The accommdations were very nice. PH was willing to answer all my questions and I ALWAYS have a lot of them. The animal quality was very good.

excellent animal quality

The accommodations, food, and hunting property are all outstanding. Alfonso and his crew work hard to ensure that you are comfortable and safe, and have an opportunity to harvest a coues deer.

Fast answer , autonomy for bow hunter/huntress, gamey land and know his territory, well equiped with blind, feeder and high seat.

My father and I hunted red stag during the rut in the Sierra Morena with Ignacio Cáliz of Gestiberian, and Ignacio is the reason it became a father-son trip of a lifetime. He is simply the best guide we have ever hunted with. From our first emails to the day we left, he was completely professional, handling every detail himself from our Seville pickup to the estate. Ignacio's hospitality set the tone for everything. He welcomed us as friends, not clients, and his warmth at the estate and around the table made us feel at home in Andalusia from the first day. As a forestry engineer, Ignacio knows the land and the animals better than anyone we've met. He read the rut, the wind and the terrain with total confidence and put us on a magnificent stag exactly as he planned. What impressed us most was his deep respect for the animals: patient, selective and ethical at every step. He shared his knowledge of Iberian red deer and conservation so generously that we came home understanding the place, not just having hunted it. Ignacio's skill, integrity and genuine care made this a trip we'll talk about for the rest of our lives. If you want to hunt Spain, hunt with Ignacio. I recommend him without reservation, and we will be back.

This was an amazing and truly unique hunting experience from start to finish. If you’re looking for a polished lodge hunt, this probably isn’t it—but if you want a primitive, authentic adventure with excellent guides and incredible animals, it’s hard to beat. I hunted the early season (August 14th - August 17th) for muskox and caribou and brought my 20-year-old daughter after my hunting buddy had to bail. She isn’t a hunter, but she loves the outdoors and camping, and having her along made the experience even better. We stayed in tents, which added to the true hunting-camp experience. Be prepared to hike and to help pack animals back to camp. For us, that was part of what made the hunt so rewarding. The quality of the animals was awesome. I was fortunate to take a great muskox bull and an awesome caribou, which made the trip perfect. Our guides, Mes and Rasmus, did an excellent job. They were knowledgeable, hardworking, and respectful, and they took excellent care of the trophies and capes. I also really appreciated that they didn’t drink or smoke in camp. They were great guys to spend the hunt with and added a lot to the experience. We lucked out with the weather. It was mild, we didn’t get any rain, and it had been a dry year, so the ground wasn’t nearly as wet and sloshy as I had expected. We barely noticed the bugs either. We brought bug nets and didn’t really need them, but they’re small enough that I’d still recommend packing one just in case. Meals are about what you’d expect from a primitive camp—cereal, cheese, bread and jam for breakfast, and sandwiches that we made and packed for lunch. One of the coolest things was being able to drink water straight from the streams and lake. After a long day of packing out the muskox, my daughter and I even took a cold plunge in the lake. On our final night in camp, we ate meat from both animals, which was an awesome way to finish the hunt. Another highlight came on the way out of camp. Before heading back into town, Mes and Rasmus took us to see the Greenlandic Ice Cap. That was an incredible addition and made the trip feel like much more than just a hunt. There is some downtime in camp, so bring a good book, playing cards, or something else to pass the time. We arrived a day before the hunt and stayed a day afterward, which gave us time to walk around Kangerlussuaq. It’s a small place. The town cafeteria is in the airport, and the grocery store is right across the street. We also walked out to Ferguson Lake and tried to visit the museum, although unfortunately it was closed both times we went by. Overall, this was a fantastic adventure. The primitive camp, hiking, packing animals, incredible scenery, quality of the muskox and caribou, and excellent guides made it exactly the kind of hunting experience I was hoping for. Being able to share it with my daughter made it even more memorable. If you’re comfortable with a primitive camp, willing to put some miles on your boots and help with the work, I highly recommend the experience.

Words alone can not explain how extravagant and extraordinary this place is… from the land to the animals and even the people my girlfriend and I have met from day one to the very last. The acreage is just astounding and beautiful, and the animals we saw were so beautiful and majestic I took in everything I possibly could during my stay, and this is a place I would love to return to. The people that have created this beautiful paradise for others to enjoy are by far some of the most kind and heartfelt people I have met in a long time and reminded me all the way down to the heart and soul, what southern hospitality is like, and brought back my childhood of living in the south. I would put this place and people at the top of my list of places to book with. Thank you Circle M Lodge for the amazing experience and time shared I plan to see you again next year!

This hunt was wonderful. The outfitter is extremely organized and professional. The guides were excellent. They knew the game and showed great respect for the animals hunted and taken. Game was plentiful and good quality and age class.

Hunting with Alberta Wild was my first ever guided hunt experience. The owners (Rick & Derek) and their guides worked really hard for our group during the week long hunt. Unfortunately none of us tagged elk but I got close. We got shafted by the weather most of the week with very high winds which made calling for bulls almost impossible. This was not the guides fault as nobody can control the weather. This is a rugged hunt and your success and enjoyment will rely on your physical fitness. I hiked 87.9km total over the seven days. This was up and down rugged ridges and through steep drainages. Just know what you’re getting yourself into. The guys won’t put you in a position where you could get hurt or can’t physically get in/out somewhere due to poor physical fitness, and they pay close attention to how their clients are handling it. They can also take you to more open cut blocks which are easier to access. I got myself ready for this trip by working out and walking with a weighted pack for a number of months before the trip. The accommodations were excellent. Our group of hunters was in a large canvas wall tent with a stove and very comfortable cots. I ate like a king all week. I’d get up in the morning, eat breakfast, hunt all morning, come back to camp and eat to my hearts content for lunch. Then I’d nap, and hunt again for the evening. Once we got back, supper was always great. They have numerous snacks on standby when it’s not meal time and numerous choices for non-alcoholic drinks. You definitely won’t go hungry on this hunt. The hunting was tough but I enjoyed myself and learned a lot. On day five we hiked in close to a bull elk and his cows. The bull bugled multiple times at my guide who continued to call back at him. Eventually the bull stepped into partial view at ~120 yards and I had an opportunity for a good shot, but we had to confirm he was of legal size. I got to watch the bull destroy a tree with his antlers in anger that we were so close to his cows. By the time we could confirm he was of legal size to shoot (legal size is six points on one antler), the bull winded us and had moved into dense brush again, disappearing like a ghost. On day seven we got onto a bull early. We chased this bull for two hours through some extremely steep drainages. We got caught unexpectedly as the bull came back towards us looking for a fight. He was within 30 yards on the ridge above us. The bull made some of the loudest vocalizations I’ve ever heard an animal make. Loud barks and bugles echoed through the drainage around us. He caught our wind and disappeared over the next ridge. I never got a shot, but it was an incredible experience. If you’re doing the rifle hunt you should be ready for shots as close as 30 yards if you’re hunting down in the thick brush. If you’re up in some of the open cut blocks you could expect a shot up to 400 yards. The short of it is, be ready and proficient enough for close/long shots. Shooting sticks don’t really work here so be ready for free-hand/bracing against a tree in odd positions to make a shot. If you’re looking for an adventure then look no further than these guys.

This entire hunt was amazing. Ryan worked Very hard to make sure we had a great time and were successful on everything we wanted to hunt. Lots of game and beautiful country. Staying in the hunters hut was great also. Relaxing with an awesome view.
