Brett & Julie Todd,

I really don’t know where to start with the elk hunt starting September 15, 2008. I never dreamed that it would be such awesome time with family and friends. The horseback ride to camp was great with all the beautiful scenery but not as bad on the behind as I thought it would be. Susan the cook; could cook about anything you would want, the meals were 5 star rated .The hunting was great too; our group of four, all scored with nice elk which made the hunt that much more unforgettable even more the other two hunters in our camp scored too, one with an elk the other with a mule deer. The guides Brett, Brandon and Guy were the top of the line. They new all the tricks of the trade to get you close enough for the kill or bring the game to you for the kill. Jerry was our packer and he did an awesome job taking the kills out and bringing in fresh supplies, we kept him busy. The camp was clean and very relaxing we didn’t have any trouble sleeping and the scenery was just gorgeous. Brett has two camps one with 6 people and the other with 4, and 5 of the 10 people were returning, some for multiple times I think that says a lot about this outfitter guides and family. I know for me, my sons and friend that this adventure will be a talked about for many years to come, and if I am able I will do it again. Thanks again Brett & Julie Todd and the K LAZY 3 OUTFITTERS AND GUIDES.

Have a great day and I shot straight,

Brett,

I am writing to express my deepest appreciation for the “wilderness experience” that you made possible recently over the early archery Elk season for 2008.  Although the Elk hunt was the excuse and stated focus, your camp, crew, and personal perspective ensured that I did not miss out on the “wilderness experience” regardless of the outcome of the hunting.  That said, the hunting was beyond description.  Seeing and hearing Elk every day is more than can ever be expected in any area.  When it takes more than one hand to count the number of times that I was within 30 of elk I am glad my heart is healthy.  While I missed a shot at a nice bull with my arrow (but smacked that tree good), I come away with the elation of having been presented with an opportunity to get a shot off with bow and arrow which is a testament to your skills as a guide (just not my ability to keep cool).  In addition, the challenge presented by the terrain and effort necessary to make such opportunities possible were themselves a welcome part of the experience.

On my return, I find myself telling stories of the wonderful wilderness, incredible crew, fellow camp inhabitants, and tough stock while maintaining a beaming grin on my face.  After finishing with stories of the animals I was able to get close to, I usually need prompting by the listener to indicate whether I harvested an animal.  It is not that I am not intensely focused on this element or that I lack desire to accomplish this goal, it is simply that the whole of the experience is so filled with satisfaction that this seems to be only a part.  My return also reintroduced me to the tremendous stresses that occupy my life currently, but my time in the mountains brought these into new perspective and left me with a refreshed vigor.

I have hunted in several locations including Kodiak for bear and Mexico for Mule deer with other outfitters and believe it is simply not fair to compare them to the experience I enjoyed with KLazy3.  Although it is abundantly obvious that I have quite strongly feelings about the experience, I have to separate out a component that I feel is absolutely unique, the KLazy3 crew.  The respect I have for each member of the crew is complete.  There are many reasons that I could list but two of the most important are their true respect, passion, understanding of the wilderness and their personal integrity.  Spending time with these individuals in any setting is a valued experience but even greater during the wilderness experience.  It is no surprise to find these characteristics in the crew given the character and integrity of Brett, Julie and the Todd family. 

I am more than happy to serve as a reference (and warn them about metal attracting trees).

Thank you again for such an amazing experience,

Steve Wendell

To Brett,
I just wanted to say "Thank-you" for a great week of hunting that I will always remember, and for the stories I will relive for years to come.

It was truly a memorable experience; from the camp, to the guides, the wonderful views, and "Johnny Walker", my trustee ride back to camp each night after a long day of hunting.

Just a word about you and Wade. I appreciate everything "ya'll" did to help me get my trophy mulie; and afterwards arranging to get the meat processed, sent to me and finding a taxidermist for the mount. You certainly went above and beyond the call of duty! I will see you at Meadow Creek Camp in 2006!

Thanks again,

Greg Hartley
B'ham, Al.

P.S. How about that shot!

Dear Mr. Bret Todd

We sure had an awesome time in the Scapegoat Wilderness at Camp Creek. Everything was top notch to the ride and pack in, the camp equipment, and the animals. We saw elk herds almost every day, even though they seemed to appear across the next drainage area like they knew they were safe from us!! Got a nice long stalk on a huge mule deer till dark. Jumped another buck during the week. They sure don't wait around. The herd I shot the elk out from, I had seen for 3 days straight. The first night, it got dark before I could get into effective range. Second night, they came out on top at dusk, while I was back down by the bottom. Finally, the last night, they were there early and back down below which allowed a fun stalk through the burn on the other side. The shot was 279 yards. But the awesome part was hearing all the bugles for those 3 evenings. Though it was a looong walk back each night to camp. Anyways, thanks again for providing us a memorable hunting experience.

Sincerely,

Michael E. Carson

ELK HUNTING IN MONTANA

by Dan Zarembinski

"The trip itself was an 8 day adventure! It was a trip that I will never forget the rest of my life or should I say my rear end will never let me forget. The trip started with a 6 1/2 hour horse ride to camp to get set up for the 6-day hunt to start the next day at sunrise.

The camp (Meadow Creek) itself is located on a small creek in the valley of the mountains, where the scenery was unbelievable. The camp provided everything from hot meals to hot showers. Almost like the "Holiday Inn". Every morning Brett (Sarge) would wake you up and let you know that the coffee is on. Once in the mess tent eating a hearty breakfast Brett would review the day's itinerary. After breakfast we all just saddled up and went to our locations for the day. Each day the cooks prepared a great bag lunch for out in the field. The guides were always ahead of the game making sure that the horses were ready and they knew the location we were going. Upon returning at the end of the day the food was always hot and delicious. We definitely never went hungry.

The hunt results were tremendous. We shot 3 bulls; a 5 x 5, 6 x 6, and 6 x 7 for 6 hunters and had 4 other opportunities. The opening day, 2 of the 3 bulls were shot. The third bull was shot on day 3. Even with the hunting pressure at its peak every day brought opportunities for all of us. On day 3, my brother Tom who scored a 5 x 5 on the opener had a 7 x 7 broad side 20 feet from him as he lay in the fallen trees. The last opportunity came at the last minute of the hunt. That's what I call an exciting hunt. When you can see elk from day 1 to day 6.
