BANG FOR THE BUCK: Given to the outfitter with unmatched fun for the price
Olympic Mt Outfitters : Mike Vaughn of Olympic Mt. outfitters has a great hunt for a great price not many people can get a semi-guided Roosevelt elk hunt for $1600. With a guide who is willing to far beyond what the definition of Semi-guided is. You eat like a king!, You see tons of Game! And have access to a lot of private land….

THE SLEEPER AWARD: given to the best outfitter in a state that you would not expect to have the trophy quality of the species we hunted and the overall experience based on our expectations.

High Prairie Lodge Dave Ciani of High Prairie Lodge and Outfitters is by far one of the best outfitters we ever hunted with ever! The only reason we didn’t give him THE MUST DO award is because his outfit being in South Dakota was more suited to win this award, because who would have know that South Dakota produces such big whitetail? Not Me! I have hunted in SD many times in fact its one of my favorite places for Mule deer and Antelope but I have been out there on 4 separate occasions for whitetail and have never seen the quality that I saw with Dave. And the best part is the accommodations were like sleeping in a fine bed and breakfast with your own personal attendants. All I can Say is FREAKING AWESOME!

THE MUST DO: Given to the outfitter who’s services exceed a score of 10 on all categories :

Sonoran Hunting Specialties: I’m not quite sure how they do it for such a good price, but Bob Sears of SHS has some of the best hunting in the country: whitetail, mule deer, Mt Lion, sheep and more and it wont break your piggy bank. Their ranch we stay at in Mexico with 4 star quality everything , and just an unbelievable experience I had probably and average of 5 stalks per day on 170”+ muleys and Pope and Young Coues deer, and that was it for me more then anything. I got to hunt my favorite two deer in my favorite type of country by my favorite method. And it didn’t hurt that I score an 85 7/8” Coues with my bow. (P&Y 67”) Best part About it he runs hunts in AZ, NM,TX and CO. all with the same value and quality. Email Bobby At
