer-Archery-Black-Bear-Idaho-KO-300x300.jpg "Mat Cervantes Cory Glauner Russ Meyer Archery Black Bear Idaho KO » Outdoors International")![Idaho Frank Church Wilderness Spring Black Bear Hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Idaho-Spring-Black-Bear-Hunt-WMO-10-300x300.jpeg "Idaho-Spring-Black-Bear-Hunt-WMO-10.jpeg » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-bear-hunts/) [ ![Gary Colbath with a great archery color phase black bear he killed in Alaska.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Gary-Colbath-with-a-huge-Alaska-black-bear-with-his-bow-1024x576-1-e1701005979918-300x300.jpg "Gary-Colbath-with-a-huge-Alaska-archery black bear » Outdoors International")![Black bear hunting in alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Alaska-Black-Bear-Hunt-Stoney-River-Lodge-SRL1-2-300x300.jpg "Alaska-Black-Bear-Hunt-SRL » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/black-bear-hunts-in-alaska/) [ ![Wyoming Black Bear Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Wyoming-Baited-Black-Bear-DDO2-300x300.jpg "Wyoming-Baited-Black-Bear-DDO2 » Outdoors International")![A great wyoming black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Wyoming-Black-Bear-Hunt-Report-e1701265505330-300x300.jpeg "Daniel Simonson Wyoming-Black-Bear-Client DDO2 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/wyoming-black-bear-hunt/) [ ![Washington also offers two bear tags per hunter, which makes these hunts even more attractive.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Washinton-Black-Bear-WGS1-Windles-Guide-Service-6-300x300.jpg "Washinton-Black-Bear-OLO » Outdoors International")![Spot-and-Stalk Black Bear Hunt in Washington](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Washinton-Black-Bear-WGS1-Windles-Guide-Service-1-300x300.jpg "Washinton-Black-Bear-OLO » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/washington-black-bear-hunts/) ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Black Bear Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/black-bear-with-primitive-outfitters/) **Published:** May 31, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** We went on a spot and stalk black bear hunt in northern BC. The outfitter, his wife Lana and their team of guides set up a great camp for us. **Content:** HUNT: [British Columbia Black Bear Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-black-bear-hunt/) CONSULTANT: Russ Meyer, Outdoors International May, 2018 We went on a [spot and stalk black bear hunt in northern BC](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-bc-black-bear/). The outfitter, his wife Lana and their team of guides set up a great camp for us. Lana’s cooking was top notch and she created great meals daily. There is a lot of downtime in camp which we spent shooting arrows, working out at “Primitive CrossFit”, napping and building friendships with the other guys in camp (7 total). A British Columbia [black bear hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/) typically starts around 5pm and goes until dark (about 10:00 pm) The weather we had was a bit fickle and it threw the bear activity off but you should typically see 3-6 bears a day. Sometimes more, sometimes less. We ran into a few [grizzly bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/) as well which was really cool, when they were at a distance! The hunt consists of driving logging roads, glassing clear cuts and meadows looking for feeding bears. ### Recommended Gear **Here’s some [gear to bring on your black bear hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/spring-bear-hunting-gear-list/):** I’d recommend bringing books, downloading movies, buying your own snacks to help pass the downtime. Also, bring a 75-100 qt cooler![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=ebb2dcd6089aa71964cea48d06a7dba1&_cb=1565969164068) for cape and meat if your black bear hunt is successful. The weather can change quickly so be prepared for hot, cool and rain. This isn’t a strenuous hunt by any means and is more of a road hunt. I’d recommend comfort over [backcountry gear](https://outdoors-international.com/backpacking-gear-list/). The mosquitoes get nasty but if you spray all your clothes/backpack in advance with Sawyer Products Premium Permethrin Clothing Insect Repellent![](//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=ch0p5-20&l=am2&o=1&a=B01M4KFZME) as well as pack the Picaridin Lotion![](//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=ch0p5-20&l=am2&o=1&a=B00VV5KRD8) and a Thermacell![](//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=ch0p5-20&l=am2&o=1&a=B0031ESIVK) your trip will be much more comfortable.

What more could you ask for in a consultant?! - Overall, my trip was **good.** Hunting was slower than normal the week were were there, which obviously nobody can control. Some adjustment to the daily routine would have gone a long way to overcome the mental frustration of a slow hunt. Jeff and his crew are seasoned professionals and know the area and it’s bears well. They will get you onto [bears, you gotta do](https://outdoors-international.com/alberta-black-bear-hunt/) the rest! - My outfitter’s communication before, during and after the trip was **good.** - My guide was **good.** - Physically, the trip was **easy.** - Food and accommodations should be rated separately. The food provided was **really good and well prepared.** The accommodations are **primitive but got the job done.** A few upgrades to the accommodations would go a long way. We did have to provide our own snacks for the downtime so bring anything you might typically want outside of normal meals. As expected in the bush there is no cell or internet but Jeff provides a house phone to call loved ones at no expense, a really nice feature. - Would you book another trip with us in the future? **Yes.** - Can we use your stories and/or photos on our website? **Yes.** - Can we use this in social media? **Yes.** [ ![Outdoors International client Michael Hickey with a giant Arizona black bear.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Michael-Hickey-AZ-Black-Bear-Hunt-Report-e1701263835257-300x300.jpeg "Michael Hickey Client Arizona Black BEar MMRR » Outdoors International")![This outfitter has been operating on the famous White Mountain Apache Reservation since 1982.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Arizona-white-mountain-Apache-reservation-black-bear-hunt-8-300x300.jpg "Arizona-white-mountain-Apache-reservation-black-bear-hunt-8.jpg » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/white-mountain-apache-bear-hunting/) [ ![Montana Black Bear Hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/IMG_3002-300x300.jpeg "Montana Black Bear Hunting LOC3 » Outdoors International")![Montana Black Bear Hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/IMG_2993-300x300.jpeg "Montana Black Bear Hunting LOC3 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/montana-black-bear-hunting/) [ ![New Brunswick Black Bear Hunting Lodge](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/New-Brunswick-Black-Bear-Hunting-Lodge-DYRO1IMG_2977-300x300.jpg "New Brunswick Black Bear Hunting Lodge DYRO1 » Outdoors International")![New Brunswick bear hunt with a crossbow.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/New-Brunswick-Black-Bear-Hunting-Lodge-DYRO1IMG_2979-300x300.jpg "New Brunswick Black Bear Hunting Lodge DYRO1 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/new-brunswick-black-bear-hunting/) [ ![A nice Colorado black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Colorado-bear-300x300.jpg "Colorado Black Bear Hunting » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/colorado-black-bear-hunting/) [ ![Mat, Russ and Cory with an archery Idaho bear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Mat-Cervantes-Cory-Glauner-Russ-Meyer-Archery-Black-Bear-Idaho-KO-300x300.jpg "Mat Cervantes Cory Glauner Russ Meyer Archery Black Bear Idaho KO » Outdoors International")![Idaho Frank Church Wilderness Spring Black Bear Hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Idaho-Spring-Black-Bear-Hunt-WMO-10-300x300.jpeg "Idaho-Spring-Black-Bear-Hunt-WMO-10.jpeg » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-bear-hunts/) [ ![Gary Colbath with a great archery color phase black bear he killed in Alaska.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Gary-Colbath-with-a-huge-Alaska-black-bear-with-his-bow-1024x576-1-e1701005979918-300x300.jpg "Gary-Colbath-with-a-huge-Alaska-archery black bear » Outdoors International")![Black bear hunting in alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Alaska-Black-Bear-Hunt-Stoney-River-Lodge-SRL1-2-300x300.jpg "Alaska-Black-Bear-Hunt-SRL » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/black-bear-hunts-in-alaska/) [ ![Wyoming Black Bear Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Wyoming-Baited-Black-Bear-DDO2-300x300.jpg "Wyoming-Baited-Black-Bear-DDO2 » Outdoors International")![A great wyoming black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Wyoming-Black-Bear-Hunt-Report-e1701265505330-300x300.jpeg "Daniel Simonson Wyoming-Black-Bear-Client DDO2 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/wyoming-black-bear-hunt/) [ ![Washington also offers two bear tags per hunter, which makes these hunts even more attractive.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Washinton-Black-Bear-WGS1-Windles-Guide-Service-6-300x300.jpg "Washinton-Black-Bear-OLO » Outdoors International")![Spot-and-Stalk Black Bear Hunt in Washington](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Washinton-Black-Bear-WGS1-Windles-Guide-Service-1-300x300.jpg "Washinton-Black-Bear-OLO » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/washington-black-bear-hunts/) ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

We won this fully guided, all-inclusive New Zealand red stag hunt in the OI Draw! I highly recommend this hunt, and Outdoors International—fantastic company, amazing meals, and hunts that are second to none. **Brandon Ball** / OI Draw Winner ![Brye with his awesome kudu bull](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Brye-Mangum-Africa-Hunt-Winner-Trip-Report9.jpeg "Brye-Mangum-Africa-Hunt-Winner-Trip-Report9 » Outdoors International") ### I’m so grateful for the opportunity! Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH’s and their awesome staff. I made some new friends and will be back to Africa again 100%. **Brye Mangum** / OI Draw Winner ![Impala](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Dason-Lasiter-Client-South-Africa-Plains-Game-Hunt-Winner-DWHS-Archery-impala.jpg "Dason Lasiter Client South Africa Plains Game Hunt Winner DWHS Archery impala » Outdoors International") ### My most memorable and rewarding experience. This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

Bear Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/thomas-driskill-alberta-black-bear-hunt-report/) **Published:** May 10, 2025 **Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** [Black Bear Baited Hunt in Alberta, Canada](https://outdoors-international.com/alberta-black-bear-hunt/) May 10, 2025 This baited [black bear hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/) was tremendous. [My son was the hunter](https://outdoors-international.com/john-labanc-new-zealand-hunt-report/) and I was the observer. He got a [bear, not the biggest bear in the woods,](https://outdoors-international.com/mark-wood/) but a nice one. [Didn’t see a thing on the bait the 1st two days](https://outdoors-international.com/booking-a-baited-bear-hunt/), shot his bear on day three, saw nothing days four and five. Then he shot another one on day six, knocked it down, but it got up and took off. We never found it. Hey, we are happy to come home with some bear meat and are having a nice rug made. Everyone in camp was fantastic. Susan cooked a huge breakfast every day and a huge dinner every night. Our guides worked extremely hard [baiting sites every day](https://outdoors-international.com/bear-baiting-tip/). Fun, happy folks. We really enjoyed getting to know everyone. There were three other hunters there, one got two bears, the others got one bear each. Words cannot properly describe how they simply made us all part of their family. In [Hawaii](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/united-states/hawaii/) we call it Ohana. We really felt welcome every day. Also, one day we went [fishing](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing-trips/) and Daniel caught a 3 pound [Northern Pike](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing-trips/species/pike/) from a canoe. We really appreciate OI for coordinating this trip for us. It was great working with Kyle setting up this fantastic hunt.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Carpenter: Alberta Moose, Elk, Black Bear Combo Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/steven-carpenter-alberta-moose-elk-black-bear-combo-hunt-report/) **Published:** September 29, 2025 **Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** [8-Day Alberta Moose, Elk, Black Bear Combo Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/alberta-farmland-moose-hunt/) September 29, 2025 [This hunt was outstanding](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-black-bear-hunt/) from start to finish. The accommodations were very comfortable. Nice lodge. Comfortable beds. Gwen is an amazing cook. The food was outstanding. They let me use one of their custom Tikka 280 AI rifles topped with a Zeiss V4. It was sweet. My hunt was an 8 day moose/elk combo. Mornings were for [moose calling](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-call-moose/). I hit the rut just right. Bulls were responding to calls. On day 2, Justin called in a [huge bull moose](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/moose/). Unfortunately we couldn’t get a clean shot before he sensed something wasn’t right and left the scene. That was one of the most [intense hunting experiences](https://outdoors-international.com/randy-taylor-bc-moose-hunt-report/) I’ve ever witnessed. On day 3, my guide called in a nice bull moose that I was successful in taking at 30 yards. I couldn’t have been happier. Evening hunts were stand hunts over canola fields. A legal bull elk was my primary interest but I also had a bear tag. I saw cow elk almost every day along with the occasional black bear. On day 4, I connected on a great massive bodied old 5×5 bull at 300 yards. This was a [great trophy in this area](https://outdoors-international.com/elk/). [Elk hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/alberta-elk-hunting/) in this area is tough, because they’re are very wary and only come out of the timber just before dark. For the rest of the hunt, we looked for a [black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/alberta-black-bear-hunt/). Having connected on my two primary targets and knowing I had a truckload of great protein, I wasn’t overly motivated to shoot a bear. I saw 7 [black bears](https://outdoors-international.com/black-bear/) while [sitting on baits](https://outdoors-international.com/baited-bear-hunt-in-alberta/), but didn’t take one. [This is a great hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/troy-mannella-alberta-black-bear-hunt-report/). The outfitter and guides are great to hunt with, work hard and have fun. They are totally invested in the hunt and get just as excited as you will. They know how to be successful and will put you on solid animals. They take care of everything from the license and tags all the way through processing the animal. All you have to do is [show up with a good attitude](https://outdoors-international.com/thomas-driskill-alberta-black-bear-hunt-report/) and be ready to work as hard as they will. I’m already booking this hunt again.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Matt Cervantes was great, and always a text away if I had a question. **Content:** [Bezoar Ibex Hunt in Turkey](https://outdoors-international.com/bezoar-ibex-hunting-in-turkey/) March, 2019 This was my second hunt that I’ve booked with Outdoors International, and it was an excellent experience also. My consultant was great, and always a text away if I had a question. You can [read about my first hunt here](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-joseph-russo-beceite-ibex-hunt-in-spain/). On this trip, I hunted [Bezoar Ibex](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/ibex/) in [Turkey](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/asia/turkey/). Murat runs a tight ship, and pickups and transfers throughout Turkey we’re timely and uneventful. Pick up and transfer personnel were there a half hour before schedule times. Safety was never an issue no language barriers guides spoke English. Mehmet, was my [ibex hunting guide](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/ibex/) he was excellent. In Turkey you hunt with government officials I had two on my hunt they were nice they help with spotting [ibex](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/ibex/) and packing out. The hunt was both mentally and [physically challenging](https://outdoors-international.com/train-to-hunt-no-shape-to-elk-shape-week-1/) but quite rewarding. The day I harvested my ibex we had to climb in the rain. Had to lay in the rain two hours to wait for the ibex to stand, and fortunately I made a good shot across the canyon. This was the third day of my hunt, and I had two days left I inquired about going [boar hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/big-game/pigs/). Murat was able to arrange the [hunt for boar for my last two](https://outdoors-international.com/two-buck-hunt-report-by-tyler-roles/) days in Turkey.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

--- ### [Tom L.: British Columbia Black Bear Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-dad-0-son-2-on-bc-black-bears/) **Published:** July 22, 2015 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** I wanted you all to know what an extraordinary trip I felt it was! Thank you all for everything! It was awesome and couldn't have been better! **Content:** [British Columbia Black Bear Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-black-bear-hunt/) June 2015 I wanted to thank you so very much for the awesome bear hunt that Ham and I had last week. It really could not have been better. It started a year ago when my [Hunting Consultant at Outdoors International](https://outdoors-international.com/about-us/) was kind enough to help my son Ham and I roll our hunt forward a year because of an internship that he had. Outdoors International also recommended the 2nd week of June as the best week because of the [black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/) rut. So, we pushed our trip back one year and one week. I am so glad that we did so. Ham is a very quiet young man and I consider it divine providence that your hunters from Kentucky cancelled, and that we had the entire lodge for ourselves. I think this gave Ham an extra boost of confidence which he needed. He didn’t feel intimidated by a bunch of hunters bragging and swearing which is always a risk in hunting camps. Instead, he had the opportunity to hear about faith in action from his hunting guide. As I am sure you are aware, young men put their [hunting guides](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/) on a pedestal and how they act can have a profound effect upon them. In this case, Ham could not have been blessed with better role models! Instead of the crotchety type or the condescending type, Ham had the opportunity to observe and learn from two servant leaders. He also had the opportunity to hear someone that he viewed as larger than life (or at least the life he knows) who had a love and a daily walk with Jesus. As you all know, Ham is in BYX, which is a Christian fraternity which allows him to [spend a great deal of time with other young men committed to the Lord](https://outdoors-international.com/adventure-youth-camp/); but, it is always a positive experience for these young men to see others who share their commitments do their passion. You all, as Ham’s guide were in a perfect place to provide him that special leadership! And you did!! Our guide worked hard for us. Gary worked his tail off from the first afternoon working with Ham on the sticks to the first night when he got Ham in perfect position to get his [first black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/my-daughters-first-bear-hunt/) to the 4:00 AM drive to the airport on Saturday morning. Killing that first [bear was huge](https://outdoors-international.com/blazing-saddles/) for Ham! He already has photos of it up. When I saw Lana reading *The Shack![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=99cfb7744c3243b4e47b63161d508d52&_cb=1550164862547)*, I thought we were definitely in the right place. Then the second Gary mentioned that Jeff had been a leader at his church and I knew [this was going to be a great trip](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-jerry-shaw-bc-black-bear/). I do not think you all realize what a great witness you all were for Ham on the trip! As I mentioned, Gary worked his tail off after you all headed back to get your back examined. (We will pray that your health is restored.) It makes for long days when you are cooking three meals which were all great on top of hunting; and then, as [the bears were failing](https://outdoors-international.com/alberta-black-bear-hunt/) to cooperate, I could tell that Gary was feeling pressure and began lengthiness our hunting sessions starting earlier in the mornings and in the afternoons. We encountered every obstacle from much more frequent trains to the forestry trucks on a non stop schedule. But, none of this deterred Gary from stalking our bears. Finally on the last night after a morning and early afternoon of cold rain, Gary returned to our initial spot and hit the mother load. [Bears were out in many places](https://outdoors-international.com/daniel-simonson/). We saw a big beautiful light brown one that disappeared into the woods too quickly for Ham to get in position for a shot. However, the next bear was very cooperative. Gary spotted a boar and as he and Ham walked along the road to get in position, Gary popped the shooting sticks![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=709eca5e2a8a73780403a7b71a8c44be&_cb=1550165002985) and as soon as the bear showed, Ham pulled the trigger. Turned out that there were at least two other boars in that same area although we couldn’t get a shot. We definitely heard them! Then, as we were driving home with me starting to pack away the equipment, Gary and Ham spotted a couple of bears by the side of the road. I have to admit, I [didn’t really have my head in the game](https://outdoors-international.com/russ-meyer-arizona-archery-elk/). Whether it was the fact that I kind of peaked last summer [killing my mountain lion](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-mountain-lion-hunt-report-by-mary-sue-moore/), or I have never had a passion about shooting a [British Columbia black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/josh-cagle-british-columbia-black-bear-hunt-report/) or my broken bow or that I had checked out to come home, I don’t know; but, I simply wasn’t concentrating as we stalked the bear. When Gary mentioned to be careful that it might be a sow and a cub, I really checked out. Gary had me in perfect position on the shooting sticks 34 yards away and I went off safety as he continued to scan the area. A few seconds later, when he said to fire, I proceeded to take my gun off safe (which I this case meant putting it back on safe) squeezed the trigger and nothing. [The bear was a big beautiful monster](https://outdoors-international.com/bc-archery-bear-hunt-report-by-kyle-hanson/)! [Chocolate brown with a massive head](https://outdoors-international.com/one-done-big-archery-black-bear/), it would have made a great trophy! I believe Gary said well over 7′ and 400 pounds. A [giant black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/biggest-black-bears/)! I told Gary that other than my contributing to his obvious disappointment after working so hard, I am really at peace with it. I am convinced that had I shot that bear, it would have completely changed how Ham had viewed his [first bear hunting experience](https://outdoors-international.com/our-10-most-popular-hunting-destinations/). His two bears would have been second fiddle to my giant one. And for me, this trip was all about Ham! I have had my day in the sun. And while I am at peace with it, I have to admit that last night was the first night that I didn’t see the bear in my scope as I laid down for bed. Now his trip was about his [killing two bears](https://outdoors-international.com/jared-griffith-alaska-bear-hunt-report/) while his dad whiffed. I also think that it gave ham an opportunity to see his dad miss and face up to it with grace and honesty instead of making excuses like so many do. It has been a great teaching moment. It also has allowed me to emphasize the importance of being mentally [prepared for a hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-prepare-for-backcountry-elk-hunting/)! I clearly wasn’t and it showed. It was awesome and couldn’t have been better! Sorry to be so long winded, but, I wanted you all to know what an extraordinary trip I felt it was!

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

He was knowledgeable, low key and the hunt was amazing. #### Would you book another trip with Outdoors International in the future?

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

North America --- ### [Shawn Davis: Kyrgyzstan Ibex Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/shawn-davis-kyrgyzstan-ibex-hunt-report/) **Published:** February 2, 2019 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** After researching Mid Asian Ibex hunting in Kyrgyzstan for almost a year, my wife Maria and I set up our hunt through Outdoors International. **Content:** [Kyrgyzstan Mid-Asian Ibex Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/kyrgyzstan-ibex-hunt/) October, 2019 After researching [Mid Asian Ibex hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/ibex/) for almost a year, my wife Maria and I set up our hunt through Outdoors International with the outfitter we wanted to use in Kyrgyzstan. Over the next six months, Outdoors International was very helpful in assisting to get all of the logistics in order. This can be a part of any International hunt that is challenging and not all that much fun-gun permits, travel itineraries, money transfers, etc. ![kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan border crossing](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Kyrgyzstan-Tajikistan-Border-Crossing-Marco-Polo-Sheep-Statue.jpg "Kyrgyzstan-Tajikistan-Border-Crossing-Marco-Polo-Sheep-Statue » Outdoors International") ### Getting to Kyrgyzstan There are a few common ways to fly into Kyrgyzstan and [we chose to fly with Turkish Airways](https://outdoors-international.com/struck-by-lighting-in-kazakhstan/), as the flight from JFK flies through Istanbul Turkey, which is a city my wife and I have always wanted to visit. We stayed in Istanbul for three days and had a wonderful time. It was easy to leave my rifle at the TAV Istanbul International Airport police station during our stay. I thought that this might be a hassle but was actually quite easy. The city was amazing with all of the layers of history from the [early Roman Byzantine Empire](https://www.history.com/topics/ancient-middle-east/byzantine-empire) through the [Ottoman Empire](https://www.britannica.com/place/Ottoman-Empire) up to the modern secular democratic [Turkey](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/asia/turkey/) that is today. The people of Istanbul were friendly and of course the food and drink were delicious—[Turkish treats are famous for a reason](https://outdoors-international.com/bezoar-ibex-hunt-in-taurus-mountains-of-turkey/). My wife especially enjoyed the Egyptian Bazaar where she found some beautiful silk garments and where we picked up some spices. It is only a five hour flight to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan from Istanbul. We arrived at 5 am and proceeded through the VIP section of the Bishkek International airport (set this up before leaving on our trip). There is quite a fee for this service, both for arriving and departure, but it did make the entire process rather painless. My wife and I were met by the owner Jakyp, the camp manager, a very nice young man who was the translator and a driver. After gathering our gear we set off for an all day drive [into the mountains](https://outdoors-international.com/marco-polo-hunting-tajikistan/). The roads are in fairly good condition with the occasional tore up section from road construction. For some reason, like many places around the world, the Kyrgy people feel as if they need to drive like they are in some sort of Formula one race. Needless to say we had a few frightful moments. After about seven hours we transferred into two Russian 4X4 vans to continue up into the mountains. The country is beautiful as you would expect with any [mountainous region in the world](https://outdoors-international.com/world-record-mountain-goat-2/). My wife and I thought that there were many similarities to [Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/united-states/alaska/) where we live, just a-bit more dry and arid. Another four hours and we finally arrived at their main base camp. ### Camp Camp consisted of a few Conex style trailers that were retrofitted into very comfortable living quarters. The rest of the afternoon was spent preparing gear, shooting a few bullets to make sure the Kimber was still shooting straight, and eating a hardy dinner. We had packed just as if we were going on our annual [Dall sheep hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/) [here in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-dall-sheep-hunt/). This included sleeping gear![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=530c04e5c5407949f433ba870b78cd4d&_cb=1562599601209); luckily my wife took her North Face Darkstar -40 bag![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=68a3b7a1accc9028d77500393da01804&_cb=1562599639975) as it was getting to 10 F at night. We also took are own tent, MSR stove, water filter, coffee, food and of course binoculars and spotting scope. They of course supply food and drink, but my wife and I wanted to have the style of food and drink that we are used to, to minimize the risk of getting sick from drinking non-filtered river water or eating something that might not set right in our stomachs. We did our best to avoid anything that would jeopardize our ability to be in top physical condition to chase Ibex at ten to fifteen thousand feet. The two Kyrgyz we were hunting with were very good at doing trophy work, but I always take my Havalon knives![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=a8d695c62909ad7dc2d65b67b2e27796&_cb=1562599658364), as I enjoy caping animals and you just never know what other people’s’ skills set are. ![Riding horses in Kyrgyzstan on an ibex hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/uploads-oint/2018/11/Kyrgyzstan_horses.jpg "Kyrgyzstan_horses » Outdoors International") ### Descendants from Genghis Khan The next morning we were up early to head off [up into the high country on horseback](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-kyrgyzstan-ibex-marco-polo/). My wife has spent a fair amount of time in her life [riding horses](https://outdoors-international.com/kyle-hanson-kyrgyzstan-hunt-report/) so she was very comfortable. I on the other hand have limited time riding horses, especially in big mountain country. I cannot overemphasize how competent both the Kyrgyz people and their horses are in the mountains; remember that both are direct descendants from Genghis Khan and the horses of that era. Fortunately, we had a week of high pressure weather and this first day was nothing short of amazing. It had snowed the week before so the north facing slopes were still blanketed in white but the south facing slopes were bare and the sun felt very nice as we rode into higher country. As we headed towards the head of the valley that we were in, we stopped to take a break and do some glassing. We started to spot some [ibex](https://outdoors-international.com/capra-world-slam/) at the head of the valley and towards the skyline ridge. We decided to try and make a play as there was still of few hours of daylight and [I had the Ibex itch](https://outdoors-international.com/brian-greenshaw-bezoar-ibex-hunt-report/). So I as well as one of my new Kyrgy hunting buddies took off up the mountain and everyone else remained behind to set up camp and tend to the horses. Three thousand feet later and we were finally at the same elevation of a nice billy we had been glassing. We were able to slowly move closer using the topography of the slope to set up behind a large boulder 550 yards away from the Billy. I was breathing hard to get enough oxygen into my lungs—the GPS read 13,790 ft. I always enjoy the challenge of getting as close as possible when chasing critters, and being the first day, I did not want to take such a long shot. We made our move from out behind the boulder and successfully gained another couple of hundred yards only to get busted. By the time I got a good bead on him with the rangefinder he knew something was not right in his high mountain kingdom and he was off like a bullet. It did not matter, the sun was shining, and I was in the Tian Shan Mountains with my lovely wife and new friends chasing Mid-Asian Ibex. ![The mountains of Kyrgyzstan](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/kyrgyzstan.jpg "kyrgyzstan mountains scenery snow » Outdoors International") ### This is a True Mountain Hunt The next few days played out about the same. This was just like [hunting Mountain goats](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/goats/mountain-goat/) and [Dall sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/dall-sheep/) at home in Alaska except the altitude was much higher; the highest I saw on my GPS was just shy of fifteen thousand feet. On the fourth morning we decided to get moving from camp before sunrise and climb over a pass that we had not been over yet to see if we could catch a billy still bedded down for the evening. We got to the top of the pass, fourteen thousand feet, before the sun came up and found a bench out of the wind to rest on and wait until the sun came up. Unfortunately, there were no Ibex beneath us when the sun came up so we continued climbing. Two hours later as we were climbing through the craggy cliffs we spotted a group of Ibex heading towards us. We made our move into some crags that would place us above the Ibex as they came towards us. We knew that there were at least a couple of nice Billy’s in the group as they came in and out of view in the cliffs. We were set up perfectly as the Ibex came into the chute below us. Two very nice Billy’s walking together came into view at 185 yards and [with one well placed shot](https://outdoors-international.com/long-range-shooting-for-central-asian-hunts/), it was over. We were in [typical goat country](https://outdoors-international.com/where-to-hunt-mountain-goat/), steep nasty cliffs, and it took some effort to get them down and onto a slope where we could process them. After the celebratory high fives it was time for some pictures. The temperatures were getting down into the low teens at night and to my disbelief our digital camera battery was dead. Note to self—take a Fuji disposable the same as we do in Alaska. Unfortunately, no one else had a camera so the moment was etched in our memories. Luckily we were able to get some pictures in the first few days of the hunt. After a couple of days of moving meat, capes, horns, horses and spike camp we were back at the main base camp. There awaited a nice warm sauna and a cold Russian beer![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=7137aa0a1ccf679cd041f9faf7a47e99&_cb=1567553630838). My wife and I were on cloud nine. We had met some wonderful people, had successfully chased Mid Asian Ibex in the Tian Shan Mountains and made it out of the craggy cliffs without issue. Over the next few days we made it back to Bishkek and took an overnight side trip to Lake Issyk-Kul, one of the natural wonders of the world. ### This Hunt is Physically Difficult **It goes without saying, but the number one thing you can do for yourself in preparation for this trip is [physical conditioning](https://outdoors-international.com/train-to-hunt-no-shape-to-elk-shape-week-1/).** My wife and I exercise year round and are in very good shape; it is very hard to prepare for chasing goats at fourteen thousand feet. We went in the first two weeks of October and it was getting extremely cold at night and there is always the chance of a big snow storm rolling through. If you are returning back to the states, you need to make sure that you have contacted the US Fish & Wildlife agency before you go on your hunt to schedule them to meet you at the airport when you arrive back in the states to inspect your capes and horns. Our two capes were taken from us by the US Agriculture Customs and quarantine until they could be inspected by a US Agriculture veterinarian. Kyrgyzstan is on the list for foot and mouth disease. It took two weeks and the cost of a broker to finally get them sent to my taxidermist which has to be an approved site. We are planning on going back in 2014 and I will use a broker to have everything sent from Kyrgyzstan the same as we have to do with our [African animals](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/africa/). Can we say [Argali](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/argali/)? Cannot wait until the next trip. - Would you [book another trip with us](https://outdoors-international.com/marco-polo-hunting-tajikistan/) in the future? **Yes** ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

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!

Kazakhstan Ibex Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/struck-by-lighting-in-kazakhstan/) **Published:** September 18, 2023 **Author:** Cory Glauner **Content:** [Ibex Hunting in Kazakhstan](https://outdoors-international.com/maral-stag-hunting-kazakhstan/) September 4-14, 2023 When it comes to the [world of mountain hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/mountain-hunts/), Kazakhstan stands as a hidden gem waiting to be discovered by International hunters. Nestled in the heart of mid-Asia, this vast and diverse country offers a unique mountain hunting experience that is second to none. [Kazakhstan is a land of breathtaking contrasts](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/asia/kazakhstan/), boasting an array of landscapes that range from the majestic peaks of the [Tien Shan](https://www.britannica.com/place/Tien-Shan) and [Altai Mountains](https://www.britannica.com/place/Altai-Mountains) to the expansive steppes and pristine lakes. This geographical diversity provides the perfect habitat for the remarkable [mid-Asian Ibex](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/mid-asian-ibex-hunts/), [Maral stag](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/maral-stag-hunts/) (Tian Shan Wapiti), [Eurasian wild boar](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/eurasian-wild-boar/) and [Siberian roe deer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/roe-deer/). ## Struck by Lighting in Kazakhstan ### Lightning Strikes Twice on a Mid-Asian Ibex Hunting Adventure with Cory Glauner ![](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Tien-Shan-Mountain-Range-Kazakhstan-1020x574.jpeg "Tien Shan Mountain Range Kazakhstan » Outdoors International") We were hunting with our flagship outfitter in Kazakhstan who offers a great [combo hunt of Maral and Ibex](https://outdoors-international.com/maral-stag-hunting-kazakhstan/). Hunting from horseback, we hunt the vast hunting grounds in search of the finest trophies. While your trophy Maral stag can often be harvested with ease, merely a short walk or drive from the lodge, Ibex hunting is typically more difficult. There were three hunters in the group: Me, Glen Eberle, the owner of [Eberlestock](https://eberlestock.com/), Frank Fackovec, a very accomplished hunter who is close to earning the coveted World Conservation and Hunting Award. Both Glen and Frank were doing a Maral/Ibex Combo. I was only hunting Ibex, but helped on both of their maral hunts before going after my goat. ## Maral Stag Hunting ### We started the week hunting Maral stags in the lower country around the lodge. On the first evening of the hunt, the guides saddled the horses and took Frank and I up a long ridge just up from the lodge to look for maral. I’ve been around horses my entire life and I’ve gotta admit I was skeptical of these little things and those saddles looked terribly uncomfortable. I was wrong on both counts. Those horses are TOUGH and the saddles were actually nice. We rode up some steep country in record time. It would have killed our horses back home, and these things weren’t even breathing that hard. Crazy. That night we glassed up a few bulls, one of them very nice, but nothing that we had time to get to. Frank had just had a total knee replacement just four months earlier, so big hikes just weren’t in the cards for him. We glassed until dark, heard a few bugle/roars and headed back down to the lodge with a plan for the next morning. > View this post on Instagram > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > [A post shared by Cory Glauner (@coryglauner)](https://www.instagram.com/p/Cw5QTmJoXVb/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading) ### Up at 3:00 AM and in the saddle by 4:00, we made a move up a steep draw. Even though we couldn’t verbally communicate with the guides, I knew exactly what was going on and I completely approved. The lead guide, Bearakbul (I’m positive that I didn’t spell his name right) made the exact moves that I would have. Hunter sign language is universal, and if you combine that with a little intuition and a desire to learn, communication was fairly easy even when our interpreter Assan wasn’t with us. Sometimes just a nod and body language can tell you exactly what someone is thinking. Just below the saddle, we tied up the horses and hiked up to the top, sneaking over the saddle just at very first light. Our timing was impeccable, and there was a big bull just 200 yards away. We’re talking BIG. Unfortunately, we made too much noise going over the top and he spooked before Frank could get a shot. > SIDENOTE: I do fully realize that I should be calling them stags, but bull just feels better because they resemble elk so closely. So, I hereby retain the right to call them what I want. Do with that what you will. > View this post on Instagram > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > [A post shared by Cory Glauner (@coryglauner)](https://www.instagram.com/p/CxCaRsIoWO-/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading) ### Fortunately we almost immediately found a second big bull on the skyline. This bull wasn’t as big, but he dang sure wasn’t a slouch, that’s for sure. Frank got settled in while Adam got the range and helped him with the dope on his rifle. I’m trying to act like I know what I’m talking about here, but I’m not a long range shooter…[I need to go to a shooting class](https://outdoors-international.com/long-range-shooting-course-fundamentals/). It was something around 700 yards, I can’t remember exactly because while they’re getting set up, I was busy trying to get my spotting scope on him and my phone mounted with my brand new MagView phone adapter to take some video. ### Frank’s first shot hit the bull right in the nuts. No kidding. Right smack in the sack. He ran down the hill a bit, and that’s when things started getting a bit chaotic. I thought he was going down because he was acting weird, spinning around down the mountain…and who could blame him, he’d just been shot in the nuts?! He made his way down to a wallow and I was able to keep the video on him the whole time and talked them back onto him again. Frank and Adam discussed/argued a bit about a new dope adjustment, and I thought this whole thing was going to fall apart, but the bull was just laying in the wallow. It felt like they were taking forever…seriously it took forever. I was stressed, and there was a miss….or possibly two, but Frank ended up getting dialed in and made an absolutely beautiful shot. I honestly didn’t think it was going to happen. We were all excited, and relieved. > View this post on Instagram > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > [A post shared by Cory Glauner (@coryglauner)](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxS40SPr6tD/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading) ### We worked our way over to the bull, took pictures, ate some lunch and drank some chai (tea). I helped the guides position the bull where they could cut him up and they decided to head down to the lodge and come back later that day for the meat. We all mounted up and Bearakbul took the bull’s head, put in front of him on his horse and rode down off the mountain with it. Now when I say down the mountain, I mean **down the mountain**. It was STEEP. In fact, I led my horse down, not because I was scared, but because I’ve just always led my horses down steep country like that. I’ve never seen anything like it and I’ve hunted with horses my entire life. Despite the stress of the morning, it turned out to be a great experience in an amazing place with awesome people. ## Glen Eberle’s Stag ### The day after we connected on Frank’s stag we helped Glen. I could write the story, but this great video will do a much better job than I ever could.

](https://www.instagram.com/coryglauner/) ## Ibex Hunting ### Now that the Maral were out of the way it was time to go Ibex hunting. Ibex hunting in Kazakhstan runs from late August through November. My [ibex hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/ibex/) took place during early September because two of they guys in the group I was hunting with were also hunting Maral stags. Even though my hunt was early in the season, it was still crucial to have the appropriate [mountain hunting gear](https://outdoors-international.com/mountain-goat-hunting-gear-list/). You’ll likely be hunting at or near 13,000 feet, and on top of that (pun intended), Kazakhstan’s terrain can be challenging. Be sure to bring high quality hunting clothing, sturdy (broken in) hiking boots, a good pack, trekking poles, high-quality optics and plenty of patience. I wanted to bowhunt, but it’s illegal in Kazakhstan so I took my .300 WSM instead for the first time in years. ### The country we would be hunting ibex in was much higher than where the maral hang out. We rode the horses out of the lodge and up the gravel road about 5 miles or so where we stopped to glass up into some high country. Within minutes we had spotted four different bands, but the were too far away to tell if there were any good billies. It was a pretty easy ride to get up above the timberline, which took probably an hour or so. Then we were in county that most sane people would tie up the horses and walk from there. Not us though! We rode those tough little horses all the way to the top, which was just over 13,000 feet. > View this post on Instagram > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > [A post shared by Cory Glauner (@coryglauner)](https://www.instagram.com/p/Cw-LQGfo3Ab/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading) ### We spent the day up in the high country, but couldn’t find any ibex. We would sneak up over a ridge and glass a basin, then move on to the next, and the next…nothing. It was getting to be late in the afternoon and I was beginning to think it wasn’t going to happen that day. We sat down and had a lunch of horse meat, cheese, fruit and chai, then moved to the last basin to have a look. Just when we got to the top of the ridge a snowstorm blew in and we couldn’t see, so we huddled up as best we could just below the top of the ridge. Every time the snow would let up, I’d walk up to the top and try to glass into the bowl on the other side. I had my EXO pack covered in a little tarp, so I picked it up and put it on, grabbed my rifle and hiked to the top. There was a little peak about 80 yards to my right that was probably 30 yards higher than the ridgeline that I was standing on, but other than that I was on top of the world as far as the eye could see. The view was spectacular. As soon as I slung my rifle over my shoulder I felt what I thought were ant or bee stings on my side. I thought that maybe some ants had gotten on my pack and were biting me, so I took it off, lifted up my shirt and there was nothing there. Weird. Hindsight makes all of this 20/20, but in the moment I couldn’t figure out what it was. I put my pack back on again, slung my rifle over my shoulder and glassed until the snow moved back in and I stood up and turned around to walk back down off the ridge to wait it out again. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a huge, foot wide lightning bolt come down out of the snow and sizzle the top of that peak above me. Then it struck again and a smaller bolt about as big around as my arm (it was white), reached out from the main blue bolt and hit the top of my rifle. I remember seeing it go down my side along the rifle and it felt like my entire body was attacked by bees, stinging me everywhere. I thought that I immediately set down my rifle and ran down to the guys below, but they said that I stood there stunned for quite awhile and they had to yell at me to get me to respond. I don’t remember that at all. As soon as I came to though, I did set my rifle on the ground and stumble down to them. The stinging continued for a few minutes, but there wasn’t a mark on me. I was good to go and pretty happy to still be breathing. > View this post on Instagram > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > [A post shared by Cory Glauner (@coryglauner)](https://www.instagram.com/p/CxEq4XwIqOI/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading) ### Within an hour of being struck by lightning, I was blessed to take this beautiful ibex. What an incredible experience! During a break in the storm, we spotted a bachelor herd with some nice billies in it and formulated a ridiculous plan that required perfect execution. [Frank Fackovec](https://www.instagram.com/_u/frank.fackovec?fbclid=IwAR3CfLgoA1gydx-9hPylMIiV7ZUY5g1Y7-JakMMlwS65BDs3vFVbTG3R07U) and I were both hunting, so he and most of the guides made a stalk during another snowstorm. Meanwhile, I moved up to what I thought would be their escape route after Frank made a shot. After [he made a beautiful shot](https://outdoors-international.com/long-range-shooting-for-central-asian-hunts/) (that we got on video), the billies started heading my way, but I couldn’t see them because a blizzard had moved back in. All of a sudden a billy popped up into view just yards from me and launched off of the cliff before I even had time to react. I quickly scrambled up to where I would have a shot if another one used the same route, and here came another one. Same thing, he was there and gone in less than 2 seconds and I made a split-second decision to pass. Then passed another and the next one. It was happening so fast and I hoped I was making the right calls. The next one that popped up I thought I recognized as one of the bigger ones in the group and I shot as he was in mid-air leaping off of the cliff and out of my life forever. I didn’t see the impact and there was no reaction, but it was only like a 50-yard shot…. probably less. How could I possibly miss?! Another big one came through, but I didn’t dare shoot in case I hit the other one. I was sweating bullets as I made my way over to look down over the cliff, and there he was. Down. What a relief! Turns out he was the biggest billy in the group. Lightning struck twice. > View this post on Instagram > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > [A post shared by Cory Glauner (@coryglauner)](https://www.instagram.com/p/CxVePRnrhez/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading) ## My Takeaways from Hunting in Kazakhstan ### Be Ready for Long Range Shooting. I found both the maral and ibex to be pretty wary, and getting into range wasn’t an easy task in the open, rocky country they live in. More than being wary, the country is just HUGE, so you are often [shooting from one ridge to another.](https://outdoors-international.com/max-demarco-kyrgyzstan-mid-asian-ibex-hunt-report/) I wish you could bowhunt there because maral hunting would totally be doable with a bow. You could also get it done with ibex, but it would my much more difficult. ### Great Trophy Quality. Kazakhstan’s Ibex population is renowned for producing some of the world’s most impressive trophies, and we saw some monster billies. Some of the maral stags we saw were jaw dropping. The two bull we took were great, but we saw MUCH bigger ones on the mountain, but even at that they ended up being the new SCI #10 and #14 bulls in the world! ### Kazakhstan Culture. A trip to Kazakhstan offers more than just the thrill of the hunt. It provides a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich Kazakh culture. You can expect warm hospitality, traditional cuisine, and a chance to connect with the local communities, adding depth to your adventure.

Absolutely incredible hunt. There’s not much they could do to make it any better. #### How was your guide? The guides were great, and it was hugely helpful that there was an interpreter hunting with us who know good English. #### How was your lodging? Amazing, remote facilities, they spare no expense to make sure you are comfortable. #### How was the food? Great, local cuisine. If I have a complaint, there was too much food. I came away from a mountain hunt and had gained weight. #### How was your outfitters communication? Great. #### How physically demanding was your trip? Moderate. I can’t imagine an “easier” mid-Asian hunt. The horses and using the lodge as base camp made it a much more cushy experience than I expected. [ Contact us About This Trip ](#more-information) ### My Conclusion #### This was an outfitter vetting trip. I went on this hunt to determine whether we (Outdoors International) should use them in the future as a suggestion to clients looking for a mid-Asian hunt. The determination is a resounding yes! We highly recommend this hunt. Ibex hunting in Kazakhstan is an unparalleled adventure that combines the [thrill of the hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/marco-polo-hunting-tajikistan/) with the beauty of the country’s diverse landscapes. If you’re seeking an unforgettable adventure, look no further than Kazakhstan. Prepare for a journey that will test your skills, immerse you in a unique culture, and reward you with the trophy of a lifetime. I also highly suggest adding a maral stag to your hunt, I wish that I had. So, why wait? Embark on your Ibex hunting expedition in Kazakhstan and create memories that will last a lifetime.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Black Bear Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/bc-canada-black-bear-hunt/) **Published:** May 31, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** My stalk was over 30 minutes with Ryan our guide seemly instructing me correctly at every turn, I was able to take a nice bear. **Content:** [British Columbia Black Bear Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-black-bear-hunt/) May, 2018 In my opinion all aspects of my British Columbia black bear hunt were met or exceeded, and I would definitely recommend this outfitter to other [black bear hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/) using either bows or rifles. My plan will be to return when possible. Upon our arrival into Prince George, British Columbia it was nice to be met at the airport and driven directly to the lodge. Jeff and Lana were very helpful with any of our needs which were few due to the fact that camp was we’ll supplied. The guides were knowledgeable and very understanding and helped us [prepare for the hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/spring-bear-hunting-gear-list/). While we were not used to the late day hunt start time (4:00 pm) they most certainly [knew the bears routine](https://outdoors-international.com/daniel-clodfelter/) as [we saw several each day](https://outdoors-international.com/kevin-schmitcke-bc-black-bear-hunt-report/) with the only exception being the first day. My [stalk was over 30 minutes](https://outdoors-international.com/russ-meyer-archery-bc-black-bear/) with Ryan our guide seemly instructing me correctly at every turn, I was able to take a nice bear. [Ryan took good care of the hide and meat](https://outdoors-international.com/bc-bear-hunt/) and also Jeff was able to setup taxidermy services which will get my trophy sent directly to my home.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Columbia Combo Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-mitchell-bushman/) **Published:** October 17, 2016 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** I thought everything was wonderful. the service, and the quality of animals was tremendous. **Content:** [British Columbia Hunting Lodge](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-moose-hunt/) September, 2016 I thought everything was wonderful. the service, and the quality of animals was tremendous. [Moose hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/moose/) was not very strenuous and we got my moose the first day we went out for him. **Boone and Crockett bull moose scoring 206 inches!** Awesome experience shooting him at 20 yards after [calling him in](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-call-moose/) for 20 minutes. After my moose hunt, I found out that mountain goat hunting is more difficult. I hunted four days in some tough country for my [mountain goat](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-mountain-goat-hunt/). Thank goodness I took the [suggested gear list](https://outdoors-international.com/mountain-goat-hunting-gear-list/) seriously and started preparing a full 60 days before the hunt. Probably should have started even sooner.

Russ did a great job of listening to me and helping me [book exactly the hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/alberta-farmland-moose-hunt/) I was looking for. ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

International **Excerpt:** Truly, not enough good words could be spoken about Joseph and all of those that make New Zealand happen. **Content:** **HUNT:** [New Zealand Tahr Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/south-pacific/new-zealand/) **CONSULTANT:** Russ Meyer | Outdoors International May, 2018 [This tahr hunt in New Zealand](https://outdoors-international.com/new-zealand-tahr-hunting-chamois-combo/) was the most enjoyable hunt and experience I could have imagined. Joseph and his guide Tim were most welcoming. Joseph’s knowledge of the habitat and game species was extremely impressive. His [standard of targeted mature bulls](https://outdoors-international.com/new-zealand-tahr-hunting-adventure/) (even under time constraints due to weather) was most refreshing, and quite inspiring. - Overall, my [tahr hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/big-game/goats/tahr/) was **amazing,** I couldn’t have asked for more. - My outfitter’s communication before, during and after the trip was **perfect,** I couldn’t have asked for more. - My guide was **amazing.** - [Physically, the trip was extreme](https://outdoors-international.com/tahr-wilderness-hunt-in-new-zealand/). - The food and accommodations were **amazing.** Again, not enough good words can be said. - My consultant’s communication before, during and after my [New Zealand tahr hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/blair-lasenby/) was **perfect,** I couldn’t have asked for more. - My consultant was **very knowledgeable,** and a pleasure to talk to. - Would you [book another trip](https://outdoors-international.com/new-zealand-chamois-hunt/) with Outdoors International in the future? **Yes.** - Can we use your stories and/or photos on our website? **Yes.** - Can we use this in social media? **Yes.** ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today! We’re looking forward to helping you book a great trip with an amazing outfitter. ![The B-Run Steelhead on the Clearwater River are huge!](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/AF990EE9-56DE-4C83-9308-D719F40772C2-e1676412880239-280x280.jpeg "Ernie Sorensen Client Patrick Kissel Idaho Steelhead Fishing Clearwater River ASC » Outdoors International") ### Thank you Outdoors International! It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won! We won this fully guided, all-inclusive New Zealand red stag hunt in the OI Draw!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

Report](https://outdoors-international.com/travis-brown-archery-bc-black-bear-hunt-report/) **Published:** May 24, 2017 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** I hunted with Russ. He is knowledgeable about hunting but could use a little more OTJT (on the job training) LOL!!! **Content:** HUNT: [British Columbia Black Bear Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/british-columbia-black-bear-hunt/) CONSULTANT: Russ Meyer, Outdoors International May 16-23, 2019 Had a great time [black bear hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/), our guide Danielle was great to work with. Let us get out and stretch our legs and allowed us to get some real [bow hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/nunavut-muskox-hunting/) in! The group in camp was a riot (in a good way), and a fun time to get to know. The food was decent, a couple of bad meals but then there were a couple of good ones too. The [bear hunting was great](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-alaska-diy-vessel-based-blacktail-randy-posey/). ## Hunt Report - Overall, my trip was **good.** There were a couple of issues I felt could have been handled differently by the Outfitter, as there was some tension after these happened. Since this a [vacation](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/) I was bummed it happened, since we’re all there to have a great time not argue or cause drama. I also witnessed some arguments between and an employee I feel should’ve been handled in private. But overall the trip was fun and the hunting was fun. - My outfitter’s communication before, during and after the trip was **fair.** I didn’t get the info email from the Outfitter letting me know what was needed until I asked Russ about it and he sent me the packing list the same day. - My guide was **good.** - Physically, the trip was **easy.** - The food and accommodations were **fair.** - My Outdoors International [Hunting Consultant](https://outdoors-international.com/alberta-black-bear-hunt/) Russ Meyer, AKA “Old Balls” is knowledgeable about hunting but could use a little more OTJT \*On-The-Job-Training LOL (Not sure if that’s abbreviated correctly). - Would you book another trip with us in the future? **Yes.** - Can we use your stories and/or photos on our website? **Yes.** - Can we use this in social media? **Yes.** [ ![Treed black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/bc-black-bear.jpg "british columbia-black-bear » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/bc-black-bear.jpg) [ ![Hunters skylined](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/British-Columbia-Black-Bear-Hunt-Russ-Meyer-Travis-Browne-5.jpg "Hunter Silhouette » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/British-Columbia-Black-Bear-Hunt-Russ-Meyer-Travis-Browne-5.jpg) [ ![Skylined bowhunter](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/British-Columbia-Black-Bear-Hunt-Russ-Meyer-Travis-Browne-6.jpg "Hunter Silhouette scenery » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/British-Columbia-Black-Bear-Hunt-Russ-Meyer-Travis-Browne-6.jpg) [ ![Russ and Travis with Travis's bear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/British-Columbia-Black-Bear-Hunt-Russ-Meyer-Travis-Browne-7.jpg "British-Columbia-Black-Bear-Hunt-Russ-Meyer-Travis-Browne-7 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/British-Columbia-Black-Bear-Hunt-Russ-Meyer-Travis-Browne-7.jpg) [ ![OI client Travis Brown with his archery black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/British-Columbia-Black-Bear-Hunt-Russ-Meyer-Travis-Browne-8.jpg "British-Columbia-Black-Bear-Hunt-Russ-Meyer-Travis-Browne-8 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/British-Columbia-Black-Bear-Hunt-Russ-Meyer-Travis-Browne-8.jpg) [ ![Skinning a black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/British-Columbia-Black-Bear-Hunt-Russ-Meyer-Travis-Browne-9.jpg "Travis Browne skinning black bear » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/British-Columbia-Black-Bear-Hunt-Russ-Meyer-Travis-Browne-9.jpg) [ ![Skinning a black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/British-Columbia-Black-Bear-Hunt-Russ-Meyer-Travis-Browne-10.jpg "Travis Browne skinning black bear » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/British-Columbia-Black-Bear-Hunt-Russ-Meyer-Travis-Browne-10.jpg) [ ![Russ and Travis with their bears](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/British-Columbia-Black-Bear-Hunt-Russ-Meyer-Travis-Browne-13.jpg "British-Columbia-Black-Bear-Hunt-Russ-Meyer-Travis-Browne » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/British-Columbia-Black-Bear-Hunt-Russ-Meyer-Travis-Browne-13.jpg) [ ![Russ, Travis and the guides with their bears](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/British-Columbia-Black-Bear-Hunt-Russ-Meyer-Travis-Browne-15.jpg "British-Columbia-Black-Bear-Hunt-Russ-Meyer-Travis-Browne-15 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/British-Columbia-Black-Bear-Hunt-Russ-Meyer-Travis-Browne-15.jpg) [ ![Russ with his BC black bear](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/British-Columbia-Black-Bear-Hunt-Russ-Meyer-Travis-Browne-16.jpg "British-Columbia-Black-Bear-Hunt-Russ-Meyer » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/British-Columbia-Black-Bear-Hunt-Russ-Meyer-Travis-Browne-16.jpg) [ ![Get Serious.

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

The lodge, staff and food were top quality. The hunting was good, it is real hunting, the animals were very spooky. We didn’t see any real big stags, but [the roar was good](https://outdoors-international.com/the-red-stag-roar/) and the stalks were fun.

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

[ GET A FREE QUOTE ](#quote) ## Travel Insurance for Hunters – What you need to know before you purchase your policy. ### Medical Evacuation for Hunters Hunting can be dangerous, and often takes place in remote environments. It’s nice to have the peace of mind that if something does happen to you on a hunt, you are able to be evacuated to a hospital of your choice. **It is HIGHLY advised to buy additional CANCEL FOR ANY REASON trip cancellation coverage**. ### Travel Insurance for Hunters will Cover Cancelled Hunts Most policies say that they include cancellation coverage, but **be sure to read the small print**. There are often exclusions that may include: - Cancellations by airlines or outfitters - Changes made by the insured hunter - Cancellation caused by a change in the hunters financial situation - Government regulation changes - Changes to the insured hunter prior to the effective insurance date - Failure of the guide or outfitter to provide travel plans This list includes almost any eventualities leading to a cancellation, so we stress again: Please consider purchasing “cancel for any reason” coverage. ![10 Reasons You Need to Consider Travel Insurance](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Travel-Insurance-Airport-Snow-Storm-AdobeStock_175590951-scaled-1-scaled.jpeg "Travel Insurance Airport Snow Storm AdobeStock_175590951-scaled » Outdoors International") ### Missed Flights and Weather Delays are a Reality of Hunting If you’ve hunted long, you know that weather can wreak havoc on your travel schedule. If a missed flight connection causes lost hunting time, make sure your policy allows for reimbursement for this prepaid, non-refundable trip cost. Your policy could also include any additional expenses such as food or hotel rooms that could come with weather delays and missed flights. ### Coverage of Baggage, Personal Items and Hunting Gear Insuring your hunting equipment, firearms, baggage and personal belongings is very important when traveling, especially in third world situations. No matter how well planned the hunt is, baggage is lost or stolen every year. **An insurance premium is a small price to pay for protecting your valuable property.** ## Travel Insurance for Hunters – Who we use and recommend: The best company we’ve found that provides travel insurance for hunters is Travel Guard. With few exceptions, over the years they have saved us and our clients hundreds of thousands of dollars. Cancelled hunts are a reality, protect yourself as well as possible. NOTE: As with any good thing, there have been some issues. When our clients have problems with a claim, it is almost always because they did not purchase the “Cancel For Any Reason” policy. We HIGHLY recommend that you you use this option, but you need to be aware that you only have 10 days after your date of deposit to get that highest level of coverage. There has also been one case where a Federal Government closure in Alaska was not covered. However, with that said our overall experience with Travel Guard has been stellar. Fill out the form below and Travel Guard will send you a free quote. Be sure to update it to include all expenses, gear, flights etc so that you are fully covered. ## Get a Free Travel Insurance Quote #### Please be thorough. Claims can only be made based on what the policy is written for. Outdoors International DOES NOT provide travel insurance for hunters, but we do HIGHLY recommend it. This company has been the best we’ve found. Your quote can sometimes take a few days to put together and will come directly from Travel Guard. Be sure to check your spam folder if you don’t see it soon. ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

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.

I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

**Published:** December 22, 2022 **Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** [Strobel Lake Fly Fishing Lodge](https://outdoors-international.com/strobel-lake-fishing-lodge/) December 10, 2022 ## Great fishing lodge with food and service that exceeded expectations. All of the fishing guides were great to be around and our guide Emmanuel was superb. He moved us around and found fish and did his best to deal with the wind that never quit. [I expected big trout on this trip](https://outdoors-international.com/strobel-lake/), based on all the stories i have read over the last several years. I was not disappointed as **I broke my own personal best [rainbow trout](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing-trips/species/rainbow-trout/) record at least SIX times on this trip,** with the biggest being a 16 pound beauty. I will hopefully go again soon!

Alaska Moose Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/self-guided-moose-hunt-report-by-jesse-prier/) **Published:** October 2, 2023 **Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** [Self Guided Moose Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/unguided-moose-hunting-in-alaska/) September 15, 2023 Overall, our [unguided moose hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/diy/) was great experience. Leading up to the trip I did a poor job of understanding the ins-and-outs of [moose hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-michael-harvey-unguided-moose-in-alaska/) all together. We had a group of four \[and we all\] hunted out of the same camp. All four hunters were successful. We were advised against it, I’m sure due to not having that many chances at moose, or the limitations of the area we were in. But having four guys to pack out a moose was very handy and made short work of a big task. I understand the transporter doesn’t really know where a group will be [hunting until a day or two](https://outdoors-international.com/two-buck-hunt-report-by-tyler-roles/) before, but would have been nice to have some maps of the area ahead of time. \[You need to\] truly [understand the limitations of the tundra swamp](https://outdoors-international.com/preparing-for-an-unguided-hunt/). We learned that really quick after one of our guys shot a bull night one. We butchered and separated the [animal half underwater](https://outdoors-international.com/dave-thomas-diy-drop-camp-unguided-caribou-hunt-report/). It worked out and we got smarter after that first one was done and back to camp. ![Four for four on an unguided moose hunt.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/1-1020x1020.jpg "jesse Prier 2023 Client RAA Unguided Moose Alaska » Outdoors International") ![having four guys to pack out a moose was very handy and made short work of a big task.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/2-1020x1020.jpg "jesse Prier 2023 Client RAA Unguided Moose Alaska » Outdoors International") [ ![A nice DIY moose](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/3-480x640.jpg "jesse Prier 2023 Client RAA Unguided Moose Alaska » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/3-1020x1360.jpg) [ ![Packing out the last load.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/4-480x640.jpg "jesse Prier 2023 Client RAA Unguided Moose Alaska Packout » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/4-1020x1360.jpg) [ ![Moose are BIG](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5-480x640.jpg "jesse Prier 2023 Client RAA Unguided Moose Alaska » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5-1020x1360.jpg) [ ![Moose hunting in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/6-480x640.jpg "jesse Prier 2023 Client RAA Unguided Moose Alaska » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/6-1020x1360.jpg) [ ![Moose hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/7-480x640.jpg "jesse Prier 2023 Client RAA Unguided Moose Alaska » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/7-1020x1360.jpg) [ ![A nice bull moose](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/8-480x640.jpg "jesse Prier 2023 Client RAA Unguided Moose Alaska » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/8-1020x1360.jpg) ### Outfitter Evaluation #### How would you rate your trip overall?

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won!

Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH’s and their awesome staff.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

Moose Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/moose-hunt-report-by-corey-kanitz/) **Published:** October 3, 2023 **Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** [Alaska Moose Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-trophy-moose-hunt/) September 16-25, 2023 Our outfitter did an excellent job with [our moose hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/self-guided-moose-hunt-report-by-jesse-prier/). They provided everything [listed with quality gear](https://outdoors-international.com/unguided-moose-hunt-gear-list/) to boot. I would suggest to future hunters, ask a lot of questions and make sure you know what you are getting into. A [DIY moose hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/unguided-moose-hunting-in-alaska/) is very physically demanding. I am 50 years old and of good health, it was the most physically demanding hunt I have ever been on. Make sure you have a form of communication that will work before you get there. I.E. satellite phone, or [Garmin unit](https://outdoors-international.com/garmin-inreach-mini/). Make sure you have quality rain gear, waders and a good bone saw. Be physically prepared to pack moose quarters (bone in) out of a knee deep swamp. ### Outfitter Evaluation #### How would you rate your trip overall? Good. #### How was your guide?

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won!

Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH’s and their awesome staff.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

](https://www.youtube.com/@outdoorsinternational) **Categories:** Client Hunt Reports, Consultant: Kyle Hanson, Outfitter #OI-RAA **Tags:** #OITAGGEDOUT, Alaska, Moose --- ### [Danny Torrell: Idaho Drop Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/danny-torrell/) **Published:** October 28, 2019 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** I think I got what I payed for and would recommend both this outfitter and Outdoors International. Already planning a redemption Idaho guided hunt. Thanks again. **Content:** [Idaho Backcountry Mule Deer Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-elk-hunting/) October 12-22, 2019 Normally I skip over these reports because I’m not a writer. But after working with Kyle, he deserves my time. Headed out on an [elk hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/elk/) for the first time unguided may have been a stretch. But [having a pocket full of Idaho tags and the ability to hunt elk](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-elk-hunting/) whatever we found let us confident. [This drop hunt in Idaho](https://outdoors-international.com/elk-drop-camp-hunts/) was physically the hardest hunt I have personally ever experienced. Down two notches on my belt in 10 days. Started of slow with more hunting pressure than I would like. When booking, I didn’t plan for that but after speaking with some friends what have [hunted mule deer in Idaho](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/mule-deer/), they prepared me for that. ### Our outfitter did as they said they would do. Packed us in professionally and safely on some rugged terrain. Dropped us and our [gear](https://outdoors-international.com/elk-hunting-gear-list/) off without much direction. With that being said, [you get what you pay for right](https://outdoors-international.com/swinging-flies-for-wild-steelhead-in-alaska/)? We hunted hard in those nine days, even getting out the evening of being packed in. Not much success to start as the pressure and a couple rookies took some time and used the weather to fill two mule deer tags. Never seeing an elk I was disgusted, but some time reflecting on the mountain helped me cope with that. I didn’t get a guided hunt, I got a [drop camp](https://outdoors-international.com/mule-deer-hunting-in-wyoming/) and things could have swayed our direction if the elk would have moved our direction rather than away. Can’t blame them for going the other way when one nice bull was harvested. We were told by some [fellow backcountry hunter](https://outdoors-international.com/leonard-vierra/)s that we needed to bust the brush to get our eyes on these deer. So that we did, after trudging 8-10 miles in the [most grueling country (I have hunted) ever](https://outdoors-international.com/final-hunt-for-indigo/), 10/21 our last day I went for one last hike from our camp, to put eyes on a beautiful lake, to Mountain. I never cut a fresh elk track. So coming to my senses I texted my wife via inReach, and said I was going to put my last few hours into the thickest route back to camp possible trying to kick up a muley. Walking through I bumped a younger 4×4 and cut him off with a 45 degree, 100 yard charge downhill to see the adjacent ridge. He was bounding away with seven doe as I touched off my first round (fatal), but the adrenaline and tunnel vision lead me to think he was stopped standing about 180 yards away on the hillside. I pinned my 28 then against a charred pine and squeezed the trigger again. He didn’t move. Turned out the first round was right where it should have been, and the country was so steep that when it hit him, he buckled and was just laying there. Better safe than sorry. The outfitter offered to come and pack him out for us, saying not to kill ourselves getting the meat out but we had a short uphill drag and a downhill walk to camp. ### The outfitter is old school, great with the horses and his job. From being on other [hunts and outfitters,](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/coues-deer/) I feel like he is the real deal down to business. Not the most personable, but yet it wasn’t a [guided hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/moose/) so that’s not fair to him. His helper was very personable and wife was a big help going out of her way to help communicate, make lunch on our pack in and everything she said she would do. They make a great team. I think I got what I paid for and would recommend both this outfitter and Outdoors International. Already planning a redemption [Idaho guided elk hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-elk-hunting/). Thanks again.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Wilderness --- ### [Brad Pfeil: New Zealand Tahr Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/new-zealand-tahr-hunting-adventure/) **Published:** March 3, 2011 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** A public land, free ranging New Zealand tahr hunting adventure. You don't have to spend big dollars to have a great hunt in New Zealand. **Content:** [Tahr Hunting in New Zealand with Outdoors International](https://outdoors-international.com/new-zealand-tahr-hunting-chamois-combo/) March, 2011 Well I am back home after an awesome time on my [New Zealand tahr hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/big-game/goats/tahr/) adventure. Certainly [Tahr hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/capra-world-slam/) is one of the toughest things you will ever do, but there is something about it that draws you in, and one thing is for sure; you will go back and do it again, as I will. I chose to hunt public land ([Department of Conservation](https://www.doc.govt.nz/) or DoC) with this outfitter as this is a [much cheaper option than a private land hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/himalayan-tahr-hunt-in-new-zealand/), albeit the tougher option. With our camp and hunting gear organized, we headed up into the first side valley to look for tahr. At our first glassing point, my guide had his Leica binos![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=1a2b2211841636120eecd75cbd4273ec&_cb=1567615501489) to his eyes for approximately two minutes when he says *“There’s one….two.”* He had to point them out for me, these animals are seriously hard to spot and it took me a day or two until I was finding them for myself. Anyhow, we found two nannies and a young bull about a kilometer away atop a bluff so we moved on further up the gully for a look. Near the head of the gully we spotted about five bulls spread down a ridge, but with the day getting on we opted to leave them for the morning. Next day we left camp and were headed up the side valley before first light. Again a couple of younger animals and nannies were seen up high on the way in , but we were headed for the mature bulls. After a lot of glassing we located a couple of animals up high, bedded in some bluffs. It seems the tahr were still very high up, especially the [mature bulls who were separated after the rut](https://outdoors-international.com/best-time-to-go-hunting-in-new-zealand/). The time had come…..out came the ice axe and walking stick because we had to climb… It is seriously hard to judge distance up here, a couple of animals I judged as 4-500 yards were off the scale through my guides Leica rangefinder binos![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=8ceacda0493c0d30b4ca13c9314e1ebc&_cb=1567615576554). That means they were 1300 + yards away!! I had never used a rangefinder![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=f8c840c69beda392ebf1352e11089cd7&_cb=1567615566200) before but it is essential kit up here IMO. We had around a kilometer to climb up to these particular tahr. Not too bad I thought…until he says, *“this will be the slowest kilometer you’ve ever done.”* How right he was. Two solid hours of climbing later we sat among the bluffs at 1,800 m altitude, and what a view looking down…you can just see the valley floor in the distance. ### This is mountain hunting! [Climbing through the rocks](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-kyrgyzstan-ibex-marco-polo/) and snow is seriously energy-sapping, you need to be constantly aware of where you place every foot and in most areas you have to kick a good toe-hold in the ice before taking another step. From here it became some [serious rock climbing](https://outdoors-international.com/shawn-davis-kyrgyzstan-ibex-hunt-report/) through the bluffs, expecting to see animals at any time. As Simon stuck his head over a couple of boulders he saw the animals and motioned to me to climb up. I got up and kicked a couple of good footholds, then lowered the bipod![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=5811ba49d7c5adddc72ba31038af4b8a&_cb=1567615667074). A nanny and two young bulls were standing together on the next bluff. Simon ranged them at 190 yards and judged them as young 9 inch bulls. They were only young bulls but after a long tough climb I decided to take the best of the two, I didn’t want to pass something up early as there may not be another chance. I put the cross hairs low into his shoulder and squeezed, the .30/06 almost surprised me as it went off and the bull was blown clean off the other side of the bluff. Getting off of the mountain is difficult. Shooting an animal up here is only half of the story, [then you have to get to it](https://outdoors-international.com/world-record-mountain-goat/). we had to drop down below the bluffs, sidle across a heap of knee-deep snow and then climb up an avalanche chute where we finally found my bull. Only young, but a bull tahr all the same and we were on the board. After hunting up here, I reckon that [any Tahr taken fair-chase, on public land, on foot without a helicopter is truly a trophy earned](https://outdoors-international.com/new-zealand-tahr-hunting-chamois-combo/). I was stoked with my first bull and he is currently becoming a shield-mount. Back at camp that night we celebrated over a great venison stew and I introduced Simon to the wonders of “Queensland Diesel” ROFL For two nights we shared the hut with two guys from Invercargill. It was great to meet a couple more Kiwi hunters and although Stan and Glen hunted hard they went home empty handed, leaving us to hunt on. The only other people seen during our four-day stay were a couple of extreme skiers who were trekking in to a Glacier Lake. Nutbags…. On the last afternoon of my hunt we located three mature bulls atop a bluff. We climbed a rocky ridge opposite and settled in for a long wait. What an awesome sight, seeing the wind blowing through the manes of these big bulls as they cling to the smallest ledges. Simon judged them to be good bulls in the 11-inch class. We sat among those rocks for three solid hours until light began to fade. Eventually one bull got hungry enough and took a few steps down to the left. Simon asked if I could still see them through the scope. I sure could! *“410 yards, it’s now or never”*, he replied. I had never [made a shot at that distance](https://outdoors-international.com/long-range-shooting-for-central-asian-hunts/) before. I knew my .30/06 hits 6 inches low at 300 meters, so I held a few inches above the bull’s thick mane and fired. *“He’s hit!”* Simon yelled. I looked up in disbelief as the bull tumbled downwards. In a narrow chute the bull found his feet again. *“Hit him again”*, Simon said, *“325 yards.”* I held dead-on and hit the bull, he tumbled downwards again and the excitement was electric after such a long wait. However, disbelief set in again as the bull came to rest on a tiny ledge above a waterfall, stone dead. Sadly, there was no way to get to him. After a restless night back at camp, we headed back first thing in the morning. We had hopes that the bull had fallen down; but alas he was still up there. I put a couple more shots into him to try and dislodge him, but nothing worked. Simon thought long and hard about every possible way of getting to the bull, but an animal is not worth someone’s life so my trophy is still sitting on a ledge, halfway up a bluff in New Zealand. We left detailed directions with Simon’s phone number in the hut book, the bull is located in a waterfall path so Simon is sure he will wash down in the next big rains. He only had to fall a foot in any direction and he would have landed on a large shingle slide and slid right down to the creek bed! Hopefully if an honest hunter finds him I may get my trophy back someday. All-in-all [this hunt was an awesome experience](https://outdoors-international.com/tahr-wilderness-hunt-in-new-zealand/) that I will definitely repeat. ### I can’t recommend this New Zealand tahr hunting adventure highly enough! Anyone thinking of hunting New Zealand, just go and do it, as I have proved you don’t have to spend big dollars. The terrain and hunting is so vastly different to our country in [Australia](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/south-pacific/australia/) that just being there is an experience in itself. And you will not go wrong hunting with using [Outdoors International](https://outdoors-international.com/about-us/). They set me up with a straight-up bloke who hunts at your pace and really knows and loves his [tahr hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/new-zealand-chamois-hunt/). - Overall, my trip was a great experience. - My outfitter’s communication before, during and after the trip was great. - My guide was amazing. - Physically, the trip was difficult. ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today! We’re looking forward to helping you book a great trip with an amazing outfitter. ![The B-Run Steelhead on the Clearwater River are huge!](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/AF990EE9-56DE-4C83-9308-D719F40772C2-e1676412880239-280x280.jpeg "Ernie Sorensen Client Patrick Kissel Idaho Steelhead Fishing Clearwater River ASC » Outdoors International") ### Thank you Outdoors International! It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should. They’re legit! **Tyler Kirk** / OI Draw Winner ![Brandon Ball, OI Draw winner with a truly amazing fallow deer.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Brandon-Ball-Client-New-Zealand-Fallow-Deer-EANZ-2025-IMG_5518-280x280.jpg "Brandon Ball Client New Zealand Fallow Deer EANZ 2025 IMG_5518 » Outdoors International") ### I couldn’t believe we won! We won this fully guided, all-inclusive New Zealand red stag hunt in the OI Draw! I highly recommend this hunt, and Outdoors International—fantastic company, amazing meals, and hunts that are second to none. **Brandon Ball** / OI Draw Winner ![Brye with his awesome kudu bull](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Brye-Mangum-Africa-Hunt-Winner-Trip-Report9.jpeg "Brye-Mangum-Africa-Hunt-Winner-Trip-Report9 » Outdoors International") ### I’m so grateful for the opportunity! Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH’s and their awesome staff. I made some new friends and will be back to Africa again 100%. **Brye Mangum** / OI Draw Winner ![Impala](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Dason-Lasiter-Client-South-Africa-Plains-Game-Hunt-Winner-DWHS-Archery-impala.jpg "Dason Lasiter Client South Africa Plains Game Hunt Winner DWHS Archery impala » Outdoors International") ### My most memorable and rewarding experience. This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

[Patrick Kissel: Chile-Patagonia, Rio Blanco Fishing Report](https://outdoors-international.com/rio-blanco-base-camp-report/) **Published:** April 5, 2019 **Author:** Patrick Kissel **Excerpt:** The fishery is recently discovered and this is only the third year in operation. This is undoubtedly one of the last truly remote fisheries and I am lucky to be able to offer and share this trip with you. **Content:** [Chile-Patagonia Fly Fishing – Rio Blanco Base Camp](https://outdoors-international.com/patagonia-chile-fly-fishing/) March, 2019 This is the second part of my journal from a recent trip to the [Rio Blanco Base Camp](https://outdoors-international.com/ryan-ersland-patagonia-fishing-report/), read the first part of this Fishing Report [here](https://outdoors-international.com/central-patagonia-fly-fishing-lodge/). A 35 mile section of river that is entirely exclusive to our outfitter in Patagonia. The river takes some work to get to but is well worth the trek. The only way in is by horseback through the steep and rugged mountains. The fishery is recently discovered and this is only the third year in operation. This is undoubtedly one of [the last truly remote fisheries](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/remote-backcountry-trips/) and I am lucky to be able to offer and share this trip with you. ### ![The horses were loaded with our gear, food, and extra beer and we were off. If the group wasn’t already wide eyed and excited they were now.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ca3c00b2e97720d42535cd3282f179ce-1024x683.jpg "» Outdoors International") ## Day 6 – Lower Simpson Eduardo and Tomas drove the part of our group that was staying the extra days to fish the camp to [fly fish for trout](/product-tag/fly-fishing-guides/) the Lower Simpson River. This section is on the way to the trailhead to get to the Rio Blanco base camp and is on another stretch where Eduardo has exclusive permission. In an hour and a half I landed over a dozen [browns and rainbow trout](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing-trips/species/rainbow-trout/), two of which were 18” fish. It was a great quick stop on the way to the [Rio Simpson Base Camp](https://outdoors-international.com/patagonia-fly-fishing-adventure-2/). ### We met Jorge, the gaucho and the other group coming out of the Blanco. I didn’t need to get anyone excited about the horse ride or the fishing as the last groups stoke meter was topped out and it was story after story from them. The horses were loaded with our gear, food, and extra beer and we were off. If the group wasn’t already wide eyed and excited they were now. These horses do a great job climbing and descending rocks and walking through deep mud. It’s quite impressive the work they do and how well they perform in that terrain. They know where to go but sometimes need to be told. After an hour and a half ride we were at the boats. The guides had to fix a motor drive shaft before we headed up the river another 45 minutes to the camp. It was no problem, as we all understand things can go wrong and you just learn to figure it out and deal with it. Most of this group was from [Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/north-america/united-states/alaska/) and understood the situation and our remote position. ### The Rio Blanco and the valley looked and felt [more beautiful than I remembered.](https://outdoors-international.com/don-long-patagonia-fishing-report/) The water was a little lower and clearer than when I fished here last December and looked prime. With a new kitchen/eating/hangout tent with large overhanging deck the camp is nearly complete now. The lumber to build the main tent was all milled on site by the head guide Andy. Rock paths go to each tent and to the shower and bathhouse behind the tent camp. This place is incredible and I can’t wait to fish it. ### ![Evan landed a great fish tonight with Jose that went 26”.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ebc2fb385fd119e7803d29ace2b2a1a6-1024x768.jpg "» Outdoors International") ## Day 7 We woke and had a hearty breakfast and coffee at 8:30. Most of the meals at the camp are made on a wood fired stove and oven that also acts as heat for the main tent. It is a really neat set up that intrigued me for a future stove in my own home. ### Andy was our guide for the first day and Jared and I were jaw dropped boating up river the fog was burning off as the sun came over the lush green mountains and warmed up the day. The river was as good as I remember. We went all the way up river to the rapids and started fishing our way down. The upper Blanco is swift and you are in a deeper tighter canyon. I caught three rainbows and a half dozen [browns on a mouse](https://outdoors-international.com/fly-fishing-alaska-rainbow-trout/) before I changed to a streamer. I fished a big black and purple articulated fly. I had luck here last year with one similar and it worked again incredibly well. It takes a lot of work to make the fly swim and look good but I think it produces some bigger fish. The coolest one I had today was a fish that chased my fly five freakin’ times, and I could not get it hooked! It was a real giant, of course because I didn’t see it up close, but even Andy was heartbroken on this one. Still that first day I had 35-40 trout that were 16-21”! When we got back Andy said to me with a smirk “*as good as you remember last season?*” I looked and laughed “*yup! maybe even better*”. ### [Evan landed a great fish](https://outdoors-international.com/evan-barrickman-patagonia-fishing-trip-report/) tonight with Jose that went 26 inches. Seems everyone had a banner first day and were blown away on the number of quality fish landed. It certainly helps to be to be a good angler and be able to get it into the many “fishy” looking spots but beginners such as my buddy Greg will also do well here. Greg said he had at least 20 fish and he was smiling from ear to ear. This place will ruin most trout anglers for anywhere else they fish. The number of quality fish is unreal and the fact that we have 35 miles of water that no one else has access to is mind removing. Truly one of the last discovered trout fisheries anywhere! We had appetizers and beers around the fire outside before heading in to have a 5-star dinner. ### ![I made a 40 foot cast and before I could finish my first strip he ate. He had me chasing him around logs before Andy tailed him. It was a stud male brown with a big old head on him. I fished the side channel a little longer and had five more nice browns on the mouse.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/9bd09308312b0bfbb8ca83e9188ba505-1024x768.jpg "» Outdoors International") ## Day 8 I woke to the smell of coffee drifting into the tent window there was a light drizzle but the clouds were breaking. It looks to be another perfect fishing day on the Rio Blanco with cloud cover and some on and off rain. Streamers should be on fire and I don’t imagine why they wouldn’t crush a mouse like they did yesterday. I’m hoping to find a grande today something two feet or better…it’s going to happen. ~*my thoughts before the day started* ### Today ended up being tougher fishing perhaps it was the slight change in pressure from the rain we had. I did have one really cool eat on a mouse though. We walked up a side channel and Andy called out where they had a big fish eat a few days prior but didn’t land it. “*See that king fisher on that limb? Now straight below it that log…just above there.*” I made a 40 foot cast and before I could finish my first strip he ate. He had me chasing him around logs before Andy tailed him. It was a stud male brown with a big old head on him. I fished the side channel a little longer and had five more nice browns on the mouse. ### After lunch the water dirtied a bit but we still got into a few nice fish on streamers. I say it was tougher but in relative terms it was still a great day of fishing just not for the Rio Blanco. **I touched over 20 fish and Jared had 10 or so and only fished a short time between filming.** Everyone else had similar days. [Loyd decided to fish the spring creek](https://outdoors-international.com/loyd-wilson-southern-patagonia-fly-fishing-report/) behind the camp for half hour before dinner and said he had two fish on a dry one of which Hayden the guide said was 22” but who knows we never did see a photo HAHA. ### ![Ryan showed off photos of a fish him and Hayden got on the river that was 23” and had really cool spots and Greg and Andy had a few fish over 20” to make it Gregs best day fishing for size of the trout landed.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/1f25e98e6bb5e1fb481b7b15f752e07d-1024x768.jpg "» Outdoors International") ## Day 9 It rained a little more in the night and the mountains were dusted with snow. In the distance were small showers of rain and it looked to be on and off showers for the day. The river didn’t come up any during the night and if anything cleared up a little. None of the guides were worried anyways as this is normal and the fish are used to it. That morning Jose tied a [**big cantaria beetle**](https://outdoors-international.com/cantaria-beetle/) but didn’t have any foam to tie so Andy cut a chunk from his mattress pad. Talk about making things work! Loyd and I fished with Jose on this day and I always enjoy getting out with him. Jose is an intense guide to say the least, but I love it. He has lots of energy and works hard to get you into fish. If you are new to streamer fishing, a day out with him will have you in shape to crush fish. ### It was only an hour into the day when I stuck a few nice fish on a big black streamer and then tied into a hog. The cast was only a 20-foot flop into the logs and he was on it as soon as I moved my fly. I had him tight and he dove under the boat, we had logs on either side of us and Jose was yelling to horse that son of a gun! He bent my 8wt echo salt rod![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=3c4aa463cd8555bbe4ba2a52634165ea&_cb=1554477997686) well over what seemed like the breaking point. This fish had me corked and I couldn’t bring him back to the surface before the hook pulled free. Some choice words were let out as I just got my butt kicked by this fish. That was the one no doubt; the one that will keep me dreaming of this place until next year. It looked like such a thick buttery brown and I wanted to see him up close but she had different plans. However at the same time Loyd landed a nice fish that stretched over 20″, but the entire boat was distraught after my fish swam free. Later in the day the sun popped out and Loyd caught four nice fish on that exact beetle that Jose tied up. One was a [big rainbow trout](https://outdoors-international.com/strobel-lake-argentina-journal/) that slurped it up in the surface film of a back eddy and the others were browns 17-20” with shoulders. I fished my butt off and moved a lot of good fish with the streamer but didn’t stick anymore “big” fish. ### This is our last full day here in Chile and it gives me goosebumps riding up river to camp, being so lucky to have spent four days here fishing with friends in such a remote and untouched river. When I got back to camp it sounded like the other guys had a fun half day fishing the spring creek followed by half day fishing the river. The spring creek offers tough and technical fishing but can reward you with some really big browns. They are very dark in the creek and last year guests landed a few fish over 25”. Jared landed his best fish of the trip on the creek that he caught on a dry. Ryan showed off photos of a fish him and Hayden got on the river that was 23” and had really cool spots and [Greg and Andy had a few fish over 20”](https://outdoors-international.com/gregory-schneider-fly-fishing-report-for-patagonia-chile/) to make it Greg’s best day fishing for size of the trout landed. ### ![He was dark in color and his belly was fat. This was my fish and I was stoked! That was it, we ended it on that fish and motored to the horses then rode the trail out.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ef8a9ec971575362aee08121539ec562-1024x768.jpg "» Outdoors International") ## Day 10 ### This was our last morning on the Rio Blanco and we fished a half-day down to the horses. This time Hayden was our guide and I was fishing with Loyd again. We decided to try a big yellow streamer. I still needed my “big fish” of the trip. I was losing faith in it when I stuck a nice 18” brown with the most vibrant orange spots. I stuck with that yellow fly and we were down to the wire when I cast one over a large log. The water between it and the bank slowed and looked perfect for a big brown as much of this water does. From nowhere a dark shadow appeared and my fly was gone. I cranked on that fish to get it over the log and as it flopped over Hayden yelled with excitement. ### Its awesome when you have guides get just as excited as you for a fish! It fought hard but we got this one to the net and it was a big old male on the end of its years. He was dark in color and his belly was fat. This was my fish and I was stoked! That was it, we ended it on that fish and motored to the horses then rode the trail out. ![Chile Patagonia Magic Waters Fishing Loge](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Chile-Patagonia-Magic-Waters-Fishing-Loge.jpg "Chile-Patagonia-Magic-Waters-Fishing-Loge Mw1 » Outdoors International") ## Day 11 ### Loyd and I [fished the Laguna from the lodge](/chile-patagonia-fly-fishing-lodge/) for an hour or so before packing up for the airport. It was a perfectly calm morning and just good to be out on the small lake rowing around while Loyd fished. We lost one and landed one nice brown trout. They are so dark in the lagoon because of the muddy bottom and tannic water. The sun was at our backs so we saw the fish cruise 4 feet and just come over to kill his little olive sparkle streamer. It was such an exciting eat as the sun lit up the colors of the brown trout. We called it with that fish and smile at each other both saying how great of a trip this has been. ### I look forward to next year’s adventure!

The valley was wide with snow covered mountains on each side. It was a late Spring. The two tents, one for the guide and one for me, were set up in alters. The walk to the glassing point was a mile each way. It was a strenuous walk to and from glassing knob. Due to the distance from camp to the glassing knob, [we had to spend the entire day, every day on the glassing knob](https://outdoors-international.com/a-bittersweet-kodiak-brown-bear-hunt/). We spent 12-14 hours on the knob each day in the cold, wind and rain/snow/sleet. Typically, awake at 0600, quick coffee and oatmeal, hike to the knob, start glassing 0700 or 0800 and stay until 2200. The first two bears we saw were out at 2100 to 2200. The third bear, which I shot on the last day was out at 1500. Glassing is hard and when you do not see bears it is discouraging. But, you have to put in the hours because [you never know when THE bear will appear](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-brown-bears/) out of nowhere, as mine did. The bear appeared at 1500/16 May, 2024 the last day of my hunt. It was first sighted in a field in front of our glassing spot and to our left about 800 yards. Cody (my guide) and I took off our shell layer, jackets, and mukluks. The bear disappeared from our line of sight due to our elevation. We moved as quickly as possible over tundra to get to a knob to relocate the bear. The [bear was moving up the mountain on a small](https://outdoors-international.com/clark-small-bc-black-bear-hunt-report/) ridgeline and behind some alders. We could get glimpses of him where the alders thinned out. Cody moved us father to the left to a spot just below a ridgeline he thought the bear would travel. I pre-ranged possible shooting locations at 100, 150 and 200 yards. We were in a short stand of alders and the bear was tracking on a line above us. The bear was moving deliberately and not stopping to feed. The shot would be standing using Gunstix. It was difficult to set the Gunstix due to the tussocks. The bear passed the 100 and 150 yard sites. I set the elevation for a 200 yard shot. The last possible shot opportunity would be at 150-200 yards before the bear would be in the alders and almost in the Preserve Land and off limits. Cody was using his On-X Hunt to verify our location and the bear’s relative to the Preserve because it’s illegal to track and recover a shot bear through Preserve land. I had the reticle on the bear as it emerged from the alder patch and moved away from us up the ridgeline and headed to the next alder patch. I only had a Texas Heart shot which I was ready to take *IF* Cody told me to take it. Just before the bear angled to the right into the dense alder patch, he paused and looked to his left down the ridgeline giving me a left side quartering away shot. I took the shot behind the left front shoulder. The [rifle I was shooting](https://outdoors-international.com/best-calibers-hunting-brown-bears/) is a Blaser R8 Pro Success in 375 H&H caliber; Scope: Swarovski X5 3.5-18×50; bullet: Hornady Dangerous Game 270 grain SP-RP Superformance. The scope was set at 3.5x. I saw the bullet impact the bear. The bear “bit at the wound’, hit the ground hard, did a somersault and spun about. I took a second shot at the spinning ball of fur and it headed up the ridgeline behind the alders. Both Cody and I knew the bear was hit and hurt. Cody was worried the bear would make it into Preserve Land—resulting a fines, a negative mark on his guide license and surrendering the bear to the State of Alaska. We had to track the bear and hope it would not reach Preserve Land. We topped off our magazine and put a round in the chamber and placed the rifles on safe. We would walk side by side with rifles at the ready. We would move deliberately and vigilantly. I was responsible for our left flank and Cody for the right flank and both of us checking the rear and front. Wounded bears have been know to “J-hook” and ambush the hunters. Every few steps we stopped and Cody scanned with binoculars to see the bear better in the alders. Just as we made it to the alders were I shot the bear, Cody spotted the bear on the downward slope lying and rolling on the ground 30 yards from where I first shot the bear. We were now upwind of the bear. I trained the rifle on the bear and just as it stood up I hit it again. The bear dropped and slid forward on its belly. We approached the bear with extreme caution. I stood just to the left of the bear with my rifle trained on the bear as Cody approached from the rear of the bear to poke the rear paw pad to confirm it was dead. It was dead. Cody confirmed on his On-X the bear was NOT on Preserve Land. St Hubert, patron saint of hunters, intervened to place this bear in a position for me to stalk and shoot it. This was a long, arduous hunt. My gear was excellent. Our outfitter, in a pre-hunt phone calI said a zero degree sleeping bag would be cold and he recommended a Wiggy’s -40 degree bag. I added Wiggy’s mukluks to keep my feet warm during glassing and a Wiggy’s Parka. The best investment I ever made. I was comfortable and never cold in the 22-43 degrees of the hunt. Cody was professional and energetic and never lost hope. He was key to the success of the hunt. Persistence pays off. On the last day of my [hunt a bear](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/) seemed to materialize out of nowhere and Cody expertly maneuvered us into position to harvest a beautiful Brown Bear. **John LaBanc** / OI Client ### Outfitter Evaluation #### How was your outfitter and guide?

### [Carlos Garcia: Afognak Island Brown Bear Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/afognak-island-brown-bear-hunt-report-by-carlos-garcia/) **Published:** May 31, 2022 **Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** ### [Brown Bear Hunt on Afognak Island](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-hunting/) All around a great lodge. We will be back! From the beginning, the hunting lodge has been clear and precise with everything leading up to my [brown bear hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/). She answers your emails ALWAYS. Depending on the time zone, sometimes right away. She provides you with [everything you will need to pack](https://outdoors-international.com/brown-bear-hunting-gear-list/), where you should stay, and any extra items to bring. She will give you a great example of what to expect at her lodge. The hunting lodge is amazing. On this [Alaska brown bear you hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/) you are in the middle of pretty much no where on Afognak Island. Only a plane or a boat can get to you, yet you’d hardly realize how remote it is once you arrive. EVERYONE there is incredibly friendly and helpful. From the guides to the cooks to those that lend a hand and Shannon’s son, you can tell they enjoy what they are doing. They try everything to make you as comfortable as you want to be. Their equipment is above standard. As a matter of fact way above standard, clean, and operable at all times. We never had an issue with anything from their boats, generators, heat etc… We saw so many brown bears! They know how to help you if you can’t take tough terrain. The guides will look out for you to make sure your not injured while enjoying your hunt. [The bears are very nice](https://outdoors-international.com/largest-brown-bears/). After [field judging](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-brown-bears/) quite a few, we killed [two nice boars](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-square-a-bear-hide/). A 9 foot, 3-incher and a 8 foot, maybe-incher. Even her taxidermist is first class. They helped us out with the taxidermist, as our local ones are not as punctual as we would like. I have not met Julian from Outdoors International face to face, only via internet but I feel like I know him already. Cool dude it seems like and very knowledgeable.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Jones: Alaska Peninsula Brown Bear Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/ryan-jones/) **Published:** June 5, 2021 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** I booked a cancellation brown bear hunt on the Alaskan Peninsula with Kyle from Outdoors International and it was an amazing experience! **Content:** ### [Alaskan Peninsula Brown Bear Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-hunting/) I booked a cancellation [brown bear hunt on the Alaskan Peninsula](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/) with Kyle from Outdoors International and it was an amazing experience! We shot a 9’2” bear at 6:13am the first morning. Our [guide and outfitter](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/dall-sheep/) were awesome. We had no idea what to expect and everything went great. Alaska is very unpredictable and our outfitter worked very hard to get people on bear and provide the [best experience possible](https://outdoors-international.com/manny-reichek/). There’s not much I would change about the [experience except that I wish we could’ve hunted](https://outdoors-international.com/texas-exotics-hunting/) more but you can’t pass up a bear like that on the first morning. I’d highly recommend both our outfitter and Outdoors International with this hunt. [I will be back for the grizzly hunt in the fall](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-grizzly-bear-hunt/)! Even though it was a [cancellation hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/oi-insider/), spending this much money on a hunt and having no idea what you’re going to get is uncomfortable, but Kyle set up us with great people who offered a great hunt. **Ryan Jones** / OI Insider [ ![Alaska is very unpredictable and our outfitter worked very hard to get people on bear and provide the best experience possible.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Ryan-Jones-client-Alaska-Peninsula-Brown-Bear-hunt-AWCGS-1.jpeg "Ryan Jones client Alaska Peninsula Brown Bear hunt AWCGS » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Ryan-Jones-client-Alaska-Peninsula-Brown-Bear-hunt-AWCGS-1.jpeg) [ ![Brown Bear Hunting in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Ryan-Jones-client-Alaska-Peninsula-Brown-Bear-hunt-AWCGS-4-1.jpg "Ryan-Jones-client-Alaska-Peninsula-Brown-Bear-hunt-AWCGS-4 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Ryan-Jones-client-Alaska-Peninsula-Brown-Bear-hunt-AWCGS-4-1.jpg) [ ![No matter where you hunt them, you’ll know when you see a truly big brown bear!](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Ryan-Jones-client-Alaska-Peninsula-Brown-Bear-hunt-AWCGS-2.jpeg "Ryan-Jones-client-Alaska-Peninsula-Brown-Bear-hunt-AWCGS-2 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Ryan-Jones-client-Alaska-Peninsula-Brown-Bear-hunt-AWCGS-2.jpeg) [ ![I booked a cancellation brown bear hunt on the Alaskan Peninsula with Kyle from Outdoors International and it was an amazing experience!](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Ryan-Jones-client-Alaska-Peninsula-Brown-Bear-hunt-AWCGS-1-500x375.jpg "Ryan-Jones-client-Alaska-Peninsula-Brown-Bear-hunt-AWCGS » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Ryan-Jones-client-Alaska-Peninsula-Brown-Bear-hunt-AWCGS-1-1020x765.jpg) [ Contact us about booking a hunt ](#more-information) [ ![Kodiak Brown Bear Hunts in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Alaska-Kodiak-Brown-Bear-RE5-300x300.jpeg "Alaska Kodiak Brown Bear RE5 » Outdoors International")![Archery Kodiak Brown Bear Hunts in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Archery-Alaska-Kodiak-Brown-Bear-RE5-300x300.jpeg "Archery Alaska Kodiak Brown Bear RE5 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-hunting/) [ ![Field judging grizzly bears is notoriously difficult, and can sometimes be the hardest part of the hunt.

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

North America --- ### [Kim Frederick: Alaska Spring Brown Bear Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/spring-brown-bear-hunt-report/) **Published:** June 13, 2012 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Because of less than ideal weather conditions in Alaska, we decided to select the second spring brown bear hunt offered by our outfitter... It was a wise decision. **Content:** ### [Alaska Spring Brown Bear Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-hunting/) I’m always amazed the way the [weather plays the biggest part of any hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-late-season-bulls-in-new-mexico/)! This year, Alaska was inundated with a huge amount of snow and because of that, a late spring that just didn’t want to give up. Because of those conditions, we decided to select the second [spring brown bear hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/ "Spring brown bear hunts in Alaska") on the Alaska peninsula offered by our outfitter. It turned out to be a wise decision. Upon arriving at base camp for my [spring brown bear hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/cory-glauner-brown-bear/), we visited with the previous hunter. He had just experienced ten days of rain, snow, sleet and wind. He was soaking wet and discouraged that he had not even seen a brown bear because of the nasty spring weather. On his way into the plane he graciously expressed lots of luck to us as we began to unload our gear and get ready for our spring brown bear hunt. Later that evening we got a little glassing in as the weather had began to lift a little, and we spotted the first [bear of the hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-grizzly-bear-hunt-report-by-john-labanc/)! [He looked pretty nice](https://outdoors-international.com/largest-brown-bears/), but not quite what we were looking for. [My guide estimated that he was around 8ft](https://outdoors-international.com/eurasian-brown-bear-hunt-report/). The next three days the weather settled back in again with rain, snow and wind. [We still hunted hard](https://outdoors-international.com/brown-bear-the-ultimate-adrenaline-rush/), hiking up several streams and canyons looking for tracks and sign. With almost half of my hunt over, I was starting to get nervous when the weather cleared, we started spotting a brown bear every evening. R-E-L-I-E-F… [Finally we spotted a shooter bear!](https://outdoors-international.com/best-calibers-hunting-brown-bears/) He looked to be just over 9ft with a great big head on him. We [made the stalk](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-hunt-brown-bears/) and got within about 100 yards…. we waited awhile for him to present a shot, and when he finally turned broadside, a log jam was in the way and the old boy stepped into the willows. We were forced to back off off, hoping that he would reappear before it got to dark but it never happened. Two [days later we spotted another large bear](https://outdoors-international.com/all-day-bear-chile-recipe/). I got a shot and hit him a little low, so we had to track him for a good part of the day. Later that afternoon we finally jumped him for a finishing shot. After looking closely at the video, we determined that it was the same big brown bear we had almost gotten the previous day! **Kim Frederick** / OI Client [ Contact us about booking a hunt ](#more-information) [ ![Kodiak Brown Bear Hunts in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Alaska-Kodiak-Brown-Bear-RE5-300x300.jpeg "Alaska Kodiak Brown Bear RE5 » Outdoors International")![Archery Kodiak Brown Bear Hunts in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Archery-Alaska-Kodiak-Brown-Bear-RE5-300x300.jpeg "Archery Alaska Kodiak Brown Bear RE5 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-hunting/) [ ![Field judging grizzly bears is notoriously difficult, and can sometimes be the hardest part of the hunt.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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 Copyright 2005-2026 © Outdoors International™ · All Rights Reserved. ![NRA](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NRA-National_Rifle_Association-logo-500x489.png "NRA National_Rifle_Association logo » Outdoors International") ![Grand Slam Ovis Member](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis-500x240.png "Grand_Slam_Club_Ovis » Outdoors International") ![SCI First for Hunters](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sci-logo.jpg "sci-logo » Outdoors International") ![Pope and Young](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pope-and-young-club-logo.jpeg "pope-and-young-club-logo » Outdoors International") ![author avatar](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/OI-LOGO-condensed.png) Outdoors International Whether it’s hunting, fishing, wingshooting, or outdoor adventure travel, our goal for you is a safe, worry free, successful trip from start to finish.

Loughner: Alaska Baited Brown Bear Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/ted-loughner-hunt-report/) **Published:** June 8, 2019 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Day 5 turned into a long day, but a successful one. We sat in the stand for about 7 hours, when a really nice grizzly came in.... **Content:** ### [Alaska Brown Bear Hunt over Bait](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-hunting/) Excellent trip. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I had a great time. This hunt isn’t physically demanding, but you need to be prepared to sit on stands for a long time. The outfitter was very nice, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. It was a really good hunt, and I wouldn’t mind going back. This [brown bear hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/) started out a little rocky. A [cancelled flight to Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/10-reasons-for-travel-insurance/) caused me to be about a day late to start the trip. [**GET THE TRIP INSURANCE!**](https://outdoors-international.com/travel-insurance-hunters/) I arrived in [camp too late to hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-shaun-smith-drop-camp-moose-hunt/) the first date, but was there to meet us. I slept through the night and the next morning sighted in my gun. We started [hunting with not a lot of success](https://outdoors-international.com/nevada-chukar-hunting/) through the first five days. The other hunters in camp had more luck. Two were successful shooting nice [grizzlies](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-grizzly-bear-hunt/) the very first day. Day 5 turned into a long day, but a successful one. We sat in the stand for about 7 hours, when a really nice grizzly came in. It seemed to be as big as a truck. Luckily, I was able to drop the bear right at the bait. Overall, [it was a really good hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/jared-griffith-alaska-bear-hunt-report/). The people were helpful, nice and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure to hunt with them. Gary Colbath with Outdoors International was very helpful, courteous and always willing to go the extra mile. He was quick to respond, and helped however he could. I think, for the Alaskan trips, it’s helpful that Gary resides in Alaska. Boots on the ground information is always useful. I’m getting to the end of my hunting career, but wouldn’t hesitate to ask for his [advice and help on another trip](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-duck-hunting/). I think it was really nice that he continued to try and help after he got my deposit. I’ve had consultants get my deposit and never hear from them again. **Ted Loughner** / OI Client [ Contact us about booking a hunt ](#more-information) [ ![Kodiak Brown Bear Hunts in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Alaska-Kodiak-Brown-Bear-RE5-300x300.jpeg "Alaska Kodiak Brown Bear RE5 » Outdoors International")![Archery Kodiak Brown Bear Hunts in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Archery-Alaska-Kodiak-Brown-Bear-RE5-300x300.jpeg "Archery Alaska Kodiak Brown Bear RE5 » Outdoors International") ](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-hunting/) [ ![Field judging grizzly bears is notoriously difficult, and can sometimes be the hardest part of the hunt.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Glauner: Kodiak Island Brown Bear Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/a-bittersweet-kodiak-brown-bear-hunt/) **Published:** May 17, 2019 **Author:** Cory Glauner **Excerpt:** I knew for a fact that at any moment I would either spot a huge lump of brown bear all piled up in the stream, or possibly a speeding mass of teeth and claws would explode out of the alders. I preferred the former. **Content:** [Kodiak Island Brown Bear Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-hunting/) I’ve been back from Alaska, more specifically Kodiak Island for almost two months now, and it’s taken this long for me to process this story and how to tell it. It’s not that it was a bad hunt…it was a great hunt. An amazing experience that I had dreamt about since I was a kid. [Brown bear hunting on Kodiak Island](https://outdoors-international.com/joel-ternes/)…are you kidding me?! This crazy life of mine is great indeed, and here’s the story from my latest adventure. ## My Bittersweet Brown Bear Hunt on Kodiak Island I’ve always wanted to hunt Kodiak Island, but I didn’t really think that it would ever happen for me. Maybe for [Sitka blacktails](https://outdoors-international.com/sitka-blacktail-deer/), but not for brown bears. I had already been on a [brown bear hunt on the Peninsula](https://outdoors-international.com/cory-glauner-brown-bear/) that didn’t turn out with a big bear rug for me…but that’s another story. I just really couldn’t justify another one when there’s so much to explore in this world. Time is short and my list is long! About a year ago, we wrote an article on our blog about the statistics of [brown bear hunting in Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/) and [where the largest brown bears come from](https://outdoors-international.com/largest-brown-bears/) on average. Surprisingly, the numbers say that the biggest bears come from the Alaska Peninsula. Despite that, Kodiak Island continues to intrigue us and our hunters, and we didn’t have a vetted option for an outfitter there. Last winter we began the long [vetting process](https://outdoors-international.com/about-us/) we use to bring on new outfitters and decided that we should get a hunter there to check out their hunt. ### You have to draw a tag to hunt Kodiak, but there is an outfitter pool, so we can practically guarantee that you draw a tag, which is cool. Now, just to figure out who to send to vet it…. On these “scout hunts”, where we go on a [trip to vet an outfitter,](https://outdoors-international.com/trip-reports/) we either go on the hunts ourselves, or send trusted friends or clients. Often, these hunts are steeply discounted, but not always. ![Cory Glauner Finger cut off on brown bear hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Cory-Glauner-Finger-cut-off-on-brown-bear-hunt.jpg "» Outdoors International")My first brown bear hunt was an ordeal…an exercise in misery and excitement. Read about it [here](https://outdoors-international.com/cory-glauner-brown-bear/).For this brown bear hunt, I couldn’t justify going myself, and another Outdoors International Hunting Consultant was already committed to a hunt on the Peninsula, so we had some members who were lined up to go. We were worried that the neighboring outfitter was going to put in some of his hunters also, which would lower the odds, so we developed a plan. We wanted to [guarantee that our hunters drew a tag](https://outdoors-international.com/drawing-tags-vs-guaranteed-tags/) so that we could get this hunt vetted ASAP, and here’s where it gets complicated. Alaska lets outfitters transfer tags to another hunter prior to a certain cutoff date, so I had our scout hunters put in, and I also applied with the intent to up our odds, and transfer my tag to one of our hunters if I drew. Great plan right? ### Well…it didn’t go as planned. Murphy’s Law always rears it’s ugly head. Two of our hunters drew. Great!!! But then, they both had things come up and the had to cancel their hunt, so they declined the tag. When a hunter declines a tag, Alaska awards the tag to the next person in line. We don’t know who drew one of them (had to be one of the other outfitters hunters), and I drew the other one. We scrambled to find another hunter, but we ran out of time to get the tag transferred. We explored all of the options, but Jim and Tyler really wanted to get someone up there, so I was on my way to Kodiak Island to [hunt brown bears](https://outdoors-international.com/dennis-glatt-podcast/)! ### I had about a month to get ready, and I wanted to hunt with my bow, so I started feverishly shooting and shooting and shooting to get ready. When it came time to go in mid April, Jim called me to give me the details, and told me he had reserved a room for me in Kodiak. I flew Alaska Airlines from Boise to Anchorage. After a short layover in Anchorage, I boarded for Kodiak Island. That flight was about an hour and a half if I remember right. All of my gear arrived with me, which is always a relief, and I called the Hotel and they sent a shuttle for me. [The town of Kodiak](https://outdoors-international.com/lacey-savage-kodiak-island-king-salmon-fishing-report/) is only a few minutes from the airport. ![A big bear at the Fish and Game office in Kodiak.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Cory-Glauner-brown-bear-hunt-with-Kodiak-Guides-in-Alaska-56-1-1051x1400.jpg "Cory-Glauner-brown-bear-hunt-with-Kodiak-Guides-in-Alaska-56 » Outdoors International") I arrived fairly early in the afternoon, so I walked around town. Kodiak is pretty cool. In 1964 there was a big storm that trashed the town and I was blown away (pun intended) by the cannery story. This huge ship was actually blown up onto shore. Instead of repairing the ship and getting it back in the water, they turned it into a cannery. The next morning, a kid from [Andrew Airways](https://www.andrewairways.com/) picked me up at the Hotel lobby. He took me to the grocery store to get some stuff for Jim, and I was coming down with the flu, so I got some meds for myself. He then took me to check in at the Fish and Game office and get all of my paperwork, then they loaded my gear up in a float plane and I was on my way to camp. The flight took about 20 minutes. ### Did I mention I was coming down with the flu? The flight to camp was miserable. I barely held down breakfast, and I was worried about the next few days. My whole family had come down with it back home, and it had knocked all of them down. Other than that though, the flight was pretty cool. We flew over some pretty country. Kodiak is more mountainous than I had envisioned. The pilot was playing tour guide, pointing out points of interest and I was doing my best to act interested, thankful, and not puke in his plane. We landed in a big bay right in front of camp. Jim and Tyler were standing on the shore waiting for me. The tide was out, so it was about a 200 yard walk to the cabins. After introductions, the guys gave me the tour of camp and settled me and my gear in to my cabin. The camp consists of three acres privately owned by Jim. There are three 16X20′ cabins with oil heat and showers. This is a nice place to be on a non-hunting day, usually due to bad weather. It isn’t unusual to spot bears walking along the beach right out the cabin windows, and Jim told me that you can [catch halibut](https://outdoors-international.com/halibut/) right from camp, which would have been cool because I’ve been wanting to go [halibut fishing on Kodiak Island](https://outdoors-international.com/kodiak-island-fishing-lodge/) for a long time….[Patrick](https://outdoors-international.com/about-us/patrick-kissel/) always tells me that I have a “serious fear of missing out”. It’s true. I tried my best to be friendly but as soon as I got a chance I retreated to my bunk to try to sleep off my flu. It was around noon and I slept through to the next morning. When I woke up I didn’t feel any better. It was going to be a rough week… ### The Outfitter, was an interesting guy, and I really enjoyed meeting him. He’s one of those good people who see the good in things. Sadly, that’s a rare trait, and I wish there were more people in this world like that. He has a trove of stories from his [adventurous life](https://outdoors-international.com/we-live-for-adventure/), and he recounts them in an endearing, quirky, fragmented way that is highly entertaining. When most people tell stories, I have to act interested, and on the inside I’m rolling my eyes because I can tell they are stretching the truth of how it was, but with Jim, you can just tell that he has been there done that. No matter how crazy the story…it happened just how he said. ![Jim Bailey with a 10′ 9″ brown bear taken by one of his hunters.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jim-with-bear-600x903-1.jpg "Jim Bailey » Outdoors International")He had stories of giant bears, scorpions, rodents, plane crashes, the remote Alaska cabin he’s building for his wife Bonnie…his list of crazy [Alaska experiences](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-wilderness-adventures/) goes on and on. A life well [lived and full of adventures](https://outdoors-international.com/we-live-for-adventure/). He has lived like he means it, and he continues to do so. He has been in Alaska since late 1960’s. He is from Arizona. He owned a fly-in hunting/[fishing lodge](https://outdoors-international.com/fishing-trips/) in Interior Alaska for over 40 years. He has been a [hunting guide](https://outdoors-international.com/the-bucket-list/) for over 45 years. A little about Jim himself, He has a commercial pilot’s license, holds an Alaska Master Guide License #88, and holds a 100-ton Master Marine Coast Guard License. He is an ex paratrooper with the 101st Airborne, Ex Master Sergeant with Alaska Air National Guard, and was featured in a SCI film on taking a bear with a handgun shown on ESPN. Also, he was featured on an [ESPN film on hunting a Kodiak Brown Bear](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jt-Q_JBUcf0) entitled “Cub Killer.” There are several articles, videos and books featuring Jim. ## It’s time to hunt brown bears! ### It’s either a short boat ride or a half hour hike up the beach to get off of the reservation and onto public ground where we could start hunting. You do have the option of purchasing a Native Lands permit, but I chose to save my money and just hunt public. Tyler and I donned our backpacks and headed up the beach. You have to time it right so that you go and come back at low tide, which makes the start time in the morning somewhat variable. We had to time the tide right so we could get past this part of the beach on the way back to camp. Luckily for me, the hike is for the most part flat, because I was SICK. Like really sick….but I could put my head down and plod along behind Tyler. He probably thought I was a weak ass, but I didn’t complain…I don’t think. It was pretty cool walking along the beach though, there were tons of sea otters, harbor seals and the occasional pod of Killer whales. We also saw a few[ “cross-phase” red foxes](https://outdoors-international.com/mountain-goat-and-sitka-blacktail-deer-hunt-report-by-patrick-kissel/) and some [blacktail deer](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/blacktail-deer/). ![We had to time the tide right so we could get past this part of the beach on the way back to camp.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Cory-Glauner-brown-bear-hunt-with-Kodiak-Guides-in-Alaska-30-600x800-1.jpg "Cory-Glauner-brown-bear-hunt-with-Kodiak-Guides-in-Alaska-30-600x800 » Outdoors International")We had to time the tide right so we could get past this part of the beach on the way back to camp.I was torn about seeing a brown bear down on the beach. It would have really sucked to see a big boar down there browsing the beach and not be able to stalk it…but on the other hand, [any day you see a big brown bear is a good day](https://outdoors-international.com/new-world-record-brown-bear/). Do you see my dilemma?! Well…we never did see a [bear on the beach](https://outdoors-international.com/brown-bear-the-ultimate-adrenaline-rush/), and now, looking back why was I torn? It would have been awesome. Once you’re off the beach, you hike up the river bottom which is a wide, fairly flat gravel bed. Easy walking, but you have to wear waders because you have to wade the river about six or seven times on the way to the little glassing hills. There are five of them, aptly named “Hill One, Two, Three, Four and Five”. Over the course of the week we hunted Hill One, Hill Two and Hill Three. Brown bear hunting is a game of [glassing](https://outdoors-international.com/4-reasons-everyone-should-book-a-hunt/). What you do is sit down, get comfortable, and glass…and glass…and glass some more. We set our bar at a 9 foot or bigger boar, and every day we saw a few bears that didn’t quite meet that criteria. I was surprised though at how big an eight footer is. An eight foot brown bear is impressive. And tempting. ![In the early spring, you will be looking for bears coming out of their dens. Often they will emerge, do some exploring and return again to the den, leaving tracks in the snow. Finding those tracks is fairly easy if you have good glass, but then it’s a long hike in the snowshoes and you hope the bear is still there.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Cory-Glauner-brown-bear-hunt-with-Kodiak-Guides-in-Alaska.jpg "Cory-Glauner-brown-bear-hunt-with-Kodiak-Guides-in-Alaska » Outdoors International")In the early spring, you will be looking for bears coming out of their dens. Often they will emerge, do some exploring and return again to the den, leaving tracks in the snow. Finding those tracks is fairly easy if you have good glass, but then it’s a long hike in the snowshoes and you hope the bear is still there.## Time for a reality check. ### On day three, I had to get real with myself. I was still feeling awful and my energy level was extremely low. If I would have been home I would have been laying in bed. I have to be pretty sick to lay in bed. On top of that, every bear that we had seen was moving fast. They weren’t sticking around at all, nor was the terrain conducive to bowhunting, so [stalking a brown bear with my bow](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-hunt-brown-bears/) was going to be tough. Call it an excuse, but after the fourth day of hunting, I chose to put down the bow and pick up one of Jim’s rifles. I know Russ is probably disappointed in me ([he has hunted brown bows with his trad bow](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-with-a-recurve/)), but don’t feel guilty about it and stand by the decision. ## Game Time! ### Day six was the day. We hiked in to Hill Four…well, Tyler hiked. I lumbered. It was a sunny day, which was nice because the previous two days were cold and snowy. I settled in on the hill, cuddled up against my [EXO pack](https://outdoors-international.com/backpacking-gear-list/) and started the tedious process of picking the mountains apart with my glass. At around 9AM Tyler spotted what I thought was a shooter, but he thought it was only about 8 1/2 feet. Crap! Not quite. I must admit that I was a bit disappointed, and my standards were going down daily. I felt terrible, and keeping a positive mental attitude was difficult. We watched the bear quickly feed his way up the mountain, and I noticed that he was acting nervous and kept looking back the way it had come. I told Tyler, *“I bet there’s another, bigger bear coming behind him. Check out how he’s acting.”* Tyler agreed and we glassed the area he had first appeared. Ten minutes later, Tyler spotted him. *“There’s a bear. It’s a pretty good one…I’d say over nine feet.”* To which I responded, *“let’s go kill him!”.* The stalk was pretty easy and we were at 250 yards in just a few minutes. The boar was slowly feeding across a small canyon from us, and I had a solid rest on an alder tree. Tyler was prone, resting his rifle on his backpack. He looked over and gave me the thumbs up, and **I HAMMERED that bear**. I watched his hide ripple as the .375 bullet slammed into his vitals. He spun and I shot again. I can’t remember this shot clearly, but Tyler said I hit him good. Then Tyler hit him good and rocked him. At this point he was running slowly quartering slightly towards us, going for the canyon in between us and him. I got one more shot at him on the run and knocked him off of his feet just as he went over the edge and out of sight. YES! ## Now to find a wounded brown bear… ### I was excited, and at the same time felt awful. It was a weird feeling. We waited about 45 minutes to see if he came up out of the canyon. He didn’t. It was a small cut in the side of the mountain and we would have seen him if he came out. We climbed up above it where we could get a better field of view and picked it apart with the glass. Nothing. It was almost dark, so we were going to have to come back in the morning. ### That night was a long one. We stayed in a tent so that we could be back to find the bear as early as possible. I had chills, I was nauseous, I was worried about finding the bear, etc. The next morning was super cold…maybe it just felt super cold because I was chilled from the flu, but my waders were frozen and I couldn’t get them on, so I had to barefoot it down to the river and soak them to thaw them out. ### Sneaking up this stream following a wounded brown bear isn’t for the faint of heart. We hiked back up to the little canyon and to where he had bailed off into the edge and I expected to see him piled up right there. Nothing. No blood. No tracks. Too many rocks. We walked around the entire canyon to see if we could find any tracks or blood in the snow coming out of there. Nothing. He was still in there, and we had to go in blind. ![Sneaking up this stream following a wounded brown bear isn’t for the faint of heart.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Cory-Glauner-brown-bear-hunt-with-Kodiak-Guides-in-Alaska-2-600x800-1.jpg "Cory-Glauner-brown-bear-hunt-with-Kodiak-Guides-in-Alaska-2-600x800 » Outdoors International")Sneaking up this stream following a wounded brown bear isn’t for the faint of heart.We dropped down to the bottom of the canyon and started sneaking up the stream with our eyes peeled. The canyon was about 100 feet deep and narrow, strewn with huge boulders and choked with alders. The stream at the bottom was about four feet wide and strewn with big boulders. Not the ideal situation. I knew for a fact that at any moment **I would either spot a huge lump of brown bear all piled up in the stream, or possibly a speeding mass of teeth and claws would explode out of the alders.** I preferred the former. By a fairly large margin. I think Tyler agreed. We slowly, tediously worked our way all the way up the canyon to where it basically cliffed out. Nothing. No tracks. No blood. Nothing. I was beginning to feel nervous that we wouldn’t find him. But how could that be? I hit him good three times with a .375 and Tyler hit him once with his. Can a bear live through that?! The story goes downhill from here. We couldn’t recover the bear. We tracked him to where he crawled up into a boulder pile and died. There was no way to get him out… we tried for days. It was, and still is a terrible feeling. I really can’t believe that we lost him…That’s why it’s taken me two months to process it and write this post.

experience. ### I don’t really know how to wrap this up. When we got back to camp, I was feeling pretty down and beat up. Still sick and heartbroken. It sucked. Supper was kind of melancholy, and Jim told a story of his personal brown bear that he shot years ago. He had the exact same thing happen. He knows he hit a big boar really well, and lost it. He never hunted them again for himself. He considered that “his bear”. I respect that, and it didn’t necessarily make me happy to hear his story, but it was comforting that it had happened to someone else and I wasn’t getting judged. The next morning we called in a plane and I headed home. That’s it. End of story. Wish it was better. PS – During the last two months I have been asked multiple times if I would hunt again with Jim. They assume that since I didn’t bring home a [bear that it was a bad hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/spring-brown-bear-hunt-report/). Not the case. Jim and Tyler run an amazing hunt in an incredible area.

[Russ Meyer: Alaska Archery Brown Bear Hunting Podcast](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-with-a-recurve/) **Published:** June 13, 2018 **Author:** Outdoors International **Content:** Russ Meyer just returned from hosting an Alaska hunt with his client, [Jared Griffith](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-new-mexico-elk/). They were there to vet a new outfitter and to hunt [brown bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/) over bait. Russ chose to hunt with his recurve. They saw a ton of bears both [black bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/) and brownies. You can [read Jared’s hunt report here.](https://outdoors-international.com/jared-griffith-alaska-bear-hunt-report/) ## This baited bear hunt has an incredible success rate. With near 100% for this [Alaska combo bear hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-hunting/) you can get the best of both worlds with [Alaska black bears](https://outdoors-international.com/black-bear-hunts-in-alaska/) in [all different color phases](https://outdoors-international.com/color-phase-black-bears/), and [brown bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/) with chocolate to almost a white colored fur. The schedule is also what sets this hunt aside. Wake up late as you will be hunting almost until midnight most nights. After you wake up enjoy some Sockeye [salmon fishing](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-wilderness-fishing-excursion/) before you hit the stands for the rest of the day.

The outfitter says that this has been one of their most reliable experiences over the last five years. **All hunters that went for brown bear and black bear had shots!** All hunters that wanted to harvest a black bear had the opportunity to harvest last year. Among those bears were several [beautiful color-phase bears](https://outdoors-international.com/andrew-hickey/). This outfitter had about 30 baits and about 200 black [bears and 80 brown](https://outdoors-international.com/brown-bear-subspecies/) bears that were visiting these baits. - Hunt [brown bear](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/) AND black bear over bait. - Success rates for brown bears are very high, with most hunters getting shot opportunities. - Success for black bears has been 100% opportunity! - [Brown bears can square up to 9 feet with skulls that measure 26″](https://outdoors-international.com/largest-brown-bears/) but 7-8 ft is average. - Hunts are for 10 days with the 11th day saved for travel out of the cabin. - Enjoy[ fishing for Sockeye Salmon](https://outdoors-international.com/best-places-to-go-salmon-fishing/) during the day.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

My most favorite or ultimate until this year, the [bugle of a big bull elk](https://outdoors-international.com/idaho-elk-hunting/) so close you are nearly face to face and your ears are ringing from the harmonics when he finishes. I had goosebumps all over my body with each encounter and legs that were shaking uncontrollable like wet spaghetti noodles from the encounters. I’m sure some of you have been here before, some of you want to be, and some of us pray for it each year. All I can say is, be careful what you wish for! [This Alaskan brown bear hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/scott-penman/) was a thrill to say the least! Nothing, I mean nothing could prepare me for what I was about to experience except for experience an [Alaskan brown bear hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/) itself. I’ve had [black bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/black-bear/ "Black bear hunting Outfitters") woof at me and then run away, javelina snapping their jaws and aggressively advance in my direction with stick and string in hand. [Bull elk coming in hard](https://outdoors-international.com/bedroom-bugles/), running past me searching intently for the source of that last wild cry and tearing the tops off trees as they whipped their heads back and forth. At 20-25 yards I could finally see the bruin clearly, mouth open, teeth exposed,…. Otto yelled, “Shooooootttt” and I shouldered my 7 mag and pulled the trigger, “Crack” went the centerfire, I loaded again and pulled the trigger again, the 7 mag barked again and his forward progress was slowed quite a bit. Imagine an 800 pound, 8 ½ft tall 4ft+ wide mass charging as fast as it can your way, mowing down everything in its path. Pieces of tree moss flying in the air in the wake of its path. Then imagine him appearing all of a sudden at 30 yards away at full tilt plowing through the green and yellow moss covered grounds of the Southeastern Alaskan rainforest busting down everything in its path. That’s what this brief hunt was all about for me.

I wonder how this country could have so much snow and also a rainforest-like ecosystem. Moss covers everything in SE Alaska and the Prince William Sound![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=16735d0880874983d928b29979b48ecc&_cb=1551446382800) from the pebbles to the treetops in some areas. [Valdez, Alaska](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-yahsti-perkins-mountain-goat/) has seemingly become my second home as I can’t get enough of the 5,000 ft peaks that rise from the ocean waves to the heavens. In summer, it’s incredibly green from the salt (ocean) to the snow capped peaks and glaciers that surrounds this town of historic proportion. In winter, they average 30-50 feet of snowfall each year. Remind me not to go there in January! When there I find myself unable to control my shutter finger, you can’t take enough pictures, no matter what time you may arrive. The outfitter seemed to be my kind of guy, low key, knowledgeable of the areas he hunts, and guides very successfully for [Dall sheep](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-dall-sheep-hunt/) and [mountain goat](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-mountain-goat-hunt/)! [My next dream hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/top-5-dream-hunts/)! Might as well try a guy out before you go full bore right? Like most of you I experienced the doldrums’ of the April draw results after finding out you didn’t draw in any state you applied to…. for anything! Well this was my year for that and I guess it was my time as I had drawn a couple years in a row for [bull elk here in Arizona](https://outdoors-international.com/arizona-elk-units/) and harvested one nice bull with the bow that we called in very very close. So I guess my misfortune at the draw this year in the lower 48 turned out to be good fortune for me and a ticket to a [hunt of 2 lifetimes](https://outdoors-international.com/black-bear-of-a-lifetime/) if I get out of here alive. I’d kept in touch with Otto over the winter and tried to meet up with him at one of the western [big game](https://outdoors-international.com/super-slam-of-north-american-big-game/) shows in SLC and then Vegas but our work paths were set on different bearings and thus never crossed. Otto sent me and his other clients the same sad news about the [Alaskan Dall Sheep draw](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/ovis/dall-sheep/) like I had heard a few weeks before in the lower 48. NaDa! He did mention that he [had a spot open up on his Alaskan brown bear hunt due to a late cancellation](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-dall-sheep-brown-bear-combo-hunt-report-by-ray-rupel/) and offered me the hunt. My schedule was too busy to schedule a [hunt of this caliber](https://outdoors-international.com/best-caliber-hunting-cape-buffalo/) right away I figured, but my interest was peaked and I told him would get back to him in a week and to keep me at the top of his list just in case. I called Otto the following week to see if he had filled the tag yet as my schedule broke free the week before the hunt, and he still said, “*No*”, and the tag was still mine for the taking. I happily told him I was “*IN*”! Man that felt good!! We worked out the details and I got reservations to arrive in Valdez on the 30th of April. We weren’t alone on the hunt as new friend Ken Lodge from [Minnesota](https://outdoors-international.com/biggest-black-bears/) was also coming along with high hopes as well. We met in the airport in Anchorage and we swapped stories, talked about the previous year and what we might expect to run into this year as far as bears, obstacles, etc for the next 10 days! In an hour we were in my second home surrounded by snow covered peaks reaching from “The Salt” to the blue skies on the north slopes to the melting southern exposures giving way to brown leafless willows and dirt. A good sign the [bears should be coming out of hibernation](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-hunt-brown-bears/)! Within and hour or two we were off to the range to ensure our weapons were not miss-handled on the trip over. We watched each other shoot as 6 or 8 [mountain goats](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/goats/mountain-goat/) fed all over the slopes behind the gun range (500-700 yds) on the hill side. A die hard bow hunter by heart I didn’t feel I had the time needed in a week to feel confident in shooting 50-60 yds consistently with the 350 gr carbons. A distance I figured was “*close enough*” for a brown bear, a really [big bear, a really big mean bear](https://outdoors-international.com/180-grains-ouch/) if the occasion occurred. So,…. [I chose to bring my Model 70 7mm Mag](https://outdoors-international.com/best-calibers-hunting-brown-bears/). Topped with a Huskema 5x–20x![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=da4f81fde2818d211b48ff499aed6108&_cb=1551446771070) I felt anything under 600 yds is fair game with this setup for me! (Sorry dad!) [We watched a couple black bears](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-with-a-recurve/) just out of town rummaging the slopes for food and water the next day since we were delayed a day getting out. This started to get our hopes up and we figured was a good omen for the beginning of the hunt. A small brown bear was also seen by one of the guides near his residence on the way home not too far from the airport, another good sign. Montague Island![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=68e02400e1ed8d5579c9ef30b865a28f&_cb=1551446823860) was to be our destination for a [10 day brown bear hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/new-world-record-brown-bear/ "Brown bear hunt with Pacific Mountain Guides"). At the inlet to the Prince William Sound it’s the 1st thing the waves hit coming in from the East. The Eskimos![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=bcfab2a9ad636dfcbd5d0e96f9d8c1b0&_cb=1551446870380) that used to inhabit the island referred to this island as Sukluk or “Terrible Island”, but not because of the bears but the SE exposure and the terrible seas that constantly pounded the surf in the winter. It is also referred to as “Land of the Giants![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=751745fc04ce2ec2b66f3da9778d6a25&_cb=1551446894898)” by many that fish the area by boat as numerous [huge lingcod and giant halibut](https://outdoors-international.com/haida-gwaii-fishing-lodge/) are caught just off the coast. We were also told that the island is where the Alaskan G&F takes problem bears from the mainland, [Kodiak](https://outdoors-international.com/a-bittersweet-kodiak-brown-bear-hunt/) or any other inhabited area. Hummm…… do you see a pattern here? Or the making of a good old horror show? (Terribly Giant bears?) No matter what the explanation it was embedded in our minds made for a restless night’s sleep. A day late getting out of Valdez, due to scheduling conflicts with the bush pilot Otto and Pete (Ken’s Guide) were off in the small Cessna 209 headed for a strip of beach on Montague Island about 40 minutes away. Ken and I arrived on the 2nd flight about 11 am and began helping hike the gear into camp with Otto and Pete. We had to get all our gear off the beach over the flotilla of washed up timbers that lined the stormy high tide line in the area. This took about an hour although not very far it took a few trips up and over each set of logs. We spent the evening getting camp organized and then Otto and I spent a few hours glassing from camp hoping to spot our prey and then [make a plan for the morning stalk](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-hunt-brown-bears/) till dinner called. A big meal of Mountain House Chicken & Noodles![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=bc101d981af6dcdf7bf5fde880733918&_cb=1551447196537) and then a little more glassing and it was time to tuck it in for the night. Snow level was about ½ way up the 2,500 ft peaks so we really figured we’d see some bears in the snow. No [brown bears](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/) seen in this interesting snow covered mountain country this night. So we zipped up our tents and prepared for the usual restless night’s sleep before opening day. After a pretty rough night of sleep because of the eminent opening day and some very loud snoring in my tent……. I wasn’t really awake as I scarfed down some Mountain House eggs![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=08711f11a2a84c2d258493ec852ccff4&_cb=1551447234130) and moose sausage! Umm Yum Yum! We had some discussions at breakfast, a few minutes glassing of the open slopes and since we didn’t see anything this am or the night before we would get some elevation and head up behind camp and find a good spot to glass on day 1. Pete and Ken would head up the beach and see what they could see. Otto and I ran into the typical Alaska terrain right from the get-go 50 yards from camp crossing through a slough of mud and swamp water moss. Once through this and the willows we needed to get through a 50 or 60 yard section of pines and break out into some clear cut timber area open enough to glass a large section of the country. The [willows were a real bugger](https://outdoors-international.com/world-record-mountain-goat/), mother nature must have planted them about 4 inches apart as we slapped each other in the face pushing ourselves and packs around trying to get through to the trees that we could see not far ahead. Once out of the willow slapping we emerged into a moss covered tropical rainforest and a very nice black dirt trail 10-12” wide. There was a carpet of yellow and green moss, spongy as anything I’ve ever stepped on that grew everywhere up into the bushes and on to the trees 10 ft from the ground. It was like a totally different ecosystem in 10 yards! I remember telling my guide there must be a bunch of [blacktail deer](https://outdoors-international.com/sitka-blacktail-deer/) and bear around to make a trail like this. [Montague](https://outdoors-international.com/largest-brown-bears/) is I think the largest uninhabited island in N. America. Uninhabited I think since this is where they put or transport all the problem bears from the mainland as we found out the day before we left. As we proceeded up the trail I could hear eagles cackling above us, probably perturbed we were in there area I thought, “*A nest maybe close by*”, I thought? We had it made now, a nice trail and we’ll be through to the clear cut in no time. We followed the trail about 30 yards when all of a sudden a very loud “WOOF” was heard in front of us on the trail. Otto said, “*Bear, Bear!*” We both dropped to our knees. All I could see was a dark, very large animal moving from left to right about 25-30 yards in front of us and disappearing 30-40 yards away into the brush. We both chambered rounds into our guns nervously as the crashing ensued in front of us but out of direct view. It all happened in seconds as the bear took 4 or 5 bounds quartering away from us and out of sight on the 2nd or third crash. I looked at Otto for 2-3 seconds when we heard another loud “Woof” and chomping jaws wildly. The brush in front of us was busting and crashing but we couldn’t see anything for sure. Seconds later here he came, materializing out of the moss covered grounds at full tilt straight at us! Trees were pushing aside and the green moss was flying all over. At 20-25 yards I could finally see the bruin clearly, mouth open, teeth exposed,…. Otto yelled, “*Shooooootttt*” and I shouldered my 7 mag and pulled the trigger, *“Crack!”* went the centerfire, I loaded again and pulled the trigger again, the 7 mag barked again and his forward progress was slowed quite a bit. A second or two after my report Otto finally squeezed one off from his 375 Ruger and the 300 grain solid finally stopped his forward progress at 10 yards! Looking at each other in disbelief I watched as Otto’s eyes opened wider and wider and wider…… Looking back towards the bear in slow motion he started to stand! Geezzz we couldn’t believe it. I grabbed a couple more rounds from my butt stock and loaded the 1st one in fumbling the 2nd to the mossy floor. Chambering the one round I shouldering my 7 mag and I searched for that *“behind the front leg shot”*, but it wasn’t there. Otto exclaimed again, “*Shooot, Shooot*”. **The bear was really pissed off and roaring and growling like an African lion trying to get to his feet.** All we had was his frontal area and he was tucked behind a couple trees pretty good. I placed another round just in front of his shoulder and he went down once again. We both stood in amazement again looking at each other and wondering how in the world this beast could take so much punishment. I shot three [7mm rounds topped with 180 grain Bergers](https://outdoors-international.com/best-calibers-hunting-brown-bears/) and one of Otto’s 375 300 grain solids all put to him at less than 25 yards! A few more seconds passed and I think Otto was digging for his video camera and I was ejecting the last round reloading a couple more from the butt stock ammo belt into the action when peripherally I saw more movement from the big bruin. “*Crap, Wholly Molly, here we go again now what*” I was thinking, “*Here he comes again?!?!!*”. In a few seconds he was trying to stand once again and I searched for another spot to put him down and out. Otto said to try to wait until he comes across the trail if possible. As he was trying once again to stand his front legs buckled and his hind end plowed the rest of him through bush and trees until he came across the trail we were on 25 yards ahead. “*Finally a shot at the vitals*”, I said to myself. I squeezed one last round from my knees aiming through both shoulders and it appeared the bruin was finally out of gas. I remember looking over at Otto and smiling and kind of waiting for his eyes to get big again. [All I saw was a big smile, and his camera running I think](https://outdoors-international.com/cory-glauner-brown-bear/), and I put my right hand out to say thanks! I sat back on my haunches and Otto filmed a little as I brushed off my forehead and sat there for a collective minute. I remember thinking I couldn’t have imagined getting more than one shot off with my bow if I’d had it and I’m sure it wouldn’t of stopped his forward momentum one ONE-I-O-DA. This dude was coming in for breakfast and we were on his menu and he didn’t care what was in his way. After 5 minutes or so and he stopped growling I made my way up to him 25 yards away ever watchful of any movement. I saw none but none-the-less I was very nervous upon my approach. [No ground shrinkage here](https://outdoors-international.com/field-judging-black-bears/) as I tossed a branch his way and still no movement, kicked his feet and still no movement. Yea he was finally down! Sitting back down on the mossy carpet 10 ft away I could do nothing but shake Otto’s hand again and my head. I stood there in utter amazement at the sheer size of this critter that wanted me/us for an appetizer I’m sure. He has battle scars all over him from old ones on his back to fresh puncture marks on his hind end by another , “Bigger” bear? This big boy was a scrapper for sure! Then I started thinking about the bear that had bit him and started looking around cautiously as the sun broke out for the day! “*Oh Crap, now we got to be weary for another bear?*” “*Maybe that’s why he was so pissed off?*” I thought. We sat there for another 10 minutes thanking god we were still on this earth and for providing for us, in a little unconventional way, our bounty. It took both of us all we had to roll him around for pictures and the skinning job. Holy cow, what a job you think an elk is tough! We packed the head and full cape into Otto’s extremely large backpack. All his stuff and mine went into or on my pack. It was pretty much all we could do to get Otto up off the [ground yesterday with that bear](https://outdoors-international.com/barren-ground-grizzly-bear/) hide in his pack and we felt happy we didn’t have to go too far to camp initially. We didn’t know if Otto would make it a mile if it had been that far with that pack! Honestly I can’t remember if I had the *“Chills of adrenalin”* or goose bumps I mentioned earlier in the story yesterday or not during this encounter. But I’ve had them 3 or 4 times since sitting in camp skinning out the bruin when anything or anyone broke the silence just inside the tree line or walked up on me from behind on the carpet of moss! See, we killed this bear 2-300 yards from camp. I’m hoping Mr. Lodge fills his tag quickly just in case the bear that bit mine is lurking in the forest nearby! A Few Facts: 1. We taped him out in the field at 8.5’ long and 9.5’ toe to toe which would square him at roughly 9 ft. 2. We figured he’d go about 800 lbs total wt. 3. We field measured the skull at 16 4/8 by 11 0/8 for a total of 27 4/8. The taxidermist in Anchorage [measured the skull at 27 0/8 and rough aged the bear](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-measure-a-bear-skull/) at 21. We’ll see when the AK Game and Fish looks at the tooth we pulled. 4. Front pads were 7 ½”, rear were 9” 5. 3 teeth missing and one canine broken. Maybe that’s why he was so pissed! P.S. The day I flew out 3 days after the bruin went down Mr. Lodge shot a beautiful 6-7 ft bear! Congratulations Ken for finally making that last milestone!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Kinyon: Croatia Brown Bear Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/eurasian-brown-bear-hunt-report/) **Published:** September 21, 2017 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** Unbelievable one day hunt. I thank Mat Cervantes for putting me on another awesome European hunt. I’ve been on two European hunting trips with Outdoor International and have harvested 2 Gold and 2 Silver Medal animals. **Content:** ### [Eurasian Brown Bear Combo Hunt in Croatia](https://outdoors-international.com/brown-bear-hunting-in-croatia/) Unbelievable one day hunt! The outfitter was very organized with great equipment and knowledge. I thank Outdoors International for putting me on [another awesome European hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/europe/). I’ve been on two European hunting trips with *Outdoors International* and have [harvested two Gold and two Silver Medal animals](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-jason-kinyon-croatia/). Great results. Arrived at a nice hotel with an excellent restaurant in a small mountain town in Croatia by a lake. We had a nice lunch then got ready to head out for the evening hunt. We arrived at a meet location in a small village. There we left with a local forestry official who would act as my guide for the [brown bear hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/). We then drove to a cabin in the forest. We set up in an elevated hunting blind![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=6da9ff24577e82b6379d78cab799450f&_cb=1567033305455) overlooking a bait site and settled in. At dusk [bears started to come to the bait](https://outdoors-international.com/booking-a-baited-bear-hunt/). In 30 minutes we had three [large brown bears feeding](https://outdoors-international.com/alaska-brown-bear-with-a-recurve/) within 30 meters. My [guide evaluated them and picked the bear](https://outdoors-international.com/todd-mulholland-guided-grizzly-bear-caribou-combo-hunt/) that fit my budget. I then waited for the right moment and touched off the shot harvesting a 330 [SCI Gold Medal](https://outdoors-international.com/croatian-brown-bear-hunt-report/) [Eurasian brown bear](https://outdoors-international.com/eurasian-brown-bears/). I will be booking again. I’ve been on two European hunting trips with *Outdoors International* and have [harvested 2 Gold and 2 Silver Medal animals](https://outdoors-international.com/bezoar-ibex-hunt-report/).

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

Croatia Brown Bear Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/croatian-brown-bear-hunt-report/) **Published:** April 5, 2015 **Author:** Outdoors International **Excerpt:** I hunted Bear, Moufflon and Sheep on this trip and all phases were well organized and a lot of fun. The outfitter had everything in order and our guides knew what they were doing and how they were going to get me on game. The trip was a lot of fun and I'd highly recommend it. **Content:** ### [Croatia Eurasian Brown Bear Combo Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/brown-bear-hunting-in-croatia/) The trip to Europe all together was excellent and I’d recommend it to anyone. Our first [European hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/destinations/europe/) was for [Eurasian brown bear](https://outdoors-international.com/eurasian-brown-bears/) and I was surprised to learn that it was a night hunt using night vision scopes![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=b56458d6cceeacc5b6280c57609dac7d&_cb=1567032717372) and binos![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=70d11aef454f90621589cc5f39b5738e&_cb=1567032732804). My guide was a professional and he had done lots of scouting preparing for my visit and had identified a [trophy bear](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-jason-kinyon-croatia/) that we would go after. The first night we sat in a 5×10 well constructed permanent hunting stand![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=323e6078ef428d39b7f476a10d976ce3&_cb=1567032775384) with chairs and a padded bed to rest on. We [hunted over a bait pile](https://outdoors-international.com/jared-griffith-alaska-bear-hunt-report/) and we sat for about six hours. We saw several bears but none were what I wanted. The next night my guide moved us to a new stand location because he had been checking trail cameras![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=7f2cf9eb85053b370cfc017a076c6c5f&_cb=1550269093960) and saw the big bear had come into the new stand the night before. We got in the stand about 6:00 pm and just after dark an hour later the bear came out and after some discussions between my guide and I as to whether this was the [brown bear](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/bears-of-the-world/brown-bear/) we were hunting I pulled the trigger and harvested a [432 CIC monster](https://outdoors-international.com/scoring-guide-for-european-trophy-big-game-animals-weight-based-scoring-explained-and-compared-to-north-american-scoring-systems/). Within 15 minutes of me pulling the trigger word had got out. A group of about ten 10 Croatian locals arrived at the hunt site to congratulate me and salute the hunt. The evening was filled with toasts and fun with people I had never met all taking part in the celebration. I’ve never seen anything like it and was amazed at the [spirit of the locals](https://outdoors-international.com/diy-fly-fishing-report-ambergris-caye-belize/). My Eurasian brown bear was taken care of by my guide carefully and I left for my next hunt the next day. Mouflon Sheep were next! A day later I was on the [Croatian coast hunting mouflon](https://outdoors-international.com/mouflon-sheep-hunting-in-croatia/). We were hunting right on the Adriatic Sea and the views were amazing. The first morning my guide and his spotter found some mouflon moving along with hillside and we made our way on foot to cut them off and see what was there. The terrain is some of the worst I have ever hunted in. The rock is jagged chunks of stone with no flat terrain. It’s mainly hilly terrain but very difficult to hunt in. We found a rock perch on top of a hill overlooking the sea and watched as about 30 mouflon rams worked their way along with hillside below us. [My guide was very experienced](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-jason-kinyon-croatia/) and found the largest mouflon ram in the group. After about 90 minutes of careful adjustments I was given a shot opportunity at 325 yards and knocked the ram down. After a long descent down the mountain we took photos and my guide and his spotter took careful care of my trophy and I was all done. I was able to spend an extra day on the coast enjoying the weather and the sights before my next hunt for [fallow deer](https://outdoors-international.com/croatia-fallow-deer-hunt/). Next up, Fallow Deer and Dalmatian Wild Sheep. The last hunt was on a private island full of feral sheep, fallow deer and [Dalmatian rams](https://outdoors-international.com/free-range-dalmatian-sheep-hunt-in-croatia/). We stayed in a very old stone caretakers house that had been on the island for many years. It was very quiet and peaceful with 360 degree views of the Adriatic sea all around you. The [sheep hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/ovis/) wasn’t difficult with there being tons of them spread throughout. My guide and I hunted for about one hour before settling on a nice sheep. The [fallow deer hunting on the Island of Plavnik](https://outdoors-international.com/croatia-fallow-deer-hunt/) was incredibly fun!

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.

(Ovis) --- ### [Justin Sparks: New Mexico Late Season Elk Hunt Report](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-late-season-bulls-in-new-mexico/) **Published:** January 20, 2014 **Author:** Cory Glauner **Excerpt:** Cory Glauner and Justin Sparks of Kryptek were invited to New Mexico to check out a new potential elk hunting outfitter. **Content:** [New Mexico Elk Hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/new-mexico-trophy-elk-hunts/) January, 2014 Justin Sparks from Kryptek and I were invited to go [elk hunting in New Mexico](https://outdoors-international.com/new-mexico-trophy-elk-hunts/) to check out a new potential [elk hunting outfitter](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting-trips/big-game/international-deer/elk/). Problem was, we had just a weeks notice, and [I had just gotten back from a red stag hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/north-american-red-stag/). Luckily, I’m a spur-of-the-moment guy, and it didn’t conflict with any [family activities](https://outdoors-international.com/the-perfect-family-vacation/) for Justin either, so we said “sure” (of course we did, we’re not stupid). Both Justin and I were able to [skip the New Mexico elk draw](https://outdoors-international.com/how-to-increase-your-new-mexico-nonresident-elk-draw-odds/) and would have [New Mexico landowner tags](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/landowner-tags/), and we would be hunting for bulls topping out at around 300″ on average. Sounded fun to me! ![Kryptek dipped rifle.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Kryptek-dipped-Weatherby.jpg "Kryptek-dipped-Weatherby rifle » Outdoors International")We showed up at the Albuquerque airport after only minimum problems with a rifle case we borrowed from the guys over at Kryptek.We’re all bowhunters and nobody had a rifle case![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=outdoorsinternational-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=66760210e58673950b1a6f8df230d405&_cb=1597159134390)…. the lock didn’t work and we almost couldn’t check in our gun. No biggie. Anyways, we fixed the lock on the spot with some super glue, duct tape and a little ingenuity and all was good. The outfitter was there to greet us, check us into the hotel, get our [landowner tags](https://outdoors-international.com/drawing-tags-vs-guaranteed-tags/), licenses and some dinner. He doesn’t offer [lodging or food with his hunts,](https://outdoors-international.com/texas-duck-hunting-lodge/) just guiding and access to a lot of AWESOME private land, which keeps his prices very affordable. This time of year, this outfitter usually only hunts elk as an add-on to his [mountain lion hunts](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/mountain-lion/), which would be a super fun way to hunt because you could be elk hunting while the [guides are out looking for lion tracks](https://outdoors-international.com/wyoming-mountain-lion/)…. but we were here to check out the elk hunting on this trip, so no lions for us. The [ranch we were hunting](https://outdoors-international.com/colorado-elk-hunting/) was loaded with game. We saw good [mule deer and hundreds of elk](https://outdoors-international.com/tyler-waldner-idaho-frank-church-hunt-report/). The elk were mostly in big winter herds, but the bigger bulls tended to be by themselves or in bachelor groups. We eventually found a big herd with a nice bull in it and Justin was up to bat first. We made a good stalk and Justin made a good shot, and I got it all on video. Dom, our guide made short work of quartering the bull and loading it in our Black Ovis Game Bags. Justin let him use his Kershaw knife, and he didn’t want to give it back. Those things are sharp! OK, fun day. One bull out of the way. My turn! ## We made a good stalk and Justin made a good shot, and I got it all on video. ## Now it was my turn to hunt Early the next morning we got into a big herd of [elk moving out of the sage flats into the pinions for the day](https://outdoors-international.com/hunt-report-new-mexico-elk/), and I could have had my pick of multiple raghorns, 5-points and smaller 6-point bulls, but I didn’t see anything that tripped my trigger so we kept looking. There are lots and [lots of elk in this unit](https://outdoors-international.com/product-tag/new-mexico-unit-6c/), so numbers aren’t a problem. It is almost completely flat, so the walking would be easy, and there were rubs EVERYWHERE, so it was obviously where the elk were during the rut. They have a 100% opportunity rate during their bowhunts and hunters average 250-320 bulls… not bad. ![Cory with a big mule deer dead head he found in New Mexico.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Mule-Deer-Dead-Head.jpg "Cory Glauner New Mexico Mule-Deer-Dead-Head » Outdoors International") Did I mention the mule deer?… oh, the mule deer… oh how I wish that I would have had a [mule deer](https://outdoors-international.com/utah-archery-mule-deer-hunting-report/) tag. He can get landowner tags for mule deer, and access to some incredible ranches. [You should talk to us](#more-information) about that if [mule deer](https://outdoors-international.com/new-mexico-mule-deer-hunting/) are your game. ![Mule-deer in New Mexico](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Mule-deer.jpg "New Mexico mule deer") We saw a few good bucks that made me wish I had a mule deer tag. ![feeding-deer Doritos along the road in New Mexico](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/feeding-deer.jpg "feeding-deer Doritos along the road in New Mexico") Yes… we are feeding deer chips in the middle of the road. Kinda crazy. In the end, I didn’t get my bull. But [I had opportunities every day](https://outdoors-international.com/blown-opportunities/). On the last day we saw a bull that was at least 300″ and by the time we got the camera on him, he took off… that’s the risk of trying to get good [video on a hunt](https://outdoors-international.com/team-oi-aoudad-hunt-report/). If I was to go back and do it again (which I hope I get the chance to do), I would either go early during the archery hunt, or combo with a [mountain lion](https://outdoors-international.com/hunting/mountain-lion/) late. A good [hunt at a great price](https://outdoors-international.com/new-mexico-archery-elk-hunt-report-by-greg-price/) point. by [Cory Glauner](https://outdoors-international.com/about-us/cory-glauner/) ![Live like you mean it.](https://outdoors-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sillouette-Header-with-Logo.png "Live like you mean it. » Outdoors International") ### Contact us today!

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren’t applying for the OI Draws, you should.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International. **Dason Lasater** / OI Draw Winner ### 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.
