2011 BOOT CAMP CLASSES

 

 

FEBRUARY 12-13

 

I attended Tony’s boot camp in August of 2009 and was simply overwhelmed by the amount of information that Tony provided and turned me into a better deer hunter. In March of 2010 Tony came to my property and designed the property for maximum deer habitat. I worked all spring and summer implementing the tactics that Tony had provided.   The results have been amazing. Deer immediately began using the tactics and I began seeing more and bigger bucks on the property and the tactics makes them easier to harvest. Not only was my property improved but so was my hunting skills and my scent control. At the Boot Camp Tony will provide you all the information needed to kill big bucks on a consistent basis. Tony will provide you knowledge that you cannot receive from a magazine or video because no one else in the whitetail world can make a big buck bed where they want him to, Tony can. Because of Tony’s and Chris’s vast knowledge I attended this boot camp and again I cannot believe how much more information I was able to retain. Now all the pieces are beginning to come together. If you are a serious deer hunter you need to stop wasting your money on cameras, videos and magazines and come to Tony’s boot camp. You then and only then will truly begin to learn the truth about deer behavior. Attending Tony’s Boot camp is as important as your bow/gun - Sam - Indiana

 

The only thing bad about Tony's Boot Camp was the Monday after because I was unable to concentrate at work.  All I could think about was the great things Tony taught me. - Louis - Michigan

 

I don't know what's more impressive, the energy or the ingenuity - Glenn - Michigan

 

I learned more about whitetail behavior in a two day boot camp than I have in the last two decades reading magazines - Jared - Michigan

 

It might sound crazy, but this guy is a pure Genius.  Trust me you'll wonder how he comes up with this stuff - John - Wisconsin

 

Insight you don't hear or see elsewhere.  A common sense approach to uncommon knowledge - Tom - Wisconsin

 

The whole experience leaves you wanting more - Lee - Wisconsin

 

This is my second time I've attended Boot Camp.  I learned as much or more this time around.  Tony, Chris & Ed are amazing.  Worth every penny - Dan - Wisconsin

 

I was at 1st skeptical, but more than worth the time & $. You guys did a great job. Very well done from a-z and very professional from top to bottom!

 Randy - Michigan

 

Any serious hunter needs to attend this boot camp. I thought I knew deer & deer hunting. I have been introduced to a whole new world of hunting.

I have a whole new outlook of hunting!  Great boot camp - Jeffrey - Michigan

 

Every serious hunter needs to attend Tony's boot camp. - Todd - Michigan

 

 

 

FEBRUARY 26-27

 

Thanks for all you guys offer to the hunting world. Todays world is all about the latest gimmick and not about offering something of true value.

ULM is a unique and enlightening opportunity for the hunter of North America.....thanks for all you guys do - Doug - Michigan

 

I am a hunter that has harvested several 130" plus bucks. After this weekend I am wondering how I ever did this.

 I realize I only used 10-15% of my farm potential. Boot Camp was very professional & personable. - Jack - Indiana

 

Words do not do Tony's boot camp justice. This is an excellent experience for all hunters. Every aspect of Boot Camp exceeded my expectations. - Michael - Michigan

 

I thought it was the best the first time. Now the second time I know it is the best.  Because now I know the answers to the questions I had from the first camp

 Cary - Michigan

 

It was all very good learning situation. Highly rated week-end. - Michigan

 

Great experience, can't wait to get home and start my bedding areas. Tony and Chris are professionals.

This was the best money I have ever spent on anything related to hunting - Doug - Michigan

 

Genuine - Fred - Michigan

 

Awesome - Jim - Michigan

 

Mind-blowing. Boot Camp was the most eye opening experience about setting up a property to have & contain whitetail deer and wildlife. If someone needs any information about whitetail behavior & whitetail hunting & property management to hold whitetails, then come to boot camp. 

Thank you Tony, Chris & Lesa.  Really appreciate everything -  Michigan

 

I really enjoyed listening to Tony & Chris.  They get you excited about starting you own deer habitat and I can't wait to get started.  They are full of knowledge. I also enjoyed looking at all the trophy bucks on the walls. To be able to look at the uniqueness of each buck.  Michigan

 

I had an awsome time at Boot Camp.  I live in PA and ended up flying alone, so the cost of Boot Camp was only part of my cost for the weekend, But I will tell you it was worth every penny of what I spent, and hopefully someday will be able to go back to Boot Camp.  The whole weekend at Boot Camp my mind was like a sponge.  I was able to hold on to alot of thigs I learned, but I'm sure some things slipped through the cracks.  Tony, Chris and The Alpha Doe thanks for the awesome weekend.  For all you people that are not sure about Tony Lapratt, He is the Real Deal, and truly is gifted in knowing how whitetails and the outdoors thinks.  Thanks again for the great weekend - Pete - Pennsylvania

 

 

 

 

 

 

MARCH 5-6

 

 I have been hunting and spending time in the great outdoors for more than 40 years.  I was trained as a hunter by an old trapper and one of the great woodsmen of Northern Michigan.  Taking that into consideration, I believe I learned more about Whitetail hunting and deer habits in two days with Tony than I have in the past 40 years. - Clay - Michigan

 

Turn your whitetail wood upside down. Will learn too much info. Lots of fun. Everything I was hoping for. - Dan - Michigan

 

Tony, Chris, Lesa, & Ed are a great group of people. If you listen & ask questions you will learn all about deer & hunting - Heather - Michigan

OUTSTANDING!  I was more than satisfied with anything and everything about the week-end boot camp.  I most appreciated your concern for Connor my Son; getting him rain gear because his Dad forgot it!  Looking after all our needs, drying cloths in the dryer, getting him a heated vest, and the list goes on and on… I am very grateful and your attention to detail was not lost on me!

I have been hunting and spending time in the great outdoors for more than 40 years.  I was trained as a hunter by an old trapper and one of the great woodsmen of Northern Michigan.  Taking that into consideration, I believe I learned more about Whitetail hunting and deer habits in two days with Tony than I have in the past 40 years.

Tony LaPratt:  A gifted man passionate about his work as a Whitetail Expert!  Two speeds, Sleeping and 100 mph, full speed ahead!  Great voice projection.

Chris Pierson:  A little more refined than Tony, and equally knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his work. 

Lesa LaPratt:  The key person that makes all the trains come and go on time!  Knowledgeable, diligent, and most importantly VERY kind and personable, a GREAT PR resource.  When I first talked to Lesa on the phone I could “hear it” in her voice. 

Ed Spinozolla:  The Grandfatherly type, kind and polite, and a great resource of vast knowledge in whitetail management, specifically food plots. - Clay & Connor - Michigan

APRIL 15-16

 

When I got home I walked my property and discovered deer signs which I overlooked before.  The Boot Camp concepts are so straight forward and practical that it was an "awakening" to me that I was managing my property in ways that were negatively impacting my hunting success.   Thank you for two very productive days - Dave - Michigan

As a friend or a client you will find that the info & knowledge Tony has on whitetail habitat & management is simply phenomenal!  Tony's commitment, dedication, & creativity are qualities that put him completely ahead of all other whitetail managers/specialists.  Anyone interested in being a true whitetail trophy hunter, I would strongly recommend attending a Boot Camp and/or U.L.M day on your property - Darren - Michigan

 

Tony and his team have a gift to share. You can't argue with his results. I was blown away by the knowledge they have and share every last detail of how to get it done.  Nothing held back, every question answered. The whole experience was absolutely wonderful! I enjoyed the split between the classroom and walking the property. - Tasha - Michigan
