Three day North America big game hunt ??? #11869215 03/02/17

OP RipSnort Campfire Tracker R Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 3,874	A busy doctor friend of mine, knowing I am in the safari business, asked if I could recommend a stateside big game hunt that he could do over a long weekend. Between his practice and his family, that is the longest time he could get away alone. It has been a long time since I hunted with any North American outfitters so I'm asking for ideas and names that I could pass along to my friend. He specifically wanted "a cabin, a fire, a rifle, and quiet". It would be just him on this trip. Suggestions appreciated. RS

I hunted them numerous times but my outfitter died on me. Suggest you contact a booking agent and tell him what you are looking for and let him make you an offer. I suspect that costs in northern states would be $2500 or so, or double that in some of the trophy areas in Az, NM. Last edited by dale06; 03/02/17. NRA Patron

Unless he's not picky, I'm guessing many could get him a mule deer or elk in 3 days (seperate trips) as well. Fly into SLC and be hunting in a few hours.

I went to Ontario twice, the second time with an outfitter that had dang near 100% shot opportunities for archers. Saw a grand total of one itty bitty bear in 13 total days of hunting. For more of a sure thing I'd be looking at far northern Saskatchewan, Alberta or New Brunswick. Those destinations will require more travel time than he can fit in over a long weekend. Another vote for antelope. The critters have to win every time, I only have to win once. www.swanspointoutfitters.com www.lazybar-t.com outfitters 65-43-22-5

Not exactly a cabin, but they've got a fireplace and everyone I've spoken to has been put on elk every day they hunted there. He could fly into Steamboat. Last edited by WyColoCowboy; 03/03/17.
