Alberta mule deer hunts, elk hunts and cougar hunts in Alberta, Canada with Happy Valley Outfitters
Hunter Testimonials

	Archery Mule Deer, 2010 I've been on over 20 guided hunts and I must say I put Happy Valley Outfitters at the top of my list. When looking to go on a hunt I look for outfitters that cater to bow hunters, when Bow Hunting Safari Consultants booked me on this hunt in 2007 I knew after just a few days that I would be hunting with here multiple times. On this hunt I harvested a great 6x7 buck and three years later missed a monster. I have hunted all across North America and I believe this is the best operation I have been to too date.  You will not find a guide slash outfitter that works harder for his clients then Tyson.  Look forward to our hunt this year and many more after that.  Erick Kuhlman Oakwood, Ohio
	Archery Mule Deer, 2010 Fellow Archers, This past September I traveled to southern Alberta with my good friend Eric Kuhlman for my first spot and stalk Mule Deer hunt. Eric had hunted with Tyson a couple years earlier and took an awesome 180” class Mule Deer. Prior to the hunt Eric had told me so many good things about this hunt that let’s just say I couldn’t wait for the hunt to begin. First, the accommodations and hospitality that Tyson and his wife Angie provide is top notch. I felt like a member of the family while I was there and that is as much as anyone could ask for when being away from home. Now to the hunting, Tyson’s vast stretches of private land access on the Rockies eastern slope is so game rich. We saw Moose, Black Bear, herds of Elk and large numbers of Mule Deer nearly every day. The terrain consisting of rolling hills, ridge tops, draws and coulees offer endless glassing looking for that one animal to ignite your predatory instincts. Spotting and stalking mule deer is just that “predatory”. If your experience has been primarily hunting Whitetails via treestands as much of mine has I urge you to consider this style of hunting. It is a blast. Should you pursue your first spot and stalk Mule Deer hunt or if you are already hooked on it contact Tyson. He is an expert at his craft and I’m assured your overall hunting experience there will resonate with you for years to come. I know it will for me. Thanks again Tyson and Angie for the experience and adventure. Brian Bauer Oakwood, Ohio
	Mule Deer, Cougar and Elk (repeat hunter 2007-2010) My first connection with Happy Valley Outfitters was at our SCI fundraiser in Lansing Mi in 2007. After talking with Tyson Mackin, I bought his donated rifle mule deer hunt. The hunt was very good I took a nice old buck. For the spring of 2009 I booked a cougar hunt after seeing the size of his cats. I was able to get a great cat after a lot of work,and fun. I am going back for another cat in 2012. In 2009 I bought the donated bow mule deer for my son in law Dean Miller. Dean and Tyson hit it off as both are good bow hunters. Dean took a great deer. For the fall of 2009 I hunted a combo. elk and mule deer hunt in the mountains. The weather was rough with snow and wind, we packed in with horses and tent. It was a great time, we did not find a trophy buck and moved to a new area where we took a nice six point bull elk. Fall of 2010 Tyson and I were once again in the hills this time for Shiras moose. The first day was minus 34F. With Tyson"s persistence He put me on a nice bull on day five. Happy Valley Outfitters is a small hands on outfit. Tyson"s beautful wife will keep you fed and comfortable in their new home. I can't say enough good things about this operation.Check out the photos, and give Tyson and Angie a call.

	Mule Deer, 2010 Tyson and Angie, I wanted to thank you for providing a great Mule Deer adventure. Not only did we get an opportunity shoot a trophy mule deer, but you provided me with great hospitality and friendship. I would definitely recommend your guide service to anyone and I look forward to another adventure in the future. Ronald Goffman East Gull Lake, Minnesota
	Mule Deer, 2010 This was my first hunt with Happy Valley Outfitters but I am sure there will be more in the future. The hospitality was much more than I ever expected. Ty, Angie and Jessica made me welcome and treated me as an old friend. The amount of private land we hunted seemed endless and no other hunters! Everyday we were glassing and stalking different groups with good bucks everywhere. Tyson worked hard and never complained if I turned down lesser bucks, looking for the best one. Greg Kenyon
	Mule Deer, 2009 (repeat hunter) If you are looking for exceptional guiding services I would strongly recommend Tyson. Beyond the comfortable meals and lodging that was provided his knowledge, skill and experience in Hunting is invaluable! I have appreciated hunting a wide range of land exclusively controlled by him and never saw another hunter. I was able to enjoy viewing a variety of wildlife everyday and patient enough to harvest a very nice Mule Deer. Michael Closser Bainbridge Island, Wa
	Mule Deer, 2009 Tyson and Angie make you feel like you are hunting with long time friends. They welcomed us into their home and made a great week on hunting truly memorable. The hunting is first class with great stalkable terrain and multiple stalks on 160" plus bucks. I've hunted for Mule Deer numerous times, several in Alberta, and Happy Valley Outfitters is at the top of the list." John Barklow Kodiak, AK
	Mule Deer, 2009 "It was truly a great place for spot and stalk hunting. I harvested a great Mule Deer the second day of my bow hunt and I saw a lot of game each day. I hope to return in the future to hunt Shiras Moose, or Elk." I would recommend this hunt to anyone... Dean Miller" Dean Miller Frederic, MI
	Mule Deer, 2008 (repeat hunter) Great Country, Great Guide, Great Results. Don't know how you could ever get more " Bang for your Buck" on any hunting trip. The best of everything from start to finish. Chuck Shinabarger Bozeman, MT
	Mule Deer, 2008 (repeat hunter) My archery elk hunt with Happy Valley Outfitters was just as exciting as my previous archery hunt with them where I took a nice 4x4 mule deer. The first day of my elk hunt I had a 5X5 at 30 yards, but could not get around for a good shot. On the third day I had another opportunity that did not work out. I had other exciting stalks on some nice bulls throughout the week. The hunt, food and accommodations were excellent and I look forward to hunting with Tyson and Angie again in the future. They are great people. "Great Hunting Experience"……… Roger Casterline New York
