[talver]

Have booked a trip with testa river outfitters for this fall. I was wondering if anyone has done this hunt before. Any info would be great have read some reviews from refference already. But would like to get some more info. Thanks guys.

Are you referring to "Testa Outfitters" or "Tetsa Outfitters"?
Tetsa Outfitters, located east of Laird Hotsprings, was a good, wellknown outfit. The owner running it for many years died 2 winters ago, but his son has it now, I understand, and is a chip off the old block. They have mantained a booth at the Tradex during the Sportsman event the last few years.

Are you referring to 'Cliff Andrews' ??...he sold his outfit maybe 14 yrs ago wich is situated between the west Tetsa River bridge and goes through towards Ft Nelson north of the highway.
sadly Cliff did pass on . They have been acting as packers not outfitterson both the north and south of the highway in roughly the same area....if this is the area mentioned , yes good moose/elk and I'd apply for a grizz tag!

Friends of mine went in with him in the 80's but I believe he hunted a different area then. They took 2 book rams and 2 nice elk. Said it was top knotch and we are talking about going in there in a few years. Good luck, look forward to your pics

Sounds really cool-please post up a trip report and some pics when you return!

Yes, I was referring to "Cliff Andrews", and you're correct, he was working as a packer when I met him and his wonderful wife in 2001. I stopped in on my way through by bicycle in june, before his cabins etc. were open for the season. They went out of their way to hook up a shower, fire up a cabin, and feed me a huge moose steak dinner as well as a great breakfast and packed lunch. I spent several hours with them in their new lodge listening to his great stories....both very nice people. When I got home, I did some research and found that they were top notch, and very experienced.

Extremely friendly people for sure! Just don't try and tell him any jokes, he's heard every one.....;)

Seems like he really knows his horse packing, great stock meant for the country they work in......you won't be dissapointed. Post a story and pics!
