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.

Each of the 3 hunting groups had an opportunity to shoot a bull moose. After I shot my moose, we FULLY butchered it on site. That includes grinding and packaging all meat to leave the work very minimal when getting back home. Meals were incredible! I expected cheap meals being way out in the bush but instead we received meals you would expect from a white table cloth restaurant!

Nick Bowker and his staff are very professional and very good at what they do. The lodge, the food and the experience are excellent. I have hunted with Nick Bowker two times, and will go back again.

Camp Food Adventure

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!

The crew and their professionalism, nature, the hunt

The quality of the guides and food as well as accommodations are unmatched. I booked hunting trips both domestically as well as internationally. You would be hard-pressed to find a better outfitter period! The guides were hard-working and clearly worked hard to find all of the members of camp a bear. The methods were both semi guided in stands or blinds as well as predator calling bears. I truly can’t say enough positive things about this outfit. If you’re looking for a spring bear hunt, I would highly recommend this outfitter without reservation. Do yourself a favor and book this hunt now!

What a wonderful experience. Loads of game. Great opportunities for game. Wonderful food, excellent accommodations.

From the time Bennie picked me up from the airport the safari was everthing and more then what I was expecting. Great PH, tracker and staff, all very helpful and did what ever they could to make my trip great.

I like all what he did for me to have a good hunting it was amazing and also the cottage was warm nice and clean highly recommended
