My first experience with AITW and Dave Mason was in 1995 on a caribou hunt out of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. My son and I took beautiful bulls and had a great time doing it.
In 2008 (five hunts later through AITW), I bagged the trophy of my lifetime – a magnificent 59" Bull Moose.
I’m 61 years old and have been hunting big game for over 40 of those years and I’ve never had better experiences than with Dave & AITW. No outfitter has ever come close to providing the detail of information and research that AITW puts into preparing the hunter for the hunt. I wouldn’t trust a future hunt to anyone else.

Words alone can not express how happy I am with the services offered by Dave Mason, and all of his staff at Adventures in The Wild.
I have hunted all across the United States and Canada, but over the years there were some hunts that I went on, that did not turn out very well. Then I got ahold of Dave & Beth Mason at Adventures in The Wild in 2005, since then what ever Dave tells me I listen. Dave is a straight shooter, does extensive research and he always tells it like it is.
Dave & Beth have set me up on three great and successful hunting adventures. In 2006, I went on a Polar Bear hunt through AITW and I harvested a magnificent bear. In 2007, on my second hunt with AITW I harvested a beautiful Arctic wolf, and that fall on my third hunt with AITW I took an awesome Dall ram. I have booked my fourth hunt with Dave & Beth for the fall of 2009 and hope to come back with a trophy class brown bear from Alaska.
If your looking for a very honest and sincere adventure broker I highly recommend using the services provided by Dave & Beth Mason and their staff at Adventures in The Wild.

*****************************************
Dave Mason of AITW,
I wanted to thank you and your staff at AITW for an Alaskan adventure I won't soon forget. The two hunts I went on in 2004, (Caribou & moose drop hunts), were both successful even though I only harvested one bull caribou. All of the information your service provided from the gear list to the recommended food list to the moose field care/judging tape were top notch. Any one that pays attention to your information will be prepared for their hunt. The flight service during my two hunts as well as AITW also did everything on these adventures exactly as described.
I can not say enough about how much I appreciate the invitation to join Dave Mason, the president of AITW, on a remote moose float hunting trip in the fall of 2005. After the mishaps on my 2004 moose drop hunt, which were not due to AITW, being offered a free moose drop hunt in 2006 and the invitation to hunt with you Dave in 2005, is something you just hear of now days. It really says a lot about the people that make up the AITW adventure team.
I look forward to many more adventures in years to come with the folks at Adventures in the Wild!

************************************
I have used the services of Adventures in the Wild on three hunts. The first was for Whitetail Deer on Anticosta Island in Quebec, the second for Moose on the Alaska Peninsula, and the third for trophy Caribou on the North Slope of Alaska. Each of these hunts were 100% successful for me. Every detail of my hunts were expertly handled by the staff of Adventures in the Wild, from the initial planning to the return trip home. I highly recommend Adventures in the Wild to any hunter who is looking for a great hunt with few hassles.
Sincerely,
John A. Kiser

************************************
I have used Adventures in the Wild and Dave Mason to plan the last seven (7) hunts for my group of hunters. The planning advice was exceptional, the price was right, the service was great and the trips were as described.

************************************
My experience using the services of Adventures in the Wild has been great. My Caribou and Moose hunt on the North Slope of Alaska was fantastic. I harvested trophy bulls of both species. My wife and I also used Adventures in the Wild when we booked a fishing trip to Ontario, Canada. This trip was a great success as well. My wife caught her largest fish ever, a 15 lb. Northern Pike. We both recommend Adventures in the Wild for your next out door adventure.

I've hunted across the U.S. and Canada for 30+ years and Adventures in the Wild has been involved for 15 of those years. I've enjoyed many fishing and hunting trips with Dave and his outfitters; they go out of their way to ensure your adventure is not only successful but also enjoyable.

*************************************
I and my family have been on many exciting memorable adventures with "Adventures in the Wild." Such as hunting in Utah taking a 5 by 5 Bull Elk, hunting in Canada taking a 53" Bull Moose, Quebec Canada taking a trophy Bull Caribou, Minnesota taking a 2400 lb. Buffalo, also hunting in a shooting preserve in Iowa taking a Texas Dall Sheep, a 26 lb. Wild Turkey, and a 300 lb. Wild Boar. Our numerous fishing trips have been most memorable as a family in Canada. Using Adventures in the Wild for us has been very successful and fun. We plan on using them in the future. Thanks again Adventures in the Wild!
Sincerely,
Duwayne Hand & Family
*************************************
I have been an agent selling hunting trips with Adventures in the Wild since the start of the company. I have personally been on these trips to Quebec hunting Caribou twice, to Oregon hunting Black Bear, twice to Alaska hunting Caribou, Black Bear and Moose and to Minnesota for a bison hunt. My clients have had a very good success rate on their trips, and the main reason is all the research that goes into lining up good outfitters that give you what they say they will.
