ADDITIONAL HUNTER COMMENTS AND/OR OUTFITTER/BOOKING AGENT REBUTTAL

It was a great opportunity to hunt on the private land owned by Ted Turner, Armendaris Ranch. Our Outfitter, Jude Gabaldon, son of Roger Gabaldon was exceptional in quality, and experience. The unique natural environment that Ted Turner is utilizing on his land is extra ordinary. A very special place on this continent. As guests on this hunting property everything was exceptional. I hope to be able to go back some day again.

This is the only time I have ever given a straight excellent rating to you. Previous listing to you: A failed stone sheep hunt in 1993, a very successfull dall sheep Hunt in 1992, a so so argali hunt in 1991, and a not so great antelope hunt in 1996. Not with this outfitter!
