Desert Safaris and Hunter Ross provide all of the elements for a grand adventure: 1st class Lodging and amenities and excellent guides with the knowledge and desire to put you on your trophy. The abundance and quality of Mule Deer is unbelievable. Mix in the beautiful high desert vistas and you have the experience of a lifetime.
—Gerry "Moon" Mullins (Ex Pittsburg Steeler – 4 time NFL superbowl champion)

I just wanted to let you know that the Aoudad/Pronghorn/Javelina hunt this past year was awesome. My brother and I could have not asked for a better hunt. Each year we think "it can’t get any better than this" and you outdo yourself again. My family and I wanted to thank you for the many excellent hunts and were looking forward to our next adventure with you again.
—Kevin, Brian, Chris & Ryan Piltz (Geller & Co. New York)

Great ranches, accommodations and quality game has made all my trips more than memorable with Hunter Ross and Desert Safaris. The guides are knowledgeable of the areas and they go the extra mile to make sure that all aspects of the hunt is properly handled. I've returned 3 times in consecutive years and trust me it won’t be my last time. Thanks again.
—Craig Boddington ( Intermedia Outdoors)

One of the best hunts I have been on, even though it was short and sweet because of a little luck and a long shot. It was the landscape, ranch, environment, and of course the trophy ram that made this the hunt of a lifetime.
—Mike Cuypers (BijouCreekGunsmithing) Colorado

Please give my best to Chef Pat, Martin and all the Desert Safaris team. It was a real pleasure sharing Pronghorn camp with you guys and I hope my article reflects my overall experience.
—Tim Martin (Buckmasters Magazine) Alabama

I wanted to thank you for your help and guiding while taping our Aoudad hunt. Your location was beautiful, the animals abundant and the food was excellent…….overall an excellent experience. We really enjoyed working with you and think your slogan “come as client, leave as a friend” is accurate.
—Conrad Evarts (Peterson’s Hunting Television)

I’ve had great ranches, outstanding guides, and world-class hunting on all four of my successful hunts with Desert Safaris. I’ll definitely be back.
—Greg Rodriquez (Contributing Editor, Intermedia Outdoors)

I have hunted with Hunter Ross and Desert Safaris on several occasions now and have to say that all aspects of the hunts have met and exceeded my expectations. The guides have been super to hunt with, know the areas we have hunted well, and are excellent judges of the game animals. The facilities and food are outstanding. The mule deer hunt is in the most spectacular high desert area one could hope to see. But don’t forget the deer. I have hunted mule deer for a number of years and had expectations of seeing a few deer each day, those expectations were blown away by seeing an astonishing number of deer each trip out. I always tried to keep count but would get excited by seeing more and more deer and lose count. We saw at least 10 to 20 bucks per day and someday more. Hunter’s protein feeing program is producing some outstanding animals, and it sure makes me look forward to next season. On all my hunts I have felt like a member of a hunting party hunting with a group of old friends, not a client : that makes Desert Safaris special.
—Les McLaughlin (Densimix, Houston Texas)

I was referred to Desert Safaris and Hunter Ross from a good friend of mine and had my first hunt with him in 2005. Based on this very successful hunt I have subsequently booked with Hunter for Desert Mule deer, Pronghorn Antelope, Aoudad Sheep, and Axis deer and have had 100% fill rate with better game taken each year compared with the year before. The accommodations are top notch and the guides are always hard working and willing to go the extra mile to ensure that you harvest a good trophy animal.
Desert Safaris has kept me and my family and friends coming back and my guess is that once you complete a hunt with them that it will be the first of many.
—Barry Pullin (Sunscource-Houston, Texas)

My son Wade and I have hunted in all six continents. In the course of making these journeys, we have taken some outstanding trophies, had some fantastic experiences, and made some wonderful friends. Among the most memorable hunts we have had are those with Desert Safaris and Hunter Ross. That's why we keep coming back year after year. Not only are the hunts successful, they produce great trophies and are just flat out fun. Hunter started out as our outfitter and quickly became our friend. I highly recommend Hunter Ross to anyone wishing to book a hunt. His hunts are outstanding and his integrity is impeccable.
—Mike Renfro & Wade Renfro (Renfros Alaskan Adventures, Bethel Alaska)

I had the pleasure of meeting Hunter Ross 2 years ago at the western hunting expo in Salt Lake City, Utah. It was a pleasure swapping hunting stories with him at the convention, and shortly after we met I was planning my trip to Texas. Hunter was easy to deal with always kept me well informed of our plans. Once I arrived in Texas all of Hunter's talk was turned into action and I had a great trip. I saw some of the neatest country and Hunter put me on trophy class animals right out of the gate. Hunter runs a quality operation and the pictures speak for themselves. This is a trip I will certainly do again and Hunter and his crew have not seen the last of me.
—Russell McClenahan (The Bluffs Resort, Colorado)

As an outfitter myself, I understand what it takes to offer quality hunts to its clients. In some of the most physically challenging country that exist, Hunter and his staff worked diligently to insure that our hunt was a success. I took a 34 inch Aoudad in West Texas and a Mountain Lion which was an unbelievable bonus to the hunt! Desert Safaris truly offers quality satisfaction to a level that far exceeded my expectations.
—Quentin Smith (QRS Outdoors & Outfitters, Colorado)

"Hunter Ross and his team combined a phenomenal Aoudad hunt with spectacular service both in the field and at the lodge. True professionals who took the time to tailor our hunt to our desires…..in the end Desert Safaris surpassed all our expectations… Hunter as his team understand how to “work hard’ and take care of business! We came to the ranch as Hunter’s clients…we left the ranch as good friends! See you in November for Muley’s!"
—Chris Taft (CEO Preferred Mutual Insurance)

"The adventure and accommodating nature provided by Desert Safaris has exceeded expectations each time My wife and I have booked a trip. We have booked several very successful hunting trips with Hunter Ross and Desert Safaris. However, I was most impressed when Hunter Ross and Desert Safaris were able to accommodate my 12 year old daughter on a recent Mule deer hunt when my wife was unable to go at the last minute- The professional atmosphere and high moral attitude of Hunter and his staff made the trip an experience of a lifetime, and a unforgettable memory for My daughter and I."
—Christopher W. Stevens (Texas Diesel Service)

"Just wanted to drop you a note and tell you how much my son Clay and I enjoyed hunting with you again this year.It took all of 5 minutes after we got there to "drop our guard" and relax among friends, as if we've hunted together for a long time. Everyone in camp was an old friend. For us, it has to be about more than getting our deer, and again the camp, food, and scenery was beyond compare. Seeing all of those big bucks doesn't hurt either. See you again next year, and best of luck to you and your family. "
—Tom Visentine (Specialty Oilfield Services, Inc.)

"Hunter Ross runs a professional outfit in Desert Safaris that has served us well over years of hosting group hunts. Mr. Ross and his guides have always been courteous and professional, and they are knowledgeable, informative and experienced guides in the field. We have always had safe and successful hunts with Desert Safaris, but most importantly, we’ve had a great time packed full of good stories and memories."
—Van Holmes (Yamaha Motor Corp., U.S.A.)

"Desert Safaris is a top-shelf hunting outfit. The facilities are over the top, the guides are excellent and the game is plentiful. Hunter Ross runs the best operations that I have experienced and he under-promises and over-delivers and goes the extra mile for his clients. I have hunted and worked with Desert Safaris for years and I know of no other operation on his level. If you are looking for the hunt of a lifetime and want to meet great people, look no further than Desert Safaris."
—Macy Ledbetter (Wildlife Biologist, Spring Creek Outdoors)

"I have known Hunter and his wife for more than 7 years. He is a man of fine character and unquestioned integrity. He is redefining mule deer hunting in the U.S. through his high protein feeding program for these deer. Soon they will rival mule deer from Sonora. It is all on a low fence 100,000 acre ranch of unbelievable beauty. I have taken a 33 inch aoudad and a 17 inch pronghorn with Hunter also. I have heard Craig Boddington recommend him on his television shows, but I know the man personally and I could not recommend any outfitter higher. "
—Terrell McCombs (Red McCombs Enterprises Texas)

"Awesome! I've been on two hunts with Hunter Ross & Desert Safaris and couldn't be more pleased...I have two more trips booked as I write. This is a top notch-world class operation in all aspects...expect to be impressed!"
—James C. "Chris" Walters (Wells Fargo Securities/First Vice-President)
