"I've been hunting big game my whole life, basically 50 years, and I love it more everyday. Whitetails are big back in Minnesota where I'm from, when you start out big game hunting your first opportunity is deer and I think it remains my number one choice. I love chasing whitetails."
"I hunt all over North America. I just got back from a moose hunt in Alaska, I've hunted caribou, elk, whitetail, and mule deer and I've been able to travel as far as New Zealand and done some great hunting there so I feel very fortunate. I've probably hunted Saskatchewan for deer a dozen times."
"I would say the population is improving rapidly. I was here 2 years ago and we knew we were coming after a couple tough winters, Greg was very up front about that. I would say there’s there’s a significant increase in the total number of deer, number bucks and quality of bucks today versus 2 years ago. I know we did have a mild winter but I think a lot of that has to do with Greg’s management practices."
"The first two days I saw a couple nice bucks, but for me if I'm not stirred by that buck when they walk in, if I don't say oh wow or there's not something about that encounter that gets me going, I know it's not the right buck."
"The accommodations are great. Starting with a family style meal over in the house, it's just awesome. Bernice is world class, one of the nicest ladies I've ever met and a fantastic cook. Immediately we're made to feel at home, it feels very much like family and the bunk house is great, there's nothing else we need. We're here to kill deer but it's nice to have a great spot to come and hang out and this place has been awesome."
"The big difference between Chaparral and some other outfitters is in their approach to deer management. Greg's got a great understanding of how to manage and grow big whitetails. There have been a lot of great outfitters that I’ve hunted with through the years but not everybody takes the same approach to managing their deer."
"Greg is very candid about this minimum and that he enforces it. He takes time to educate people on what a mature buck looks like. How to score ’em on the hoof, what to look for. He explains the why behind it, which is a big part of it. For me that’s what I’ve been looking for. To be honest with you, I would pay more and would stay in lesser accommodations, just to have a chance at a world class whitetail."
