I recently had the chance to go on a hunting trip with David Collins and it was an amazing experience! He is an incredible guide with a lot of knowledge about the area and all the different game. He provided us with the best gear and took us to some great spots. Not only was it fun, but it was also an extreme adventure. He's absolutely phenomenal at what he does, and I would highly recommend him for any hunting trips!

This was my first bear hunt, and I couldn't be happier! Excellent service and comfortable accommodations! Before I shot my 357lb boar, I saw over 30 bears in two days. I highly recommend it!!
