Title: Ontario Black Bear guide recommendations
Post by: Bel007 on November 29, 2009, 01:30:00 PM
My buddy and I are trying to set up an Ontario bear hunt w traditional equipment.  We found (via internet) a few outfitters that we are looking into.  Neither of us have any other buds w/ experience or recommendations.

In particular, we are looking at;

Gateway North Outfitters
Horwood Lake Lodge
Pickerel Lake Outfitters
Caribou Falls Lodge
Pine Sunset Lodge

I would appreciate any  feedback you may have on any of the above or a nudge in another direction.

I would like to suggest a Outfitter in Maine he is a traditional bow hunter and does a great job and business. Hunters point guide service (Eldon Jandreau) (http://i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss115/earljeff/mainebearhunt2009046.jpg) here's a pic from this past Septembers hunt

Brian,

Contact Mark Buehrer at Bowhunting Safari Consultants (no cost to you) and ask about quality outfitters. I have been on many BSC recommended bowhunting trips and they all have exceeded expectations.  Mark has never let me down. Make sure he knows your a traditional bowhunter.

Many years ago when I first started to travel to bowhunt I learned the hard way the truth that you really do get what you pay for. Any questions feel free to PM me.

At $800.00 US money, you can't beat em. This was one of the best hunts I've ever been on. No more than 8 hunters in camp at once. 32 max a year. If you take 6, then the whole camp is yours. Accomidations are exceptional too.
