Default Anchor "D" Ranch/Outfitting

I managed to buy a one day hunt with Anchor D this spring for BB.

Anyone ever been with them?

I haven't but I picked up a pricing brochure, and ran into them while backcountry camping along the sheep river. Look to be a good outfit, but a little more on the 'dude ranch' side of things. I'm sure if you're a good rider they'll take you some interesting places.

Jamie,

They are a great outfit. I've known Dewy for a number of years and he's first class. He's a great family man and works like a dog to keep everything running in good order. I'm sure you will not be disappointed with the time out with them.

Big x2 on that. Dewy is a great guy, runs an outfit reflecting that.

Dewy and the Mrs are great people. been out with Dewy and one of his hired hands and a great friend of mine a couple of years ago. Rode over 18 miles looking for turkey and bear. Spotted both could not get close to the bear but what the heck I had fun and this was just a great day to get away and enjoy nature. Had another trip booked with Dewy the following year but I got sick and could not go. There was no problem with rescheduling another date.
Anchor D usually has a bear hunt at our silent auction at the NWTF banquet which will be held on April 4,2009

$7500 for an elk? I will be eaten beef. I really can't imagine as a resident of Alberta to pay for any of our critters that are allowed under the huntin regs. I find my own critters, don't need no outfitter or guide.

No kidding.. But its not about the Bear.. In fact the last thing I want to do is shoot one.. man that just gets expensive
(Ok.. If I can find one over 6.5 feet..Well thats a different story)

I liked the idea of a horseback ride in the mountains come spring time. It seemed like a good deal to me and the $$$ goes to AHEIA.

I am going to see if I can get my kids to come with me, or see if I can put this one day ride over to the fall.
Anyway it sounds like a good day.

Jamie
