Photo Album | 2008 Season Highlights
For
twenty five years we've shared the rewards and excitement
of the hunt with many terrific people. Again this year, we were able to
make new friendships and renew old ones. We had another great season,
taking some fine trophies, but best of all, we made some wonderful
memories to reflect upon with our hunters. We are grateful for a
lifestyle that allows us to experience the change of seasons and
appreciate every sunrise and sunset. As always, we look forward with
great anticipation, to the opportunities and adventures that the coming
year will bring. We hope you can join us sometime soon!/p>
Please be sure to visit us at the Safari Club International
Convention in Reno, Nevada: January 20-23, 2010. We'll be in the lobby
area, Booth #L27./h5>

ERVIN PHIPPS of Elm City, NC, hunted long and hard with
us in January, taking this nice cat.
|
SUSAN TOUHY of Alpena, MI, harvested this great
antelope, on a beautiful September day on the Alberta prairie. Our
friend Susan has hunted with us a number of times and we were happy to
have her back.
|
GERRY CAMPBELL of Webster, NY, came to Alberta for his
first pronghorn antelope with Bill Wilson, a longtime friend and client
of ours. He harvested this fine specimen the first day.
|
BILL WILSON of Missoula, MT, harvested this nice
pronghorn buck on the fifth day of his hunt, which was also his
birthday. We celebrated with fine wine and fine friends that night (all
well aged)!
|
ALAN LAING of Phoenix, AZ, came on his second trip with
us, this time to hunt antelope before his moose hunt with his son
Brandon.
|
BRANDON LAING of Phoenix, AZ, took this nice bull moose
on the third morning of his hunt.
Brandon also hunted with us in 2007 taking
both a whitetail and muley buck, it was great to have him and his dad
in camp with us again!
|
ALAN LAING of Phoenix, AZ was thrilled to harvest this
beautiful bull moose a couple of days after his son Brandon (above).
|
COLIN LYONS of Kamloops, BC, came over to Alberta in
October looking for the opportunity to get his first antelope. He took
this exceptional pronghorn on the first morning.
He was also able to watch his friend Jim stalk and
shoot his buck a few days later.
|
JIM TURNER of Vancouver, BC, joined us and his friend
Colin to experience his first outfitted hunt. He was thrilled to
harvest this wide trophy buck with exceptional mass and great prongs
too.
|
UBALDO LOPEZ of Sonora, Mexico, came back to Alberta
with a big whitetail on his mind.The first big whitetail he saw gave
him the slip, but in the meantime, he was able to connect on this nice
wide Alberta mule deer.
This buck will share Ubaldo's trophy room with the
great muley (203 B&C) he got with us in 2005.
He used a .280 with 140 grain Barnes
X Triple Shock bullets.
Here's a video clip of Ubaldo hunting his trophy mule deer.
Ubaldo's dream of a giant Alberta whitetail became a
reality when he took this beautiful buck on the last day of his hunt.
The "upswept" tine off the right main beam, really gives this big buck
some added character.
He used a .30-06 with 165 grain Barnes
X Triple Shock bullets.
Ubaldo is a well known Outfitter
in Sonora, Mexico and a good friend.
|
JOSE RODRIGUEZ of Monterey, Mexico, connected on this
beautiful prairie muley the first day of his hunt.
Jose was using a .30-06 with 165 grain Barnes
X Triple Shock bullets.
|
ERVIN PHIPPS of Elm City, NC, took this tall 5 X 4
prairie Muley on his fourth mule deer hunt with us.
This buck will join the other three Ervin has taken
with us over the years, including his great Boone & Crockett record
book muley from his 2005
hunt.
|
DAN O'CONNOR of Greenwich, NY, was able to connect on
this high and heavy mule deer the first day of his hunt.
"Gnarly" defines this outstanding buck, a "one a kind"
trophy.
|
STEVE (Speedbiscuit) HYNES of Far Hills, NJ, took this
nice whitetail after a perfectly executed stalk on the very last day of
his hunt.
|
