I
wasn't sure what to expect, I've never hunted
elk before. The lodge was perfect and I loved
the food. Brent helped make sure we were ready
the night before and guided us during the hunt.
It was a real hunt and took hours to get her
in range. My Dad and Grandpa were with but I
got to shoot. Brent helped me so I knew
what to do and I got her in ONE shot! It was
fun. I can't wait to come back and hunt again.

P.S.I never smile for pictures but you noticed
I couldn't stop after our hunt.

To
Brent and Karen;
I can say I have never been
to such a great hunting lodge as the one you all
run. I have been on a few trips and by far this
has been the best, not just because of the
quality of animals you have and see but because
of your hospitality. I took a young buffalo bull
and an elk while there and they both were better
than expected. The lodge is that of a 4 to 5 star
hunting lodge and the reason I say this is, when
looking for somewhere to hunt it is not about
the 100.00 bottles of wine and the best food that
a professional chef can make or paying thousands
of dollars to kill the biggest and best animal
but it is about the personal connection you make
with those people you come in contact with while
hunting. |

I
can say That I will come hunt again but more
than that I know that I have made new friends
that I can keep in contact with. Your hunts
are amazing and full of challenges and adventures,
and the walks aren't bad either. I can honestly
say I looked at forty to fifty outfitters before
making my decision on where me and my friend
should go hunt and at the end the decision was
easy it was with Stonemeadow Ranch and their
staff. Also not only is Brent a great Guide
but him and his helper Bob who films the hunts
for you go far above and beyond the call of
duty to please their guest while hunting and
relaxing. Karen which is the cook, entertainer,
and also Brents wife is a sensational cook she
will do whatever it takes to make sure your
stay is unforgettable. If you plan on taking
a hunt for Buffalo or Elk look no further than
Stonemeadow Ranch.

To
Brent & Karen White.
I want to give you my thoughts
& comments on our trip to Stonemeadow Ranch
following Thanksgiving 2006. At my age (69)
I can say I have seen "The Good, The Bad
& The Ugly" of many hunting camps &
hunting services over the years. The Lodge, services,
food, atmosphere & friendship along with so
many great animals that I found at Stonemeadow
Ranch went far beyond anything I have ever experienced
in hunting camps before. It has to be in
the category of "The Great".
Accommodations at the lodge
are great & the view of the ranch from the
lodge is breathtaking.
Karen runs a great kitchen & all the Buffalo
& elk she fed Us was beyond any expectations.

The
weather while we were out hunting was a cool
14 - 17 degrees but with all the walking &
stalking we did not really get too cold.
We were there the week the really cold front
came through but it did not bother hunting at
all & was not any problem.
My Son Kelly had never hunted
a day in his life & had just planned on coming
for the vacation & sightseeing & to help
Me with the driving. I had booked both a
Cow Buffalo & Cow Elk hunt & offered to
let him take the Elk if he wanted. He came
up & shot my ol Rifle pretty good so
we arranged for him to take the Elk.
Brent was a lot of help with
the stalking & getting us back on animals
when they moved. Kelly
took the Elk the first day of hunting & Brent
made quick work of the field dressing &
getting the animal on the trailer.
The next day I went after the
Buffalo & it really took a lot of walking
& stalking as I was after just 1 huge Cow
& the others in the herd seemed to quickly
figure this out & keep her surrounded.
After a bit over 5 hours of following the
herd & stalking & setting up with the
ol rolling block black powder 45/75 she finally
stepped clear & gave me a going away angle
& the 500 grain cast bullet quickly did its
job.
Again Brent made quick work
of the field dressing & getting the Buff on
the trailer. He got both animals to local
processor & taxidermist for us & really
went out of his way to see every detail was taken
care of properly.
My wife loved the lodge &
the view although she does not hunt. We
got to spend 1 day prior to the hunt touring the
town of Custer & another day after the hunt
taking in all the major attractions & just
playing tourist while the processor finished getting
the Elk & Buffalo packaged & frozen for
the trip home.
As an aside to the hunt, the
cost of the processing & taxidermy was quite
reasonable. As a matter of fact the taxidermist
called just a few minutes ago letting me know
he is shipping everything this week. A 6
month turnaround on the 2 hides & the Buffalo
head is quite fast.
I liked the hunt, the lodge,
the atmosphere & the friendship of Brent &
Karen so well that I am returning this year for
the week following Thanksgiving with 2 of my ol
hunting partners for more of the same. I have
also booked a hunt for next year.
I had to quit the high altitude
elk & mulie hunts that I did for so long as
at my age it was just getting too hard on me.
With Stonemeadow at around 4,700' elevation this
ol flatland Texan can still get around ok &
hopefully I will get many more years of hunting
in here.
Yall come. You will like
it here.
