We stalked from the moment we got out of the car until we were successful. Lots of game and excellent trophy quality. Wonderful guides, Ivan and Neil were both exceptional. I will be going back in May.

**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.**

We hunted with Juan and Lauren in early October 2025 after booking a 4-animal spiral-horn package. I am STILL excited a month later! This hunt was absolutely incredible! My initial package had included Waterbuck, Eland, Nyala, and Bushbuck. Additionally, we had expressed interest in taking Fallow Deer, Caracal, Bushpig, and Warthog. Ultimately, we took the Waterbuck, Nyala, Bushbuck, and Bushpig from the initial wishlist. We had solid opportunities at trophy Eland and Warthog, but weren't able to follow through. This was entirely on us and had nothing to do with the opportunities or trophy quality. Additionally, we were also able to take White Blesbuck, Black Springbuck, a gorgeous Lechwe and a Duiker when the opportunities for those animals presented. Juan and Lauren worked incredibly hard every single day to make sure that we had a world-class experience, and they succeeded across the board. The hunting was truly world-class. The accommodations at both concessions were incredible. The staff and lodge owners/managers were all very inviting. The meals were superb.......I am hopeful that I can hunt with them again in 2026. Thank you so much, LJ Safaris!

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.

Alfonso gave me exactly what I asked for. Authentic Sonora ranch food. We navigated the extensive network of roads daily in rough, raw mountains and dry washes. Glassed from high points and checked all the “tanks” or watering holes. We saw lots of does, spikes and fawns. We saw a shooter buck at least once a day. Armando, a young guide road in the back of the Hilux the last 3 days and increased the number of dear seen x3. Mario the ranch foreman was on top of my needs around the updated hunting hacienda. Miss Rosa was brought in to cook for us all so we could spend all are energy hunting. I loved staying out all day and having burritos heated on an impromptu mesquite fire for lunch.

Had a great time with the Zander & Charl Osmers as well as my PH, Johannes. Very organized, hardworking and fun to be with. I shot my bull the first morning with a 60-yard side brain shot. Plenty of elephants and other game animals. In addition to the elephant, I also shot five impalas (end of season remaining quota), three baboons and a zebra. Beautiful lodge, great accommodations, meals and staff.

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

The accommodations were great, the food was excellent and the hunting was great.

My son Tim and I had an outstanding mountain lion hunt with Ira as our outfitter/guide. I’ve followed hounds for decades, and the work shown by Ira’s dogs was some of the best I’ve ever witnessed. The country ranged from flat desert to rugged, rough terrain, making for a challenging and authentic hunt. Beyond the hunt itself, we were treated to excellent home-cooked meals prepared by Ira’s wife, Kyra, and enjoyed meeting their young boys. This was one of the easiest reviews I’ve ever written—it was a first-class experience all around, we’ll be going back again next year.

Highly professional. Amazing amount of game. Great service all day everyday by everyone involved. I messaged many other outfitters, some never responded, some did but price was very high. Marius responded very quickly, the price was right and in the end was by far the correct choice. Was in camp with 5 Canadians, we all took our selected animals and had time to hunt for more which i did and was successful. I took 5 animals, Impala,Blue Wildebeest,Gemsbuck,Kudu and Fallow Deer. Already looking at going back next spring for different animals. You will not be disappointed!
