About us, our services
and from our clients !
• Flying
British Airways to go hunting has gotten pricier. Since early
October 2009, BA is charging £50 ($82 US) each way for a firearm, and
has decreased its free checked baggage allowance.As good hunting and fishing lands disappear and natural habitats are destroyed by man-made development, our clients rely on us to be their resource to take them to destinations where they can continue to enjoy a quality outdoor experience.
"Brian and Doris are my trusted resource in finding and accomplishing a hunting adventure, valued as much by me as the right rifle or favorite sleeping bag. In guiding me to the best opportunities, scouting the multiple outfitters and stalking the right air travel, they have never failed at delivering, glassing each detail such that the trip is flawless. An outfitter once told me that he had no worry for any forgotten issue, knowing they had arranged the trip. For nearly thirty years, I had always taken great pride investigating and arranging every aspect of my own hunts. Now, I cannot imagine taking care of all these details myself, knowing there are two people I can trust and depend to deliver the best possible trip. I had used different services in the past, but have never found anyone to feel enthusiasm or interest in what I was dreaming. Many had left me with the distinct feeling that my plans were somehow less important than others traveling to more exotic places. I consider Brian and Doris now as good friends, and hunting comrades, even though I have never had the pleasure to meet them face to face. Do yourself a favor, give Brian and Doris the opportunity to plan your trip of a lifetime."

"I met Brian and Doris Maloney [owners of the Outdoor Connection office based in Central Iowa] at the Iowa Deer Classic in Des Moines, Iowa. A friend and I were planning a Caribou hunt but weren't sure where we wanted to go. Brian and Doris were very helpful in giving us options of which species of Caribou to hunt, where to hunt and the outfitters available."
"This was my first hunting trip to Canada and Doris made the outfitter booking, flight arrangements and the process of transporting the rifles to my destination simple and problem free. I plan to use Brian and Doris' service again in the future for other hunting adventures. Thanks Doris for all of your help in making my hunt successful and enjoyable."

"I first met Doris and Brian at a show in Des Moines. I had asked them particularly about an August Musk Ox hunt. They had the information on hand and relayed it to me in straight forward explanation. I found them to be friendly and informative."
"Several months later I found myself wanting to arrange a trip with my 19 year old son. I didn't know where to go, just wanted to go away for a 5-7 day trip and do some fishing. I did the usual web search and got nowhere. Though the contacts were genuine I got little information and precious little help. Finally I contacted Doris and Brian and they responded back the same day. Doris and Brian asked enough questions to find out what I really wanted. They had several suggestions. One of them being a canoe trip in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. It was a home run!"
"The trip was organized and could not have been better. The outfitter did their jobs and everything was great. We were greeted by name when we arrived. The important thing from my perspective was Doris and Brian took the time to really find out what I was looking for. Fishing trips were all available from many sources. They made the effort to keep looking when the first suggestions were met with cool reception. (They were very good suggestions.) They found in my opinion the perfect solution for our needs. Because of their experience and organization they were uniquely able to offer more than one scenario. The commercial portion of the trip was handled easily and clearly. The options they suggested were the appropriate extras we would need. As much as the outfitter who implemented the plan did a great job, it was Doris and Brian that set the trip in motion. The right trip with the right arrangements and in the time frame allowed."
"Allow them to organize your next trip, they will for me."

My sons and I just returned from a trip to Texas, what a hunt. Between the three of us we took 6 hogs, 11 pheasant, 4 jackrabbits, 1 coyote and 1 aoudad sheep. We also averaged five pounds a piece in weight gain, the food was awesome.

I enjoyed my hunt in Colorado and we saw a lot of goats - just could not get close enough to them. It was my first pronghorn hunt and I learned a lot chasing them all over the ranch. I would hunt again with Patrick, but not likely thisyear, even at this incredible price.

All three years have been a blast out turkey hunting it all started with hunting the eastern turkey in Kansas, the second year hunting the Rio Grande turkey in Texas, and this year in Florida with Pat Marino. I am really looking forward to hunting the merriam turkey for my grand slam! Outdoor Connection has delivered three awesome outfitters so far! Can’t wait to see what they come up with for the merriam turkey outfitter.

This outfitter in Kansas certainly lives up to its well-deserved reputation. Last Friday, I had two Eastern toms on the ground by 9:15 A.M. - on the first morning we hunted! The largest tipped the scales at 23 pounds and had a 10-inch beard. Keaton and his wife, Karen, run a great operation. The accommodations at the lodge were very good, and Keaton leases a number of outstanding properties, most with blinds already in place ro support his Whitetail operation. Turkey populations are high. I plan on going back there for whitetail.

Wanted to drop you a line and give you the highlights of our 2010 Charleston Fishing Outing. We arrived at noon and met our guides, James and his smokin cousin from LA, April. Soon we were at James' #1 fishing spot. After landing a few decent size black and red drum we cruised the bay's feeder rivers and finally ended up under an old bridge where all heck broke loose. We spent about two hours pulling in some some very nice looking red drum. All in all we caught about 20 fish in 4 hours. Zafar, our actuary, caught the biggest but everyone was pleased with the outing. Nice work hooking us up with a great outfitter!
