**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.**

Hector and Gina have a wonderful staff and they were excellent at providing us the exact experience we were looking for. They tailored the hunts and locations so we were able to encounter large quantities of doves. You are only limited by time and number of shells you choose to purchase. Hospitality was excellent. Food was delicious and presented beautifully. Would definitely return here and recommend to our friends!

Animals are amazing. The property was gorgeous and had perfect mix of cover and open. Animals were difficult to hunt but the PH was a good tracker and got us on game multiple times. It was a true adventure and wonderful hunt experience for me and my daughter.

Jordan is professional, knowledgeable, and a fantastic host as well. He knows the terrain and the animals inside and out.

This entire hunt was amazing. Ryan worked Very hard to make sure we had a great time and were successful on everything we wanted to hunt. Lots of game and beautiful country. Staying in the hunters hut was great also. Relaxing with an awesome view.

The leopard lodge is beautiful, The staff from the bartender to the chef are very kind people. My Ph had alot of knowledge to share about the hunting and south africa. Highly recommend and will be returning myself.

My brother and I took our dad on a surprise elk hunting trip and chose to use Texas Wildlife. It was all of our first time elk hunting or hiring a guide. Matthew was knowledgeable, accommodating, and always prepared. He communicated well before the hunt, but didn't over promise. He answered all our many questions and we felt prepared when we arrived. The weather was too warm and the elk were not moving much. Matthew was able to adapt his hunting style every day to what was actually happening. He also took our input and adjusted setups to better fit our preferred hunting style. Matthew was great to talk to. It felt like we were hunting with a new best friend. All of Matthew's equipment, side by sides, etc was in great working order. The property he is guiding on is beautiful and a target rich environment. We saw many elk along with, mule deer, elk, and all kinds of bear sign. (Bear were in hibernation). We all 3 had multiple opportunities at elk and were able to all punch our tags with some time to spare. Even if we would have only harvested one elk we would have thought it was a successful trip. We went to Colorado to try out elk hunting and make some great memories. Matthew made sure we had an excellent trip. We couldn't have asked for anything more.
