HUNTER TESTIMONIALS |

Dennis and Judy McLean, Amarillo, Texas
Our Canadian black bear hunt was a most rewarding experience when we hunted with Jeremy Hatala of D.D.W.H who is a top notch professional. It was evident that Jeremy and his staff had done pre-season scouting and put hours in prior to our arrival and continued working diligently to assure that we would have the very best hunting experience possible. Guides, Trevor and Jessie, were extremely friendly and helpful, but also were knowledgeable about the habits and what we may expect at each stand. The meals were fantastic; Gwen spoiled and treated each hunter as a friend to be pampered. We saw multiple bears each day of the hunt and we took three bears - two squared 7’6” and 7’5” with skull measurement of 20+. Jeremy’s dedication to trophy management leaves us to believe that greater trophies than these are still out there waiting. The whole experience is first class and we look forward with great anticipation to our 2010 black bear and whitetail deer hunts. We highly recommend Jeremy as there cannot be a better hunt in all of Alberta. |

I've hunted coyotes with Jeremy Hatala of Double Diamond Wilderness Hunts for a couple of years now, and will be returning again next year. Jeremy is a top
Outfitter /Guide that always gives you 100% and knows his areas well. He
offers great accommodations and a fun hunt. You're in good hands with Jeremy and D.D.W.H.! |

Hunting with Jeremy and D.D.W.H turned out to be the hunt of a lifetime for me. I've hunted for over 30 years and spent endless hours on stands looking for a great whitetail. I finally found him in Rimbey Alberta thanks to Jeremy! I've lived and hunted in Texas my entire life and the body size and antler mass of the deer here are amazing. Jeremy's "hunting cabin" is by far the best I've ever spent time in with great food and accommodations.
Jeremy works tirelessly to know where the deer are on over 100,000 acres that he has access to guide on. He has blinds, box stands and many tree stands that all seem to be in just the right spot and this makes for a perfect whitetail hunt. Jeremy will put you in a spot to kill the deer of a
lifetime and then it is up to you to bring home your deer. I certainly
believe a hunt in the farmlands of Alberta should be on every whitetail hunters bucket list. If you like hunting huge whitetails and spending time with great people then book a hunt with D.D.W.H.!

I just returned from my first guided hunt with DDWH and this experience was one of the high lights of my life! Jeremy's enthusiasm and knowledge was truly amazing, and I managed to harvest my largest buck to date! The accommodations were clean and comfortable, and the food was tastefully prepared. If you are a serious hunter and want to make sure you don't return home without hitting your mark, I strongly recommend you make your reservations with Jeremy's "Double Diamond Wilderness Hunts". You will not be disappointed!

Let's get right down to it….if you want bears in a gene
pool that produces monster bears - then bar none….Jeremy's
camp is it! Be ready for lots of quad-running and be ready
for multiple bear action. The time goes by fast when you have
5 bears on bait! Just put me in front of monster bruins and
that's what the big guy did - every afternoon hunt had nonstop
action!! Take it from me - a bowhunter/professional videographer
who has been to over 50 bear camps, with over 25 bears harvested…..i
can honestly say that i have tried the rest…..now i know
i have hunted with the best! |

In the spring of 2008 I had the
opportunity to hunt black bears in the Boreal Forest Region
of Alberta, Canada with Jeremy Hatala and Double Diamond Wilderness
Trails Outfitters. Having become friends with Jeremy through
my work in wildlife conservation, I decided it was time to
go and hunt with him. Jeremy is a good supporter of wildlife
conservation fundraising efforts so it only made sense that
I hunt with someone that believes in working for the betterment
of wildlife - plus, he has one heck of a track record for
taking big bruins! Everyone saw lots of bears with some dandy's
taken. As for myself, I took two large mature males with one
squaring 6'10" and the other 6'7". The weather was fantastic
with highs near 75 degrees Fahrenheit - perfect for bear hunting.
I look forward to returning to Jeremy's camp for more bear
adventures in the near future. |

I first teamed up with Jeremy on a BC sheep hunt in 2004.
I had the pleasure of spending a couple weeks hunting Stone
Sheep, Elk and Moose with Jeremy. Successfully I might add!
I was nothing but impressed with his knowledge of game and
dedication to making my hunt as enjoyable as possible. His
profesional approach to all aspects of the hunt made for an
exciting and memorable experience. During this time time I
learned of his own operation in Alberta and the possibility
of 2 openings in 2005. Without hesitation I told him I would
take both slots if they were offered and that led to another
successful archery deer hunt in 2005. Even with the un-usually
high temperatures that kept the big boys in their beds, Jeremy
was able to get me on 2 shooter bucks, I was able to get the
job done on a nice 140 class buck. When jeremy tells you he
personally attends to each hunt (hunter) you can be assurred
he means it. I highly recommend Double Diamond for any and
all hunts Jeremy offers. |

Have hunted with Jeremy Hatala for 5 years. I have hunted
whitetail, coyotes and sheep with Jeremy. I have always had
a great hunt. I would recommend Jeremy and his outfit to anyone.
Jeremy will work hard to get you the animal you came to get.
He makes sure you are getting what you paid for. I took a
nice drop-tine deer in 2005, and the 2004 season i took a
174 class whitetail. My wife has been very pleased with Jeremy
also and has had a great time at his place. We both have done
well and we are looking forward to our next hunt with Jeremy,
in 2007.we both have no problem with recommending anyone to
hunt with them. We have always seen plenty of deer, and have
turned down a few looking for the bigger one and did not regret
it. Also, Jeremy is not a bad cook but let's face it his wife
does better.

I have hunted with Jeremy at
Double Diamond Wilderness Trails for 4 years and had 4 years
of great hunts. Each time I have taken a nice whitetail. 2005,
I took a 165 class whitetail and a 180 class mule deer. Jeremy
is a lot of fun to hunt with, but is also very serious on
getting you your deer. I would recommend Jeremy highly too
anyone. His outfit is top notch and he will make sure that
your hunt is exceptional. Jeremy will put 100 percent into
your hunt. His number one goal is to get you your deer. The
food is great and I look forward to many more years of hunting
with Jeremy. I have also hunted black bears with Jeremy. I
killed a 6'9" black bear. I had a great hunt and had
a great time in bear camp. I saw 5 bears and killed out on
the second day of the hunt. The friends that went with me
killed out a day or so later. We still talk about it all the
time. You can't go wrong with Double Diamond Wilderness Trails
and Jeremy Hatala. |

from Pelham, NH
I've hunted with many outfitters over the last 15 years in
the US & CA. A few years back I finally found an Outfitter
who had what I was looking for, an honest fair chase hunting
experience with a high success rate on trophy animals. While
hunting with an outfitter in BC in 98' I met Jeremy who had
an outfitting business of his own. After talking with Jeremy
over the course of the hunt (he was not my guide but was always
helping other hunters & guides in camp) it was obvious
he knew his business. My father and I booked a whitetail hunt
the following year with Jeremy, and since that hunt we have
not hunted with anyone else. Every hunt has been a great experience.
I've taken black bear (1 color phase), huge whitetail &
mule deer, 2 beautiful wolves (white and classic grey) and
I am headed back this fall. But I'm ticked off, as more and
more of you find out what I know, its becoming harder to book
a hunt given the limited openings Jeremy has to maintain the
quality of his hunts. |

Jeremy is without a doubt the hardest working guide/outfitter
I have ever had the pleasure to hunt with. He knows bear hunting
and during my hunt all 4 hunters in camp had multiple opportunities
over the week to harvest a beautiful northern Alberta spring
bear from his excellent tree stand setups. The wall-tent camp
was well-equipped including hot showers and the food was plentiful
and first-rate. I would not hesitate to recommend Double Diamond
for our Alberta bear experience. In fact, I might see you
in the spring of 2007 when I will be hunting with Jeremy again.

Jonathan Roark
from Aledo, Texas
I had been looking for one outfitter to fill all my Canadian
hunting needs for several years and then by a stroke of faith
I found Jeremy at Double Diamond. I have hunted exclusively
with Jeremy for the past 5 years and I will only hunt with
Jeremy until I just can't hunt anymore. We have hunted whitetail,
mule deer, moose,bear and coyote and each hunt was outstanding.
I have seen more monster whitetails than most folks see in
a lifetime. Jeremy is extremely knowledgeable on all these
animals he understands their habits and patterns. He is a
professional in every sense of the word. His bear camp is
outstanding and the food is better than anything you will
ever get at grandma's house. Bottom line is this- if you are
tired of spending your hard earned money on outfitters who
just see you as a paycheck and don't deliever good service
or good hunting call Jeremy at Double Diamond. Once you hunt
with Jeremy you will not need to look anywhere else. |

Carl Ackerman,
Maxville, Florida
My first hunt with Jeremy came in 2002 as a result of a cancellation.
On day one, just after daylight I harvested my spectacular
155" 10 point a perfect buck, and to boot on the last
day we stumbled into a 158' mule deer buck. And yes I too
have been back every year since. I hunted hard this past season
trying to reach the almighty 170"mark. The 2006 season
was very cold with lot's of snow, as many of you may remember.
We hunted 10 days hard, In All I passed on 7 bucks between
145" and 155" 3 of which were solid 155" or
better bucks. I can't remember ever having a better hunt,
the comraderie food and company of the other hunters and to
hunt and enjoy so many great whitetails was elating. "Just
think of those 150" bucks and their horn growth this
year." See ya in camp! |
