Outfitters by species

I know myself and others have been asking about outfitters for different species to help out with finding good places to go. I thought it would be good to have a thread of outfitters people have used with positive experiences for different species

I think its a good question/thought. If one doesn't have access to land locally or friends they can ride shotgun with or someone like an internet stranger who says "come on out and ill get you pointed in the right direction" after some phone discussion etc.. an outfitter may be your most feasible option for a bucket list hunt.
An example is Merriams which is now on my bucket list. My goal is to go at by free lancing as I've done with upland birds out west and Canada, but when you start looking at a 3000 to 6000 mile round trip you gotta have your ducks in a row or its a long arse ride. Having a contact, friend or stranger who becomes a friend etc can really turn that experience into a lifetime experience.

Honestly after doing my trip to the black hills diy style I was adding up cost and after almost coming home empty handed the outfitter route might not be a bad idea. I'm interested to hear the suggestions

Since I do outfit a limited number of hunts myself I have a different perspective that just that of a customer.  Sure I can put a guy on birds but for the total experience when it's Rio's look no farther than Stuart Ranch in Oklahoma.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

Good topic lets keep it going.
