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) here's a pic from this past Septembers hunt

I have had good luck with northern woods lodge

Gawganda Lake Lodge we had a great time and went 6 for 6 and had a blast. Great outfitter  

Wow Pops.  Those are some big bears at Northern Woods.  Have you been there more than once?

have you thought about farther east?

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.

Brian, I have ben there 3 times and got 3 nice bears
