I am not sure exactly where to start but mainly wanted to thank you for the great hunt we experienced this September. Our group of 4 hunters had been on several Western elk hunts over the last few years but none compared to the week with USO.
This hunt was off to a great start when we met Mr. George Taulman (owner) at the rendezvous spot and headed right to camp. The rain in the area had the roads slightly muddy but transportation to and from the hunting area was not an issue as we drove right to camp. After a quick orientation and practice session we were off to hunt. We had more sightings the 1st night (including a 40 yd clean miss of a P & Y bull on my behalf) than in our previous 4 hunts combined!
The hunting stayed consistent throughout the week where it wasn't camp stories of "did you see anything" it was "how many, how big and did you get one?" Seeing game on each and every hunt became the norm. I was fortunate enough to be able to hunt with Mr. Taulman during our week which was a great experience in itself. He is one of the most patient and dedicated individuals that I have ever met in any profession.
The entire hunt including the camp, food, transportation, cleanliness, abundance of game and quality of guides exceeded our expectations. I was the only one in our group who harvested a bull (there was 1 other hunter in camp who also harvested) but we have already booked again for next year.
Thanks again and I greatly look forward to hunting with USO team again next fall.

"One word to describe my hunting experience would be "exceptional". I've hunted with USO Outfitters in two different units over the last 6 years and have never been disappointed with their professionalism and knowledge of hunting. Their guides are some of the best in the country and they make sure you receive exactly what you want, out of your hunt. .... I have traveled the West in many states bow hunting elk and deer and by far this hunt, this year was my all time favorite. Tough, challenging and rewarding to me personally. I look forward to another year when I see my friends at USO."

"I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated the hunt I went on in Kansas last week. Having worked with your organization for the last 5 years, I was not surprised to find such a well organized, high quality experience run by friendly, professional guides.
It was a hunt of "firsts" for me. It was my first time to hunt out of state ... for my first mule deer .... on my first muzzleloader hunt. I was also lucky enough to tag out a respectable deer on the first day."

"From the USO office ... to the guides and cooks, this elk hunt was a fantastic experience! Can't say enough about their operation and the number of elk seen."

"My brother and I recently completed our elk hunt in the "Valle Vidal" area of New Mexico. We were very pleased with the hunt and want to commend your guides for the outstanding work. "Tega", Red, and Ernie were very professional and ran one of the most organized camps that I have witnessed. They hunted extremely hard to ensure that everyone had a great experience. Thanks."

"Over the years I have hunted with many Outfitters in Alaska, Canada and several other states. US Outfitters undoubtedly provides the most professional service, knowledgeable guides and trophy animals of any that I have hunted with. I have been on four hunts with USO and taken exceptional animals each time. I look forward to hunting with them again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a high quality professional hunting experience."

"Nineteen years of archery Elk Hunting with USO and still looking forward to my next Elk Hunt. Between USO's World Class private ranch elk hunts and applying with USO's professional licensing service, I am guaranteed an elk tag every year. USO provides quality areas, professional guides and attention to detail. I would recommend USO for a quality hunt."

"Gadget - Just dropping a line to say thank you and the guys at USO again for what was absolutely the hunt of a lifetime for me! I got my antlers today, but was very surprised to find the arrow that took the bull in the box. I figured that thing was lost forever! You guys really go above and beyond to make sure your hunt is truly the hunt of a lifetime! As if the whole thing was not already an awesome experience. I intend to hunt until I'm just too old or decrepit to cut it any more, but as long as I live, I will always remember the coolest trip I ever had.

"It's a real pleasure to hunt with a first class outfitter. USO made my elk hunt the very best possible. I saw plenty of elk and ended up taking a 383" bull on the first day with a muzzle loader . . . . the hunt of a lifetime! The tent camp was superb; heated tents, hot showers and meals that were outstanding. A great guide staff; Tega, Red Rider and Ritchie were professional in every way to ensure their hunters had a great experience. The Licensing Program took out any stress and did all the work getting the Limited Draw tag for me in the Valle Vidal, NM. Thanks for making my "once in a lifetime" elk hunt a dream come true.

"I started with U.S. Outfitters' licensing service at the very beginning. Since 1993 they've drawn me two bighorn sheep, one desert sheep, two Shiras moose, and three Arizona rifle elk tags (and that isn't all!). Using a licensing service gives the consistency needed to take advantage of preference and bonus point systems, and I am convinced U.S. Outfitters' research on area trends and drawing odds is second to none. It's a gross understatement to say "I'm sold!"
