SPAIN #246

SPECIAL "ANY SIZE" FREE-RANGE SPANISH IBEX AND BIG GAME

This might be the single best bargain you can find if you want an ibex on the Iberian Peninsula. This outfitter has been working in Spain’s hunting industry for more than a decade and opened the doors to his own outfitting business about five years ago. Unlike most hunts in Spain that charge based on trophy size, this hunt takes place exclusively on private properties where the outfitter has arranged fixed pricing for his clients. This allows for the unique opportunity to pay one flat low rate for the best available trophy. Opportunity rates are virtually 100% with success rates virtually the same.

Clients may choose free range Beceite ibex (recommended), Sierra Nevada ibex, Ronda ibex, Pyrenean chamois or Cantabrian chamois or Iberian red deer, European fallow deer, Iberian mouflon, roe deer, barbary sheep or Balearian Boc with this special offer.

Expect to hunt on properties ranging from 10,000 to more than 40,000 acres for most species and on the Island of Mallorca for Balearean boc on properties from 4,000 to 30,000 acres. Of the Beceite ibex trophies taken over the last four years approximately 10% have been gold-medal trophies, 20% silver medal trophies, 40% bronze trophies and 30% were representative trophies. We highly recommend adding one or two additional hunting days to give yourself more time to look for the largest possible animals to maximize the value in this special offer. Additional hunting days may be added for $465 per day. Observers are welcome for $300 per day.

These two-day, two-night packages include airport reception, ground transfers while in Spain, 21% VAT, guiding services, trophy fee without size limit for specie taken, meals and authentic three and four-star local hotel accommodations, rifle rental, trophy prep, hunting license.

Special single species pricing for Fall 2021/Spring 2022 season: $4,995 USD

GRAND SLAM IBEX SPECIAL OFFER: Beceite ibex (any size), Sierra Nevada ibex (any size), Ronda ibex (any size) plus SILVER medal Gredos ibex: approx. $23,600 all inclusive (1 hunter) or $21,240 per hunter if two hunters come together.

GREENLAND #191

MUSK OX & REINDEER

We are now booking musk ox and reindeer hunts in Greenland for the 2022 season and spaces are filling up fast! Greenland is perhaps one of the most unique adventures we offer with breathtaking scenery, abundant wildlife and the grandeur of hunting beneath the polar ice cap. This outfitter is one of the finest operating on the world’s largest island and offers a choice of two hunt options, one in south Greenland accessed by boat and a second in west Greenland accessed by helicopter.

The south camp offers Greenland’s only full-service camp with private cabins, heat, electricity, sauna, in-house chef and excellent fishing within walking distance of the main lodge. Success rates have been 100% to date and trophy quality is excellent with many musk ox taken here scoring over the 105” B&C minimum. Reindeer will average 300” to 350” SCI with exceptional bulls scoring 400” to more than 450”. This is a fantastic option for hunters who plan to travel with non-hunting observers. Choose open dates from July through early September with flights from Iceland on Tuesdays and returning on Saturdays each week.

The west Greenland camp is accessed from the town of Kangerlussuaq via helicopter. A remote and rustic yet comfortable cabin serves as base camp with native caribou and abundant musk ox in close proximity. This area of Greenland does not offer any fishing, however arctic fox (non-importable), hare and ptarmigan may be hunted when in season. Body sizes in this region average 15% larger than anywhere else on the island and success rates have remained at 100%. Hunting is by spot and stalk on foot and with the aid of portable inflatable boats.

Pricing in USD for 2022 for the south camp

Musk Ox: $13,500

Reindeer: $8,150

ALASKA #156

PRIVATE HUNT, BOAT-BASED, LUXURY BROWN BEAR

DISCOUNTED NEARLY 1/2 PRICE!

Special Covid license allocation from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game! Two additional brown bear tags are available for this luxury yacht-based hunt in southeast Alaska on Chichagof Island. Regularly priced at $45,000 per hunter, now reduced to only $27,000 1x1 or $25,000 per hunter if two hunters booked together 2x1. Additionally, the outfitter is waiving the additional trophy fees for Sitka deer and ducks (normally an additional $5,500)! If that isn’t enough, you will have the yacht to yourself for the duration of the hunt.

We have worked with this outfitter for over 15 years, and he has been outfitting for longer than that. He offers yacht-based spring and fall brown and black bear hunts in southeast Alaska. These hunts are an outstanding option for hunters who want an all-in-one luxury hunting experience. This is a true world-class hunt from start to finish, with great opportunity to harvest the trophy bear of your dreams. Not only do they have the finest accommodations and hard-hunting, experienced guides, but also probably the best area for boat-based bear hunts in Alaska. They have worked for years to buy up and take over the best-producing concessions around, and this area has consistently produced the largest trophy bears in SE Alaska for nearly 30 years. Located in the heart of SE Alaska’s coastal inside passage, this outfitter’s territory on Admiralty and Chichagof Islands claims the high density of black and brown bears per square mile anywhere in the world.

The outfitter has a 70-foot luxury yacht with 4 guest rooms, and a 100-foot super-luxury yacht with 4 staterooms, both custom-built expressly for service in Alaskan waters, with panoramic views at the galley table to the fully-covered upper viewing deck. The yacht will anchor somewhere near a multitude of productive salmon streams, and then use comfortable 16-18 foot skiffs to access the shore and hike up the streams in search of trophy bears.

Fall hunts are more physically demanding, and you will need to be ready to spend long days in hip waders fording streams with slippery rocks. You will often encounter many small boars and sows on the way to the best fishing holes where the largest bears are found. This hunt is not for the faint of heart, as close encounters with bears of all size are not uncommon. A typical shot opportunity on a fall hunt is about 40 yards! Most brown bears will be in the 8’6” to 9’6” range.

They have just one 10-day hunt left for this fall. The 70-foot luxury yacht hunt is normally $45,000, but now reduced to $27,500 1x1 or $25,00 per person for 2 hunters, and you will have the ship to yourselves. Once again the outfitter will also waive the additional trophy fee for Sitka deer and ducks.

DATES: September 26-October 5, 2021 (70-foot luxury yacht)

Observers are $500/day on any hunt. Extras include airfare to Juneau, float plane charter to yacht (approx. $400 per person), and licenses/tags/permits (no draw!).

Canada has reopened to American hunters! You will need to show that you are fully-vaccinated against COVID (2 doses of approved vaccine, at least 14 days in advance), and you will still need to provide an approved negative COVID test conducted prior to leaving home.

NORTHWEST TERRITORIES #1

REMOTE HELICOPTER FLY-IN MOOSE & BLACK BEAR

One our outfitters, who we typically use in the Northwest Territories for musk ox, has two openings this fall for a unique helicopter-accessed moose and black bear hunt. This hunt will take place in the extreme northern portion of Alberta as a spike camp on the Yates River. Hunters will fly in on September 20^th and hunt during the peak of the moose rut. Boats/canoes with shallow water engines will be used to access remote areas from camp. Expect calling and spotting with boggy river bottoms and densely forested areas. Temperatures often freeze at night and may climb into the 50’s or 60’s during the day. Opportunity rates on moose are as high as 100% with 70% success rates on bulls averaging 40.” Trophy bulls up to and exceeding 50” are a real possibility in this area. Comfortable wall tents with a portable shower, a camp generator and home-cooked food will serve as camp. Meat fly-out is included in the cost of the hunt.

Dates: (Only 2 openings) Fly into camp September 20 and fly out when hunt is complete (or by October 1^st)

Pricing: $13,800 1x1 per hunter if one or two hunters book separately. If a group of two hunters book together a second hunter may join 2x1 for only $3,000 plus $8,000 moose trophy fee (or the two hunters may split the cost however they may choose). Black bear may be taken for $500 license plus $500 trophy fee. Wolf tags and trophy fee are included. Air Charter (normally $1,600 to $3,500 r/t) NOW INCLUDED!

Hunters must get themselves to High Lake, Alberta at their own expense. Not included in hunt package: 5% GST; transportation to/from High Level airport, Alberta; Canadian firearm import fee; black bear trophy fee; tags/licenses (approx. $500); field prep of trophy, meat and hides plus meat and trophy shipping.

Important notes: There is a strict weight limit of 50 pounds per person on the helicopter flight to camp. This weight limit can only be exceeded if a fixed-wing aircraft is available for charter. Each person’s hunting license serves as their export permit. If hunters wish to take their antlers/capes home with them they must fly to Edmonton, rent a car and drive to High Level.

WYOMING #263

ANTELOPE- GUARANTEED TAGS

Wyoming is antelope hunting at its best! This outfitter specializes in antelope hunting, and many of their hunters use archery tackle. They understand bowhunting for these speedy goats. They hunt the largest antelope herd in the United States, the Pumpkin Butte Herd. You will literally see hundreds of antelope during your hunt. Also, know that Wyoming has more Boone & Crocket entries for antelope than any other state. AND THEIR TAGS ARE GUARANTEED!

WYOMING IS THE BEST STATE FOR ARCHERY ANTELOPE HUNTING. First, Wyoming has huge antelope numbers – by far the most of all the Western States. Second, tags are guaranteed in this area. Third, because Wyoming is normally pretty dry, antelope concentrate within a mile of water normally, so most of their archery antelope hunts are conducted over a waterhole, with the use of a ground blind or treestand. If that isn’t challenging enough and you want more action, try spot and stalk using a decoy during the rut. There is nothing like a rutting antelope coming in hard and fast to a decoy. It is an amazing adrenaline rush! Rutting antelope bucks are often in fierce competition for territory and does, and clients take Pope & Young-class antelope bucks every year. The high concentration of antelope in this part of Wyoming keeps opportunity at around 100%, with a lot of action.

These animals live in a variety of topographical locations, all found in Unit 23 where they hunt. The client and choice of weapon will dictate what terrain will be hunted. You will encounter large tracts of rolling prairie hills, deeply-cut draws, and sagebrush plains overshadowed by cedar-covered buttes.

Their hunting guides are hand-picked from the local community. They know the “honey holes” because they are scouting the area year round. They know the land, know the animals that inhabit the land, and know how to use proven hunting techniques that work there.

ARCHERY HUNT – 4 Days/5 Nights $2,500

ARCHERY SEASON: August 15 to September 30

RIFLE HUNT – 3 Days/4 Nights $2,500

RIFLE SEASON: October 1-31

MEXICO #116

TIME NOW TO BOOK TROPHY BILLFISH ADVENTURE!

We at Hunt Nation love trying to discover new and largely untapped locations for sportsmen and sportswomen. And sometimes we can find some incredible bargains at the same time!! This is one of those rare chances --- an opportunity to experience superb close to shore blue water fishing- and do it in style but very economically to boot. We know this location will prove to be a great opportunity for our many clients to experience.

You are picked up at Ixtapa Zihuatanejo airport and driven directly to the lodge located on the ocean coastline a little over an hour away. You are in a remote location- no night life here, but relaxing while watching the sunset over a gorgeous beach, with drinks and friends and nursing sore muscle from wrestling big fish is enough. Remote--- meaning serious sport fishing vessels are hard pressed to travel far enough to reach these fishing grounds. It’s one of the reasons why Sport Fishing Magazine ranked this as the second-best area in the world for sailfishing. When you realize the vast areas available world-wide for catching sailfish- calling this place #2 in the world is astonishing! Because the deep blue water is so close to shore, using the 22-24’ local pangas to fish from is comfortable and very affordable!

Our own Hunt-Nation consultant Eddie Deuser took a group to check out this adventure last year and they landed 15 sailfish in three days. Everyone that went thought this place was a paradise. The homemade authentic Mexican cuisine was unbelievable! Other species found in these waters include: Black marlin, Dorado, Yellowfin Tuna, Jacks, Roosters, Snook and more!

RATES AND PACKAGES: (can be customized to fit your group) Includes: Guided Fishing; round trip airport transfers; all meals and drinks (excluding alcohol)
