Velik was prompt in getting me back and forth from the airport, driving me to rustically luxurious accommodation, and getting me out into the rugged yet serene Rhodope mountains, leading to a Gold Medal class Tusker trophy being bagged on my first day hunting, and my first day in Bulgaria. The introduction to mountainous Bulgarian cuisine was a feast for the senses, and Velik was very helpful in providing interpretation. Verdict: come one come all

An outstanding hunting experience. No embellishment, nothing superfluous — pure and excellent hunting.

Great guide

Everything

The country was very unique to hunt

Keith and Steve were great guys. They are very personable and both worked hard to put us on the animals we were after. Saw tons of game which made the sits easy. Would definitely do it again.

Birds everywhere Very hospital host Hunting spots close to lodge We took 6 different species of ducks Make sure to ask about Craig’s world class hike made biscuits Food was great, host and guides were all great guys We already booked 2027 to return.

The quality of the guides and food as well as accommodations are unmatched. I booked hunting trips both domestically as well as internationally. You would be hard-pressed to find a better outfitter period! The guides were hard-working and clearly worked hard to find all of the members of camp a bear. The methods were both semi guided in stands or blinds as well as predator calling bears. I truly can’t say enough positive things about this outfit. If you’re looking for a spring bear hunt, I would highly recommend this outfitter without reservation. Do yourself a favor and book this hunt now!

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.

Great roar and red stags. Huge water buffalo. Excellent guide and camp staff.
