Those are the samevideos that Skeeter mentioned.

I own several of them and overall i'd agree with Skeeter. There are lots of big deer in his videos (especially mulies) but the video quality, narrative and production values areamateur at best. That said, I do enjoy seeing video and hunts shot in the same area that I grew up hunting. One warning i'd pass onabout the earlier videos in the series is that they tend to do a lot of drives and pushes. Without passing judgement on anybody's chosen method of hunting I found that the number of 2+ shot kills shown in the early videos was a little unsettling. Also, there are several scenes where you know d*mn well the deer was wounded and never recovered. It seems that as the series has progressed and they have discovered how to use funnels and baiting to get better footageof undisturbed deer.

Lloyd M was the guy that got busted or printing tags for his hunters then cancelling them and printing them again. This basically gave the hunters the chance to shoot multiple deer with tags that appeared valid. It was a routine check stop that finally busted him. I can't believe that he and his family arestill allowed to operate an outfit.

Thornberry was one of thepioneers of outfitting in Alberta. I don't think he was ever caught for anything. I have heard (heresay) from friends in the Provost area (part of the old golden triangle that Thornberry "discovered") that he was not well liked by land owners and essentially burned his bridges in many areas whichmay bewhy he returned to the states.
