**Everything went perfectly. To understand how unique this horseback hunt truly is, you need to know a few details.** First of all, Dustin is running a huge company, which makes it even more impressive how quickly he responds to inquiries (as long as he has cell service – something that is far from guaranteed in the Yukon, and everyone should understand that). I was fortunate enough to be flown into base camp on a beautiful day. This was the starting point for our 9-day hunt, and there I met my guide and wrangler. Another team was also in camp at that time. The friendliness and professionalism of those guides were outstanding as well. For anyone worried about running into other hunters: this was the only contact, and we had absolutely no overlap during the hunt. From there we spent nine days in the wilderness. You may stay in tents, in small cabins, or – like in base camp – in a larger cabin. The incredible landscape and vastness of this hunting area are simply breathtaking. Traveling by horseback allows you to cover an impressive amount of country. I was lucky – though I believe this applies to all of Dustin’s guides – to be paired with a incredibly hardworking guide and wrangler. Being the last hunter of the season, I was amazed at how hard Tim and Mac were still working after 80 days in the backcountry. This alone gave me complete confidence in everything they did, and that trust is essential. Every hunter, especially European hunters, needs to let go of the idea that you will see game behind every corner. Only then can you enjoy the hunt from the very first day. This is true wilderness, and that affects wildlife behavior. All the more fascinating it is when you finally encounter a moose or another species. If you are fortunate enough to harvest a moose, you will be impressed by the professionalism that follows. From field dressing and quartering the animal, to packing it out, and eventually leaving camp (in my case a full trail-out) – everything was handled with absolute skill and care. It was a worthy ending to a true hunt of a lifetime. I can wholeheartedly recommend Dustin as an outfitter. One small piece of advice: to truly enjoy a horseback hunt, make sure to take a few riding lessons beforehand. **Thank you, Dustin, for making my lifelong dream come true.**

Als deutscher Jäger schreibe ich in Deutsch um hier bei den einheimischen Waidmännern etwas Werbung zu machen. Ich habe schon einige Jagdländer bereist und die außergewöhnlichsten Jagdreisen durchgeführt. Die Jagd hier in „Down Under“ bei Brendan gehört zu meinen Spitzenjagden. Brendan ist ein hervorragender PH. Er gibt sich auch mit dem gesamten Jagderlebnis ausgesprochen viel Mühe. Es passte einfach alles. Super Unterkunft in der kleinen Hütte, super Verpflegung, tolle Jagd, wahnsinnig viel Wild und eine tolle Trophäe. Absolut zu empfehlen und herausragendes Preis Leisungsverhältnis.

This is a very friendly camp that enjoys getting to know their hunters. They want success for their hunters as badly as the hunters want it.

Dirk, Isaac and Stetson were all top quality!! Their knowledge of the area and animals was fantastic!! Would highly recommend this outfitter for an awesome hunting experience!!!!

Had a great hunt with Bob! Missouri had a hot weekend for the rifle opener this year, which made it tough for everyone, but everyone still saw deer and at least one good buck. Half of us were tagged out with nice bucks by the second evening (myself included) I will be back!

For the great hospitality at the lodge . The food was as home cooked meals at its best! incredible game on this property was also hard to believe. I’m definitely returning for another hunt .

Oliver is an extremely professional, hard working and knowledgeable guide. I enjoyed every minute of the hunt! The area I was hunting had beautiful scenery and a lot of animals. Oliver knew the area very well and where we should concentrate our time to maximize success. I was able to take all 3 species I was after as well as learning a lot about thier habits and behaviour. A hunt of a lifetime!

Had a brilliant time with our guide Scotty, he was very accommodating and made sure we got up to plenty of other activities in amongst hunting. Accommodation and hospitality was great.

I am a hands on hunter and this made this the perfect hunt for me. The guides were there to make certain I got a good bull and help me on all the items I would have had difficulty myself. They had access to the land, helped find and identify good animals, knew the countryside, caped out the animals much better then I could have done and then helped pack out! Our whole group tagged out on good mature animals, 100% success only because of these guys help! I still got to help cut and haul meat, pack out hides, antlers. Very nice hunting style camp without all the glamorous accommodations some might want. I prefer this more rustic style of a camp that still had some comforts to assist with hard days of hunting. (kerosene heater, mattress in a shelter out of the wind, etc.) Don't expect to eat like a king. Cereal in the mornings, you make your sandwiches for lunch and then they make some awesome, simple stews for supper out of the animals you harvest. Plan on walking for miles, packing meat and cold weather. Don't worry about getting too cold though because we kept moving a lot! I am from Wyoming and am used to some cold so I took four layers and most of the time I only had on two. The sleeping quarters got warmed up before bed and then cooled as the night progressed so I enjoyed my zero degree bag (Fahrenheit). And then of course the hostel in town where Erik is willing to let you stay before and after your hunt is a very comfortable stay.

The crew and their professionalism, nature, the hunt
