BE 205 – Oregon UPLAND
Competition and fun. The only way to describe this hunt with Mr. Stephen LeBlanc and Bill Norton, Native Utah hunter and guide. Hunting for the Grand Slam, these fine gentlemen go for Pheasant, Hungarian Partridge, Chucker, and Quail all the while, going for each other. Who said competition can’t be fun?
BE 206 – New Zealand, South Island Red Stag, Chamois, and Elk
Not only is New Zealand one of the most beautiful, it is also one of the most exotic countries on earth. Nothing shows that more than the diversity in big game the South Island has to offer. Stephen LeBlanc and his good friend Dwayne Flynn tackle some of the roughest terrain possible as they search for Chamois, Elk, and Red Stag. Better be in good shape for this hunt!
BE 207 – Texas WHITETAIL
Nothing pleases a parent more than being able to spend time with their kids, especially when they are grown and out of the house. Mr. Stephen LeBlanc gets the opportunity to go on a Whitetail hunt with his daughter, Renee, down in Texas. What makes this hunt particularly exciting is the fact that Renee is an artist as well. Unlike her father, the sculptor, she fancies the canvas as a painter. Searching for the perfect Whitetail so they can recreate a moment in time for the both of them.
