"Hey Derek, We just completed a fantastic 5 day holiday hunt. They far exceeded our expectations and your recommendation to go there was perfect in every way. We harvested 4 awesome stags and a Fallow buck and had a great time, met new friends, ate wonderful food, and created lifelong memories. We’ve never hunted with an outfitter before and I can’t imagine anyone being better than t​h​is​​ family and crew! We hope to return someday soon.

Thank you very much for your assistance, it was invaluable." Steve W​. NZ#171

 

​"Thanks again for setting it all up for us.  ​Everything went about as perfect as it could've gone.  ​I was really impressed with John and Damian​, not only with the hunting but also after the hunt for taking the time to show us around ​Brasov. ​It was not expected at all but really appreciated. I would 100% hunt with John again if I were to ever return to Romania and wouldn't hesitate at all to recommend him for any hunting anyone wanted to do in Romania."- Billy T. Romania #329

GUATEMALA #349

SAILFISH, MARLIN, DORADO AND MORE

Most of us dread the quiet time of winter, longing for sunshine, outdoor action, and good times with friends and family. Why not get away to sunny and warm Guatemala and experience the best fishing of the year down there? And the cost is well within reach. For example, 4 people stay 3 nights and fish 2 days for approx. $2,200 per person (about 50% lower than their competitors!). Great chef-prepared meals, wonderful lodging, a pool to relax in!

 

You may have read or heard about the truly incredible sail fishing, plus the marlin, dorado, roosters and yellowfin tuna fishing in Guatemala. It is relatively routine to raise 30-50+ billfish a day, and land around half of that. But sometimes you can do many more. This operation’s all-time best is over 100 sails boated in a day! Many places can only dream of RAISING that many sails in a day, never mind actually landing that many. Great people, an awesome fishery, good food, open bar, nice lodging and absolutely incredible pricing for this fishery, which is still in its infancy.

 

There is excellent sail fishing from October/November through April/May, giving you many months of prime fishing. Marlin, yellowfin, dorado, jacks, wahoo and king mackerel are all good most of the year, with roosterfish at certain times. Please note that February can bring some storms, but you can go almost any time and find good fishing.

5 NIGHTS/4 DAYS FISHING:               

4 PERSONS – $3,900 per person

3 PERSONS – $5,200 per person

BRITISH COLUMBIA #210

VANCOUVER ISLAND GIANT BLACK BEARS & ROOSEVELT ELK

This outfitter’s territory is huge – about 1,200 square miles – but what makes it really unique from other operators on the island is that over half of their hunting area is behind locked gates, inaccessible to even local hunters. while other operators on the island may take 20 bears per year, this outfitter has taken no more than 12 a year in the 5 years they have had this territory. The result is that this outfitter’s area has some GIANT black bears roaming around!

 

ROOSEVELT ELK

Vancouver Island is believed to have the purest strain of Roosevelt elk in North America. These elk are true giants – the largest bodied elk in North America, and can reach over 1,000 pounds and required to complete the North America 29 Slam.

 

Hunting is normally done much like the bear hunts. You will be hunting using 4WDs and ATVs, and by glassing old and new clear cuts or following up on bugles heard. Because of the heavy cover, this is often best done during the archery season, when vocal bulls can help point you in the right direction, and the thick cover allows you to get close. Of course rifle works quite well too.

 

ACCOMMODATIONS

You will stay in a very modern and luxurious lakeside lodge, with a chef to serve you steaks, prime rib, chicken, seafood and more. They make a serious effort to give you top-notch creature comforts, and you likely gain five pounds here! 

2025 PRICES (subject to change without notice until deposit received; all prices in USD)  

BEAR (May 16-20 or June 6-10)

$8,900 USD per person 1x1, including taxes, license/tag and government fees. 5-day hunt. Most other outfitters on the island are over $10,000!

 

ROOSEVELT ELK (September)

Archery – $37,000 USD per person 1x1, including taxes, license/tag and govt fees. 10-day hunt. 

Rifle – $49,000 USD per person 1x1, including taxes, license/tag and govt fees. 10 day hunt.
