Mike is an excellent guide and really does know the terrain in northern Nevada better than anyone! He knew the huge deer would be at high elevations, and unfortunately, being a flatlander, I was not in shape enough to climb to where the huge deer were. He recognized my handicap right away, and I was able to take a nice 3×4 with lots of character on the 4th day of the hunt. Mike knew exactly where to go for a good deer without a hefty climb. This was extraordinary in itself considering the drought conditions over the past 3 years. While not huge by the area’s standards, my buck was much larger than any whitetail I’ll ever see in my area of the country! And how do we know I missed out on a huge deer by not being in shape? Because a young fellow from Pennsylvania who was being guided by one of Mike’s sub-guides that made the climb where Mike wanted me to go and killed a HUGE buck the same day I took mine! And Mike’s beautiful wife also makes AWESOME sandwiches! Hope I get to go again!
