I have been blessed to be a pro staff member of a televised hunting show. This has afforded me the opportunity to travel throughout North America in search of big game.  So, I have hunted with both the good and the not so good when it comes to outfitters. If you are looking for a solid operation which you can feel good about spending your hard- earned money, I highly recommend R.L. and Trophy Class Outfitters. His operation will not disappoint. When you contact him tell him his “Preacher Buddy” sent you.

My name is Bobby Worthington. I am an outdoor writer and the author of Bowhunting Trophy Whitetails – An Advanced Approach to Taking Mature Bucks. I have known R.L. Foster for years and know him to be a respected outfitter with an excellent knowledge of the game he pursues. His understanding of whitetail deer and their habits is impressive.  R.L.’s ability to share this knowledge makes him a speaker on the subject of whitetail hunting, I can personally recommend.

“Having been in the business myself, I know what it takes to run a good guiding and outfitting operation. R.L. Foster and his guides know whitetails, how to hunt them, and how to make your hunt the best it can be. R.L. is not only an experienced guide, but also one of the most knowledgeable bow hunters I have ever known. Above all, he is honest (a trait sometimes hard to find in these days of exaggerations and impossible promises) and when he describes the hunts, his successes and what Trophy Class Outfitters has to offer, you can count on it. There will be no surprises. If you want a good fair-chase hunt with a hard-working outfitter, go with this guy. I would sum up Trophy Class Outfitters in one phrase – “a no- nonsense operation”. I plan to hunt with them again.

I have hunted three times with Trophy Class and will hunt a 4th time this season. I have been lucky enough to harvest 3 great bucks and have some incredible experiences in the outdoors that I’ll never forget! I completely trust R.L. and the guys, and consider them all friends for life. 5 out 5 and would rate them higher if I could!

As a member of the Bass Pro Shop’s Field Staff, I have had the opportunity to hunt all over North America, Canada and South Africa. After practicing with your bow, I would say that choosing a reliable outfitter is the most important thing you can do to ensure a successful hunt. R.L. Foster who owns and operates Trophy Class Outfitters, is the best whitetail guide I have ever hunted with. His knowledge of whitetail deer is phenomenal. I have personally hunted his Texas ranch twice, his Alabama farm twice and his Illinois farm, where I took the largest buck of my career. Trophy Class Outfitters caters EXCLUSIVELY to the bow hunter because they are bow hunters themselves. I highly recommend R.L.’s operation to anyone who is serious about a fair-chase trophy bow hunt.

I have had the opportunity to bow hunt with R.L. Foster, and found it a pleasure to spend time with a fellow bow hunting outfitter who takes this precious game seriously, and takes the time to consider the many key details which can make a bow hunt a success. Needless to say, success is measured in different ways by different bow hunters. After spending a couple of decades as a bow hunting outfitter, I find that true success comes from a quality bow hunting approach in good company.  With R.L., I found both. I trust he will have continued success with all his outfitting endeavors.
