4 of us spent 8 days at Rasmussen Outfitter and what a trip.  Picked up at the airport, driven to camp, settled in and immediately bonded with Andy, his wife Alesia, their children and his guides.  We were literally guests in their own home and were treated as part of the family.  Alesia fed us breakfast, packed our lunches and had homemade, hot delicious dinners ready for us no matter what time we returned from the woods.  Andy and his guides were tireless workers, willing to do whatever necessary to get us in front of elk, bear and even a mountain lion!  We were archery hunters and Andy and his guides had us on elk every day, but we seemed to be the unluckiest hunters in the woods that week.  Always close but never just the right situation for the perfect shot even though we heard and saw elk every day.  Lucky for us, there was a pack that actually worked harder than Andy and his guides.  The bear and lion dogs!!!  I put myself through college coon hunting with dogs at night but never in my life have a pack of hounds lit my fire like Andy’s dogs.  When they strike, the woods come unglued.  When they tree, you will come unglued.  We ended up with 2 bears and a mountain lion and couldn’t have enjoyed ourselves more.  

If you want action, if you are in shape (although they do have 4-wheelers if you’re not), if you like waking up early and if you want to get away for a week with limited interference from the outside world, don’t miss a chance to sign up with Andy and Rasmussen Outfitters!
