Success is always the best story.
“From the very first phone call to leaving the camp after the guided Elk hunt, all I can say is excellent, excellent, excellent! Bow and Arrow Adventures was so great in being organized and made a hunt of a lifetime come true for me. Very professional and I will be using them again and again!
Thank you!”
— Adam Greentree ~ New Mexico Elk
“An excellent hunt on a Montana private ranch. Elk numbers were high and there were some real bruisers in the bunch. The hunt exceeded my expectations. My only complaint is that I only got to hunt for 20 minutes before I had a dead bull on the ground. Oh well!”
— Michael Williams ~ Montana Elk
“To say this was a great Wyoming hunt is an understatement! This was the second archery hunt in as many years that I have booked with Scott from Bow & Arrow Adventures and it won’t be the last. Although I booked this hunt with mule deer in mind, the tag was good for both whitetail bowhunting and mule deer bowhunting. The night I arrived I could not believe my eyes when I saw literally several hundred deer in one hay field, and the number of good whitetail bucks was incredible! The weather had been exceptionally warm with far too much rain and it was obvious that the big muley bucks hadn’t come down from the mountains yet. But not to worry…as the very first evening out a nice whitetail buck and another one even larger hung out across the field from my blind for 3-4 hours. Just before dark when a huge mule deer doe fed past the blind this buck got comfortable enough to feed his way the 200 yds towards her. At less than 25 yds it was his last mistake! I didn’t get the mule deer buck I was after but I have no doubt they are there abundantly in normal years. This was a 5 star hunt from beginning to end with unbelievable accommodations, food fit for a king and hospitality that was as good as it gets. I “had” to spend the rest of the week fly fishing for native Yellowstone Cutthroats and exploring in some AMAZING country. I WILL go back here after a muley buck and an elk. There are some monsters on this amazing ranch. If you are considering this hunt or any hunt with Scott at Bow & Arrow Adventures, don’t give it a second thought. Just do it!”

“This hunt was amazing! Scott's outfitter was first class. His attention to detail really gives his guests the edge. From the Ozonics in each blind/treestand setup, dozens of Reconyx cameras scouting his property, HBS for staying warm, a full 7 day hunt,etc. The outfitter knows these whitetails. His predictions were spot on and having a full 7 days to hunt was the deciding factor for me on pulling the trigger on this trip. Every aspect of this hunt was a real pleasure and would feal the same even if I didn't shoot the biggest buck of my career.”
— Andrew Neubauer ~ North Dakota Whitetail
“This was my first time using Bow and Arrow Adventures. They were recommended to me by a hunting acquaintance on a previous hunt. The main reason that I selected them was the they specialize in outfitted guided bow hunts and had the ability to put me on a hunt in various states and various species. I called Scott to talk through options and he pointed me and my son to a hunt in South Dakota on a 40,000 acre ranch that would provide a chance to see lots of deer and a shot at a 150+ class deer.
Scott was 100% correct! The lodging and facilities were just fine for a whitetail hunt. My son and I had the basement of the hunting lodge to ourselves. The lodge had satellite, washer/dryer, full kitchen, etc. The meals were provided each night (and were very good). They made lunches for us every day in case we wanted to stay all day in our stands.
About the deer....We saw an average of over 50 deer per sit. There were a couple of sits that I only saw a couple of deer, but most of the time I could glass and see 50-75 deer at all times. So, it wasn't uncommon for us to see over 200 deer in a day. There were always deer around us, but the weather was warm (30's to 60's) and they were only active for a few hours before bedding down for the mid-day. We could always see shooter bucks, but we didn't always have one close to us and the patterns of the deer were "off" with the temperatures.
The guides at the ranch were excellent. They were able to work with us on stand placement and preference so that we were happy and successful. I haven't had a guide be that flexible with me until I hunted here. I've hunted in Illinois, Ohio, and Georgia and this was the most accommodating guides. I had been watching a buck for a couple of days and they hung a stand that would be closer to his patterns I had observed the last couple of days. I connected on a stud (160"+) about an hour before dark on the last day of our hunt!!!! Unfortunately, I still don't have my hands on him, since he ran on the neighbors property. This caused us to have to wait until the next morning to do the search and my flight was too tight to continue on the trail. Fortunately, the guide found him the next morning and I will be putting this big guy on the wall. I will post pictures when I get him back from the taxidermist.
I've used guides in multiple states in the past and you always have to try and do research online and hope for the best unless you happen to know someone who has used them before. I've been pretty lucky in the past, but using Bow and Arrow Adventures allowed me to have trust in their locations and that they have vetted out the good ones. I'll be using them again for my whitetail hunts and possibly that big elk one day.”
— Mike Bell ~ South Dakota Whitetail
“This was a first rate hunt from top to bottom. I was looking for an exceptional goat and saw several. Passed on average pronghorn. When swinging for the fence you sometimes stike out. Guides gave 100%, which is proven by the fact that 3 out the 4 of us took nice goats. The best being a mid 70 inch trophy.”
— R.L. Foster ~ Colorado Pronghorn
“I have been on several hunts including Africa...I can say that Bow & Arrow adventures has a first class company. They value your business while providing top level service with an opportunity to harvest some of the larget bulls anywhere.”
— Matthew Miller ~ New Mexico Elk
“This was primarily a mule deer hunt but I did take a nice P&Y whitetail. The mule deer hunting was fantastic. I saw more big bucks in one herd than I've seen in other places in a week. We spent five days shadowing a loose herd of sixteen bucks, five of which were high Pope and Young animals and one was a Booner at 190+ typical. They knew how to protect themselves and we did our best to get close but couldn't pull it off. A local bowhunter spooked them and we lost track of the herd. Ended up missing two bucks on the last day in a strong wind but there were bucks everywhere and the quality was the best I've seen. Wide-open country, but I should have filled my muley tag. I booked this hunt through Bow and Arrow Adventures and it exceeded my expectations.”

“Accommodations are in a top notch B&B in Council Grove, KS. Trophy quality is excellent. Guide worked hard to be sure you had the best possible opportunity to take a trophy. Would highly recommend to other hunters“
— Tim Fisk ~ Kansas Whitetail
“Scott set us up with a first class hunt. The camp was the best, lots of game, great quality. It literally couldn't have been better.”
— Jack Jennings ~ Texas Whitetail
“This was an excellent hunt and was as represented. I did stalk multiple mature bucks in the 170+ range and several over 180, one certainly not far off of 200 inches. I had 2 shots and did not connect. One was a duck at the shot (45 yds) on an alert buck and one was a deflection off a very small branch at 28 yds just over the back of a very, very good buck. I had my chance and cannot blame anyone. Accommodations were the best I have ever had on a hunt and almost felt guilty :) Deer are hunted on various private lands and it involves a lot of glassing and watching from or around a vehicle (more than I like) but I guess that's how it's done. A very good hunt and there are plenty of mature bucks to pursue. Scott at Bow & Arrow Adventures was great to work with and I could tell he truly cared from the first contact until the hunt was over....something rare these days. I recommend them and plan to use Scott and Bow & Adventures again.”
— Steve Blakeman ~ Alberta Mule Deer
“I was looking for a great antelope hunt and Scott Alberda from Bow and Arrow Adventures was awesome to find me the best place to hunt and film for the next season of Nock On TV. After several emails, Scott knew exactly what I was looking for and he came back quickly with the best outfitter. Scott takes care of everything and then I was able to book the hunt with an outffiter in Montana / Wyoming. It was a wonderful week at in Montana and Wyoming. First hunt with them and I couldn't be happier. This is a really unique place where I was able to to see hundreds of great antelopes, mule deer, whitetail and elk. The outfitter and his crew were totally over the top. I was able to film & shoot two antelopes during the week for the next season (6) of Nock On TV. The biggest one scores 74 Pope and Young.
If you are looking for the perfect agent, Scott from Bow and Arrow Adventures is the place to go! He will find what you are looking for. I'll for sure book again with him for my next adventure.
Thanks again Scott Alberda, for this awesome week.”
— Antoine Vialetay / Nock On TV ~ Montana / Wyoming Pronghorn
“Had great hunt, Scott from BNAA did not disappoint! Weather was unseasonably warm, but still saw 300, yes, 300 deer in 5 days! Took my buck 3rd day. Made a marginal shot, but we were able to recover him. Filled doe tag last day as well. Great operation for not only outstanding whitetails, but mulies, antelope and turkeys as well. I'm hoping to go back next year. Give Scott a call for a great hunt.”
— Steff Stefanovich ~ South Dakota Whitetail
“When looking for an elk hunt for our women's group of bowhunters, I called Scott from Bow and Arrow Adventures, and he was MORE than helpful, and excited in booking our group with just the right outfitter. It took a few years to draw, but bowhunting elk in the Missouri River Breaks was on my bucket list, and we had a BLAST. The outfitter and his wife are wonderful, fun people who have a great staff, no one knows his area and cares about the animals and clients more than they do. They run a great camp, and we hope to draw again in the future. Many thanks to Scott Alberda for helping make this hunt happen, and I could FINALLY take my first bull, a 6x6, with my bow! Will definitely use Scott and B&AA again. Thanks SOOO much!”
— Karen Raasch ~ Montana Elk
“I had a great hunt with Bow and Arrow Adventures in SD. I contacted Scott and he answered all my questions and arranged everything. Good experience with regard to the pre-hunt research and booking.
Outfitters have a great set-up. Separate lodge for hunters with all the modern amenities. Food was great and you won't leave hungry. Lodge is centrally located and hunting is literally just out the door. In fact, I took my buck from a great stand just a few hundred yards from the lodge. The deer are plentiful and I didn't have a sit where I saw fewer than 5-6 deer and more common was 30-40. Very happy with the overall experience.”
