Hunter Comments
I do not recommend this outfitter

Was one of the worst hunts I've ever been on... I made the mistake of buying into the hype and glitter... "Guys brad has taken his business to the next level [dnd xtreme hunts] new name new face!!!!!!! He has a awesome crew with one of the top guides in the business and one of the most amazing in house cooks on the planet if you want a hunt of a lifetime please contact me or brad and we will take great care of you we offers dif hunts for the dif types of people one is without transporttaion to and from the satnd with run 1650.00 this hunt is still a guided hunt ,then the full package runs 1850.00 all hunts are 5 days and include loding and food!!!!!!!!"

This is the farthest from the truth... I booked with them from Nov 4-8th... 5 guys including myself sat dark to dark all 5 days.. I was the only one to see a shooter, he was at 43 yards hardly bow range... I knew it was going to be a bad trip when I asked about the wind for my stand the first day and I got the rely "wind doesn't matter they can come from anywhere".

Just saw a new promo video on youtube where there was lone wolf stands used.... Every stand me and my crew went to sucked def no lone wolfs! None of the stands were marked we had to be walked in the first morning.. I would have liked to walk in myself as Im anal on scent and impact on getting in and out of my stands... Half of the stands had no seat cushions or bow ropes but we stuck it out anyways... My father even dropped his crossbow getting out of a stand trying to juggle the bow and climb..

We were lied too about the number of guys in camp.. Was told 12 max! Well there was 26 guys in camp when we were there.... AND only 1 buck was shot out of 26 guys an wouldn't you know it wasn't even on ground the guide owned. (buck scored 120") Also there was only 1 other guide besides brad. We asked to move stands on wed of our hunt and got told that there was guys on pretty much every other farm... Great!

Food was anything but amazing.. thinking back we had spaghetti one night, potluck another.. and chili...

All in all I was very disappointed as I talked my buddy, brother and father into coming out with me. I called every reference he had and all gave positive reviews.. Not sure what happened with this operation but I will not be going back and suggest you steer clear as well.... The guy who I booked with on here was also very upset with the operation and I have the texts to prove it... Wish it would have ended better but it didn't.. But no one can say we didn't hunt hard we sat every minute in our stands that was legally allowed! Wish our "guides" if you want to call them that worked as hard as we hunted...
