Another year has just begun and as we look over last years results full of great hunts, good trophies , some new outfitters and some real disasters. The inuit hunting communities in the village of Paulatuk has left us down for the last time. They mean, well, but do not exercise good judgement on some hunts, especially the muskox hunts. Accordingly, we will no longer deal with that. Add that to our Russian experience which we will no longer pursue. These outfitters had several numerous good hunts, but no longer are we able to offer these hunts. Our client deserves the very best and that is what we want.
We hate problems as much as we hate surprises, but it’s a people business and unfortunately there is always the chance for human error. We are totally committed to our clients to resolve these or any problems involving their hunt. This in not lip service…..this is gospel.
Read and save this brochure. There are many new hunts and new hunting areas. If you don’t see what you want, call us or see us at one of the shows.
All the Best,
BOB DUNN
