Dagestan Tur – Azerbaijan
My tur hunt 2016 was a blast!
I booked this hunt at the start of the year with Yogi. I told him, I wanted a hunt that was great value for money and an amazing experience with some hard hunting. Well, this was beyond expectations!
Yogi did an amazing job from start to finish with having all the paper work needed to even coming along on the hunt with me. WOW!
He also filmed the hunt and I just received a copy of my video! Even better to be able to look back and experience it over and over again.
I am going back for sure!
Thanks again Yogi!
Cheers

Hi JR
Thank you for a great trip to Namibia!
My hunt in the remote and wild northern part of the country was very successful and exciting. I am very pleased that I was able to take nice trophies of kudu, eland and zebra among others. Especially hunting on foot and tracking the animals in this beautiful terrain was an incredible experience.
The hospitality in this place, beautiful camp, great food and variety of hunting opportunities in this stunning wilderness made for a great experience and safari.
I am already thinking of returning here one day soon.

Mountain Goat – British Columbia
It had always been my wish for my 60th birthday to hunt for mountain goat in the wilderness of British Columbia. With Yogi Rausch I had a good feeling about realizing my dream of a nice billy. After plenty of questions and quick answers, I booked my hunt through him. The fact that he accompanied me as a guide on my hunt also was a great bonus. In BC everything was arranged as discussed. Yogi told us we would hunt in a new part of the hunting area, an area where most likely nobody had hunted before. The autumn scenery and the endless wilderness with valleys and mountains was an unforgettable experience. And so were the sightings of many grizzly bears and other species as well. Everybody involved in this hunt did their utmost to help us and after a tough and exhausting mountain hunt I had reached my goal. A heavy 11-year-old billy had hit the dirt. I want to wish the whole crew continued success and thank you very much for your friendship!

The hunt in Australia was fantastic throughout the whole trip. Lovely accommodations, very good food and friendly service from everybody in camp. My guide’s knowledge of where to find the big bulls and his experience in how to get close to them were truly impressive. The affluence of game was unbelievable.

Black Bear – British Columbia
Compared to other booking agents, Yogi always answered all my questions without hesitation and was continuously on hand to help with any minor issues that occurred while on our bear hunt.
The hunt took place in fascinating scenery in the Rocky Mountains with an outstanding guide who knew exactly what he was doing. If you want to hunt for black bear I can definitely recommend JR Hunting.
Thanks Yogi!

Beceite Ibex – Spain
Two years ago at a hunting convention in Las Vegas, I met with Yogi to go over our Hunt in Australia and the upcoming Roe Deer hunt in his home country of Sweden! At the convention [that my wife attended with me] we discussed another European type hunt that I may be interested in where 1) the animal would be horned or antlered, 2) the area would have to be scenic, diversified, possibly contain a lot of history, and where my non-hunting wife would be comfortable and find it enjoyable. After a small pause, Yogi said I have the perfect hunt/vacation for you to go to. He then proceeded to bring myself and my wife over to meet with his outfitter for hunts in Spain. After meeting and talking with the outfitter for about an hour, we set up and booked a seven day combined hunt for Gredos Ibex and Mouflon Sheep, along with three days of touring. The hunt/tour we experienced was a perfect ten! Not only did I take good trophy quality animals, the outfitter took both of us on great first class tours of that part of Spain. We toured historic villages and areas that tourists would not see with a tour group or even on their own. And as a bonus, I was able to enjoy a bird hunt in a small town, known for its vineyards. As what is becoming normal with hunts/trips coordinated by Yogi, it was first class and better yet, has my wife asking, WHEN ARE WE GOING BACK!

Yogi
Thanks for arranging a great hunt for me and my family. I really appreciate your help from my first inquiry until we got home and you really made the effort to make us feel well looked after. Traveling with wife, mother in law and 3 daughters as non-hunting companions could be a challenge, but everything went smooth and it was a great experience to have my wife with me when stalking the ibex in the Gredos mountains. The choice of outfitter was excellent and we are all very pleased and are already planning our next hunt.

Thanks JR for a very enjoyable and exciting hunt!
The service was professional at all times and personal as well. I can highly recommend this hunt! Especially to hunters who enjoy hunting with skilled hounds. This is hunting at its best for very wild pray in breathtaking scenery.

Moose – British Columbia
Dear Yogi
When my brothers and I decided to go to Canada to hunt a big moose, a friend of us recommended the hunt to be organized by JR Hunting.
We could not be more glad to have chosen JR. From the very first moment after booking it, we received lots of practical and useful information to prepare ourselves for this amazing experience.
Since our arrival at Grande Prairie Airport, where Yogi was waiting for us, the way in which the outfitter, guides and their families looked after us was remarkable. The camps were comfortable, the food delicious and the people very friendly.
The ten days of hunting were hard, but JR’s guys never gave up and we were rewarded.
The hunt took place in woodland with beautiful scenery; we had sun, rain and even snow what made hunting even more exciting. We saw white tail deer, foxes, lynxes and a grizzly bear. JR’s guides were really knowledgeable of the animals and their habitat.
On the second day I missed a great opportunity to take a beautiful moose as I messed up with my shooting stick.
A few days later, at about 250 meters, we saw a big bull calling. There were other bulls and cows around too. The guide asked me to shoot and I did. Initially the animal carried on walking, and when I was getting ready for my second shot the bull turned around and went down…my feelings in that moment can only be understood by a hunter! We had delicious moose meat for dinner that evening!
Finally a big thank you to Yogi and the people of Canada for making our first hunting trip to British Columbia so special and unforgettable.
A grizzly bear is our next challenge and of course we are looking forward to having JR Hunting at our side.
Looking forward to seeing you again on a hunting trip in Canada or somewhere else in the world!

Roebuck – Sweden
Hi Yogi
For the first couple of days of our vacation in Sweden, we had booked a roe buck hunt for one of the trophy bucks in your hunting area. The warm embrace of you and your family made us feel at home right away. In the evening prior to the start of the hunt, we went for a walk and did some scouting in the area. We managed to spot plenty of roe deer, some good bucks as well as a few moose. The roe deer rut was almost over which opened up for some calling tactics in order to try to get a big buck still in search for a doe to come into shooting range.
The next morning on August 16, opening day of the roe buck season in Sweden, we stalked through the hunting area at first light. Conditions were perfect, but at first we did not see any bucks, just some does and a fox. After about an hour, while stalking along a creek amongst some fields, we spooked a doe and fawn which almost made us leave this part of the area to try our luck somewhere else. But instead a big buck moved out of the timber wondering who was chasing his does around. This gave us a second chance and we managed to call the buck in to about 70 yards. One shot and the buck went down! All of us were really excited when we finally saw the beautiful, massive and gnarly trophy this old buck was carrying. Truly hunting at its finest! The remaining days, we spent sightseeing, fishing and visiting with your family and relatives in the stunning archipelago outside of Stockholm.
Thank you very much for those wonderful days.

Dagestan Tur – Azerbaijan
Yogi,
you were a tremendous help in referring and executing our Dagestan Tur mountain hunt. This hunt was, by far, the most physically challenging hunt either my dad or I have ever experienced. You gave us the confidence in your local contacts, provided an excellent understanding of what to expect during the hunt, and helped find our Tur on the mountain at 350 yards before our heart and spine shots. Thank you for making this once-in-a-lifetime hunting opportunity possible, and we would strongly recommend this hunt for those looking for a physically and mentally challenging extreme mountain hunt.
