“During the past 5 years the Hunting Consortium has been the most invaluable resource a hunter could ask for.I have averaged over 150 hunting days in that time and many, if not most of those days were booked through The Hunting Consortium. Their knowledge and experience is unmatched in the hunting industry. I have always been pleased with the quality of the outfitters and the professional hunter’s and guides that Hunting Consortium have booked for me. I’ve hunted in Africa over a dozen times on hunts booked by the Hunting Consortium and every time I felt like I was hunting the premier area with one of the best outfitters and knowledgeable, helpful professional hunters. In Africa I have taken 158 different animals I couldn’t have accomplished that without the Hunting Consortium. I was on a hunting trip for over 6 weeks in the South Pacific which included a family vacation with my adult children and hunted with 5 different outfitters in 6 different areas in both New Zealand and Australia - a LOGISTICAL NIGHTMARE that the Hunting Consortium handled without a hitch. I finished that trip by hunting all of the species available to hunt in these locations besides one. EXTRAORDINARY SUCCESS on a single trip. The achievement I am most proud of though is my 21 day hunt in Spain where I took every animal that is currently available to hunt. Considering that the 7 Capra species were all free-range, this was very challenging but the Hunting Consortium put me in the best areas with best outfitters.”

“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!”

“When I have a question about a car, recipe, or the latest news, I use “Google.” When I have a hunting; where, how, or what question, I call Bob or Rob Kern at the Hunting Consortium. No Guff! I’ve booked over 30 international hunts through the Hunting Consortium and fully intend to use their professional services far into the future!”

“These days it seems half the hunters out there are ‘booking agents,’ part-time to support their own hobby or, often, enamored of a certain outfitter who becomes a buddy. There’s nothing wrong with this, but it’s not the same as working with a genuine, full-time hunting consultant, not only with decades of experience but with people ‘on the ground’ in key (and sometimes difficult) destinations. With 40 years of international experience it’s absolutely true that there are places where I don’t need help–but there are also destinations where I simply wouldn’t go without seeking the best possible advice from the most experienced experts. I’ve known The Hunting Consortium’s Bob Kern for more than 30 years. He and his team are ‘the most experienced experts,’ and after all these years I continue to rely upon their advice, assistance, and arrangements for hunts in out-of-the-way places. Over the years most of my Asian hunts have been organized by The Hunting Consortium. Using background in military training, a trip organized by The Hunting Consortium always starts with a plan. Hey, plans change, especially in Third World countries. However, The Hunting Consortium preps the ground with local outfitters…and also develops the most extensive pre-hunt packages I have ever seen, preparing and informing their hunter-clients as fully as possible. Unlike many, The Hunting Consortium also has dedicated personnel in locations such as Moscow and Ulan Bator to ensure smooth formalities with firearms. When it comes to difficult hunts in challenging areas I have complete faith in The Hunting Consortium…and so should you.”

“Nobody can appreciate the effort Bob Kern and his staff at the Hunting Consortium make to satisfy their clients’ requirements better than me – they have arranged more than 100 hunts for me over the span of 40 years! Bob is the leading expert and explorer in China and Russia and has helped me travel to the most remote places in the world in the search for the rarest of the rare big game trophies. This company has made very difficult travel arrangements seem easy – they have always exceeded my expectations. Many of the finest trophies in my collection are due to the hard work of Bob and his professional team. This is the best hunting travel company in the world!”

I appreciate the clear, expert advice I get from Bob regarding the how and where to hunt for the species I want to collect, and the tireless efforts of the travel staff in putting together my complex trip itineraries. They have performed near miracles with visas, trip changes, and impossible air routings. Day and night, wherever in the world I find myself, this team is there for me with continuous follow-up assistance. These guys are the A-Team of the hunting industry today!

“I have used Bob Kern and his company, The Hunting Consortium, since 2013. During this time he has booked and organized for me many hunts for me in Europe and Asia. In Europe I’ve hunted with the Hunting Consortium in Romania, Macedonia, Croatia, and France. They’ve taken me to Asia where I’ve hunted in Tajikistan, Turkey, Azerbaijan, and even Pakistan. Every hunting trip was magnificently planned and executed! Security was always excellent and never questionable. Hunting success was extremely high along with exceptional trophy quality. I also award excellent grades for quality of vehicles, horses, equipment, camps and lodging, food, travel itineraries and visas with personal meet and greet on arrival at every destination. All of the guides were English speaking guides, and….did I mention SAFETY? In my opinion, it is worth a few bucks more to be confident that all aspects of my hunt has been methodically thought out and that I am in such good hands while traveling abroad. As I reflect back on the number of hunting trips I booked elsewhere in order to finally harvest a particular specie, (2,3,4, and even 5 times for some animals), I wish I had booked with the Hunting Consortium from the very beginning. I can without any hesitation highly recommend Bob Kern and the Hunting Consortium!”

“Fellow hunters,
I have had the pleasure of hunting with Bob Kern’s The Hunting Consortium Ltd. many times over the past 15 years. His hunts are always meticulously planned and executed and his services are second to none. They respond to questions and requests promptly and efficiently and their office staff is very professional and helpful. Perhaps most importantly, they work with excellent outfitters and facilitators the world over, seeming to find some of the best local guides and hunters available. From the time you book the hunt all paperwork (visas, invitation letters, rifle permits,importation permits, export permits, CITES permits, hotel and airline reservations, travel insurance, etc.) will be expertly procured and competently handled by THC. When you hunt with the Hunting Consortium, all I’s will be dotted and T’s crossed. Rest assured and go hunting!”

Dear Bob and The Hunting Consortium Family,

As an avid hunter for the past 35 plus years, I want to say thank you to you and your staff. After seeing your advertisements on several hunting television shows, I gave Bob a call and we hit it off right away. Since then I have booked several hunts with you guys, and killed several really nice game animals. The Outfitters were always first rate as Bob said they would be. You guys have sent me to a lot of amazingly beautiful places and have met several really nice people. I have hunted with most of the outfitters more than once, through you guys. The Hunting Consortium handles everything from booking the hunts, buying the necessary licenses and permits, to booking flights and hotel rooms.

I just want to say thanks again, and I plan on traveling the world hunting several other game species with The Hunting Consortium in the future.

“When we are ready for our next hunting trip and adventure, anywhere in the world, I only make one call, and that’s to Bob at THE HUNTING CONSORTIUM! If you have a question, he has the answer! As with all of our previous hunts, his crew will take care of every detail and logistic from start to finish. We generally book only one hunt every year or two, but we get the same attention, respect and prompt service as any of the big names of the hunting world. The Hunting Consortium makes getting there easy and trouble free, especially with their own meet and greet crews throughout the world. And since Bob deals with only the most reputable outfitters, you will have the trip of a lifetime!”

“Thanks to Bob Kern and his staff at the Hunting Consortium for arranging the last adventure for me and my lifelong friend Latham Myers to hunt Marco Polo Sheep in Kyrgyzstan. What an adventure it was with stops in Istanbul, Turkey and Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan where we were able to spend a day touring both cities separately looking. listening and learning as well as experiencing and interacting with folks from those cities. Every detail of the trip from start to finish was tended to and the accommodations were exactly what we expected on a high mountain horseback sheep hunt. Our successes were made possible by the attention to detail in getting us into a great area and having very good guides and camp support personnel. We couldn’t have done it without the staff at the Hunting Consortium and their in-country representatives. Thank you!”

“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 hunting worldwide, the more certain I am to book every hunt through the Hunting Consortium.”

“All plans and itineraries coordinated by The Hunting Consortium were right on. Sergey Tishkevich met us at Moscow and left no stone unturned for each of us. Part of the fun of going to other countries to hunt is partaking in their culture. I was able to harvest two big bears and both bears are excellent trophies. I would say everything about the hunt was EXCELLENT and I would recommend the Hunting Consortium to anyone! – A very satisfied client.”

“Bob Kern & The Hunting Consortium are synonymous with integrity. I have relied on Bob Kern for over twenty-five years to get the best recommendations on where to, and with whom, to hunt. Bob’s advice is always dependable and timely, as Bob always thoroughly investigates every safari company and outfitter he and his firm recommend. When one books a hunt through The Hunting Consortium you can be assured of a tremendous hunting experience!”

“After arranging a hugely successful black bear hunt in British Columbia, where I harvested a 7’4” black bear with a 19” skull with Rob Kern and The Hunting Consortium, I decided to use them to set up my very first African safari. Rob was instrumental in offering me options on where I should go and where I would get the best possible trophies. After choosing the animals I wanted to hunt, Rob took the time to talk to me about each location and weighed the pros and cons with me. Because of Rob’s experience and his effort in explaining everything to me, not only was my hunt very successful, but it was also completely stress free and enjoyable.

After the hunt was organized, I asked Rob to help me arrange a trip to Cape Town so that I could take my wife on our honeymoon. Rob again was extremely helpful in arranging everything for my wife and I, he spoke with her and asked what she wanted to see and do the most while we were there. After hearing about our proposed honeymoon, Margarete Kern also sat down with my wife and provided us with recommendations. Due to the diligence of both Margarete and Rob, my wife and I had a honeymoon of a lifetime. – She will never forget it!

The Hunting Consortium has earned my business for life, due to the knowledge they possess and the ability to listen to what I am looking for. Along with providing me with options and resources that I had not thought about before talking to them. I am currently planning my future trips, with my family, with The Hunting Consortium.”
