"This was my third trip to NM and my second time filling my tag. The greatest highlight of the trip wasn’t notching my tag but being front and center watching my cousin shoot his first bull elk. It’s a memory i will remember forever. The outfitter runs a good operation. The lodge was in good condition and is close to the area of the hunt. The terrain wasn’t terribly demanding but not easy.

There were plenty of elk on the ranch." NEW MEXICO #90

"I have been to Africa 4 times and this was the most enjoyable trip to date. My wife also enjoyed the entire trip and is excited about going back. If all goes well, I will rebook in 2025. For the money this hunt cannot be beat!" SOUTH AFRICA #61

If you're wondering where Hunt Nation Consultants hunt in Africa, this is one of those places. Hunt Nation owner Ed Manasse took his family here in July as did our Agent Brian with his family and friends.

A lot of people feel that they could never afford an African Safari. But for  the cost of an average western guided U.S elk hunt you can go to the dark continent and shoot 4 to 6 animals. This is an excellent opportunity for the first timer or anyone who just wants to go to South Africa at an amazing value.

7 DAYS/8 NIGHTS, 1 HUNTER, 1 FREE OBSERVER, 1x1 HUNT, 4 ANIMALS ONLY $2,600

The staff is always ready to serve your every need – hunt all day, or if you are lucky and shot your game before noon and want to relax by the pool, this is totally up to you. Said one well-traveled hunter: “Butch, this place is just too nice for hunters! Like staying on a luxury cruise ship. I give it excellent in every single category from guides to game to lodging and meals!” Tom M.

Their own private 10,000-acre game reserve is the starting point of your hunt, and is located in the middle of the beautiful Waterberg Mountains in the Limpopo Region. In all they hunt 500,000 acres consisting of numerous ranches and parcels. The area is scenic, and is considered to be a malaria-free area. Over the last 20 years, the outfitter’s efforts have transformed this area into a superb wildlife reserve containing three of South Africa’s most luxurious lodges.

Moose here are typically 40” to 50””, with always a chance for bigger, and about -85% success! That is outstanding anywhere that moose roam. Hunts takes place in the Boreal forest (big bush), using 4WD vehicles and quads. This outfitter takes only a handful of hunters per year.

The Peace River area has a very healthy moose population. You’ll be in Wildlife Management Area 544, and hunts take place in the remote backcountry in logged cutovers – near lakes, natural salt licks, cut-lines and beaver dams. Moose prefer these areas for the solitude, the food, and the abundance of water. Hunting may include sitting stands and calling – with more emphasis on covering some ground and locating bulls within rifle range.

This is a young outfitter that is doing everything right. We have been working with him for many years. This hunt will take place on private land in southeastern Wyoming.



Private land leases produce multiple trophies every year. Totaling near 300,000 acres and 5 different hunt units. Antelope hunts offer a 99% success rate. The 2024 season they were 100% on their antelope hunts including 11 for 11 archery antelope. Four of which went over 75 inch, one 82 incher.

Whether you are a first timer or a seasoned veteran, we have the hunt for you! We offer both archery and rifle hunts during the antelope season. You will have the option of early season archery antelope hunting over watering holes, all the way through antelope rifle season at the end of October. During your Wyoming antelope hunt, you will have the option of staying at our newly renovated lodge, or one of our roomy cabins. Our cabins, located on the same property as our lodge, are equipped with all the utilities and amenities that you would expect your home to have. We offer our antelope hunts with two hunters per guide. If you desire a one on one with some of the finest guides in Wyoming, please request at the time of booking.

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.

This northwest New Mexico (around Chama) outfitter has been featured on numerous television shows with many well-known hunting celebrities. We have sent countless clients to him over the 15+ years we’ve been working with him, with very high success. He is one of our absolute favorites, with a reputation for honesty, hard work and producing elk. This is a high-success hunt for 5x5 and 6x6 bulls. Most will be 270”-290”, with a few 300+”. Most are solid mature bulls, but every year is different, usually due to moisture.

Many of the ranches this outfitter hunts are lower-lying private ground with areas of parks and meadows, scattered water tanks, and conifers, making for fairly easy terrain for those of us who can’t quite climb the way we once could. But he has properties on a few different migration corridors, and bit of snow can make for a really great hunt as the elk start moving and “fresh” bulls wander onto these ranches. In fact, they sometimes take some of their biggest bulls of the year on their late-season hunts.

Fish Nation owner, Ed Manasse along with his parents Butch and Joan, recently fished with this talented Captain for redfish and landed over 20 on a half day charter. We were all thoroughly impressed with the Captains vast knowledge of the area and his charismatic personality made the trip outstanding! We also were very impressed with his custom-built boat and its easy and comfortable fishability!

With over 20 years of fishing the pristine waters of Anna Maria Island, Tampa Bay, and the Gulf of Mexico, this Captains mission is to deliver unforgettable fishing experiences tailored to anglers of all skill levels. Whether you’re chasing trophy fish or enjoying a relaxing day on the water, he will make your adventure safe, memorable, and full of excitement.

The waters of Tampa Bay, Anna Maria Sound, The Manatee river, Tierra Ceia Bay, and the gulf beaches offer a wide variety of species to target ranging from Tarpon to Snook to Snapper and Redfish. His passion is putting clients on monster Tarpon! Typically, the spring migration starts the first week of May and fizzles out towards the end of June. He frequently schedules trips according to the moon phase. The very early morning and late in the evening can be extremely productive. When targeting Tarpon, that is all you will target. Tarpon will range from 40-200 pounds and you should be prepared for the fight of lifetime! Don’t forget your cameras and video equipment.

This outfitter has been in business for close to 30 years. His area has a wonderful problem: according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife figures, there are too many elk for the habitat he hunts!

GUIDED WILDERNESS MOUNTAIN ARCHERY ELK HUNTS –

The outfitter hunts Units 68 and 681 on these mountain hunts, and ONLY takes four hunters at a time. The result is low hunter numbers. Hunts are 2 hunters per 1 guide, 5 full days, plus a day in and a day out, although it’s really only about a two-hour ride, and you’re hunting the whole way in and out. Lodging and meals are included. This is a classic western hunt with tents, horses, wild country.

Bulls topping 300 inches are taken every year, but the average is a 5x5, with some nice 6x6s. These mountain hunts are a heck of a deal! You’d expect to pay $2,000 more for a comparable wilderness horseback hunt, and probably have less success. But mountain hunts are never easy!

There are four separate guided archery hunts for elk. These hunts will be conducted from high country pack-in tent camps. Camps are limited to four hunters maximum with a 2X1 hunter to guide ratio. All hunts will be a seven day trip with five full days of hunting.

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

The Snow Geese are arriving in large numbers as you read this. If you can travel light and fast call us ASAP!

This terrific multi-species outfitter in northeastern South Dakota has been in business for over 20 years and knows what it takes to make your spring snow goose hunt a memorable one. They utilize huge decoy spreads, electronic calls, comfortable layout blinds and much more. They are full-time guides/outfitters who hunt for a living, and their second-to-none customer service results in a high percentage of repeat clients.

The season only lasts from early March thru early April, and only a small number of groups can be accommodated during this time. And this outfitter is located on one of the largest snow goose flyways during the migration. No one will work harder to give you the best opportunity, and they aren’t afraid to pick up and move the entire spread for the next day’s hunt,

There is no daily or possession limit on snow geese, and you are allowed to hunt with unplugged shotguns. A group size of 6 hunters will allow you to hunt in your own exclusive field, but groups with less than 6 hunters can reserve their exclusive field for an additional charge. If you don’t have 6, you will be combined with other smaller groups to reach the desired number of hunters in each field. Even singles are welcome!

Very few South Dakota snow goose operations provide lodging, but this one does. You can stay in 1 of 5 very nice lodges based on the size of your group. No meals are provided, but there are plenty of dining options about 15 minutes away, or you can prepare your own meals in the lodge’s fully-stocked kitchen.

The owner and head guide of this outfit has lived, hunted, and worked as a bush pilot in western Alaska since 2005, and has been a professional guide since 2010. The unique advantage that this combination of expertise delivers, is that he has over 12,000 hours of bush pilot flight time all in the exact areas that you will hunting. You can rest assured that when you are hunting with him, you will be put into areas that have been thoroughly scouted for high success and great productivity. This makes for an unmatched hunting experience for these coastal bruins and huge moose.  Bears grow big here and will average close to 9’ with big ones of over 10’ taken on a regular basis. The outfitter advises that if a client is in good shape and hunts hard, they should have close to 100% opportunity at getting their bear. 

The hunts are based out of Dillingham, Alaska and your transportation from there to your hunting area is included in the hunt price! Not an extra! You will hunt 10 days and then be returned to Dillingham after the conclusion of your hunt. Your guiding is 1x1 and includes your food, and lodging.  

Fall hunts will be from spike camps along those tributaries that have shown bear activity. These hunts, depending on the time of season and availability, may provide an opportunity at a trophy moose as well.
