About this hunt
We would like to invite you to hunt with us during the 2022 spring season. The chance of taking a trophy bear of a lifetime is a reality with us in Northern Manitoba. We are equipped to take to 36 hunters over a 5 week spring season hunting a total of 10 different camps. Each camp is only hunted one week out of the entire spring season. All of our hunts are remote fly-ins to lakes in our exclusive allocated area of 5,000 sq. miles. There is absolutely no road access to these areas. Our success is based on the shooting opportunity of our hunters to harvest a legal bear and that usually runs close to 100%. Most of the bears taken with bows make the Pope & Young record book, the average weight varies between 200-500 lbs. The maximum hunters in a fly-in camp are 6, with 3 hunters being the average. We provide all the stands, active baits, accommodations, guides, floatplane flights to outcamps, boats, motors & gas. At our lodge then the meals are included. We are flexible to your needs. Fishing is also included! Our area consistently produces all the color phase bears; blonde, cinnamon and chocolate brown. Every spring our hunters shoot bears that make 7 ft., weigh close to 500 lbs. and have skull sizes that score up to 21 inches. We have had the honor to guide great bow hunters such as: G. Fred Asbel, Larry D. Jones (4 times), Curt Wells (3 times), Dave Canfield, Dr. David Samuels and the honorable Judge Ernest Gilbert (9 times) whom have featured several articles in “Bowhunter Magazine”. We were especially excited to be able to guide; Dwight Schuh (Hunting Editor for Bowhunter Mag.) and Larry D. Jones. We also hosted the Bowhunter T.V. Series show during which Curt Wells & Larry D. Jones both shot record book bears that both made the Pope and Young all time record book. In 2014 & 2015 we hosted Jason Mitchell’s first TV episode filmed for “Passion for the Hunt”.

Where you will hunt
Territory
The Manitoba forests that we have access to are very remote and rich in game. Our animals have limited, if any, human contact, which allows them to reach mature adult sizes. Each of our lakes provide World-Class fishing for Manitoba Trophy Pike and Manitoba Trophy Walleye. In addition, Lake Trout and Arctic Grayling are available at some lakes. Our lakes are designated as “High Quality” fisheries by the province of Manitoba and are located in the heart of unspoiled wilderness north and northwest of Lynn Lake, Manitoba. These lakes are only reachable by float plane. Due to the remote location and the short fishing season, our lakes average between 24 to 40 fishermen a year. To maintain the high quality of fishing in our lakes we practice a strict total Catch and Release on Northern Pike but you can take Walleye for shore lunches and home.
