I want to thank you very much for booking us this great fishing trip in Costa Rica. The resort is awesome, accommodations are great and fishing is top notch. My family and myself had a great time and we can’t wait to go back. My son was able to catch rooster fish, big eye tune, jack caravelle, sailfish and many other species. My two year old daughter loved the pool and the beautiful wildlife surrounding the resort. This is the second time I book a trip with Fish Nation / Hunt Nation and I am extremely satisfied with your service. Thank you very much! COSTA RICA #134
Accommodations were better than I ever expected. I had a guest with me and the Outfitter accommodated him and took care of my guest. We lucked out with great weather- dry scent for the dogs but they were so good that it didn’t seem to matter. The scenery is as good as it gets. We found a track after 6-8 hours with me and my guide and my guest and his guide. Clean shot and not too bad of a hike getting out. The Outfitter was a pro and his dogs were top drawer. ARIZONA #29

IDAHO #103
DISCOUNTED FALL BLACK BEAR 2025- SAVE $1000
| | |
This excellent outfitter has been in business for almost 40 years and has been featured many times on numerous big name TV hunting shows. We have worked with them for many years, and we have personally hunted with them several times.
A typical bear hunting day with this outfitter goes as follows: Up early, have breakfast, load up the hounds and head for the timber. Once the hounds strike a scent, they are released and, using collars with radio beacons, you can track the dogs, then intercept them at the nearest tote road into the forest. Then you hustle to the commotion, hoping the bear stays bayed up or treed. These hunts are high success and a lot of fun. And you can use any weapon you choose.
You also hunt the afternoons by sitting on the hillsides watching for bears entering the plum tree thickets on the valley floor. During the month of September, the wild plum trees fill every canyon on the ranch with some of the tastiest wild fruit around. Bears come from the surroundings mountains down to the ranch in order to fatten up for the winter. Those shots can be longish (up to 350 yards), so you are strongly urged to have shooting sticks or a bi-pod, and a gun of .30-06 or bigger caliber, with a 7MM Mag or .300 Mag about ideal. Most years the hounds produce better than the hillsides, but overall they have been averaging close to 100%.

IDAHO #243
BARGAIN WHITETAIL WITH GUARANTEED OUTFITTER TAG
| | |
MUST BOOK BEFORE JULY 15th!
You will hunt whitetails in a beautiful area in northwest Idaho, near Kooskia in the Clearwater River area. You will be hunting 1,200 acres of prime Idaho deer habitat and also on several thousand acres of adjacent BLM land.
This outfitter has been around many years, operating both in Idaho for hunting and in Alaska for guided charter fishing trips. He owns a nice ranch. Our clients have been re-booking this hunt regularly and have indicated a high level of satisfaction with the deer hunting, the lodge and the overall experience. This area is much more open than most whitetail hunters are used to – almost like mule deer country, making it a really different experience. It means you have time to scope your deer out, and deer are very visible. Shots are from 50 yards to 300 yards. And 7 days to pick out “the one!” Clients will sometimes go back for a second and third time. This is a fun, high-success (normally 100%) whitetail hunt, but it should not be seen as a true “trophy buck” hunt. Deer taken will be nice 8- and 10-point bucks that will top out at approx. 130”. If you want to be pampered a bit, not work too hard, take a nice buck, see gorgeous country, and maybe sneak in a trip for giant steelhead, then this place is top notch.

2025 PRICES (subject to change until deposit is received)
$3,495 per person. Full 7-day hunt with guiding, meals and lodging included. 6% Idaho sales tax is extra. Non-hunters $1,000 per person.

ARGENTINA #33
OUTSTANDING DOVE HUNTING IN THE CORDOBA AREA
| | |
Argentina is possibly THE premiere destination for world-class wingshooting for doves and pigeons. These birds number in the millions, and have become an agricultural plague. As a result, the hunting season is year round, and it is not uncommon to shoot 1,000 or more birds per day!
This outfitter is offering a special wingshooting package in the Tras la Sierra Valley in the Province of Cordoba, surrounded by high mountains where farmers grow sunflower, corn, peanuts, sorghum and others.
Lodging is 5-star and the food and wine is first class as well! So gather a few friends and book your adventure. Every serious wing shooter owes it to themselves to visit Argentina at least once.
| | |
This NO LIMIT 3-day/4-night dove and pigeon hunt is just $2,950 USD per person Includes: meals & alcohol, lodging, license, gun rental AND 1,000 SHOTGUN SHELLS (20 GAUGE)! That is an incredible deal, as shells are approx. $16.50/box, so that alone would cost you close to $700! A “bird boy” is included, as is first class ground transfers from the airport. Accommodations are in a 5-star lodge with swimming pool, just 30 minutes from the hunting grounds. Golfing is also available nearby. International flights are available directly into Cordoba, or via Buenos Aires. REQUIRES A MINIMUM GROUP OF 4 HUNTERS TO BOOK.
DOVE DATES: Available year around CALL US FOR AVAILABLE DATES
- Duck season is April 15 through July 31, and a combo package dove /ducks can be arranged those dates.

ARIZONA #29
TROPHY MOUNTAIN LIONS
| | |
Now booking for 2025-2026 season.
This is one of the absolute best houndsman we know of. He is known far and wide as one of the best breeders and cat hound trainers in the West, and he has been doing it for nearly 30 years. His dogs do extremely well on bare ground, given any reasonable set of conditions. In snow, they are superb. Lion hunts are totally dependent on the quality of the dogs! He also has experienced hunting guides, although he conducts most of his hunts himself.
We have been using this outfit for a number of years, and over that time his success has hovered around 95%+, which is about as good as can ever be expected, since bad weather can shut the hunt down. This is an awesome average for wild lions in rough terrain. You are hunting near the famed Kaibab in northern Arizona, in some awesome canyon and mountain country with views that will not quit.
| | |
Just $6000 per person for a 5-day cat hunt, or $7,500 per person for a 5-day toms-only hunt, with lodging and lunches included (dinners are at your expense). Guiding is 1x1, plus one helper looking for fresh tracks for you in a different area. Tags/licenses are extra (approx. $250)
Season: November to May

FLORIDA #253
AFFORDABLE GATORS AND HOGS
| | |
We work with a quality outfitter in central Florida (just 2-3 hrs. from either coast) that specializes in gators and Osceola turkeys (along with hogs and exotics). There are over 1 million gators in Florida, and he hunts thousands of acres of private and public land. His very high-success and affordable public land hunts are conducted on Lake Okeechobee from August 15 to October 31 and are done in the evenings using bow, crossbow, or rod & reel, while the year-round private land hunts are conducted all day and rifles can be used.
We think his public land gator hunts are exceptional, and an outstanding value. He offers evening/nighttime hunts for gators in the 6-8ft. range, as well as hunts for big trophy “dinosaur” gators of 9+ ft. He has averaged close to 11 ft. on these trophy gator hunts over the last few years, with near 100% success! But tags are very limited, so book now before it’s too late!

This operation may be just what you are looking for, at better pricing than comparable free-range elk hunts!
