Summer News
Early July a good client/friend invited me to North Carolina to do some Bill Fishing, we had a great time I was fortunate to catch my first Sail Fish and Dolphin which I was awarded two citations. The summer was starting off on the right track.

On July 26th Lisa, Nathan and I started North for a Stone Sheep Hunt for Lisa. This was her first backpack hunt and it was going to be a challenge.

On July 29th we reached the float plane base and flew into our starting destination. After hiking 3 continuous days for a minimum of 10 hours per day with 60-80lbs backpacks we finally reached hunt-able RAM country.

August 1st was opening day and we spotted 7 RAMS one being a very good full curl RAM. We hunted that sheep for 3 days and were unfortunate and could not get close enough for a shot opportunity.

On August 4th I decided that we focus on new country, which ended up being the correct decision.

Lisa harvested a beautiful Stone Sheep and I was fortunate to harvest a nice RAM the same day.

It was a challenging hunt and I'm extremely proud of Lisa, I told her she is a great hunter and should be extremely happy with her success. Lisa carried a 65lb backpack and her RAM out for a total of 40 plus miles in rugged country for 10 days. I really enjoyed hunting with my wife and experiencing her success. In the last 5 years Lisa has become very involved in the company and has developed into a very successful and knowledgeable hunter/big game guide taking several big game animals in North America and Africa. She will be hunting New Zealand and Australia this spring however, she claims her Stone Sheep is her ultimate trophy so far.

In a few days we begin our fall hunts; camp, trails, guides are ready to go. I would like to thank all the clients for choosing TOA and we look forward to having you hunt with us this year and for many years to come.

Our next update will be in a few months.

Winter Cats / Spring Bear and Waiting for FALL
The start of 2010 began with an excellent cat season the hounds hunted exceptionally hard and our success was once again 100%. Everybody took home great cats. We had 9 clients and treed well over 30 cats.

After the cat season, we began our marketing tour and we were able to get a reasonable number of hunters for the fall. I would like to thank all our returning clients and new clients that have decided to hunt with us. Our team looks forward to providing you a great hunt.

Our worldwide division was extremely successful this year. I would like to thank everybody for choosing TOA for your worldwide hunting destination. The time, financial commitment and hard work that Lisa and I have put in for the last 5 years is starting to pay off. Our worldwide partnerships are very strong and clients have had exceptional reviews.

Spring Bear Season arrived and we started off hunting in one of our northern territories of British Columbia. We took some great bears! Attached is a photo of FRED MILLER with his great trophy in our southern area. Congratulations Fred!

Fred has also committed to a Mt Lion hunt with us in 2012. I would like to thank Fred for his continued business and look forward to hunting with him in pursuit for a BIG TOM.....

Well Summer is HERE! Haying season has began and soon we will be heading up North for Stone Sheep and then back to the south starting our FALL ELK SEASON! Until Next time have a great summer!
