Tracy, I wanted to thank you for the hunt! My 2009 hunt to Kansas booked with you was a great experience! The outfitter was one of the most knowledgeable outfitters I have ever hunted with. I only hunted 1 and 1/2 days of a 6 day hunt before placing my tag on a 154" Kansas brut...The accommodations were ok, the food was unbelievable, and the hunting was out of this world...The first day I had 170" deer come in, but fortunately for him he never presented a shot. I went back to the same stand the next morning and killed...Everyone in camp seemed to be well please with the operation...You had better get the word out because when I left camp there were only a few openings for 2010!!! God bless and I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas!!

I hunted with S&J Outfitters this spring in Ohio on a turkey hunt. I had a great time even though I didn't get a turkey. We got on a couple of birds, but could not close the deal. I was impressed with the outfitter so much that I booked a fall whitetail bow hunt on his property with S&J Outfitters. Everything S&J Outfitters explained about the hunt was accurate and exceeded my expectations. Thanks, Brian Robinson ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have hunted both deer and turkey with, and through SJ Outfitters. The thing I was most impressed with, was how much information they provided me with on ever hunt that I asked about. As a client I don’t need to talk with lots of different outfitters and try to decide which one is the best. SJ Outfitters will do that for me and I have all the confidence in the world in this company. To all the staff at SJ Outfitters, I would like to say thanks and I am a lifetime client. Thanks, Cory Copley ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the 2006 bow season, I brought a big Ohio whitetail home with my bow after hunting with S&J Outfitters for a week in Knox County. That was the first ten point buck that I had ever taken and the first for anyone in my immediate family. Well as the old saying goes, “there is a first time for everything.” That big ten pointer seemed to be the turning point and open the door for some other lifelong dreams. Before November of 2006, I had never deer hunted outside of North Carolina. That would all change after I went to Ohio and hunted with S&J Outfitters. On that trip to Ohio there were 8 hunters in camp and there were 5 Pope and Young bucks taken that week. I cannot for the life of me think of a bad thing to say about S&J and their staff or outfitters. I would recommend going back and as a matter of fact, I will be going to try another outfitter next season. Coming from a skeptic raised in North Carolina, they really can send you on a dream hunt ! In November 2007, I traveled to Kentucky to hunt with S&J Outfitters. I was so impressed with the staff and the outfitters from my 2006 trip that I wanted to go back, but to a different outfitter. We had another terrific trip and among eight hunters in camp, there were 5 shots taken with 3 confirmed kills on Pope and Young whitetails. The outfitter was superb and I would recommend the services of S&J Outfitters to anyone. In the May of 2008, I booked a spring turkey hunt with Wild Wing Outfitters upon the recommendation of S&J Outfitters and their staff. My brother and I traveled to Trenton Nebraska to try and finish a grand slam since Wild Wing supports both Rios and Merriam. Among 4 hunters in camp, we harvested 8 mature long beards and could have taken more. The experience was unlike any other that I have ever had in my home state of North Carolina. Once again, S&J Outfitters proved to be honest, ethical and able to deliver. - Shane Decker President, Davidson County Long beards ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This past spring, I traveled to Trenton, Nebraska with Tracy Laws of S&J Outfitters, Jeff Pacquin of JJ Outdoors and my brother, Justin. We were going west to hunt with Tom Anderson of Wild Wing Outfitters for Rio Grande and Merriam’s wild turkeys. When we left from Lexington, North Carolina, the temperatures were in the low to mid-80s. The drive was unlike anything that I had ever experienced. The first morning, we awoke to howling winds and cold temperatures moving in from Denver. Instead of light camo, we had to wear practically everything that we had packed. Justin and I went into a creek bottom and stopped when we could see turkeys sitting in the trees above us. We let day break and watched as several hens flew down and fed away from us. There were no gobblers in the area and we decided to get in out of the 30 degree weather and 40 mile an hour winds. Jeff and Tracy should have killed a double that morning, but Tracy let his gobbler escape. Jeff had tagged the first bird, a hybrid, and the weather was getting worse. We reconvened at the truck and discussed a plan to head toward another piece of property before the weather ruined the day. The next few hours were some of the most incredible sights I have ever seen. We saw more turkeys than I cared to count. With the weather as bad as it was, and the snow starting to fall, we had to have seen 150 turkeys in fields and bottoms. On the second morning, Justin and I set up decoys in about 6 inches of snow and waited for daylight. The next couple of hours were absolutely awesome. We listened as gobblers all around us gobbled on the roost and then flew down. In one particular patch of woods, there were at least 3 or 4 gobblers together with hens. We would find out that there were actually about 10 gobblers in that group. The gobblers and several hens flew down and eventually moved away not paying us much attention. Instead of giving up, we spent the last few minutes of the last day chasing three longbeards we had spotted in a field. But, no one could hold their head down because in three days, four hunters had killed eight turkeys and had chances on several more. I guess you could say that we had to leave a seed for next year, because chances are very good that we will return. - The RF Gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
