Having worked with other outfitters in the past, I can say that this operation is top notch.!!! Their goal is 100% customer satisfaction. During my recent Muzzleloader hunt I did not shoot a deer. I had the opportunity to shoot lots of does and saw loads of smaller Bucks, I shot at and missed a nice 8 pointer. No Excuses, I MISSED.. My fault, not theirs. I'll be back to try again. Thanks to Mike and Ronnie for a super time.

Thanks to Fair Game Outfitters for a great hunt. It started out a little slow but ended in 2 bangs from the muzzle loader. Two, eight pointers (one my son's first deer)15 min. apart from the same stand, last hour of the last day. Doesn't happen like that in New York, at least not in any part of the State that I've hunted in.

I had a incredible 5 day hunt with Ron as our guide and Mike as our host. Base camp, you couldn't have been more comfortable at home. The hunting was a great success with our group of 5 guys harvesting 5 nice North Carolina Bucks. Ron and Mike keep up the good work! We will certainly see you next year... Thank You.

I would like to thank Fair Game Outfitters for a great hunt. I took my two sons ages 14 and 12 for a 3 day hunt. The guides, Dan and Wadis did a wonderful job placing them in stands and taking the extra steps to ensure that they were properly secured with new safety harnesses that they provided. My 14 year old harvested a very nice 7 pt buck, a doe and a very respectable 8 pointer. My 12 year old had several opportunities to harvest a doe or buck, but his buck fever got the best him. I would like to thank Mike for taking the time to coach my son on his shooting skills. The hunting was great with many very nice bucks around.

Great hunt Mike. Although I could only get away for three days, I still harvested 2 eight point bucks (one will be mounted). We saw deer every day. Your accommodations and customer care are top rate and the food was great. Hunted with other outfitters in NC and can say that your operation is equal to or ahead of them all. Thanks again for the "lifetime" memories. See you at the show in February.

I hunted with Mike the middle of November 2008 . It was one of the best hunts I've ever been on. Lots of deer , excellent accomodation , guide service and food . Mike really works hard making your hunt memorable. Thanks Mike , I'll be back in 2009

I hunted the last week of October 2008. The hunt was great, saw deer everyday. I harvested 2 nice 8 pointers and a 9 pointer. This was my first year hunting with FGO and I will not only be back but, I am bringing a bunch of guys with me next year. Every thing was first rate, lodge, stands and the food....ohhh the food. Mike, Dan and Wadis are not only great guides with knowledge of the farms, they are great guys as well. They will go out of their way to get you what you need.

I hunted the 3rd week of October.
The hunt was great. My group saw deer everyday, and someone saw a buck everyday.
My group harvested a 6 pointer and a doe, and had a miss.
We all could have taken deer but we were being very selective.
The stands are safe and secure, along with comfortable, and placed in good spots with good shooting lanes.
The lodge is first class, and the food is out of this world. ( I gained 5 lbs) !!!
My group has already booked for 2009. We had a great time with Mike, Dan and Wadis, they will make you feel at home.

[Randy Wildasin]

Well what can I say? My group was the last group of the year and we all know how late season hunting can be but we still seen deer. 2 of the 4 in our group seen shooters but were not able to capitalize on the oppurtunities so I guess that is hunting. We did however see a great crop of young deer that will make next year a great time to hunt in North Carolina. I have hunted with different outfitters coast to coast and I can say that by far Mike and Fair Game Outfitters have been one of the best!!! Although we did not take a deer we had a load of fun. Mrs Anita's cooking was out of this world and you could not have asked for better food while we were there. I have already rebooked for 2009 and will be going early season instead of late season to bump my odds but Mike can put you on the deer and there are plenty of deer to be seen. Thanks again Mike and thank Mrs. Anita one more time as this was one of the best hunting trips that I will remember from the food to the hunting you truly are one of the best outfitters I have ever hunted with. (By the way I am brushing up on the poker skills to hopefully have a better showing next time!!)

I had great time in an awesome lodge.You couldn't ask for a better setting for start to a good time and great hunting trip when you enter the lodge.Then there is the food i don't even eat that good at home man o man that is some good eating this comes from some one who likes to eat!!! The binds are well maintained and yes there is corn out there believe it there is corn out there. I will be going back come hell or high water. (By the way Mike have you found the kebler elf yet i think he resides in pa but I'm not sure?!!) Well i guess i will have to come to the show to get my tube and seat from you see yah there . One other thing people might want to bring is a range finder if you are distantly challenged like me!!!!

[Rich Clute]

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mike for his hospitality on my 3 day hunt. As the owner he takes a lot of pride in everything he does, like making sure the food was prepared to perfection, the accomidations were outstanding, and even entertained us with his story time, along with his expert suggestion for a local taxidermist. I've hunted in a lot of different srates and this is the first time I ever made up my mind before leaving the town that I hunted in that was coming back the next year. Thanks again Mike for the great experience and a good new friend

My brother Karey and I checked out several places before settling on this one to hunt. We were not disappointed with our selection. (See Karey's comments)

The facilities are relatively new (only a few years old) and fully equipped – several bathrooms, huge kitchen and dining area, separate bedrooms for the hunting groups, large TV room, huge deck, and handicap accommodations. Our hunting group of four slept in the same room and the beds were somewhat close, but there was plenty of storage space for gear and clothing. The accommodations were very comfortable with ample room. We didn’t find ourselves tripping over anyone in the morning or evening, although the lodge was full most of the week.

Safety and hunting rules were clear and were thoroughly reviewed as soon as everyone had arrived at the beginning of the week.

Breakfast was continental-style - cereal, English muffins, oatmeal, fruit, etc which worked out well since the groups were getting up at different times and hurrying through breakfast to get out in the fields.

Drop-offs and pick-ups were on time, and trails back to stands were well marked - I walked in the dark a good distance (seemed at least a quarter mile) through winding paths in woods near a swamp to one stand without any difficulty. The sun was somewhat of a problem in one or two stands, but I realize that you don't always have an ideal position for a stand that works for both morning and evening, and generally the visibility from the stands was very good. Fair Game Outfitters has access to quite a bit of land and rotates the areas hunted. Everyone had at least one opportunity at a deer. Both my brother and I had several opportunities - I passed up one opportunity on the first day, then later in the week missed one and got one.

End-of-day meals were outstanding and were more than I could eat. Meals included turkey with stuffing, cranberry sauce, green beans and ham, fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, collard greens, baked ham, fried okra, beef stew over rice with mixed vegetables, and ribs (and I mean RIBS!). Desserts included pecan pie, apple pie, sweet potato pie, and other assorted pies and cakes. Meals were served when everyone returned to camp so we ate late, but it was always a good end to a long day.

I have an extensive background in quality going back to Rickover's Navy nuclear program, and I audit quality management systems for a living, so I'm not easily impressed. However, these guys did it right. I thoroughly enjoyed it and plan to do it again.

I want to thank Greg Mike and Bryan for an awesome week in NC. I shot three bucks on a 5 day hunt Monday a 6 point, Wednesday an 8 point, and then on Friday I shot a great 10 point that scored 125 and 6/8. It was the hunt of a life time! I love going down there. I'm only 15 so I haven't hunted at any other outfitter, but I'm sure that this can't be beat. I am already missing the food, it's amazing. I cant wait to go back.

[Mike Santoro]

Congratulations CJ on a truly great hunt. I have been on many paid hunts and I can't say that I have ever had that kind of success. You will remember your hunt forever and I hope we always stay on the top of your list! See you next year.

[CJ Trigger]

Defiantly if I am ever going to hunt in NC I will come to Fair Game Outfitters. I would recommend you to anyone that would ask me where they should go on a hunt. You guys gave me the hunt of my life and I'm going to keep coming back to try and beat it. It’s going to be a hard challenge but I can't wait till next year. When are u going to post my pics? Haha

[John Lake Jr.]

Had a great successful hunt. I shot a 6-Point the first night, and my Dad hot an 8-point the next morning. The food was amazing i had three porkchops. Then the pies ohh the pies. The lodge was amazing. This was my fourth North Carolina and this hunt by far is my favorite. You got me my first big buck. Thanks Mr. Mike for an awesome three day Hunt. I will never forget it.

[Mike Santoro]

Thanks John, you guys were great! Hope to see you next year!

[Brian Rock]

Hey Mike, just wanted to check in and say thanks again for the great time. You, Bryan, and Greg were great, the food wasn't too bad either. Looks like the rest of the season has been going pretty good. Thanks again and I'll see you at the show.
