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!

Very respect people not pushy at all, they worked at my speed.

All the blinds and the animals along with great food. They treated you like their own

.hunting with hounds really makes the hunt memorable

The accommodation was very well, the food was fantastic. We had bad weather nobody could expect to come, although the guides were incredible patient and passionate. Besides the weather we’re able to harvest 3 nice Bull Moose in 3 days. We had a thrilling week hunting in Newfoundland and nothing to regret.

**Everything went perfectly. To understand how unique this horseback hunt truly is, you need to know a few details.** First of all, Dustin is running a huge company, which makes it even more impressive how quickly he responds to inquiries (as long as he has cell service – something that is far from guaranteed in the Yukon, and everyone should understand that). I was fortunate enough to be flown into base camp on a beautiful day. This was the starting point for our 9-day hunt, and there I met my guide and wrangler. Another team was also in camp at that time. The friendliness and professionalism of those guides were outstanding as well. For anyone worried about running into other hunters: this was the only contact, and we had absolutely no overlap during the hunt. From there we spent nine days in the wilderness. You may stay in tents, in small cabins, or – like in base camp – in a larger cabin. The incredible landscape and vastness of this hunting area are simply breathtaking. Traveling by horseback allows you to cover an impressive amount of country. I was lucky – though I believe this applies to all of Dustin’s guides – to be paired with a incredibly hardworking guide and wrangler. Being the last hunter of the season, I was amazed at how hard Tim and Mac were still working after 80 days in the backcountry. This alone gave me complete confidence in everything they did, and that trust is essential. Every hunter, especially European hunters, needs to let go of the idea that you will see game behind every corner. Only then can you enjoy the hunt from the very first day. This is true wilderness, and that affects wildlife behavior. All the more fascinating it is when you finally encounter a moose or another species. If you are fortunate enough to harvest a moose, you will be impressed by the professionalism that follows. From field dressing and quartering the animal, to packing it out, and eventually leaving camp (in my case a full trail-out) – everything was handled with absolute skill and care. It was a worthy ending to a true hunt of a lifetime. I can wholeheartedly recommend Dustin as an outfitter. One small piece of advice: to truly enjoy a horseback hunt, make sure to take a few riding lessons beforehand. **Thank you, Dustin, for making my lifelong dream come true.**

Todd did awesome pre scouting work and we were in elk almost everyday. Ended up shooting a 6x6 on the second day. Even if we wouldn’t have got a kill I would still recommend Todd. Extremely personable and knowledgeable.

EVERYTHING

The use of a rubber raft on the river to cover more ground. My Guide was persistent.

Everyone was very nice and helpful and worked very hard to get you on turkeys.
