Testimonial
“Just wanted you to
know how much we enjoyed our bear hunt with you this
year. Anytime a father can go hunting with his
three sons and watch each of them get a good brown
bear is great. Your guides were the best! Food was
great and we were treated like kings. You have a
first rate operation and if we get a chance to use
you again, we will. Thanks again for treating each
of us so well.” Gary
Mackelprang, Sr., UT
“This letter is to say thanks for a great Alaskan brown bear hunt. Although it may have been one of the quickest hunts anyone ever had, I know you had prepared all of the equipment and yourself for the duration if necessary. Spotting the bear and quickly getting me in position reflects how alert you stay. You are always mentally prepared for an opportunity. While setting-up and watching the oncoming bear, you gave me advice on shot placement and reaction of the bear, as well as a final evaluation as to the bear being a trophy or not. When you whistled to get the animal to pause I had the opportunity to make a perfect shot. Wow! Thanks for all your efforts and professionalism.”
