Hunting Trip For Husbands Birthday
Hi, My kids & I want to get their father/my husband a hunting trip for his birthday. He is an avid hunter who we want to knock his socks off with this trip. It must be within the U.S. and a quality company for the trip. Does anyone know of or have suggestions for a guiding company and where? Thank you for your time.

It really depends on what type of hunting he likes the most - be it Deer, Elk, waterfowl, upland game, whatever.
Check out the Safari Club and various hunting clubs/magazines for an idea as to costs, locations, etc.
I would probably lean toward the Western states - but there is good Whitetail deer hunting in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, etc, the south, and so forth.
And just a good hunt will probably suffice - not for a Trophy rack, which costs more.

If you are going to spend big time for an Alaskan sheep hunt - he better be in great shape to hump up the hills.
Stateside - most guys dream of getting a big elk - as they have already been successful at deer hunting.

And for some fishing options - check out our local radio - fish show - Let's Talk Hookup. They go all over - from Alaska down to Panama out to the Pacific, and they have links to a lot of different companies besides the trips they sponsor/take.

And here is a collection of various outfitters for Elk hunts - and they have them in just about every western state - including where I grew up in Oregon. And if you decide on an elk hunt - preferable guided if he's not familiar with the area - it's easy to add on a fishing trip somewhere in the area.

Here's a map that shows more about hunting in Oregon for example (with both Roosevelt and Rocky Mountain Elk, Mule and/or Whitetail and/or Blacktail deer, Antelope, etc) - and then - below that - one Oregon outfitter's page - and then a Field and Stream article about hunting on public land - but again, would pay more for a guided hunt unless he is readily familiar with an area.
Oregon also has all kinds of lake - and river and stream fishing (Trout, Steelhead - which is an ocean going Rainbow trout, Large and smallmouth Bass, Salmon migrating up the rivers - and out in the ocean - as well as big Sturgeon in the Columbia River and of course, as noteed going out to the ocean - where depending on the season - you can also catch Albacore tuna, etc.

Uno mas - plenty of bird hunting in Oregon too - being on the Pacific flyway - for ducks and geese, and you also have pheasant, and upland birds - grouse, sagehens, whatnot.
But the same can be said for Washington and northern California.

The Brooks Range in Alaska has a lot of great hunting. Take a look at BRA's website for this. http://brooksrange.com/services/hunting.htm
BRA itself it not a guide service, but they have links to credible guides in the area. When we were up there, there were quite a few groups coming back from successful hunts.
