What a great time. Scenery, people, accomodations, food and the hunting were all wonderful. It's a long way to go, but worth every mile. I brought my wife and she had a wonderful time too. Shane and Jim run a first class operation and will be sure that your every need is met. Be sure to ask them about their special possum hunts too.
Experience of a life time.
Shane and his team set up an outstanding 4 day hunt for me and my 11 year old son. The hunting was simply awesome! The setting supreme. The food and lodging great. Jim did a superb job as our guide, and took extra time and patience to work with my son on his shooting, not to mention hunting some hares and possum. I would definitely hunt with Shane and Jim again and have recommended them to others. A great hunt to take the wife and/or kids along.

My husband and I hunted Red Stag on a fenced property at Stravon but it might as well have been free range because the stags could cross from other properties and could go farther than we could go.
I always hear people say “Oh, well they are fenced in. It’s like shooting fish in a barrel” Well, it’s not. The stags were not that easy to find even in this fenced property except for a few exceptional stags that hung around a few areas. The stags that we were looking for were very elusive and very hard to get to. The property was beautiful and even with a few fences, had enough cover and trees to hide the roaring bulls from sight. When we did get close to a few of them, they had enough ground to leave in a hurry.
It was as hard hunting those stags on Stravon as it is like hunting Elk in our home country of Cody, Wyoming. The terrain was steep and required some degree of physical fitness for hunters hoping to bag a good stag.
Our Guide, Jim Gibson, was outstanding. He has a great sense of humor, didn’t push us to shoot stags that we didn’t want to and was ready to go when we found the right stag for us. He was very kind, thoughtful and a pretty good cook. I did have to beg him to let me wash the dishes at the cabin after he spent all day hunting with us, hauling our capes out and then cooking for us.
I would recommend Four Seasons Stag hunts to anyone that has a Red Stag on their bucket list.
We can’t thank them enough for their hospitality and hard work.
