If you’re in the market for a good hunt, one of our Utah elk hunting outfitters should be seriously considered. This state has done a great job of rebuilding their herds from when they were nearly wiped out in 1898. At that time, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources underwent a successful reintroduction program, moving elk from neighboring Yellowstone National Park. Now elk are flourishing in northern Utah.

Jeff Anderson –
In the five days of archery mule deer hunting in Utah, I had been inside 75 yards of a 150 inch buck at least once every day and inside 25 yards twice. We had seen a lot of very good bucks with a few we estimated over 180 inches. We never saw less than three bucks over 150 inches every day.
Al Schellinger –
I was unsuccessful, but the other guy in camp killed a good buck.
Bob Morgan –

The outfitter was just as amazing. Our hunt was too notch from the meals to the lodge they made you feel right at home and like you were their only client.
Andrew Kissel –
I have hunted with this particular outfitter in Utah four times over the last few years, and each time has been spot on. Three archery mule deer hunts, and one rifle, resulting in four great bucks.
Mike Enright –
As usual the trip was great. The mule deer hunting outfitter was top notch and they did a great job on every level. Patrick was also top notch at OUTDOORS INTERNATIONAL with all his help and guidance!
Billy Henry –
After seeing many nice bulls, it only took the second afternoon for my guide to put me on a great bull where I had an easy 80 yard shot.
Clay Johnson –
The Utah hunting lodge we hunted out of was amazing, and sits in some beautiful country. Dave and the staff there do an amazing job making you comfortable and more importantly getting you on Bulls! Best part though, you are always in the action! Food was top notch. This company is great. Can’t wait to go back.
