Hunt Hard… All Day… Every Day…

We had over 14 encounters in 4 days of hunting with Stockton Outfitters, LLC. One of the biggest highlights of my career was when my guide and I staulked up on two bulls sparing at about 50 yards. I will hunt with Mark “Be the Elk” Shutey and Stockton Outfitters, any time, any place, and anywhere. Stockton Outfitters is truly a class above the rest.

It was an incredible experience. My Dad and I had the time of our lives combining adventure, hard hiking, pushing physical limits and ultimate success. I am spending all of my time fanaticizing about Montana and am already getting in shape for our next hunt.

We hunted and hunted hard. I like that. I saw things I have never seen before, and met some wonderful people. Although I did not kill a bear, when I got back home to the every day grind I can’t stop putting myself on top of Big Grassy with my brother and guide. It doesn’t get any bigger or better than that. Sure I missed. Call it a learning experience I hope to redeem, but I will be back.

I wanted to thank you for taking me to be hunted by my bear. It was my most memorable hunting experience ever. I can still see that big head loping at us through the sagebrush. What a rush! I didn’t realize until after I shot, just how close he was to us. A big bear fills all your scope at 50 yards! Thanks again Mark. I’ve lived in Montana all my life and hunted a lot in my life but I know, nothing will top this.

Our hunt in Montana was one of the best times of my life. My goal for this hunt was for my son to get a shot at a nice bull and to enjoy sometime together. Anytime you get away from work and spend time with family, see a different part of this beautiful country of ours and make new friends, it’s a success. Brandon’s bull was icing on the cake.
