| WHITETAIL DEER & MULE DEER HUNTING TESTIMONIALS |  |
GREAT HUNTING, GREAT PEOPLE I met Neil at an SCI event in Livonia, MI. My father and I decided to book a Whitetail deer hunt in hopes of harvesting a large Canadian whitetail. Since it was our first time hunting in Canada, Neil was able to give us good advice and tell us exactly what we needed to make the hunt successful and comfortable. We arrived in Edmonton and Neil promptly met us at the hotel and picked us up. The lodge was comfortable and the food excellent. Neil and his guides worked very hard to get us into prime locations for the hunt. We both were successful in harvesting the biggest bucks of our hunting careers, both big 8 point bucks that were the biggest deer we have shot to date. We also spent a couple days hunting coyote, which was fun and successful. The people and the experience was phenomenal. I hope to return soon and know that I can count on being treated right and placed in an area that .produces huge whitetail bucks. Thank you for a great trip. Dr. G.E. Gopoian  I knew on the first day of my hunt i had hit pay dirt, Neil and his guides go the extra mile for their hunters. My first day in the field (all 5 hours of it) i harvested a huge mule deer, body weight 300lbs and a huge chocolate rack. Neil and i were glassing the river bottom and he saw a 160ish mule deer. I was ready to go but Neil said we can do better so i waited (reluctantly) Glad i did because Neil put me on an even bigger deer just a few hours later. That was the first day! On the next day i went after a white tail and had to wait a little longer for a shot at a great white tail ( one whole day) As light was fading on the first day of my hunt a large deer came in following a doe. One shot later my 6 day hunt was over (in two days) and i had two beautiful deer to show for it. North Star is the real deal and i will be back again. The accommodation's are top notch, the people are top notch, and the food is awesome (thanks Cathy). Thanks to Neil and the rest of the team for an awesome adventure that i will never forget.

Just tell Neil Johnny Lightning Sent ya!.. John & Sue Wiker 717 786 4670 www.JLPRACING.com North Star Outfitters offers more opportunities for success then any other outfitter I've ever worked with. After experiencing numerous white tail deer hunts with outfitters in Kansas, Nebraska, and Saskatchewan, I was extremely pleased and most impressed with my experience with North Star Outfitters and my Alberta hunt. First, no one can guarantee a successful hunt, but after a thorough evaluation of your hunting desires, North Star Outfitters offers more opportunities for success then any other outfitter I've ever worked with. Neil and Alyssa Johnson are passionate and truly want your hunt and experience with them to be the best. And when you are not in the field, the accommodations are second to none. Neil, I'll be back for future hunts and want Alysha as my guide again. You and your staff are the most professional I have experienced and I would highly recommend your organization to anyone. (And for those of you wondering, I bagged a 160+ massive eight point with drop tine on the 5th day). Steve Vilks 612-868-8194 I have hunted in Canada since 2000. I would have to rate Neil's place to hunt at the top of my list. He would also be at the top of my list of outfitter's that would go the extra mile to try and get you a deer. The weather was pretty tough in 2009 but Neil managed to get me on a nice deer. I don't know of an outfitter that can control the weather. If I hear of one I will make sure and stay away from him. Barry Hoven Hunting at North Star Outfitters has become one of our favorite places to go. We have hunted bears, whitetails and mule deer with much success for our television show. If your looking for a reputable outfitter to go with that has good accommodations, great food and big animals then this is the place we would recommend. Pat & Nicole - Driven TV (507) 259-9194 If you’re looking for a professional outfitter in a trophy area you will find none better than Northstar Outfitters. Possibly the hardest working outfitter in arguably one of the top trophy areas, you can’t go wrong. Douglas S. Hamric (863) 299-7776 |

| I want to share my experience at your lodge in Alberta during November 2010. I harvested the largest whitetail of my life--a 175" gross 12 pt typical. I've chased large racked whitetails for 45 years and the areas you put me onto had lots of them. I passed on bucks that would be 130" to 150". Your lodge is great with good food, and you and your daughter Alyssa know big whitetails! I have booked for 2011 and I recommend North Star Outfitting. David Sawler Cell:(506)260-0488 Thanks to Neil and all his hard work and effort, I was able to accomplish a 40 year goal of harvesting a nice mature bull moose. My wife Carolyn was also hunting and took a nice 9 point whitetail buck. I met Neil Johnson at the February SCI dinner in Mt.Pleasant, Michigan in 2009. I told Neil that I was interested in hunting moose. He told me that he had moose, but they didn't have the 70 inch wide spread that you would find in Alaska. I told him that I was interested in a nice mature bull and if he had a 40 inch wide spread that I would be satisfied. We discussed some of my physical limitiations with mobility, and Neil told me that he could work with me and it wouldn't be a problem.On November 4, 2009, Neil and I spotted a nice bull on a hill, we made a short stalk, and Neil got me in close enough for a 120 yard shot. I took the animal with one shot. This moose measured 531/2 inches wide and had 18 points. Thanks to Neil and all his hard work and effort, I was able to accomplish a 40 year goal of harvesting a nice mature bull moose. My wife Carolyn was also hunting and took a nice 9 point whitetail buck. I would highly recommend Neil and North Star Outfitting for anyone interested in hunting moose and whitetail deer. My husband Mike wanted a moose hunt. I decided that I wanted to be able to hunt with him and booked a whitetail hunt with Neil, so Mike and I could be together in camp. As a woman hunter, hunting camps are more geared for the men, and aren't always suited for the female hunter. Neil's hunting accomadations were ideal for the hunting couple. The accomadations were comfortable and I was made to feel right at home in camp. Neil made sure Mike and I had our privacy from the other hunters if we wanted it. His daughter Alysha was my guide, and she put me in various stands. My hunt was set up to my needs, and Alysha was very sensitive to what I would need. Through Alysha's hard work, her knowldege of the area, and the effort she put into my hunt; I was able to see a lot of deer. I was able to harvest a nice 9 point buck. I would highly recommend North Star Outfitting for hunting couples who enjoy hunting together and first class accomadations. Thanks Neil and Alysha for a great experience!! Hunting with North Star Outfitting is a pleasure. All of their stands are enclosed to help contain the human scent and keep the cold winds off of the hunter. A lot of detail is paid to scent control by driving the hunters all the way to the stand, and encouraging everyone to use urine bottles while in or around the stand. Neil is very active in keeping up with all of the hunters and their details, and what they have seen during the day etc. I feel his awareness and attention to detail gave me a little extra advantage in my opportunity to take my nice 160" buck. The lodge is nice and roomy, I never felt cramped up, it is warmed with a heated floor system, and has a trophy room with a pool table, as well as a large lounge area with satelite TV. There is good comraderie between Neil and the hunters and staff. I also enjoyed looking through Neil's scrap books of all the trophies his hunters have taken over the years. There is plenty of good home cooked meals and desert goodies. I plan to return for some more whitetail hunting with North Star Outfitting. Mike Thompson Houston, Texas 281-820-2858 To Serious Big Buck Hunters Only The last decade I've traveled north across the border hunting Saskatchewan and Alberta. I've harvested bucks in the 150's and 160's most years. This season was spectacular because I hunted with someone who knew BIG BUCKS. Neil Johnson, owner of North Star Outfitting, and his daughter, Alicia, are experts on the knowledge of deer. Their expertise of the area and the patterns of whitetail deer are by far the best I've ever seen. The guides studied these big bucks with trail cams, fall photographing and spotting scopes. They know their habits and what Neil calls "a hot area NOW"!!! The food was great and the guides were awesome and Neil's camp is top-notch and relaxing. Looking forward to having another great week of hunting in the near future. Your Friend, Jeff Bunker (906)643-8709 "On my first day Neil put me in a spot where I tagged out in 20 minutes on my biggest WT to date... Two days later I bagged a big mulie. I have been chasing whitetail for years in hot spots like North Dakota, Kansas and Saskatchewan with various degrees of success. This year I hunted Alberta with Neil and North Star hoping to finally have a chance at a 150 class WT and combo with a mule deer. On my first day Neil put me in a spot where I tagged out in 20 minutes on my biggest WT to date, a 164” 12 pointer. Two days later I bagged a big mulie. Yeah I got lucky, but North Star gave me a chance to get lucky. Having personally experienced many different WT outfitters over the last 6 years, North Star has been the most successful and the accommodations are first rate. Daryl Sobol – Pittsburgh 412-974-6383. Thanks so much for coming through for me on my whitetail hunt. You not only led me to a great 161” buck but did the same for my two hunting buddies as well. When you are the person doing the research and choosing the outfitter for your friends, it increases the stress level a bunch. I based my choice of North Star Outfitters on the experience gained from eleven hunting trips to the other provinces and you certainly did not disappoint. Your lodge was very clean and the most comfortable and roomy of any that I have stayed at. Kathy your chef was unbelievable. It was easily the best seven days of dining that I have ever had. My guide Roger was very knowledgeable and a treat to spend time with. What sets North Star Outfitters apart for me is the high density of quality bucks you have and the variety of terrain to hunt. For me it is just as important to enjoy the scenery around the stand location as it is seeing deer. Your stand locations are in spots that make it easy to sit there all day. You also impressed me by your quick decision making on where and how to hunt the deer in each specific area. You always seemed to be thinking one day ahead and when one stand was not working you were ready to make the change. What also impressed me is the special effort you go though with respect to noise reduction and scent control when hunting mature bucks. That is something that I had not seen from other outfitters. Thanks again for a great hunt. Joe Kollross (715) 387-8017 Thanks for thehunt Baron & I took nice bucks in Alberta and Saskatchewan. In the whitetail hunting world booking a hunt can be a difficult decision. We look forward to many more years with North Star . I can honestly say that I feel comfortable spending the money,because I know the quality hunt you provide .Your Saskatchewan hunt is superb, very relaxing with a great oppertunity at a trophy class whitetail . Erv does a very nice job in Sask camp . Your Alberta operation is great too . I couldn't pick between the two that's why I hunt both . We are returning to hunt both places in 08 so anyone wanting info on these hunts you can call me in the evenings at 717-235-0411 . Joe Ross "My anticipation for the upcoming season grows stronger every year. Truly North Star Outfitters is a special place." You know I've guided hunts in illinois and booked hunts for several outfitters. I know the ins and outs of what happens behind the scenes and it is a shame that people spend their hard earned money for hunts that were doomed from the start, I've lived and learned as they say. This is now my 5th year with you and have to say, you and your staff are by far the hardest working and most willingest outfitter to see that me "your client" is successful. I know that when I come to camp its going to be clean, I'm fed until I burst and you are going to put me in an area that has a known shooter roaming. You have proven this year in and year out. My anticipation for the upcoming season grows stronger every year. Truly North Star Outfitters is a special place. Thank You, Joe Conrad Dear Neil, I would like to extend my gratitude for one of the best hunting experience of my life. Helping me harvest a 164" Buck was phenomenal, but the fun that i had hunting with you and your daughter Alysha was something i will never forget. Your lodge, your guides and lets not forget Kathy your Cook or better yet your Chef are second to none. I will introduce North Star Outfitting to my Safari Club of Metro New York and i will most definitely will be back for a White Tail hunt and a Trophy Black Bear Hunt. Very Truly Yours, Sal Calabrese Century21 Calabrese cell 718-715-8640 office 718-236-7100 fax 718-236-4780 "I recommend every serious deer hunter make a trip to see you at North Star Outfitting and experience the hunt of a lifetime! " I wanted to thank you for the hospitality you and your staff showed my Father and I. This was our first visit to Alberta. Having hunted all over North America, I was impressed with the quality and the numbers of animals we saw. I harvested a beautiful Alberta 10 point and my Father was excited with the nice 8 point he connected with. The only complaint I had....the food was to good! I gained 6 pounds in three days! I recommend every serious deer hunter make a trip to see you at North Star Outfitting and experience the hunt of a lifetime! Looking forward to booking with you again. Mark Bernegger Attention Fellow Hunters: My name is Steve Reichard and I have been fortunate to hunt all over this great world. One place that in particular that stands out in my opinion is North Star Outfitting in Alberta, Canada with Neil Johnson; along with the great crew. I have had the privilege of doing twenty four hunts with North Star between bear, deer, goose and duck hunts. I have harvested whitetail deer on all ten deer hunts accept for one, that particular hunt I was just being picky. I was lucky enough to harvest a 200 class mule deer this year and a great whitetail in 2004. In the spring of 2004 I harvested one of the largest black bears I have even taken. It was an honest 8‘2“. Over the many years I have hunted with North Star Outfitting I have harvested 19 bears. It’s great because my hunting buddies have also been as fortunate as myself. The food accommodations are five star, no questions asked. All I can say is be prepared to gain weight over the week. North Star also acquired a new camp in Saskatchewan, Canada. I spent a week there in November of 2004 and seen numerous great deer. If you are looking for a great hunt with first class hard workers and respectful, honest people give North Star Outfitting a call or myself. GO HUNTING WHILE YOU ARE PHYSICALLY ABLE! Steve Reichard 717-993-3260 In November of '05 I hunted with Neil Johnson, owner of North Star Outfitting. I was successful in harvesting a nice 180 inch mule deer. There were many things I appreciated about North Star. They made me feel right at home. Neil and a couple of his guides, Kevin and Blain, are friendly and anxious to take care of you. They want to make sure you enjoy your hunt and work very hard for you to have a chance at a nice deer. They offer a very nice tower stand and furnish heaters when needed. The food was very good and the facilities are second to none. I am planning a hunt again in '06 with Neil. Richard Service 517-456-7431 ext 312, home 517-265-5325.
