Hunting Testimonials

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.
