Introduction:
The Laurentian Mountains are the site of the most prestigious Trophy Elk and Red Deer hunting venue in the world. This is home to both the World Record Bull Elk and Red Stag. The terrain at estate is comprised of colorful hardwoods, large granite boulders, small sunlight meadows and multiple creeks feeding into several freshwater ponds and lakes. The Lodge is centered within this wondrous forested locale.
Renowned around the world for their antler genetic research, this estate is the first location to produce the "Double 500," where both an elk and stag score over 500 SCI points. This has been achieved by the estate's superior genetics, selective breeding, proper culling of inferior animals and by restricting the number of hunts each year.
The Manitoban subspecies of elk is the largest of all the subspecies and can exceed 1200 pounds. They are known for their dark features, long tines, heavy beam mass and exceptional tops. Each year bulls are taken that score well into the top of the record book, including a new world record in 2007 that scored 577 3/8 SCI. The European Red Stag found here are undoubtedly some of the highest quality trophies found anywhere in North America. In fact, the estate holds the "North American Record" stag that scored over 500 SCI points. In 2007 a world record stag of 621 inches was taken. If you are looking for real trophy elk and/or red stag, look no further! Your success and satisfaction is their number one goal.
Hunting:
Hunting season begins in mid August and ends mid December. The rut or bugling season is from about the end of August to early October, with the best bugling normally during the first three weeks or so. A typical hunt at the estate will cover three days and the estate's policy has always been "no harvest - no trophy fee." All hunts are 1X1 guided and the hunter may choose between using a bow, rifle or muzzleloader. Almost all the hunts are "spot & stalk" style hunts but they can put up pop-up tent blinds if you would prefer that option. If by chance you harvest your animal early in the hunt, your excursion is by no means over. Guests can continue going into the preserves stalking more animals, fishing and taking more video footage for personal use.
They offer three preserves. The royal valley preserve and forest preserve are managed for both elk and stag. The stags are priced by the inch but all elk bulls are a flat fee. All harvested bulls will be at least 6X6 frames or better and score from 300-380 SCI. The last couple of years they have taken bulls scoring over 400 SCI. This is a flat fee hunt with the price based on your hunt date. Earlier hunts are more expensive; details below.
The monarch mountain preserve is for the more selective trophy hunter. These bulls will score from about 380 SCI and up. Pricing in this preserve is by the inch. Every year bulls are taken off this preserve that are well into the record book's top ten!
Fallow deer and bison are also available on the estate!

Accommodations:
In 2010, the Estate went through a makeover of note. The main lodge received a face-lift, with room dressings, upgraded amenities and the creation of a formal dining room. Further, a nearly 1,000 square foot great room, with cathedral ceilings was built for our guests, with oversized fireplace, HDTV, slate bar and small business center. A traditional indoor fireplace as well as "African-style" outdoor fire pit allow guests two new areas to exchange stories, enjoy an after dinner cordial and unwind following the days activities.
The lodge is centrally located amongst the preserves is a fully serviced guest lodge. All bedrooms have their own private bathrooms giving privacy and allowing for any non-hunting guests to accompany you on your stay. There are four bedrooms, two of which have two twin beds. One of the guest bedrooms at the lodge is designed to accommodate hunters with disabilities and includes a wheelchair bathroom.
The meals offered to all guests are of the same rich, epicurean style. Due to our early departure for the woods, continental breakfast seems to provide the best predawn meal. Upon return from the morning chase, a hearty and savory brunch awaits. A light lunch and snacks are served as a precursor the afternoon hunt.
Following a full day of adventure, the dinner selections are sure to satisfy the most discerning palate. The multi-course, culinary feasts include a myriad of locale fare and often embrace the spoils of the day, with venison served in a range of dishes. All beverages are included, with top-shelf liquor, a selection of domestic and foreign beers, as well as international wine selections.
