Just to close the loop on this I plan to hunt with Western Range Outfitters/Plaska Lodge in 2027. https://plaskalodge.com/. I am on the cancelation list for this year. I emailed Camden three times and he responded within 30 minutes each time.

Why not use a hunting guide in New Zealand? I am hunting with one now and he is great.

You are exactly right. I have a ticket with COPA Airlines due to a canceled peacock bass trip that I have to use before November. I was thinking about going back to Argentina for a water buffalo since Algar didn't have any really good ones but I won't until Argentina gets the trophy export...

I hunted stag during the peak of the roar last March. The trophies were supposed to ship last July but didn't. Then there were some emails between the Lodge and Coppersmith in September that indicated they were ready to ship. I sent an email yesterday and the reply said they don't know when...

I am not sure a dentist can diagnose you for sleep apnea in the US. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea after a overnight sleep study in the hospital. They said I stop breathing 60 times a night putting me in the moderate category. The MD suggested that I try the dental device and referred me to...

I don't know about the do it yourself version. Mine was molded by a dentist and covered by insurence. I was told that if it didn't work I would need a CPAP machine but it works great for me

For 15 years I have been using a oral appliance therapy (OAT). It is a custom made mouthguard that keeps the airway open by moving the jaw slightly forward. It doesn't need power and fits in a shirt pocket. My doctor suggested it as an alternative to the CRAP machine and it works great for me...

Fair questions AustinL...thanks for asking. I am looking for a quality hunt and I am willing to pay for it. I want a really good deer rather than one that is "representative". Walking is not a problem so would prefer stalking rather than sitting in a blind all day but will do whatever is...

Gee pilar, after seeing the aoudad in your avatar I should have asked for your recommendation for them.

Does anyone have first hand knowledge of a good guide/lodge for mule deer in Texas? As I understand it, they are in the panhandle.

$25,000 is impressive. My hunt with Adam Boyd was $8,000 two years ago and several B&C bears were taken. I am hunting with this group next year. The one on the left was 582 and the other one was 476. I think both will make Boone and Crockett with the one on the making the All-Time list. The...

Me too.

He has great chaps. I think that matters as more as horn length if you are going to have him mounted.

I think the issue with the hides is they are bigger than the ones the guide in Saskatchewan has, LOL. The hides are gorgeous. I took a really big bear two years ago and didn't make a rug because his belly had a bald spot from dragging the ground but he was exceptionally big and fat...

Great swain you took! you can tell the mature ones from the yellow in the corner of the eye and the solid white with no grey or black feathers mixed in. I just built a trophy barn and I am going to have mine hanging from the 14 foot ceiling in a "landing" pose.
