Brian: I wanted to pass some feedback to you - great operation and I’m exceptionally pleased with everything from the hunt, to accommodations, food, and services like recovery and transport to the processor. And my guide was focused, professional, and super easy to work with. 40 mph winds gusting to 50+ with a little snow and very cold…but the weather seemed to help us get to within 40 or so yards - wind direction was very consistent, brush and trees were moving all over, and the bison were bunched up in the thick stuff. Threaded a shot in a small window between trees – the bison took maybe half a step and collapsed after 10-15 seconds.- SD #101.

These hunts have been gaining in popularity and price every year and sell out quickly. So call now to reserve your dates. Most competitors are at $6,000-$7,000+! This is a 2-on-1 guided hunt in West Texas for free ranging aoudad (Barbary sheep). This hunt will be on very remote and private ranches. All meals and accommodations are provided. Sheep can run up to 34” and will average 27” to 31”. They can accommodate up to 4 hunters at a time. They take a total of 22-24 hunters per year, and have been running these hunts since 2010. In all that time, only 2 hunters went home without an aoudad. It doesn’t get much better than that!

Hunt Nation agents John Pomazi and Eddie Deuser went to this ranch in January of 2024 and had a great time. Javelina and coyotes can be taken at no additional charge.

This long-time outfitter hunts about 200,000 acres of private land in northeastern Wyoming and has been producing some superb trophies for our clients for many years. He has 30 years in the business, and his guides are truly excellent with many years’ experience hunting these ranches. These guys will hunt hard for you and pull out all the stops. Lodging is in a 5 bedroom 2-storey lodge with hot showers and good meals served family style.

His antelope can be hunted with either gun or bow (some ranches are archery-only). Size ranges from 13-15 inches, with some opportunities at trophies up to 16 inches.

He hunts Area 17, 23, 24, and 26 all of which can be drawn with zero to one preference points (Special License), apply by May 31, but booking now is essential for the best dates.

This is an absolute first class multi-species outfitter in NW Wyoming. Previous mule deer hunters we’ve sent there called it “the best overall package with an outfitter than I have hunted with!” In fact, his previous clients all speak very highly of him, and he’s been featured on outdoors TV many times. We consider his mule deer hunts to be one of the best values around.

These are fully-guided horseback hunts near Yellowstone Park’s eastern boundary, but you stay at their modern lodge and ride out each morning. You will see some gorgeous country and have a true wilderness experience, while enjoying home cooking and a warm bed each night. You will hunt migrating mule deer in the late pre-rut. Horses take much of the pain out of accessing the back country to find those big old boys, however, this is a physical hunt, and hunters must be in shape and able to withstand the cold and snow that causes the deer to move to lower elevations at that time of year.

Normally these hunts are close to 100% opportunity on mature bucks in the 160-inch and up range. Yes, you can shoot a monster here, but realistically you should be able to harvest a mature buck in the 155- to 170-inch class, as these hunts have historically been high-success. The hunt area is in Deer Region F, and you should be able to draw a SPECIAL LICENSE WITH ZERO PREFERENCE POINTS!, so call us now to book your 2025 hunt!

This central Florida operation does it all and they have for over 20 years. Not only do they offer phenomenal private land gator hunts but in addition they manufacture hunting equipment and take care of meat processing on site. Along with taxidermy and any type of products you would like to make out of your gator skin they truly do offer one stop shopping!

Hunt Nation agent’s John Pomazi and Eddie Deuser visited this outfitter in May of 2024 with their wives and had a great time. Located only 45 minutes from Orlando makes this a great destination to add on to a Disney World vacation. As a matter of fact one client shot his gator while waiting for his Fast Pass!

In addition to alligator and hogs they also offer trophy whitetail deer and exotics to include Blackbuck, Axis buck, Water buffalo and African Watusi on their private ranch. On both whitetail and exotics there is a $225 daily rate for hunters and $100 daily rate for observers that includes lunch.

Due to the great location of this outfitter you can combine this hunt with a vacation to Cocoa beach, Disneyland, Cape Canaveral or even a cruise. We stayed on Cape Canaveral Drive right by the cruise ship port and a short 5 minute walk to the beach and only 35 minutes from the hunting property. A great centralized location with many restaurants as well.

This outfitter offers turkey hunts in both Kansas and Nebraska, and the tags starting in 2024 are draw only with a one bird limit in Kansas. Unit 1 is this outfitters area and where hunters would apply for. Last year was 100% draw odds for non-residents. The main difference is that Kansas allows baiting, which can be a big plus if the weather isn’t great. These are shotgun only hunts. They are mainly Rio’s and Rio-Merriam’s hybrids. These hunts are customized, but most include lodging and a guide. He will call for you, or allow you to call, whatever you wish. Seeing flocks of 30 to 50 birds is not uncommon, and normally we expect 100% shot opportunity, barring bad weather.

The season opens in mid-April and runs to the end of May.

If you want the opportunity for 2 birds you can travel the 3 hours between his ranches in Kansas and Nebraska. Arrival point if flying would be Wichita, Kansas. This would be a 5 day hunt with lodging included.

A few remaining hunts for this season, and now booking for the 2026 season. This outfitter provides one of the more challenging bison hunts in the country, we believe. These bison run on 7,000 acres of rolling hills, canyons and prairie, much like their ancestors did, and the fencing is just 4- and 5-strand barbed wire (rather than high game-proof fenced), so trophy bulls should be eligible for inclusion in the North America 29 Super Slam, as well as SCI. They are about 500 in number and you will need to stalk them. You pick the size of animal you wish to hunt, and you can use archery, black powder, rifle, or pistol. Whatever your weapon of choice, you will earn your trophy – you are not shooting fish in a barrel here. Of course, bison are a plains animal, normally quite visible, so please bear that in mind. Multiple stalks are often needed.

The hunts are conducted from mid-December to the end of February when the hides are in the best condition (there is no difference in the quality of the hunting or the hides from the start to the end of that time). He usually allows you two days, but will give you a third day if needed, which we like a bunch. Success is 100%, and the outfitter will not let you leave without your bison trophy.

Included: Meals and lodging, Guiding, Photo set up, Aberdeen, SD airport pick up/drop off, Field prep, and delivery to processer (processing generally takes up to 2 days)

Processing by their professional butcher runs between $400 and $900 depending upon the size of the bison.

You may never see this again!  Free Range Desert Bighorn Sheep with $20,000 refunded if no sheep is harvested or wounded. Desert Mule deer $4,500 harvest fee included in the hunt price.

For most of us, a desert sheep hunt represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if you cannot draw a tag in the American southwest, a guided hunt in Mexico may be the only way to experience this hunt. Conducted on numerous large ranches spanning more than 80,000 acres, this outfitter offers one of the best free-range options with guaranteed opportunity (up to three missed shots) on desert sheep hunts. Dates are flexible, so clients can fly to Tucson for pickup after a good ram has been found. Rams will score from 160 and larger, with some exceptional trophies taken in recent years.

Mule deer hunters will enjoy an average size of 170"+, with realistic potential of giant bucks if luck and patience pay off, and it is no surprise this destination has one of our highest return rates of any hunt that we offer. Hunt Nation has personally hunted here many times, and the owners/operators are some of the best people you can find south of the border

For those looking to challenge your waterfowling desires, look no further than hunting sandhill cranes. Not only are these birds the best waterfowl to hit the dinner table, commonly referred to as ribeye of the sky, but cranes are very fun birds to hunt and look like lawn chairs falling off a roof when you fold them up over the decoys. Sandhill Cranes are very wary birds. Perfect concealment and decoy placement are a must to fool these birds. When everything is set up just right you will experience some of the most exciting waterfowl hunting there is to be had. They stand 3-4 feet tall and have wingspans approaching 7 feet.



Sandhill Cranes are protected in many states and in others a draw permit is required to harvest one bird. In Texas these birds are abundant and you are allowed a daily limit of 3 with 9 in possession. Hunt Nation agents Eddie Deuser and John Pomazi visited this operation for a two-day hunt in January of 2024. Even with nasty windy weather on day one they were both able to take 2 birds. On day 2 with optimal weather conditions they limited out by 9:30. Located about an hour from Lubbock Texas this outfitter has access to over 30,000 acres of prime Sandhill Crane habitat spread out over 4 counties and located in peanut fields and other various crops. The diverse terrains offer a variety of hunting experiences that cater to different game and skill levels. While you are hunting other guides are scouting out the best locations for tomorrow’s hunt.

Have you dreamed of fishing in Alaska but $5,000-$8,000 trips were more than you could afford? How about approx. $1,600 per person? We have been enjoying this trip on Prince of Wales Island ourselves nearly annually for about 20 years, and have brought many friends along as well.

Prince of Wales Island (accessed via Ketchican) is a pristine sportsmen’s paradise in southeast Alaska. An angler could fish an entire lifetime here and never begin to sample all the opportunities. You can spin fish or fly fish, as both are equally productive, and you can do saltwater too! Halibut, rock fish, ling cod, various species of salmon and more, by boat or from shore.

• This resort supplies you with your choice of very nice lodging accommodations, a 17’ boat (with chart plotter/fish finder) with motor and trailer, a 4WD vehicle, crab traps, and a map of the island with a list of 30 or so places to stream fish. There are 9 rental cottages/chalets in all, each with 1-2 bedrooms, kitchen, private bath, and a porch. There is also a hot tub, a fish processing area, a big BBQ, a tackle shop and much more. You pay for your gas, you buy your own food and do your own cooking, and you can spend a week fishing Alaska and exploring. Great family fun, or for a bunch of guys or gals. Bring back up to 50 pounds of fish apiece!
