Stories From the Field…

Rosie & Dave,
We harvested an exceptional Roosevelt Elk at Trophy Ridge Ranch October 2009; Sunday we prepared the great room for the new addition and in doing so we wanted to formally thank you for the excellent experience that Trophy Ridge Ranch provided. The accommodations were excellent a gourmand experience. The total experience of hunting Trophy Ridge Ranch with the Wells family was wonderful and we look forward to future adventures. We want everyone at Trophy Ridge Ranch to know how much we appreciated the hard work that made our experience so enjoyable.

Dave and Rosie,
We picked up the Roosevelt Elk from the taxidermist and we were preparing to hang the mount on the wall of the Great Room; Jacques had called to share with Dave the magnificence of the Roosevelt Elk and the perfection of the taxidermist work. We reminisced about the quality of our hunting experience at Trophy Ridge Ranch; the hospitality of the Wells Family and friends making us more than welcome. The accommodations were excellent as was the dining experience. As we have hunted at Trophy Ridge Ranch before and each experience is heightened with excitement of the hunt and the professionalism of the guide. We wanted to thank all of you at Trophy Ridge Ranch for an exceptional hunting excursion and a magnificent Roosevelt Elk.

Sincerely, Jacques & Brendy Drumheller
