Dear Carl, Sandra and Chris
Just a quick note to say a very big thank you for your amazing hospitality
during our fabulous trip to Crystal Springs. It was a wonderful experience
and a unique opportunity to gain knowledge on your way of life and
to see first hand the wonderful waterfowl your part of the world has
to offer, some amazing images that will stay with me for life. Sandra
a special heartfelt thank you to you especially for your wonderful
food for taking such great care of us while away from home. Maybe
you'd send some recipes on to me so I can give them to my wife ha
ha!!!!! Carl thank you personally for showing me the surrounding areas,
and for sharing with me your vast knowledge of the ecology of your
very special land. A very big thank you to everyone who made our holiday
so memorable. Hopefully not our last. Until our paths cross again
may God go with you.
Your friend, Nick Shaw
May the road rise to meet you and the sun be
always on your back.

Dear Carl
I can't thank you enough for the great hunt we had in Sept. I am so
looking forward to next Sept. Inclosed is my check for $2400 for a
deposit on next years hunt and I hope to add 1 or 2 more hunters by
that time. Thank you again. Your friend Vern. PS If God is willing
and the dam doesn't break we'll see you in September.
Carl, To say we enjoyed our trip would be an understatement.
The hunting, the hospitality, the food, just the whole experience
was equal to or better than any trip I've ever had, and I've been
on many!!!!! I would like to keep the same week next year as we discussed,
but I need to know what your rates will be for 2007 for both a 3 day
and a five day hunt. I won't have trouble finding people to go after
our hunt this year. That would be coming in on Sept. 30 and hunting
through Oct. 5th 2007.

Glad to see you included a photo of my second favorite spot in Canada,
the dining room table (the first being any field you and Jack have
scouted)"

We all really had quite an extraordinary experience from the first
class service, excellent food and lodging, the beautiful geography
nature and natural surroundings in Saskatchewan, to last but not least
a very productive fun and varied hunt. Please give Jack, Vern, and
Sandra our very best, we too believe we've made some friends and look
forward to next year. Thanks for your passion for the beauty and nature
of Canada and the history lesson on the rides to and from the airport!"
Best Regards

"Carl
I just wanted to drop you a short note to let you know that I had a
blast. The whole experience was one of the most awesome hunting experiences
I have ever had. You, Sandra, Vern, and Jack were the most gracious
of hosts and made every attempt to cater to what we wanted. I had a
blast, even though my head was killing me. The food, accommodations
and hunts were great......
I need to know if you want me to bring a film crew up and showcase Tiger
Hills..... I just need to know how much business you really want. I
gave your name to three groups on the plane who weren't happy with the
outfitter they used.....I think you have what it takes to be the premier
outfitter in Canada mainly because of your attititude and service.....
Again, please let everyone know that we think you guys are the tops,
eh!
Again, thank you for the experience."
