Hunt Package

Winner's Name

Arizona Commissioner’s Coues Deer Tag

This is the big prize!  The winner of this tag will have the opportunity to hunt Coues deer on any public (or private with permission) lands statewide from August 15, 2010 until August 14, 2011.  Each year two, of these tags are auctioned to the highest bidder generally selling for around $30,000! There is no guiding service provided with this tag but there will be no shortage of options should the winner choose to employ an outfitter.  Though records are very incomplete, I would venture to say that there have been more B&C bucks killed in the last two years than in any other time in Arizona history.

Alberta Whitetail Deer

I first met Lee McNary of Alberta River Valley Lodge after some good friends hunted with him and his talented crew.  These guys talked non-stop about the quality of the bucks they killed, the lodging, and the beauty of Alberta.  Canada, specifically Alberta, is unquestionably the best destination for monster whitetails and Alberta River Valley has taken more than its share.

This hunt will be a 2x1 six-day rut hunt during mid-November 2011 from blinds, tree stands, or any method it takes to get you the biggest buck. This hunt is for the 2011 season but may be taken in 2010 if it works out for the winner and the outfitter. Alberta River Valley Lodge has tremendous success rates with bowhunters as well.  www.rivervalleylodge.com, 780-842-8622, hunting@rivervalleylodge.com

Mexico Mule Deer

Mexico has become the Mecca for monster mule deer. For over a decade now, Chad Smith of Vaquero Outfitters has been helping clients achieve their dream of taking a huge Sonoran mule deer. The lucky winner of this package will be hunting the same ranch on which Jason Gisi took the SCI world record typical with Vaquero Outfitters! This hunt will take place in January 2011. The winner is responsible for transportation to and from Hermosillo, Mexico.  Ranch house accommodations, meals, in-field transportation, tag and gun permits are included. www.vaquero-outfitters.com , 928-771-8153

Sitka Blacktail Deer

Kodiak Island may be the most picturesque place in North America and it also happens to be home to the biggest Sitka blacktail deer!   Dick and Sue Rohrer, along with their son Sam, of Rohrer Bear Camp will be your guides on this adventure.  The Rohrer family has been guiding on Kodiak Island since 1969 so there is not a bay, inlet, or stream that they don’t know about.  This hunt is for 2011 and can be booked for an August high alpine hunt or a November peak-of-the-rut hunt.  Hunters are responsible for transportation to and from Kodiak, Alaska and their Alaska deer tags. www.kodiakbearcamp.com, rohrerbear@alaska.com, 907-486-5835

Columbian Blacktail Deer

Northern California’s oak covered hills and miles of wine vineyards will make a beautiful backdrop for this blacktail hunt. Dale Soditus of Wildlife Out-West will be your guide as you hunt the 9,000 acre private ranch owned by the legendary Fetzer wine family.  Hunting on the ranch is strictly regulated to produce the highest quality bucks and offer the finest hunting experience. The winner is responsible for transportation to and from Covelo, California and for purchasing California deer tags. All lodging, meals, in-field transportation, meat and trophy care are provided.  Dale Soditus- 707-350-3399, dsconcrete@sbcglobal.net

The Perfect Deer Rifle

Well here is your chance to own the “perfect deer rifle”. Of course that is subject to interpretation but for this year and each year we are going offer our interpretation based on the hottest new products and time tested favorites.

This year’s rifle package starts with a Weatherby Sub-MOA rifle in 7mm Remington magnum. The barreled action is pillar bedded into a Fiber-guard synthetic stock and is guaranteed to shoot better than .99” at 100 yards (target provided).  The metal work is all black matte finished and topped with a Swarovski Z5 5-25x52 scope mounted with Talley rings and bases.  To have a custom rifle built that will match the performance of this package, you would have to spend in excess of $5,000!
