REVIEWS FROM PREVIOUS HUNTS
I was fortunate enough to hunt Dall Sheep in the inaugural season of Canol Outfitters. Not only was I able to connect on a beautiful ram with the help of my guide Nathan, but it happened to be the first one for Canol. This hunt of a lifetime quickly turned into an experience of a lifetime, as I arrived a client and left as a friend. The hardest part about this hunt was leaving! Glenda, Glen & their staff were all first class, and I really can't thank them enough. I will, without a doubt, be back!
Over the years we have been fortunate enough to travel to some of the most amazing places in the world but we would have to say this was by far one of our favorite stops! Canol Outfitters you guys & gals are top notch! The memories made on this hunt will forever be etched in our minds. These mountains show you what you're made of, and making it to the top is worth every step!
My 2017 hunt with Canol Outfitters was nothing short of extraordinary! Glenda along with her husband Glen took on the task of running the outfit, what a great choice! The atmosphere in camp was enjoyable with a very cordial and accommodating crew. The guides were all experienced and very competent, including Glenda and Glen. I was archery hunting sheep and although not successful with my bow, we had multiple close enchounters with exceptional rams. At the end of the hunt I took a heavy-broomed 14 year old ram with a rifle. Congratulations to Glenda and the entire Canol crew! Keep up the good work and I look forward to next time!
