Reviewer Comments: I have hunted with Ben four times now; three for bear and once for caribou. Without exception, I would say Ben and his staff go out of their way to insure a good time and a successful hunt for everyone. I have always had shots at decent bears up there, hunting with traditional archery tackle. (although the bear are not as large as here in NC; up there a 225 lb bear is a pretty good one). The food has always been great, the lodge clean and comfortable. Most of us who go each year with our group are traditional archers, and usually only one or two come back without bear, and even they have shot opportunities. Fishing was pretty good too, if you have time to do it.

Reviewer Comments: Ben worked hard to show everyone lots of bears. His areas are mostly in reserves where he has exclusive hunting rights and we saw very few other people in the hunting area. The first night we saw 12 bears, and my wife drifted one, by the third night of the hunt all but one of our group of five was tagged out. The last day we were there a group of 5 or 6 from a separate camp arrived for a visit....they were also all tagged out!

Reviewer Comments: This hunt was bad and kept getting worse. To begin with the stands were right on the road.Baits were not even touched in most cases.Stands were squeaking everytime the wind blowed. We had to cut shooting lanes ourselves. We were supposed to have the camp to ourselves and when we arrived there were four more guys. 2 first time bear hunters killed their first bears on nite one. The guides came in and ran to the dinner table leaving the hunters and the bears outside and never offered to take a picture. The carcasses laid outside till noon the next day. Some never got to see a bear period. 14 hunters/ 4 bears. I know hunting is hunting but the way they treated the first timers made me sick. We dragged the bears off the truck and took the pictures. The guides never took a single picture or weighed a single bear. I was lucky and killed a decent bear(pure luck). One of the first time bear hunters asked the guide to skin his bear for a three quarter mount and the guide handed him the knife and said "you do it!" This was a very poor excuse for a hunt. I don't need to waste my vacation and money being treated this way.

Ontario Hunting Information
Ontario is often considered a sportsman's paradise. This large province contains huge sections of wilderness, filled with thousands of lakes that provide excellent habitat for Canada moose and black bear. Excellent fishing for walleye, northern pike, muskie, smallmouth bass and other species can often be combined with a hunt. From spike camps to 5-star lodges, there are lodges, guides and outfitters for every adventure and every taste.
Saskatchewan Hunting Information
Saskatchewan is home to giant whitetails and skies filled with waterfowl. Saskatchewan is located in the northern part of the central flyway and harbors huge numbers of migrating ducks and geese. Canada moose and black bear are plentiful. Hundreds of outfitters are available to provide whatever kind of hunt a guy or gal needs.
Utah Hunting Information
Utah has recently been outstanding for trophy elk, but the best tags take many years to draw. Utah does have conservation tags available for purchase that allow hunters to bypass the drawing. Given the high demand for these premium tags prices can be high. In the past Utah has been a top trophy mule deer state but recently only a handful of units consistently produce B&C caliber deer.
