HISTORY

​Bowhunting Safari Consultants was founded in 1986 by Neil Summers, who created a booking agency that organizes bowhunting excursions worldwide.   The company puts clients together with the appropriate guide/outfitter and arranges the details for their hunting adventures. In 1996, Neil brought Mark Buehrer on board to consult in North America. Mark developed the North America portion of the business, while Neil focused on the International outfitters and clients.  
 
In 2005, Mark and Neil welcomed Jay Osting to the consulting team. Mark and Jay worked together developing more options for our North America traveling hunters.  Mark retired in May 2022 and Jay has continued to lead and develop the North America options for our clients.  Jay's wife, Cindy coordinates the application services for our clients.  In January 2024, Neil retired and Adam Cramer joined the team to consult all our international traveling hunters. 
 
Together, Jay and Adam will carry out the mission of BSC by continuing to place our clients and outfitters together to accomplish bowhunting goals.

WHY USE BOWHUNTING SAFARI CONSULTANTS?

Bowhunting Safari Consultants is a booking agency that organizes bowhunting excursions worldwide. Our company links clients with guides/outfitters and arranges the details for their archery adventures. We are continuously looking for operators who emphasize shot opportunities at trophy class animals and can offer a bowhunter the type of special services he or she requires.

Choosing a guide or outfitter can be a daunting task.  Operator references and/or the experiences of an individual friend are not enough to ensure that your hard-earned time off and money are spent wisely. We are able to track the performance of outfitters and guides over a period of time with many different clients. BSC represents only outfitters and guides who offer superior hunting experiences at good value and with whom we can confidently place our clients. The outfitters we have chosen to represent pay for our services. You, the client, pay no additional fee for our services: you pay only the outfitters published retail hunt price.


Our team of consultants and advisors are the most widely traveled group of dedicated bowhunters ever assembled. We are confident that we can provide honest and reliable recommendations to our bowhunting clients. We want all of our clients who book through us to understand that buying a bowhunt is NOT buying an animal and the weather and other environmental factors at the time of your hunt may seriously affect the outcome.


If you will be unhappy if you do not take a trophy animal, you should consider booking your hunt elsewhere. However, if you are a serious, hard hunting bowhunter who understands the realities of bowhunting wild animals in wild places, you have come to the right place. Many of the hunts we offer are tough and in remote wilderness settings. Conditions in many camps, although more than adequate, may not have all the comforts of home. Let us know what your expectations are, and we will let you know if we have the right bowhunt for you.
​

HOW TO USE BOWHUNTING SAFARI CONSULTANTS

  1. Discuss the hunts with the appropriate consultant depending on species and/or location.
  2. Discuss your expectations in terms of shot opportunity, actual hunting conditions and methods.
  3. BSC will provide qualified references for the hunt you are considering.
  4. BSC will get back to you with open dates from which to choose.
  5. Send the required deposit to BSC. (We are bound by a deposit first-come, first-served policy.)
  6. BSC will handle your hunt confirmation, help with travel arrangements, equipment needs, and provide overall support
Note: All prices are subject to change: outfitters update their prices at various times during the year; some states, Canadian provinces and other countries around the world change licenses and permits from time to time with little notice. This catalog provides most of the outfitters we represent; however, we do have additional outfitters that we recommend.

COMMUNICATION

We continue to work with our outfitters to ensure our clients are getting the best guides possible; it is imperative that you communicate what you want, with your guide. You need to take responsibility for your hunt and discuss anything and everything about how the hunt is being conducted. If you have a problem, DON’T WAIT to communicate your concerns, WITH YOUR GUIDE AND / OR OUTFITTER so they can be addressed as soon as they come up. Complaining after the hunt does little good, when you could have addressed it in the field and saved the hunt.
