Travel Tips
|
|
|
If
you are traveling by plane, then special care should be given for getting
your trophies home. First of all, most exotics are great table fare so
you should plan on taking all the meat home with you. Second, because some
exotics have such large antlers and/or horns, they must be specially wrapped
to travel on the airplane. You may elect to have your trophies mounted
here. Click here to
view some of our locations.

Aoudad
sheep hunters will especially enjoy hunting our new 35,000 acre Amarillo Ranch or our
100,000 acre West
Texas Ranch, for it will be exactly like hunting Desert Big Horn Sheep without
the high price tag! Lots of fun 4 wheeling, walking, stalking, and
glassing through a spotting scope to pick out the largest ram.
"Hunter and guide stalk to within 200-400 yards and take a careful rest.
The herd ram is nestled atop the large boulders that line the rim of the Palo
Duro Canyon. At the shot the ram buckles and the "whomp" of bullet
striking flesh ricochets off the canyon walls. Dust, dirt and rock violently
erupt as the bullet passes through. You watch helplessly in awe as gravity
yanks your trophy toward the valley floor 600 feet below. Suddenly your
stomach becomes queasy as you hear the sharp "whack" of your ram’s
horns against solid rock as he plunges downward, crashing repeatedly totally
out of control. The eternal moment climaxes as your ram slides to an abrupt
halt in a spectacular cloud of dust and shale."
This is sheep hunting! Are you up for it?

"Just wanted to take the time to thank you both once again for an absolutely amazing experience. The four days we spent with you two at the Palo Duro Canyon Amarillo Ranch is an experience neither Debbie nor myself will ever forget. Besides being the most challenging and rewarding hunt I have ever been on, the ranch itself is probably one of the most beautiful yet harshest areas of the country I’ve ever seen. I really don’t feel I can adequately express in words or even pictures just how beautiful this ranch really is. The only way I’ve been able to explain to friends and family back home is that the ranch is basically a privately owned version of the Grand Canyon. After all, it is the second largest canyon in North America, behind the Grand Canyon. It really was worth coming out just to see the beauty of the land.
As for the hunt, how can I possibly even begin to detail the challenge and effort that was put into this hunt from everyone involved? It is absolutely impossible for anyone to comprehend the difficult yet enjoyment of this hunt without experiencing it firsthand. There you are trying to outsmart an animal that has every imaginable advantage from strength to speed to sight while you are limited by the terrain. I gained such an immense respect for this animal after watching a herd spot us from nearly 500 yards away and set forth on a 4 mile run along narrow ledges and outcropping that stood above 600 feet of vertical drop. Then to watch even the lambs in the group make that 12-foot horizontal jump from one ledge to the other was amazing. By the second day I quickly realized what my sheep hunting friends mean when they say any ram is a trophy. But then to have the opportunity to harvest the quality ram we did is just awesome. After traversing some of the toughest terrain which included sliding down the side of a ledge some 100+ vertical feet, crawling over 200 vertical feet through cedar thickets on our hands and knees, or having to head 150 yards east then 100 yards north just to get where we could go 75 yards west, I was truly appreciative to see the occasional flat rock to rest upon. But on that final morning of the hunt after the absolutely outstanding spotting job you did to see what was truly our last chance ram, the Lord surely shined down upon us. After the nearly hour and a half hike to get in position to possibly get a shot, the moment of truth had arrived. Our ram was on the move and was heading away quick. While I must admit I am rather proud of the shot I was fortunate enough to make through the six foot opening on the running animal, none of it would have been possible without all the outstanding work done by yourself, Gerald, Koby, and of course Mel. I mean such a truly amazing experience culminated in absolute perfection upon arriving at our kill to see such a majestic animal and a world-class trophy Aoudad Ram. I urge you to pass my phone numbers along to anyone who is even displaying the slightest interest in making this hunt. It truly is an experience that every hunter who has the opportunity to take should.
After returning home I was reliving the story with a very good hunting buddy who has taken just about every big game trophy on this continent, as well as Africa and had recently returned himself from a Desert Big Horn Sheep hunt. After hearing me tell him about the land and the hunt he was quick to say that it seemed I had as good if not better a time than he did. Which has to be a tough pill to swallow when you consider that he spent over $60,000.00 more than I did. Again, please feel free to pass this letter or my contact numbers along to anyone who would like more information. I truly enjoy telling the story.
Thank you both again for a once in a lifetime experience. Also, please pass my thanks on to Gerald and
Koby."

“I
cannot put into words the gratitude and respect that I have for the both of you
and the times and experiences that I have had in your company.
I look forward to many more trips with you and my new family.
I know, without a doubt, that any future hunts will always generate
around Magnum Guide Service and the service you provide.
I also wanted to thank you for the extensive effort you put forth on my
free-ranging Aoudad hunt. I have
never seen or heard of an outfitter putting a hunt package together for one
person consisting of two guides for one hunter, an airplane and pilot, four
wheel drive hunting truck with a high rack, camp cook/driver, and tracking dog
for one man to hunt sheep. Not to
mention that you provided all of this for the same rate as a ranch hunt for
Aoudad sheep. Thank you both for all
that you did and I look forward to being in your company soon.”
Steve Howell, Anniston, AL
“I just wanted to tell you thanks again for a great hunt. Eric, Gary and
I had the time of our lives. All of the animals we killed were great, the
hospitality and service were first class, and Dan did a great job as my
guide. I have already recommended you to people and I guarantee I will be
back. I might just come back for Melony's fried pies and cooking.
You did a great job getting "Catfish" Gary on his exotic
animals. I know he had a great time also. He is still smiling.
Once again thanks and see you on the next hunt!”
Jeff Bubenchik, Merced, CA
“Thanks for a great experience. The auodad hunt was especially
memorable. You and your staff worked hard to find game in unfavorable
weather conditions. Thank you!”
Diane Strider, Asheboro, NC
“I had originally intended to only shoot predators but when the opportunity
arose to shoot a blackbuck I could not resist. I have been wanting a
blackbuck for several years and had hunted for one earlier with another
outfitter but was unsuccessful. The ranch I hunted on had some excellent
blackbucks and Dan did a great job guiding me. I ended up with a really
nice blackbuck, about 22" long (straight measurement) with a 23"
spread at the tips. It is an impressive trophy and I can't wait to get it
back from the taxidermist. Because I had not intended to shoot anything
but predators I did not have a suitable rifle. Special thanks goes to
Melony for letting me use her .280 to shoot the blackbuck. I would have no
hesitation in recommending Magnum Guide Service to my friends. Everything
was as advertised and more. Having recently finished a hunt with another
outfitter where things were not as advertised, I was especially pleased. I
sent a good report on my hunt to The Hunting Report. Again, thank you for
a great time.”
Tery Terry, Albuquerque, NM
"Just
wanted to thank you guys again for making Debbie's first hunting trip so
special. There is no doubt, she is hooked. She carries her pictures
around everywhere she goes. Our biggest problem now is arguing about whose
trophy goes where on the wall. Once again, you guys far surpassed my
expectations. The personal attention, the quality of game, the guide
service, and yes, Mel, especially the food was absolutely first class. You
made Debbie feel extremely comfortable throughout her hunts, and that has made
all the difference. We would be happy to share our experience with any
other hunters that wish to inquire about your service. I can't thank you
enough for helping me to merge a very important part of my life (hunting) with
the most important person in my life, my wife. Can't wait to see you guys
in November, and make sure Mel makes plenty of banana pudding. Thanks and
God bless."
Ray and Debbie Rairigh, Lutz,
FL
"I think the real point
to remember is that every hunt you make could be your last. Savor your
time afield because you never know how many more chances you'll get."
In honor and memory of
Ken Fuller, a special friend and hunting buddy, may God be your hunting
guide now.
