Hello everybody, I was just wondering if anybody here has hunted with Squapan Mountain Outfitters for bear? My wife and I are considering a hunt there and would like some opinions from those that have hunted there before. Thanks.
I have not hunted with them, but The Black Widow boys hunt with them every year.
That was the main reason I was interested. Seems like they cater to bowhunters and was just curious to see if any guys here had some experience with them.
My cousin and I went on the Black Widow hunt last year. Tony and his crew are first class.
Great family and they work their butts off for you. Sad I could not make it this year. Will be there next year !
Sean B has hunted with them. He might chime in after his current hunting trip.
Tony donates an archery bear hunt every year to our live auction at the United Bowhunters of Missouri Festival. We have several members who have used him many times and they all say he runs a top-notch outfit.

if Its ok if I jump in with a question does anyone knowif they do spot and stalk there or just hunting over bait,,, looking for a spot and stalk guide in ME and very hard to find.
It's all baited sights as far as I know. I don't know anyone who does spot and stalk in the east.
Thanks for all the replies. Sounds like a great place to go.
I've been there a couple times. Tony and Lynn and there family are top notch on all accounts. Would highly reccomend it!!

Top notch!!!! Tony and his wife Lynn are top notch. Caters to traditional guys, he shoots a recurve himself.

they mention Spot and Stalk season starts in August and I wrote them so hoping they do get back,,, this is something I need to try once!
if anyone has done this in the north east please let me know...
JakeD thanks for letting me jump in and hope you have a great hunt in ME.
I've hunted with Tony a bunch of times. Tony and Lynn run a great operation and now Tony's son Josh has his guides license. I can't say enough about them. He has comfortable lodging, great food and top notch guides. I've had an opertunaty to kill a bear each time I've huntd with him. I took this P&Y bear in 2012. It weighed just under 400 lbs.

Here's a pic of the inside of the lodge. There's a separate bunk house.

Top notch operation. Great people they do everything possible to make your trip a pleasure and to get you your bear. I have not seen their new cabins but hear they are superb.
they got back to me on the spot and stalk and said its way too thick there to spot anything,,, just bucket list thing for me but still looks like a cool place to spend a week.
