- John "Jack" Schwabland

Author and Associate Editor of the Safari Club International Record Book of Trophy Animals, SCI Hunting Hall of Fame, has collected more than 200 species on 5 continents.

With so many hunts out there in the world, you can’t know them all, but Bob Kern does. I have hunted and fished on 6 continents over the past 20 years through the Hunting Consortium and have enjoyed every trip. He has never sent me to a bad one. I can’t say the same for the trips that I have arranged myself. I run a large company, with little time for the details that Bob’s experienced staff handles smoothly and completely. I go about my busy schedule until it’s time to get on the airplane and then do so confident that the upcoming adventure is planned with military precision and a thorough knowledge of the game and hunting area. The more experienced I become at worldwide hunting, the more certain I am to book every hunt through Bob.

- Paul Dickson

When planning a hunting adventure on the other side of the country, or the other side of the world, and it absolutely, positively, has to be planned and executed right, you MUST choose Bob Kern and The Hunting Consortium!

No matter whether in Armenia, or Kamchatka - even in Iran, everything is ready to go and there are no surprises. I really appreciate their travel service too - they do my visas, air tickets and everything else I need for an easy trip. One stop shopping!

Wherever in the world my hunting dreams take me, I know that Corey and Bob will have everything well-organized. Their amazing knowledge and continuous research has put me in a position to take some truly extraordinary trophies, with the very best guides in the hunting world today. Nobody knows more about the game and the world of hunting than these guys and the travel team at the Hunting Consortium is unlike any I have ever used. They know from personal experience how to get someone into and out of the most remote places in the world and they keep up with the ever-changing regulations concerning hunting, firearms and travel options. This is the most “can-do” team I have ever worked with in hunting! They have risked their reputation and their very lives to blaze your trail. If you’re not booking with The Hunting Consortium, it’s most likely your loss and someone else’s gain. You sure can’t do any better - their word is good!

Bob and Margarete and their team at the Hunting Consortium are the best I’ve ever worked with! I have hunted all over the world for more than 50 years, taking more than 200 species and I never found a better or more professional hunt organizing organization than the Hunting Consortium. I especially like their attention to detail in travel planning - nothing goes unnoticed or unplanned for, and there are never any surprises as the trip unfolds. Their experience has helped my make better decisions for my travel and my hunts.

Nobody does it better!
