"I've been on many mule deer hunts and harvested my biggest mule deer ever on this hunt with THA. As well as TV coverage through our North American Hunting Club TV series, I'll be writing a piece for NAHC Magazine that will recommend THA as a unique opportunity, especially for large mule deer and for combo hunts.I was blown away by the variety and numbers of wildlife we saw - mule deer, whitetails, black bear, moose, elk coyotes, many different birds. My guide was top notch - he's the kind of guy you could put anywhere with a client after any game and they would be successful. I really appreciate THA's attention to to detail. It really let me know what to expect and what was expected of me " Bill Miller, Executive Director, North American Media Group

This hunt was exactly what I was hoping for in a mule deer hunt. We worked hard
and had a great hunt. No outfitter I have hunted with has done a better job. When
I booked this hunt, I asked for 3 things: a guide who was very hard working, knew
the country like the back of his hand and who had fun hunting. I got all 3 plus
a monster 6x6 mule deer. Staying at Lucasia and hunting with Rusty as my guide

excellent and you took excellent care of us during the week. You can use me as

THA to my friends and other hunters. I will be back next year with a friend."
Roch S. - Thetford Mines, PQ "The
guides and quantity of game were excellent. Our guide was real good and knew what
he was doing. I'm proud of my moose. My dad's 42 1/2" moose was dead but
my 35" moose was deader. This hunt was lots of fun. I would be pleased to
be a THA reference." Justin S. - Chetek, WI "The
guides, Grandview Stage accommodations and transportation all were excellent.
We both got our moose on the second day of our hunt. This was my first outfitted
hunt and I got a 42 1/2" moose the second morning. I would recommend THA
to my friends and you can use me as a reference. I look forward to returning to
hunt with THA." Robbie S. - Chetek, WI "My
guide is the best I have had in the US and also in the east and west of Canada."
Charles T. - Tucson, AZ "I had an excellent

There was plenty of game and I would be pleased to recommend THA and be a THA
reference." Allen W. - Springfield, LA "Everything
was excellent. I got a serious mule deer and a 145 class whitetail. The hunt was

was good." Chad W. - Springfield, LA "Everything
was excellent. Great guide, great hosts (Dale & Eileen), great food. The hunt
was exactly as promised and I got a great mule deer. This is my 2nd hunt with
THA and I've harvested 2 fine mule deer. I would recommend THA to my friends and

& ethics of the guides were excellent. Accommodations & food were also
excellent." Pat W. - Dillsboro, IN "This
was my 2nd consecutive mule deer hunt with THA and again the quality and quantity
of muleys were both excellent. Everything about my hunt was excellent and I would
recommend THA and its mule deer hunts to anyone who is considering a spot and
stalk hunt for big mule deer. The hunt was exactly as purported in pre-hunt communications
and we saw huge amounts of mule deer. I would be pleased to be a THA reference."

Comments from Previous Years "A
close encounter with a moose will be remembered forever." Vince A. - Monte
Vista, CO "Excellent camp, cook & guides.
Would like to come again." Dave A. - Leawood, KS "Jason
is an excellent guide and very easy to get along with. He is very knowledgable
of the hunting area. The camp was exceptionally well run and Gram and Fred cooked
great meals and ran a tidy camp. Rick and Brian (the other 2 guides in this 4
hunter camp) were funny - joking and laughing - which made camp a very pleasant
place to stay. I had a wonderful time on my first guided hunt. I took my first
moose and the largest mule deer that I have ever seen. In total, I saw 10 bull
moose including my harvest. I also saw a huge whitetail and two smaller whitetails
including a 160+ and a 150.I would be happy to chat with other hunters about the
wonderful experience I had." Ernest A.. - Richland, WA "I
loved it here in Alberta." Darren A. - Lawton, MI "Excellent
memories." Brent B. - Gowen, MI "Mule
deer hunting was great! I harvested a whitetail and a great mule deer (187 6/8).
Devon is a very good guide, both for knowledge of the area and in assessing the
hunter's abilities and desires. I'm very satisfied. " Ron B. - Anchorage,
AK "Barry
& Stu were very competent and great in camp. They were very accommodating.
Barry is a top-notch guide and runs a fine camp. Barry and Stu are both excellent
and very professional. THA runs a great business." Scott B. - Bailey Meadow,
MI " Thank you for making my recent
mule deer hunt in Alberta a success. It was certainly a most enjoyable hunting
experience. I was impressed and appreciative of your efforts to ensure a successful
and pleasant hunt form start to finish. You definitely have a first class operation
in every aspect. I will recommend you to other hunters without any hesitation
whatsoever. Thank you again for the opportunity to hunt with Trophy Hunters Alberta,
"the best of best." . You have very good people and everyone worked hard to make
sure I had an enjoyable hunt. The quantity and quality of mule deer along with
competent guides and excellent accommodations at Lucasia Ranch made this a first
class hunt." Gary B. - Payson, AZ "Good
moose hunt - I got my moose! Both guides worked very hard to find us game. Three
brothers, three moose - good hunt!" Dick B. - Hollis, NH "Got
my moose! Great hunt - excellent guides, food & accommodations." Joe B. -
Pinehurst, NC "TravelCanada.to took
care of all our travel needs in a timely and professional manner. They kept us
informed of flight changes and helped us with additional travel requirements.
Franklin & Byron are excellent guides. They know the area and the ranchers and
have 'eagle eyes' for finding game. Three brothers & three moose in 4 days. I
passed on 2 legal, but smaller bulls. This was the best camp I have stayed in
for the last 20 years for guides and food. Guides went 'above and beyond' to find
us game." Tom B. - Trenton, NJ "This
was an outstanding hunt that far exceeded my expectations! Peter & Tyler certainly
do not oversell their hunts. I really appreciate an outfitter who under-promises
and over-achieves. I saw hundreds of muleys including many different bucks. My
mule deer scored over 200 B&C points. Before my hunt, I contacted several
of THA's references and read their testimonials. I went on a THA hunt. The references
are indeed true. Everyone was fun to be with - the Brills, the guides, the taxidermist,
the other customers. Also, everything went smoothly. I will return next year."
James B. - Fairbanks, AK "As usual
with THA, everything was excellent. I'll be back." James B. - Fairbanks,
AK "Great hunt - lots of action and
fun. The guides are excellent people and are outstanding and very hard working.
Food and accommodations were excellent. Guide quote = I've got a blind guy and
a cripple, but they sure can shoot." Norman B. - Belgrade, ME "We
felt fortunate to have Dave in camp - we both rate him very high. Weather was
very warm, causing the animals to remain mostly nocturnal. No one's fault - that's
hunting! Qualified guide - knowledgeable about the area. Saw over 40 moose. I
learned a tremendous amount about moose from our guide. Our guide, Harley, was
a breath of fresh air to hunt with - very competent. I will hunt with him again.
Calgary and the surrounding area are absolutely beautiful and refreshing to come
to. I like the people up here very much. Great trip! I was very pleased with my
140 Pope & Young mule deer in perfect velvet." Roy B. - San Diego, CA "Frank
is a good guide, all-around good guy - great attitude." Jim B. - Hemlock,
MI "Brian is very knowledgeable
& experienced, knows the area like the back of his hand & he's an A+ person. Brian

of excellent guide. Very nice person to visit with." Bob B. - Mansfield,

think our guides went out of their way to try and move game our way. They actually
went the extra mile." Aaron B. - Loveland, CO "Excellent
care and company from guides and other hunters in camp. I would not change a thing
about how things went in the field. This was the experience of a lifetime. The
dreams of my life came true. The guides and staff have a true passion and love
for what they do. I've never met people who care for the outdoors as much as these
guys. I learned more knowledge about the outdoors in one week than I have in my
lifetime." Greg B. - Marriottsville, MI "Lots
of bucks to choose from. I had a great time! Everything was exactly as stated
in pre-hunt communications. The hospitality was wonderful. I'll be back."

Chad B. - Oroville, CA "Four hunters,
four great mule deer. Thank you." Ken B. - Oroville, CA "Great
people, great fun. Excellent game, big game, beautiful scenery. Tough hunt & great
fun - missed 150 class whitetail. Keely is an outstanding guide. He gave me 2
chances at 150 class whitetail bucks and I missed them, but I had the best hunt
of my life. I must have seen 200 whitetail deer and 12 mule deer bucks as well.
Thank you!" Mark C. - Forest Lake, MN "Gary
put me on a nice bull moose and I blew the shot. Gary went out of his way trying
to get me a bull moose. Gary is an excellent guide & a lot of fun to joke around
with in camp and while hunting. Ed did an excellent job cooking - I probably gained
10 pounds. Ed is a super guy - he went overboard stuffing me with food and treating
me like a king around camp." Tom C. - Scipio, IN "I
shot a 52" moose! The guides worked very hard to retrieve it as it was in
a near impossible place. These were the best guides that I have ever had - they
were excellent. I would recommend THA and you can use me as a reference."
Dan C. - Hurley, SD "Everything was
outstanding about this archery elk hunt. We saw bulls every day except one and
that day we could hear them. There were two of us in camp bow hunting for elk
and we both harvested fine bulls. I would pleased to provide a reference to any
prospective THA hunter." Pete C. - Hot Springs, AR "This
was the best hunt of my life! Thank you. I am very proud of my 350 class P&Y
archery elk." Roger C. - Alpha, NJ "I
had a very enjoyable time hunting and I thought our guide tried very hard and
I appreciated everything he did for us. He is an excellent horseman and I consider
him a very good friend now. I would want him as my guide next time - he makes
the hunt. Even though I didn't get any game, I enjoyed the time spent with your
outfit and everyone was great. Thanks for the great time I had on my hunt - I've
got lots of pictures and video - Good memories. Would like to hunt with you guys
again - until then, take care and enjoy that wonderful Alberta that you have out
there." Dawson C. - Jackson, MI "After
9 hunts with other outfitters, I finally got my moose and a huge one at that!
Thank you THA. Everyting was excellent and the hunt was as purported." David
C. - Leechburg, PA "My
first mule deer at 150 class gross 4x4 was everything I wanted. The Brill's told
me the truth about what to expect, my guide, Brett, was wonderful, his parents,
Wayne & Judy, were great and my fellow hunters were also great. Everything
was excellent. Thank you from my heart. Thank you!" Jeff C. - Mogadore, OH "Everything
was outstanding with respect to my hunt. We saw in excess of 300 mule deer, whitetails
and coyotes in 3 days. This is a game rich environment with plenty of opportunity.
Randy worked hard to put me on the game and to find my mule deer trophy. The hunt
was everything I was told it would be and then some. The people were prompt, friendly
and went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. I want to return and again
have Randy as my guide. I would be pleased to be a reference for THA." Wayne
C. - Clarksville, TN "Camp hosts were
great and the guides did an excellent job. I would highly recommend the guides.
They were a lot of fun during the hunt and in camp." Bob C. - Garden Valley,
ID "Everything
was excellent. The guides were great and the food was excellent. two hunters got
two moose. We want the same guides next time." Brian C. - Newcastle, WY "Best
accommodations and food of any hunt I've been on. Hardest working guides you could
find. They were very concerned for the hunter in getting game. They were as enthused
as the hunter when an animal was harvested. Would recommend to my friends! The
best of the best! " Vince C. - Posen, MI "Mule
deer hunting was great and the guide was outstanding. I was pleased to harvest
my first buck." Doug C. - Fairfax Station, VA "There
seemed to be an endless amount of deer. We saw mule deer, moose & elk. I saw
more game than I have ever seen in the States. The guides were very professional
and knew the area exceptionally well. Dale is an excellent guide who knows where
the big bucks are. He knows the terrain and accommodated all of our requests.
His extra hospitality was exceptional. I will definitely be back - it was an awesome
experience that I will never forget." Carl D. - Independence, CA "Above
& beyond - whatever it takes! From God! Frank is a complement to the hunter race.
Have hunted all over the world and would go to the top of the mountain with Frank
anytime. Hunt was hard - I will be back! Thank you Peter Brill - you did make
a dream come true." Bob D. - Terrell, TX "I
wish I had the hunt for my deer on film. A morning of hunting the hills and evaluating
lots of antlers. An hour of evaluating my 'high and wide' deer, picturing him
on the wall, and planning a stalk. An hour of stalking to within range. Finally,
after they winded us, a kill sequence better than any I have seen on video! If
you don't believe me, ask Cody. The hunt was awesome!!! Saw lots of mule deer
and whitetails and obviously found a keeper! I would request Cody again. Accommodations
were excellent and could not have been better. Philip's ranch was awesome. He
was excellent company and a pleasure to be around. The butcher did such a great
job; I am running out of everything. The bottom line Peter is I loved my experience.
I am very happy with, and proud of my deer. The people I met were great. I would
love to come back." Ron D. - Mission Viejo, CA "Guides,
accommodations, food and hospitality were outstanding. The guides were with us
100% of their waking hours and knew the areas and game travel routes extremely
well. The family welcomed us as one of their own. This was by far the most successful
and enjoyable of the 10 guided hunts I have taken in the USA and Canada. This
hunt was the best of the best! Brett and Wes, our two guides, were outstanding."
Pete D. - Posen, MI "Great hunt,
great guide & friendly people. THA is a great Outfitter with wonderful guides,
very good accommodations and gourmet food. Trophy Hunters Alberta has a #1 operation."
Jose D. - Cinnaminson, NJ "A special
thanks to Ann & Vic who kept the campfires burning and our bellies full. I'm glad
we had a chance to spend time together. Vic was awesome retrieving the mighty
moose at all hours of the night. Keely has a very special knack of just being
a great guide. You have a great organization & business should prosper. Staff
was good to excellent as was equipment. Peter: you really do have an outstanding
group and I feel that Dave & Keely are the kingpins. I will promote your business
to the utmost. Again, thanks for a wonderful week, but even more important, thanks
to Peter, Dave, Keely, Vic, Ann & Frank for being such nice people to be around."
Gary D. - Youngstown, OH "Carol
did an excellent job cooking. Our guide is in a class by himself." Dale D.
- Farmington Hills, MI "I really appreciate
the hospitality shown us by Gail, Bob & their daughter - made us feel at home
& food was great. Frank worked real hard and was enjoyable to be with. Also, he's
a good hunter. Phillip's ranch house - 5-star." Wayne D. - Fincastle, VA "Carol
is a great cook. Our guide was excellent. He must be part billy goat because of
the speed he goes up & down those mountains! The quads were very helpful."

come again." Bob D. - Avonmore, PA "Bernie

got an excellent mule deer that far exceeded my expectations! Wes is an excellent
guide. He knows the area and where the deer are. We hunted hard and ended up getting

deer. Wayne and Judy are excellent hosts and made us feel right at home on their
ranch. Accommodations and food were excellent! " Paul E. - Sanford, ME "Mule
deer hunt was excellent. Cody has a great knowledge of the land and deer activity.

unsuccessful, I had a great time. I will book for next year!" Bill E. - Anaconda,

& Bob were great. I would highly recommend Big Coulee Ranch for mule deer."
Rob F. - Tega Cay, SC "Eric and Chris
were top notch. I would hunt with either of them again. I would recommend THA
to my friends and would be pleased to be a reference. I hope to hunt with THA
again in the future. Without a doubt, this was the best, and most challenging,
hunt I have been on." Paul F. - Sifton, TX "Guides
were excellent and I very much enjoyed my time in Alberta. THA is the most businesslike
and professional operation that I have ever worked with. Accommodations, food
and hospitality were beyond expectations. Also, I really enjoyed the other 3 hunters
in camp. I would recommend this outfitter to anyone! The hunt was very well explained
to me and transpired exactly as indicated - very professional. THA, in combination
with Lucasia Ranch, is such a professional operation that I would wholeheartedly
recommend THA to my friends. A great time was had throughout this hunt. Working
for SCI, I have complete confidence in acting as a reference for THA. This was
my first time hunting mule deer and I can only describe my overall experience
as a phenomenal hunt. I would highly recommend THA to anyone." Oliver
F. (SCI Writer), Minden, ON "The amount
of game was great. We saw approximately 25 moose! You could not ask for a better
guide. Lloyd is very professional and his knowledge/experience is outstanding.

hunt!!. Many thanks for a memorable hunt." Royce F. - Marysville, WA "Beautiful
country & great people. Frank was 5-star! Aye!" Mike F. - Terrell, TX "Great
hunt! Guides were great! Wayne & Judy were great! This was a wonderful hunt"
Tom F. - Damascus, PA "Cody is an excellent
guide and the mule deer hunt was 'as advertised'. Cody has access to quality land
that has many fine muleys and negligible hunting pressure. Cody knows that land
& is a professional mule deer guide - first class! He knows where the deer
are & where they will be when pushed & he is solely interested in your
satisfaction - a great guide and a great person. All promises were kept and the
hype was lived up to. I have nothing but good to say about Cody and our mule deer
hunt. THA is a first class outfitter from start to finish. All the details were
covered." Joe G. - Weimar, CA "Your
dedication to Customer Satisfaction is unparalleled in the outfitting industry.
Your handling of my whitetail difficulties was incredible: you listened carefully
to my issues and mediated the problem without pointing the finger or assigning
blame. Your actions have proven that Trophy Hunters Alberta and Peter Brill are
of the highest professional caliber." Joe G. - Weimar, CA "My
guide, Wes, was experienced and professional. I would select him for my next hunt.
Wes is a very good woodsman and hunter." Larry G. - Sequim, WA "Dale

I had a hell of a guide who worked his guts out to get me my deer." Chip H.
- Dumas, AR "Wes' knowledge and relentlessness
is outstanding. He knows where the game is and how to get at them. His ability
to stock bucks is incredible. Flint was a very capable and pleasant guide who
was very willing and able and would do anything. Both guides were very knowledgeable
and hard working. The hunt was a success as we saw over 100 mule deer each day
including several bucks. I'm very happy with my 180 class buck. You promised fun
and we certainly had fun. I think you are selling the hunt about right in terms
of realistic expectations. Overall it was a great experience. There was a straightforward
and honest sale of the hunt. The guides were exceptional. Accommodation at Fay's
was great and Fay & Reid are fine hosts." Gary H. - Belgrade, ME "Weather
was great, country was perfect. Bernie, Barb & Stan deserve a big thanks. They

see you again next year." William H. - Geneva, OH "The
guide's competence was the best I've had in 4 guided hunts and the food was the
best I've had in any camp. Rick knows the area and game and he works hard to ensure
hunter is successful. He is an excellent guide. He is level headed, knows the
area and understands hunter's needs. All guides in camp were great. The camp hosts,
Fred & Myrtle, are excellent and made us feel like we were part of the family.
They are excellent choices for camp cooks/hosts. Everyone in camp went out of
their way to ensure all 4 hunters were comfortable. I saw 5 bull moose including
my harvest, 4 big whitetails, including a 170, two 160s and a 150 and 3 big mule
deer including a 180 and a couple of 140s." Ken H. - Manson, WA "I

Lucas is one of a kind!! Energy level amazing!! Wes is also an outstanding guide."
Robert K. - Orange, CA "Brett Lucas
is the best - Brett & Wes worked harder than any other guides I have had the
privilege to hunt with. I have fished and hunted from Alaska to Paraguay and consider
our experience at Lucasia Ranch to be the best. Our guides, Brett & Wes were
top notch. Our hosts, the Lucas family, were the best and our guides were first
class absolutely. The snow makes it tough but brings out the game. I travel a
lot and would love to come back. My mule deer scored over 185 B&C." Russ

incredible hunt with a great local guide. THA is without doubt the best outfitter
that I have ever hunted with. Everything was first class. Thanks again for a great

animal, and a fine hunt. This hunt was everything you said it would be and much
more. Thank you." Christian M. - Baton Rouge, LA "Chad
and his camp would be hard to beat. Their knowledge and effort was outstanding.

in all aspects of my successful hunt. I would be pleased to act as a reference
for THA." Merrill M. - Milton, DE "Lots

mule deer that I saw. There were big bucks everywhere! Special thanks to the Lucas

They offer one of the best mule deer hunts money can buy. Overall, A am extremely
happy with my hunt. I met very nice people and saw some very beautiful country.
Your guides are 'Hunting Fools' - Great job. My guide Devon is as good as they
could possibly get. This was hunting at its best. Anyone interested in a reference
can call me anytime. I am definitely coming back next year." Angel M. - Tooele,
UT "187 class whitetail is a buck of
a lifetime. I owe everything to my guide. Our guides and accommodations made the
hunt. It would have been just as much fun if we had not killed anything." Keith
M. - Posen, MI "Frank was an excellent
guide. He had an uncanny ability to locate & stalk game. His knowledge of the
area was excellent. He provided us with more 'quality' shooting opportunities
than we had hoped for. We saw in excess of 300 mule deer and 200 whitetails. UNBELIEVABLE!
We will return and would request Frank as our guide. We had more fun on this hunt
than any other previous guided hunt." Gary & Tom M. - Milford, MI "Excellent
mule deer, excellent accommodation and excellent guides made for a great hunt.
I will recommend THA to my friends and would be pleased to act as a THA reference.
We look forward to returning to hunt with THA." Scott N. - St. Augustine,
FL "The game was very impressive. The
guides were great - always interested in how the hunters were doing. The guides
always had a very positive attitude and 'pressed on'. Wes, Flint, Fay & Reid
made the trip a memorable experience. Guides were very knowledgeable of game available
and the private ranches we hunted. Fay's meals, accommodation & personality
were superb. Hospitality of everyone made the trip A+. I had a great time."
Frank N. - Cato, NY "My bison hunt
was excellent! Job well done. Although the bison hunt was guaranteed, it was still
a true hunting experience. Dennis is a true gentleman with a genuine concern for
his guests and his animals. It is so seldom you meet people of his character.
It's hard to improve on perfection. We'll see you in November." Brian O. -
Nanaimo, BC "Excellent guides - gave
their all! Good food - good people. Cook was excellent. Guides were excellent,
accommodations were great & I had a great time." Bob O. - Muskegon, MI "Guides
are competent, smart, savvy and fun. They have it together. They know their sh**.
Excellent guides. Top rate. Great time. The food is fantastic." Dan O. - Muskegon,
MI "Extremely happy that my father
got a moose. In fact all 3 of us got a moose! Accommodations were excellent. Mrs.
Ross was great to be around and her cooking was excellent. Hunted 5 ½ days with
fun & knowledgeable guides. We were 3 for 3 on moose! I have a lifetime of memories
of this hunt with my father & brother. Make sure you keep Franklin and Byron on
your team - two of the best young guides ever. They were also fun to be with.
Mrs. Ross was an excellent hostess & letting us come into her home was appreciated.
I can't say enough good things about Franklin, Byron and Carol." Jason O.
- Muskegon, MI "Great hunt. Food was
excellent." Dominic O. - Ireland "Bernie
was an excellent & fun guide. Good organization." Dale O. - Buffalo, MN "Keely,
his mom Ann and dad Vic made this hunt. Great people who truly care about you
as a person, not just as a paying client. I feel we have made new friends in meeting
them. The hunt coordination, guide and cook were great!" Gerald O. - Salem,
OR "Good hunt! Everybody went the extra
mile. Keely was extremely complete and competent. He definitely went the extra
and gave his all." Marc O. - Des Moines, IA "Had
a great time - excellent Outfitter and quality services. This was an excellent
hunt and I intend to return, hopefully next year. Keep up the good work!" Adrian
P. - Cow Head, NF "My experience in
the hunting camp was great. The guides are very professional and willing to go
the extra mile. Everyone was pleasant and fun to be around. Camp cook was exceptional
and very accommodating - I'm sure I gained weight." Debra P. - Portales,
NM "Guide and cook made me feel right
at home. The guides are excellent, personable and try to please." Steve P.
- Portales, NM "Lucasia Ranch guides
are the hardest working guides I have ever had. Wes and Junior did an incredible
job. They worked harder than anyone I know." Joe P. - Redwood
City, CA "We got some nice bucks
because our guides worked hard. Great walking, great food and the nicest family
as hosts." Nino P. - Redwood City, CA "I
had a great time with some good people - great hunt." Pete P.
- Redwood City, CA "Given
that the elk had not started bugling yet, I think Wes did all he could to get
us some opportunities - very conscientious. THA is a very well run organization.
" Hank P. - Eureka, Ca "Magnificent
country. I had a geart experience even though I did not get a deer. Had fun. My
overall experience was strongly positive and Jeff and I have already booked to
return next year." Joseph P. - Florence, SC "I
got my whitetail this year - best ever. Everything was excellent. I would recommend
THA to my friends, act as a reference and when I come back to Alberta, will book
again with THA." Joseph P. - Florence, SC "Dave,
our guide, did a good job taking charge of the animal with gutting, skinning,
etc. Accommodations were great. Linda, our cook, was fantastic. Food was always
ready on time, very presentable. We could not ask for better food or menu. Dave
was always prepared for our hunt with equipment and hunted hard. He is a good
person. Our guide, Frank, was enjoyable to hunt with. He is aggressive, positive
and overall well experienced with the parameters of big game hunting. I hope to
hunt with Frank again. Thanks!" Mike P. - Saranac, MI "This
was the most exciting hunt of my life. I got both a whitetail and a mule deer.
The hunt was everything that you said it would be - the scenery was incredible
and the country and overall experience even outweighed the two kills. The guide
was informative, knowledgeable, knew where the game was and was with me the whole
time. I am completely satisfied and would recommend you guys to anybody. I had
a wonderful time." Keith P. - Sidney, KY "I
had a very enjoyable hunt. THA is a very professional Outfitter. I will recommend
THA to all my hunting friends. If I return to Alberta, I will book with THA. THA
is a very professional outfitting service." John P. - Romulus, MI "Backara!
The guides were great and the hosts were wonderful. Excellent guides, accommodations
and field support from THA." David P. - Jonesborough, TN "These
guides are as good as it gets. Great knowledge - excellent!. The conditions were
excellent and the people as hospitable as anyone I've ever met. The terrain was
tough but was as expected. I would recommend these guides to all of my friends
and would be pleased to be a reference." Terry R. - Midlothian, TX "Great
guides. Excellent hunt!." Billy R. - Lewisville, TX "Beautiful
scenery. Make sure you're in shape." Mike R. - Hot Springs, AR "I
felt the guide went beyond the call of duty to find game. I enjoyed this hunt
very much." Ace R. - Mayfield, UT "We
were within 100 yards of every moose that we saw. Most of the deer were also close.
Everything was excellent. Moose are big ay!" Robert
R. - Eugene, OR "We
had an excellent time. I could have had a bow shot at a bull but was undecided
as to whether it was a clear shot, so I didn't shoot. I didn't get a moose with
my bopw, but the trip alone was worth it. We saw bull moose and had a chance.
THA is excellent - I don't see much room for improvement." Wayne R. - Myrtle
Creek, OR "The hunt was great and the
guides were great to work with." Jimmy R. - Degoto, TX "Mule

put up with all our quirks. The guides were very well prepared. The food and company
was well worth the trip." Tracy R. - Bella Vista, CA "Pre-hunt
communications were excellent! References can call me anytime. Gary's effort was
excellent. Thank you for a nice trip. I had a very good time. Your team members
are a good bunch of guys. The knife was a nice gift. Thank you." John R. -
Bella Vista, CA "Great guides. Had
a great time! A lot better than my Newfoundland hunt." Don S. - Mansfield,

country was beautiful. Brett was great to hunt with and I appreciated his respect
and enjoyment of Bow Hunting." Al S. - Whitefish, MT "Brian
is an excellent guide and very likable person. He did much more than expected
and worked very hard to find deer. It was the best guided hunt I have been on,
because Brian made it fun. I really did enjoy myself. It was a pleasure to hunt
with an experienced guide with excellent knowledge and a great attitude. The camp
was clean and the H. family was a pleasure to meet." Gene S. - San Jose, CA "The
ranch was great. I had a lot of fun and will come back again next year to hunt
with Cody. I had a great hunt & saw a lot of deer and got the largest one that
Cody knew of in the area. Cody did a great job of finding the deer and knowing
what draw he would be in. I would be more than happy to talk to anybody about
my hunt. I had a great time. Cody, Bob, Gail, Phil - everybody went out of their
way to make sure my hunt was good." Shannon S. - Farina, IL "Wes
is great! Wes is great! Wes is great! Everything was excellent.." Brett S.

- lots of fun. Enjoyed every day of hunt." John S. - Mansfield, OH "Brett
and Wes know hunting and have great people skills." George S. - Wisconsin
Dells, WI "THA has a great infrastructure
- everything is right. There was lots of game - 80 to 100 mule deer a day. The
Hunt was as described and I have a great relationship with THA. I've already booked
for next year and will bring a friend. I would be pleased to be a reference. This
was a top-notch wonderful hunt. THA took care of us as soon as we were in Calgary
and during the week the outfitter was in our camp for one day and with us when
we were hunting. I appreciated the hands-on care and attention. My guide, Devon,
was very good. I particularly like the fact that you operate lots of small camps
instead of one or two large ones. It was like a private hunt. THA has a very good
operation." Roch St-L.. - Robertsonville, Quebec "You
know you're in moose country when you have moose tracks 30 feet from your first
morning call and within 200 yards of camp." Alan S. - Natrona Heights, PA "We
saw hundreds of mule deer and no other hunters. We will be back with Cody again
and intend to rebook before the end of the year." John & Lawrence S. -
Wallington, NJ "Good people, great
country, no pressure." Wayne S. - St. Louis, MO "Outstanding
scenery! The Lucasia Ranch personnel are super-high grade." Tom S. - Herndon,
VA "Everything was excellent. The most
frequent quote was "Do you need anything?" One of our guides was a Minister
who said: "May Boss make great stuff!" There were two of us in camp
archery hunting for elk and we both harvested bull elk with our bows. We saw lots
of elk, including numerous bulls. I would be pleased to provide a reference on
our wonderful hunt." Chuck S. - West Barnstadle, MA "Passed
on a 140 and a 150 whitetail and mule deer early in the week. 100% success - harvested
2 deer. Hunt of a lifetime! Already booked for next year. Trip of a lifetime -
great guide!" Bernard T. - Prentiss, MS "Shoot
the first respectable animal you see. This way, you know you'll go home happy.
Not everybody gets a book deer. Only 1 Alberta deer in 750 makes the book, versus
1 per million in North America. Alberta improves your odds of a true trophy immensely."
Glenn T. - Paynesville, MN "Saw many
animals & had lots of chances on smaller animals. Saw some trophies. Guide did
a great job getting me close - you still have to be lucky! - That's hunting. Saw
lots of quality and quantity of animals. Very impressed with my guide Frank. Kim,
his wife, is an A-1 cook!" Terry T. - Jackson, MS "The
hunting is real hunting, not manufactured." Alan T. - England "Good
hunt, good people and excellent food. Good quality guides who are knowledgable
of the area and hunting. Hiked our buts off, but it was worth it. For an inexperienced
hunter, everyone was most helpful." Tim V. - Waxahachie, TX "My
guide Kurt is a fantastic human being. Very few people in my lifetime have I met
and respected as much as this individual. I feel that the benefit I acquired by
being around this man is invaluable. Kurt guided me on a fantastic hunt on a great
mule deer kill that I will never forget. I think THA's best asset is Kurt." Jaime
V. - Garland, TX "Mule deer hunting
was outstanding. This hunt was definitely 'worth the price of admission'. This
region should be advertised for trophy muleys. This was a great hunt and I had
a blast. Thank you for a great experience. I will recommend THA to my friends
and you can use me as a reference." Lew V. - Quantico, VA "Mule
deer hunting is unbelievable! This was a wonderful experience and the best hunt
of my life." Chris V. - San Antonio, TX "I've
made 10 big game hunts out of Texas. This was my best yet! Christopher and I really
enjoyed our hunt. Terry, Norm and Sue made our hunt a great experience. Mule deer
were abundant." Robert V. - Buda, TX "Mule
deer was everything you predicted." Chris V. - Damascus, PA "I
enjoyed my hunt immensely." Fred W. - Winsted, CT "Overall,
I was well satisfied with the hunt. The food was top notch and the cook supportive.
Weather was too good at first, however, I am happy with my moose." Jeff W.
- Albuquerque, NM "The guides were
exceptional. The ranch family were great" Robert W. - Spring, TX "My
muley scored 197 3/8 and I look forward to returning next year. THA is the most
professional outfitter that I have ever hunted with and the local guides are as
good as they get. This hunt far exceeded my expectations." Don W. - Kuna,
ID "This was the most fun and most
successful hunt that I have ever been on. I harvested a 183 7/8
mule deer - WOW!!! This is an exceptional hunt that I would recommend to any serious
hunter. I will recommend THA to my friends and would be pleased to be a THA reference."
Dayne W. - Bryant, SD "My
second hunt with THA. Wes Comstock is the man! Faye & Ried are top notch.
THA success is highly reliant on the hospitality of the accommodations and the
willingness of the guides to work very hard. This is my 2nd THA hunt. Last year,
I harvested a 183 7/8 mule deer and this year, I harvested a 185 class muley."
Dayne W. - Bryant, SD "Wes
Comstock is very good! He is the best guide I have ever had! He made my hunt very
enjoyable. Thanks Wes!." Wayne W. - Bryant, SD "I
am very pleased with my mule deer hunt - I couldn't have been more satisfied.
My muley scored 197 5/8 - we put him to bed at night and got him first thing the
next morning. Everyone treated me like family. One of the local ranchers even
invited us in for lunch. Everything was excellent - the guides were very knowledgable
and the accommodations were beyond expectations. THA is the best outfitter there
is - the one I would recommend to anybody." Don W. - Kuna, ID "See
you next year. Bill & I will hunt elk." Saul W. - Anaconda, MT "Beautiful
scenery - good quantity of game. Rough, hard terrain to hunt, but lots of fun.
Hard work paid off. Missed some big bucks. Saw all kinds of different kinds of
game animals. I will spread the word. Would like to book elk, mule deer trip with
Keely. If for no other reason, come to Alberta for the scenery. I really enjoyed
my Alberta experience. It was the hardest I've ever hunted and the most enjoyable.
I saw so much wildlife I've never seen before. Our guide was second to none. He
knows the area and the game. I am hoping to return." Kurt W. - Woodbury, MN "Everything
was outstanding! I would certainly welcome a reference. Nothing's safe - I had
one of the best hunts of my life! Two archery kills - a 195 whitetail and a 150
mule deer. I've hunted all over the world and rate THA as the best outfitter with
the best guides that I have ever encountered. Book me for next year!" (4th consecutive
hunt with THA). Tim W. - Canton, IL "THA
is without a doubt the best outfitter I have ever encountered. I have hunted all
over the US and in Africa, South America, New Zealand and Mexico and THA is the
only outfitter that I have returned to. This was my 7th consecutive hunt with
THA and I am already booked again for next year. In my 7 hunts with THA, I have
been fortunate to have harvested 10 P&Y animals." Tim W. - Canton, IL "Thanks
for your help arranging the trip to Canada & for one of the greatest times I have
ever had hunting. I enjoyed my hunt very much & hope to come back sometime." Jeff
W. - Elliston, VA "Excellent hunt for
mule deer. Fred Bear & Betty Crocker have nothing on the crew at Big Coulee Ranch."
Tim W. - Waterford, MI "Guide's
knowledge of game and local conditions was superb, as was his work and hunting
ethic. Guide super-knowledgeable of the territory - very hard working. Good guy
to be around. Camp in good shape. Cook super. Very good personalized service."
Ashley W. - Glendale, AZ "Cody is a
one-of-a-kind guide for mule deer. He provideed me a hunt that was all I could
have expected. He knows the area and game very good and provided me with a quality
mule deer hunt." Larry W. - Hudsonville, MI "Lots
of deer to look over. Excellent treatment from the Moynihan family." Paul
W. - San Antonio, TX "Everything was
outstanding, guide, accommodation and, of course, hunting. THA operates a superb
business. I was very concerned bringing my 8-year old son for his first hunt.
Our guide, Devon, was exceptional in dealing with him and made this a hunt and
memory of a lifetime. I'm coming back next year - 2 spots for sure, but likely
4. I would be pleased to be a THA reference." Ken W. - Westford, MA "Excellent
camp crew and guides. Everyone got along. There were no personality conflicts.
I felt right at home." Pat W. - Folsom, CA "Everything
