NEW MEXICO #342

BIG BULL ELK

If you struck out on drawing a 2023 elk tag and want to hunt elk this year, look no farther. This outfitter’s success rate on big bulls is phenomenal, and he has several landowner tags available!

 

They specialize in guided hunts. In 2022 they had a 92% success rate on rifle hunts. Muzzleloader was 90% with the 2 unsuccessful hunters missing shots on 300” plus bulls. You won’t find a better place to have a legitimate chance on 300” bulls with archery tackle, but be advised you have to take advantage when the opportunity arises. In 2022 he had 14 of 26 archery hunters tag their bull. However, 10 hunters wounded bulls that were not recovered, with one hunter passing several bulls looking for a monster. One hunter had no shot opportunities. As you can see by the numbers, this is an amazing rate for shot opportunities on bulls that average in the 280”-290” range, with much bigger taken every year.

 

Located in the Northwest part of New Mexico, hunts are conducted in Units 2, 5A, 5B, 6A, 6C and 7 on both public and private lands. Hunters flying would arrive in Albuquerque, rent a car and drive the one and a half hours to camp.

NORTHWEST TERRITORIES #283

LAST MINUTE DISCOUNT BARREN GROUND MUSKOX

The long-time outfitter was fortunate enough to have a new hunting zone created in his territory for the 2022 season, due to an expanding herd now estimated in the thousands. It had never been commercially hunted, and the muskox rarely, if ever, saw humans. The results were amazing: 100% success on their fall hunts, and 90% made B&C or P&Y, including the new #1 B&C! Incredible!

 

Hunting is by spot & stalk hunt, and you will be out hunting for 12 hours a day, travelling and glassing. You will need to come prepared mentally for long glassing sits, and be absolutely dressed appropriately to stay warm. You should also see caribou and wolves, and have the opportunity to enjoy some fabulous fishing for lake trout and Arctic grayling.

There are 2 spots left for Fall 2023 (and also Spring 2024). Regular price is $20,000 now discounted to $19,000 USD per person 1x1 for an 8-day hunt, plus 5% tax and $2,000 for charter flight (can be split among passengers). Spring 2024 is $22,000 USD.

MANITOBA #306

FLY-IN BIG BULL MOOSE RUT HUNT - LAST CHANCE FOR 2023!

If you have dreamed of putting a big bull moose on the wall but Alaska or the Yukon is just not in the budget, you need to take a hard look at northern Manitoba. Simply put, this area produces some big bulls at less than half the price of those other destinations!

 

This family-owned and operated outfitting business is one of the finest in the province and has been guiding hunters for over 25 years. They enjoy a high percentage of repeat clients. Their fly-in moose hunts are based out of cabin camps on various remote lakes in northern Manitoba, which makes resident hunting pressure almost non-existent. You will be the only hunters on the lake, and hunting is via small motorized boats, with lots of calling and listening for lovesick bulls at strategic locations.

 

They have just 1 spot remaining for this season. You will be staying in a comfortable cabin with indoor bathroom and shower, wood stove, beds with mattresses, etc. It is situated on a small lake with very good fishing after you tag your moose.

This 6-day hunt is $15,500 USD 1x1. Price includes round trip air transport from Thompson, and also includes moose, bear, wolf and fishing licenses. There are no trophy fees, and you may harvest a black bear or wolf for no extra charge!

INDIANA #314

TROPHY ARCHERY / CROSSBOW WHITETAILS

Here is a unique opportunity from one of our Indiana outfitters. Get semi-exclusive rights to hunt a 550-acre archery/crossbow-only property in south-central Indiana! This property was logged 4 years ago and has tremendous bedding and food sources for deer. It is all wooded, but has an excellent trail system throughout. It is bordered on one side by a Nature Conservancy and Indiana University land holdings. Another side borders a property owned by a distillery, so deer have very little pressure and can grow to maturity.

 

This is a DIY hunt, so hunters will need to provide their own climbing/lock-on treestands, and handle their own game recovery. Only 6 hunters will be allowed to access this property this year! Ideally, the outfitter is looking for 2 groups of 3 hunters for the time periods mentioned below, with only 3 hunters per hunt (but if your group consists of more than 3 hunters, the outfitter will allow it). 

Hunts will be 5 days in total, and the price is $2,950 per hunter. Archery tags are OTC.

 

Food and lodging is readily available in a nearby town. There is also a possibility that lodging may be available on the property before hunting season, which would add another $250 per hunter for 5 days/nights, but this will not be known until September.

 

DATES:  The rut is approx. October 30 to November 17.  Choose 5 days/6 nights in that time frame

ZIMBABWE #209

BULL ELEPHANT CANCELLATION- BIG SAVINGS!

This safari company is run by one of the top PHs in Zimbabwe, and was previously awarded that country’s prestigious Professional Hunter of the Year award. About 80% of his business is repeat clients. His company is very tough on poaching, and spent half a million dollars in just one year on anti-poaching patrols. Simply an outstanding and honest PH in a spectacular area!

 

They have just had a cancellation for a 12-day bull elephant hunt. The hunt will take place in the Tuli area of southwest Zimbabwe (fly into Bulawayo and then 4-hour drive to camp), which borders Botswana and South Africa. There are loads of elephant in this area, and hunters can expect a 40-50 pounder, but 80 pounders have also been taken here.

As a deposit has already been paid toward the daily rates, you will pay just the remaining $8,775 USD, plus a trophy fee of $16,500 USD. You will be hunting 1x1. Various other species of plains and big game can be added to the hunt for additional trophy fees.

 

DATES:       October 1-12, 2023 (this is the best time to hunt this area!)

BELIZE #64

FISHING GETAWAY IN TROPICAL PARADISE

This operation has been in business for 30 years, during which time they have hosted a number of big name saltwater anglers from around the world. And it’s no wonder when you consider that enjoying spectacular tropical evenings, spending hours sightfishing the flats for bonefish, permit and tarpon, taking a dip in the infinity pool (while watching tailing bones just a few yards away), and sipping your favorite beverage on the deck are all normal fare.

 

This lodge is on a major coral atoll 30 miles offshore of Belize, with hundreds of square miles of some of the finest wading flats of crystal clear water anywhere. You can literally fish within minutes of leaving the lodge, and you will normally see large schools of bones tailing on the flats. Most fish are in the 2- to 4-pound range, but there are enough 5-pound fish to keep things very interesting. You may even see their famed golden bones – truly gold colored. Permit average 10 to 18 pounds, but can go over 35 pounds. This is a great place for anglers of all varieties, including the beginner flyfisher, as they are happy to teach you, and show incredible patience and kindness to beginners. And there are enough targets that even a rank amateur will enjoy success here. Best of all, the fishing is consistent year round – there’s always something biting somewhere!

They offer a variety of accommodations from private cabanas on the beach (all air conditioned) to various upscale and comfortable villas with private baths. Meals are heavy on fresh seafood, local produce and home-made pastries. There is also a lot to do for the non-anglers, including swimming, snorkeling/scuba diving, and various eco-tours.

 

Why not plan a winter getaway to a tropical fishing oasis? Packages available starting as low as $2,300 per person for 2 days/3 nights. Includes fishing, accommodations and meals.

SOUTH AFRICA #23

2-FOR-1 CAPE BUFFALO SPECIAL

This outfitter has been in business over 20 years, and they are offering an amazing deal for 2023. Simply choose one of their three trophy bull packages, and then add a Cape buffalo cow “on the house”, for yourself or a second hunter (great bonus opportunity for a child or spouse; daily hunting rates would apply). And don’t think for a moment that cows are easier to hunt. In fact, cows may be trickier, as they are usually found in bigger herds.

 

These hunts take place on a 9,500-acre preserve in the Zululand bushveld of South Africa (accessed via Johannesburg), with wide valleys, flat land and occasional ridges providing spectacular panoramic views. It is a true African wilderness with an immense diversity of game, including over 300 buffalo, with good numbers of old, hard-bossed “dugga” bulls. All hunts are conducted on foot, and it is challenging, as there are no captive bred, “put-and-take” buffalo here. In fact, these buff have drawn human blood on more than one occasion over the years. Most shots will be 40-60 yards, and this hunt can be done with either rifle or bow.

 

These hunts are 3 days in length and include PH and all other staff, food & alcoholic drinks, lodging, taxes, licenses and trophy fee for one hunter, along with field prep and delivery of trophies to a local taxidermist.

Choose any one of the deals below and hunt a Cape buffalo cow for free.

 

Cape Buffalo Special A (bull 40”- 43”) – $13,300 USD per person

Cape Buffalo Special B (bull 37”- <40”) – $10,500 USD per person

Cape Buffalo Special C (bull up to 37 inches) – $8,250 USD per person

 

They also have some terrific plains game hunting, which can be added on a trophy fee basis.

 

DATES:        Any time before the end of the 2024 season
