Butch Manasse Outdoor Adventures & Safaris Worldwide has been in operation for over 15 years, full time. In that time we have grown to 20,000 clients and over 300 outfitters, located all around the Globe! 

We book many hundreds of hunting and fishing trips every year on virtually every continent and all over the US. To put it very simply, we have grown because our clients have come to trust our integrity- WE TELL IT LIKE IT IS!
COLORADO #231     HUNT TROPHY MULIES
A look at some of these pictures tells you most of what you need to know! This Outfitters clients harvest huge mule deer in the 170 to 200 class, and he does it with consistency.

If you've been collecting Colorado points, then this is an excellent option. You can draw this hunt with usually (4-6) points.  He hunts 14,000 acres of private land(Unit #83) in an area where  not a lot of tags are issued. So very little pressure on the deer and this outfitter normally takes only 7 to 8 hunters per year, and that includes bow, rifle and muzzleloader.
The outfitter typically guides all the hunters and it is also normally a one on one hunt, meaning one hunter per guide (him).  This insures personal service and an experienced guy who knows the deer, knows the terrain and knows the tactics that work! And you are hunting 100% of the time for yourself.  The formula works well as the pictures demonstrate!

You will stay in a local motel. Meals are included in price.  Lunch is usually sandwiches in the field as he hunts hard. But the hunt is physically relatively easy. You typically glass the open terrain until you find a suitable deer, then make a stalk. He does have a few  areas that require a hike to get into- if you are up for that.
In terms of success he normally runs 100% on both opportunity and kill! Luck of course always plays a role, especially for deer over 180, but he produces them with consistency!
We consider this a true value as many outfitters on the Eastern Plains of Colorado are charging at or near 10k for a hunt of this caliber.
The Archery and Muzzle Loader Hunts should not be overlooked. The outfitter took Mule Deer in the 190's on  both of these hunts in 2015.

NAMIBIA #173   BOW HUNTING ONLY CONCESSION
This is a premiere Archery destination and has been incredibly successful for many years. We have sent dozens of clients here and some very well known figures from the Archery world have taped shows and hunted here. There is probably not a better bow hunting operation anywhere in Africa! 

Some may be almost as good, but we absolutely believe there are none better. They have operated since their inception exclusively as a bow hunting operation. No guns going bang here! 
            NOTE: ONLY FOUR OPENINGS LEFT FOR 2016!!!

They have over 10,000 acres of totally free range bow hunting only, private ground that they have improved steadily every year. It is now a paradise for bow hunting with the many waterholes they have built, the growth they have stimulated, and an incredible assortment of kudu, eland, gemsbok, warthogs and much more. Seeing many dozens of animals and a variety of species daily is commonplace.
At the lodge, you can relax under the stars while sitting around a blazing fire enjoying your favorite beverage, or relax in the Jacuzzi after a successful hunt. All hunts are recorded on DVD and can be viewed in our luxurious trophy room where satellite TV and Free Wi-Fi Internet access is also available. And you are presented with a copy of the video of your hunt when you leave!! Hunting here is generally Ala Carte- meaning you only pay for what you shoot or wound. So you pay the Daily Rates, plus their trophy fees. Please contact us for full details on trophy fees etc.

They can arrange tours, fishing and animal viewing and photo shoots for any non-observers, or perhaps a tour of Etosha Park. Many options exist in addition to the pool and tennis courts.
 
DAILY RATES 2016
1 Client / 1 Guide (Plains game) - $ 380.00
2 Clients / 1 Guide (Plains game)- $ 300.00
Non-hunters (per person) - $ 175.00

NEW BRUNSWICK #213  SPRING/FALL BLACK BEAR
These folks have been at or close to 100% for a number of years!  With the new 2014 two bear limit, you can shoot the first good bear you see and then hold out for a bruiser on the second tag.

They maintain many bait stations - far more than needed. The main Lodge is practically new, of peeled cedar logs, with a gorgeous stone fireplace. The River is right in front of the Lodge, so a hot shower, and then sitting on the porch with a cold beer is a fine relaxing time!

They very rarely have anyone go home without a bear! Bears will average between 5 to 6.5 feet, meaning nice mature bears in the 200 to 250 pound range and some much larger.  
AS OF FALL 2014 THERE IS NOW A 2 BEAR LIMIT!

We like the surroundings here, the nearby river and forest, the comfortable quarters, friendly folks, new lodge, good food, fishing out the front door, plenty of bears, and very close to the eastern Seaboard! And all this at an incredibly reasonable price. Also you normally will get a few hours of fishing in each morning if you rise early enough.

5 Day One Bear Hunting Trip:  $1995    SPRING OR FALL 
5 Day 2 bear hunt: $2495

                 


ALASKA #100    CARIBOU HUNT- DIY OR GUIDED
We just spoke with this outfitter to check on his 2015 results. He was laughing about his first caribou hunt of the year, which took place the first week In September. That was the only time his clients could come; but he warned them it was probably too early for the herds to have migrated in. However some cold weather came in--- and he was forced to buzz the camp landing strip to chase away the hundreds of caribou! That was a heck of a start to a great year! 

This outfitter does both DIY hunts for groups of hunters, or he will provide guided trips. He flies his own plane, and we consider him to be extremely skilled and highly organized, Butch moose hunted with him a few years back.  These hunts are based out of Kotzebue. You will be hunting the largest caribou herd in Alaska, the Western Arctic herd, which numbers over 350,000 caribou. The Mulchatna herd is not doing well, but this Western Arctic herd is in excellent condition with lots of trophy animals. You are allowed now to take two caribou here. 

Hunter success on both guided and unguided hunts usually runs between 90-100%. But every so often the bou just do not show up- and that can happen.  The outfitter's camps are mobile and he relocates them as the herd moves along its migration route, to ensure you the highest opportunity for success.
 
We always advise taking the first decent bull you see, then trophy hunt.  You can also take wolves at no extra charge. Wolves require a $30 tag. During Butch's 2011 hunt one client took a gorgeous black wolf using a predator call. (HINT!) All prices include airport pickup, and charter transport to the field and back.  
      
5-Day Unguided Caribou Hunt $3,150  Aug 25th - Oct 10th
Licenses: $325 per caribou and $85 for hunting license. Buy on line before arrival!

5 Day Guided 2x1 Caribou Hunt... 2 caribou  $6995                       
Observer: $400/day.

Unguided Includes:  Airport pickup, air transportation in/out of field, food,  6-person Guide Model dome tent, cots, stove, propane, pots, pans, and cooking utensils, water containers, transportation of meat, cape, and antlers back to Kotzebue, and expediting assistance.

MEXICO #265  DISCOUNTED COUES & GOULDS TURKEY
 This just came in from one of our favorite outfitters in
Mexico. He has a last minute Coues hunt DISCOUNTED $1500- NOW ONLY $3500

This outfitter's clients are his best advertising. They report seeing Coues bucks daily, and often seeing 5 to 20 deer or more during the course of their hunt. They report excellent food (most say they gain weight); very good guides, excellent deer sizes and very good numbers of Coues deer. Here are a couple of quotes:

"Would do this hunt again in a heartbeat"- CF.
"Will cherish this hunt for a lifetime" - JW.
"Excellent food, lodging, guides and equipment. Felt very safe. All papers in order -easy border crossing"- TP.

These hunts generally sell for $5000, but with a recent  cancellation, he's offering it for $3500.  If you can travel light, and fast, and have always wanted to add a Great Coues to your trophy room, grab this one. Dates Jan 8-15, or Jan 19-26. 

The outfitter will meet you at the airport in El Paso, spend that night there, and the outfitter, for an extra $150 per hunter, will transport you round trip. BMOA prefers that method for our clients, and it gives you a chance to get acquainted with your outfitter during the ride.
The outfitter will secure all permits for crossing the border and he will be with you all the time - both into and out of Mexico and he will assist with US CUSTOMS. Of course you will need a passport and a Customs form 4457 for your firearm, (with this short notice, the outfitter will give you use of his top quality rifles if requested).  This is also one of the best places in Mexico to get that Gould's Turkey.

GOULD'S TURKEY: (4 day hunt) 4 hunter group
Limit: One Gobbler (second bird for an additional $1,000 if tags are available)
Price: $2,250

2016 GOULD'S TURKEY HUNT DATES:

ARGENTINA #39  RED STAG, WATER BUFFALO & MORE
OVER 150 SUCCESSFUL CLIENTS! 
2016 FILLING UP FAST, BOOK NOW.

After doing a bunch of research about 14 years ago, we located and have since hunted four times personally, with a WORLD CLASS outfitter/rancher in Argentina. His ranch is large (approximately 55 square miles) with nearly 65% of it being bush on which no cattle are allowed. 

Days are typically one long- never ending stalk, with rarely more than 30 minutes going by without seeing a stag. During the prime roar, a good morning hunt might show you 10 to 15 big stags, a slow morning 3 to 6! (Not counting the roars you pass on.)

If you like elk or horned game, you must do this hunt- MUST!!
Truly an unforgettable experience. Think about all the elk hunters who hunt years for just one representative bull--spending thousand of dollars every year, and then realize that here - they would turn down more animals in a single day then most of them would see in a lifetime of elk hunting! And the horns on these stags can be huge despite being free range wild red stags. Herd culling and new genetics is pushing up the average size every year. A patient hunter should take a large 7X7 or a really big 6X6, and you normally will have multiple opportunities.

LODGING: Rooms are private double occupancy rooms and private baths. Daily laundry is done! Meals are among the finest meals we had ever eaten in any camp.  There is an endless supply of excellent Argentine wine, fine beef and beer available
 
Any package can be arranged, for any number of days, for any number of animals.

"I just wanted to let you know that we just got back and had an amazing time hunting in Argentina! This was the best hunting trip I have ever been on.  Thank you so much for helping us arrange this trip. I will be filling out the hunt report and recommending this hunt to everyone I know!"
 
To catch roaring stags you want to hunt in March and April. Those are equivalent to our September and October. Prime dates for these hunts are being grabbed now, so it is time to get serious.
   
HUNTING SEASON 2016 (All hunts are 4 days/5 nights)
Option 1-  1 red stag any size, 4 days/5 nights = $ 5,100
Option 2-  1 red stag, 1 day dove hunting = $5,700
Option 3-  1 red stag, 1 Blackbuck = $5,900
Option 4-  1 red stag, 1 Blackbuck, 1 day dove hunting= $6,800 
Option 5-  1 red stag, 1 Cull stag = $ 6,000
Option 6-  1 red stag, 1 Water Buffalo, 1 Blackbuck = $9,300   
   
Add to that, food that is excellent, guides that are very accomplished and great fun to hunt with, and very nice accommodations!

ALASKA #100    GIANT BROWN BEAR SPRING 2016
      
We know and like this outfitter a bunch. He is a licensed and registered fishing guide and hunting guide plus is an excellent bush pilot that owns his own plane. 
He is personable, friendly, easy to get along with, and he has been quietly producing some outstanding trophies of all his species for his clients with very high success rates. The outfitter's clients have taken brown bear to 11 feet 7 inches!

A few years ago a client called Butch. He had booked on his own with another outfit, and never saw a brownie. He still had a valid tag though and wanted to use it. Butch made a special arrangement to have him go to this outfitter's Peninsula camp and hang out until someone scored so he had a guide - (which did not take long!). Then this client, Larry B - got to try his luck. He passed on an 8.5 footer, chased a 10.5 footer and ended up killing a 10' plus!! Larry said this:

"Butch -I enthusiastically recommend you and this outfitter to anyone who wants to actively stalk the planet's biggest bears in their best habitat with a very successful, well-equipped outfit that gets up and goes after the game!"

In 2016, being an even numbered year, means these bears are hunted in the Spring,  He sets up a number of spike camps, and has the ability to move people from a camp if hunting is slow. He kills some true giants- honest 9 to 10 footers, and even two over 11 feet! Base camp is wall tents with 6-man dome tents for sleeping. Spike camps are the dome tents with cots. Spring season dates normally are around May 10-25 with two 8 day hunts.
