"Whether you're after big bucks or big bears, Canadian Trophy Quest and outfitter Rob Nye delivers. I've had the good fortune to hunt with Rob Nye for 20 years now and can attest to the quality and professionalism you'll find at Canadian Trophy Quest."
Tom Nelson
Host of "American Archer" TV show
"Rob Nye is one of those rare outfitters that has phenomenal trophy whitetails and blak bears, great accommodations and food, and is just plain fun to be around. I rarely hunt the same outfit every year, but CTQ is the exception. My success rate has been outstanding with 100% shots on PY animals and 70% of the bucks making the book including a monster 187" dark horned 7-year-old. You can't go wrong with CTQ!"

"My wife and I have hunted Saskatchewan 4 times - the last 2 with Canadian Trophy Quest…and we are already booked to hunt with them again this coming year. Repeat clients are happy clients so it goes without saying that we have been very happy with all that CTQ has to offer. Rob Nye is an outstanding traditional archer and bow hunter himself so he knows what it takes to put clients in position to be successful. He doesn’t mind moving you when conditions or wind direction dictate that it may be necessary. He moved me to another stand last year which proved to be a wise move as I was able to arrow a great buck that afternoon in the new stand. Guides, Richard, Dan and (last year, Kent) have all proven to be quite accomplished guides as well. They all have a good sense of humor and are a pleasure to be around. Marilyn is a wonderful cook, and we learned last year that she is also a darned good tracker. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention how nice it has been to have Donnie and Connie in the stateside office helping us with everything that goes along with preparation for the hunt. All of them are more than willing to go the extra mile to ensure we all have a great Canadian hunting experience. My wife has taken her 2 personal best muzzle loader bucks and I have taken my 2 personal best archery bucks the past 2 years. Does it get any better? We will definitely be back to find out."

When you are at Canadian Trophy Quest Lodge with Rob Nye you are in hunting heaven. I have hunted with Rob for some 20 years, and 15 of those at Canadian Trophy Quest. Have I ever been disappointed? Oh yes, with ME not with them. You know, the miss.
Whoever is your guide at Canadian Trophy Quest, Rob Nye is looking out for you. If you have a question or request, ask and they will try to accomodate you. I am a diehard bow hunter who has hunted a lot of places over the last 65 years. I have taken many P & Y deer and bear at Canadian Trophy Quest. I am now 85 years young. Canadian Trophy Quest and Robe Nye are the Gold Standard of hunting in my book.
Dave Butler - New Jersey
I have had the thrill of hunting with Rob Nye for spring bears during the 2017 and 2018 seasons. I killed a beautiful tan boar in 2017 and a gorgeous cinnamon boar in 2018. I saw numerous bears during both hunts and so did my hunting buddies. The food was great and the accommodations are first-class. I would recommend Rob and his staff to anybody, and will guarantee that you will have a safe, enjoyable hunt. I enjoy hunting with Rob so much that I again booked a hunt for the spring of 2019. Hope to see you all there.
If anyone wants to hear more, feel free to call me anytime.

I have had the privilege of hunting with Rob Nye for the past 15 years. Rob is the real deal He doesn’t cut corners and he doesn’t make excuses. He and his crew go all out to give clients a fantastic experience. In the last Four years they have done numerous renovations to the lodge. And they are constantly upgrading the equipment. New Argos, new quads, whatever is needed to make things run smoothly. All of this adds up to show you that this is an operation that is in it for the long haul. They are investing in there future because they plan on being around for a long time. Oh yeah and they have big deer as well . I have never hunted a place that has more deer. This is one hunt that I plan on doing until I can’t.

"I have hunted with Canadian Trophy Quest many times. Everything about the camp is top notch, from the knowledge of the land and animals of Rob Nye, to the fantastic food served by his wife Rose. I've taken friends along with me over the years, and have made many new ones at camp. My dad does not hunt, but I took him along one year becasue I knew that the camp life, and time spent together would make for some wonderful memories! Dad thoroughly enjoyed himself, and was impressed with the camp and the many trophies taken. My once-in-a-lifetime hunt turned out to be an experience like no other, and has turned into a place I loved enough to return again and again. I feel lucky to have met Rob, Rose & Stacy and have left with not only great memories, but a lifelong friendship! I couldn't recommend them and their camp with any higher regard.

"I've been hunting with Canadian Trophy Quest for over ten years. They consistently deliver a top shelf, fair chase deer hunt every time I've hunted there. I've shot several P&Y bucks wiht CTQ including a 187" giant! It's one of only a few outfits that I hunt regularly and it's been fantastic each time. Rob and crew really work hard to put you on a big Saskatchewan bruiser and the food and loging is fantastic. I highly recommend CTQ!

"I have had great experiences with Rob and everyone at CTQ. The country around Carrot River is beautiful and the hunt is something I look forward to every fall."
Dan Stiver
"I have had the privilege of hunting two years with Canadian Trophy Quest. I have harvested whitetail deer on both hunts. I was lucky enough to harvest a double drop tine ten point last year and a great 140" whitetail in 2009. The food accommodations are five star, no questions asked. All I can say is be prepared to gain weight over the week.
If you are looking for a great hunt with first class hard workers and respectful, honest people give Pat or Rob a call."

"Excellent hunt. All of your staff went above and beyond to make our stay a time to remember. I saw a lot of bucks, the setup was perfect and your guides were true professionals. I plan to highly recommend your hunt to my friends and hope to join you again next year."
Dean Shembarger - Michigan
"Guides were awesome- cook & food was awesome, lodge was awesome. I've hunted with a number of different outfitters in Saskatchewan and can now say I've found the outfitter and area I want to annually repeat with each year. Everything was top-notch."

"To My Friends at Canadian Trophy Quest,
I had the time of my life on my visit to your operation. My experience was all I
ever dreamed of and more. The lodge was amazing, the guides were fun and knowledgeable, and the overall atmosphere was 1st class. More importantly I was able
to bring my 80 year old grandpa to Canada for the time of his life. I cannot
tell you what this means to me. To be able to give back to someone that has done so
much for me was an experience that I will never forget. I was able to sit on the
stand with my grandpa when he took his buck, and he was able to be with me when I took
mine. I will always have those memories thanks to your hard work and knowledgeable
staff. You have made a dream come true. My only complaint is that the cooking was
too good! I think I left Canada a little heavier than when I came. Thank you again
for what you have done for my grandpa and I'm looking forward to next season!"

"I killed my first buck in 1964 in Southwest Arkansas in an old traditional southern deer camp. I was just a kid, but I was hooked on deer hunting. Little did I ever dream of hunting the largest whitetail in the world in Saskatchewan. Canadian Trophy Quest has made that dream come true! I've never seen so many deer and so many big-bodied bucks! If you are looking for the whitetail hunt of a lifetime this is the place!"

"Many hunts are just hype. This one is not! Everything is exactly as advertised. Big bucks and large groups of deer and other wildlife are everywhere. The camp is fantastic and the best food you'll ever have is homemade by Rose. I took a great 10 pointer, (12 points in Texas counting eye guards and stickers) on day two and then had a great time around the camp with the other hunters and the outfitter guides. I plan on being back and bringing some friends. Canadian Trophy Quest is awesome!"

"Canadian Trophy Quest is a 4-star outfitter in my opinion. Expertise, accommodations, and opportunities to hunt different set ups are all first class. The lodge staff are all friendly and helpful and the guides know the areas they hunt extremely well. If you are planning a trip to hunt whitetails in Saskatchewan let me recommend Canadian Trophy Quest."
D. Mortimer - Franklin, Tennessee
"November 7, 2009
Canadian Trophy Quest Outfitters would get a gold medal if there were a category in the Olympics for Outfitting. Donnie, Rob, and the guides run a first-class lodge and hunt, and I will be back with as many friends as I can bring. It's worth the trip just to eat the cooking of Rose and Beverly! Two thumbs up to Canadian Trophy Quest!"

"I just spent a spectacular week with the incredible staff of CTQ Outfitters. Our group enjoyed first class accommodations, great meals, and most of all an incredible hunting of the great North American whitetail. Anyone desiring to pursue this awesome trophy should give CTQ serious consideration as their outfitter. Thanks a million for an adventure of a lifetime. See you next year."
Thom M. Spigner - Clarksville, Tennessee
"What a great bunch of people! They made me feel at home, fed me until I was stuffed with great food, and put me onto a nice buck which I took with my bow. I will be back to Canadian Trophy Quest to try for one of their monster bucks once again!"
"Thanks for everything!"

"Hunting with Canadian Trophy Quest Ltd, I can always count on a good experience. Rob Nye and his crew always go out of their way to make me feel like a friend, not a client, and Rose Nye always fattens me up with her superb cooking. The trophy potential is very high on all of Trophy Quest's lands. Above all I like the wholesome atmosphere around camp without a lot of foul language and course jokes. I don't need that, and I always feel at home in Trophy Quest camps."
Dwight Schuh, Editor - Bowhunter Magazine
"This is my third whitetail hunt in Canada. This is the best outfitter I have been with. The lodge is first class, great cooks and guides. They do everything to accommodate you. Plenty of deer. I killed a 10 point. Three out of four of us killed. The fourth hunter was very selective. I recommend this outfitter to anyone. The head guide is very deer savvy. They do everything they can to put you on a big one. You will love Rose's cooking."
John F. Earles - Bunkie, Louisiana
"This was my first trip to Canada. The lodge was very clean and the cooks were very nice and the food was good. I killed a 9 point and the body was very big. As for the guides they were very accurate. I would strongly recommend Canadian Trophy Quest to anyone who would hunt in Canada.
I would like to thank Mr. Pat and the guides for all the help and fun I had."
Duayne Brignac - Bunkie, Louisiana
"This is my first trip to Canada. I had a wonderful time, saw plenty of deer. I had the opportunity to kill a buck almost every day. Really enjoyed the meals and hospitality. The guides really took care of our every need. I would recommend this place to anyone. I plan on coming again."
Chet Sylvester - Burkie, Louisiana
"I enjoyed the hunting very much. The weather was not cold for movement but saw lots of deer. I hunted for 6 days and enjoyed it. The deer movement was good for the weather. The lodge and the food was very good and guides did a very good jog. I would return if I had a chance. People are nice and helpful."
Ricky Stagg
"Canadian Trophy Quest was recommended to us by an outfitter in Ohio. It turned out to be everything we were told. All the accommodations were great. Rose is an excellent cook. Rob and Nathan are very knowledgeable about the area and deer patterns. We were both bagged out 3 days into the hunt. If you want to hunt Saskatchewan, Canadian Trophy Quest is the place."

"Canadian Trophy Quest is my first big hunt which my lovely wife gave me. The food is out of this world. Rose is the best! I want to move in but I would weigh three hundred pounds in no time. The people at the lodge are first rate. I hope to come back next year. The accommodations are first class with me. I couldn't ask for a better trip."

"My week at Canadian Trophy Quest is always a special time with special friends. I always look forward to this hunt. This is my 6th year and I think this was the most fun week I have ever had hunting. I enjoyed my blind in the bush, Diesel and Nathan took good care of me. Rob, Bev, Rose, Pat and little Stacy are wonderful people and a joy to be around. This is a wonderful trip for me to slow down and enjoy friends and nature. The food is great, there is lots of laughing and a great group of hunting friends. The camp is a fist class operation and Donnie is great. I love Donnie's, Pat's and Rob's attitude to always look for improvement and their work ethic! I will come every year as long as my health allows me. Thanks for the wonderful times and memories."

"If you are looking for a first class canadian trophy hunt-CANADIAN TROPHY QUEST has it all. Pat and Donnie run a 10 star operation. With Rob Nye at the helm you can't go wrong. Rob's knowledge and work ethic as a professional guide is always at 110 percent. Rob's wife Rose and Rose's friend Bev cook some of the best home cooked meals on this planet.........When Rob's daughter Stacey announces supper's ready, you know you are in for a heck of a feast. Rob's staff of guides, Murry, Miller, Nathan and Diesel are second to none. The lodge and accommodations are first class. I have hunted with CANADIAN TROPHY QUEST for two years in a row, 2008 and 2009 and each and every minute of the hunt meet every one of my expectations. During the 2009 hunt I was fortunate enough to harvest a 8-1/2 year old 156 inch boone and crockett 325 pound monster 10 point whitetail. Thanks again Pat, Donnie, Rob, Rose, Stacey,Bev,Murry,Miller,Nathan and Diesel for two incredible hunts. I hope to see you all again in the years to come."

"I had long dreamed of going on a whitetail hunting trip to Saskatchewan. A friend of mine had hunted with Canadian Trophy Quest before and had talked me into going. Early in the fall he had to cancel the trip and I wasn't going to go without a someone I knew that I could share the experience with. Then I received a call from a representative of the outfitter. He assured me that the staff was so nice and the fellow hunters (who are carefully selected) would be of such quality, that I would feel at home and among friends. I took a chance and put down my deposit. Pat Campbell held my hand through the application process and Big Dave Butler got me through the airports, customs and the drive to camp. There I met Rob the lead outfitter, his wife Rose, daughter Stacy, Bev, and the guides. The lodge was beautiful and immaculate. The staff were salt of the earth people, determined to make sure we all had a good time. The food was outstanding and the guides knew their stuff. There were 8 other hunters in camp and all were true gentleman. I shared many laughs, met interesting people from all walks of life and made friends that I am sure I will meet again someday. I was able to kill a nice 130 buck with a bunch character. Two 150 class deer were killed that week. Six of nine hunters took nice bucks and the other 3 elected to let some 140 and 150s walk. I would recommend Canadian Trophy Quest to anyone, you won't be disappointed! I plan to return as soon as I take my wife on a nice vacation to the beach or to Ireland. Thanks for a wonderful experience."
