Central BC Canadian Moose Hunt
Hunted with guide Monte Schumann- Great skills- great effort- I think he is made of Kevlar- He obviously has being guiding a long time- Comfortable tent camp- good food. I took a bull on the last day- with 25 inch brow tines- what an awesome bull. Passed on smaller bulls earlier in hunt. I'm going on a goat hunt with him in 2012. Monte, Eric Hanson, wife Kelly and his two children are all a pleasure. Looking forward to 2012 Earl Pulliam

Reviewer Comments: Spring Black bear hunt June10-14,2006. Overall this trip was excellent. Eric Hanson up front from the begenning about his hunts. He did not over or under sell the trip or accomodations. I personally observed 41 bears during the hunt and successful with an honest 7ft square boar. The food was excellent in taste and quantity. Meals were on time and hot. Lunches (sack) more than enough to keep you going all day. Camp as stated was rustic, very simple and typical of country life and comfortable. This is a newly purchased camp area and Eric is constantly (when time permits between hunts)working on improving the camp. THis is not a 5 star resort but a true hunting style camp. Along with his knowledge of the animals he hunts Eric Hanson and his wife were more than willing to share the culture of the area with all in our camp. I would recommend this outfitter to others, two out of the four in our camp have booked future hunts with McGregor River Outfitters/Eric Hanson.

Reviewer Comments: I recently returned from Black Bear hunting with this outfitter. This was by far the best black bear hunting experience I have encountered. The local hunting pressure was not an issue at all. The accommodations were comfortable and the food was excellent, not to mention the cook was a total sweetheart. I felt very welcomed and also felt that the outfitter and my guide were going above and beyond to put me in a position to be successful.

Reviewer Comments: This Outfitter has changed his operation drastically. The camp is no longer within this guides territory, so there is cosiderable travel time required to legally hunt. Camp is situated in a residential area next to some very active train tracks that will wake you anywhere from 2-4 times a night. The area holds good quality game, but is less than 2 hours from Prince George, so the resident hunting pressure is enormous. The residents are better equipped and better positioned than McGregor River outfitters. Expect to road hunt the majority of the time. There is a new "cook" in camp who is in general a pretty surly person. You, by simple being there are an inconvenience. Every problem we experienced was blamed on everyone else by the outfitter. Our guide was contracted by McGregor river, and was an outstanding individual. He was able to somewhat salvage our trip. Unfortunately, we never came to any acknowldgement of shortcomings by the outfitter, and ultimately, the formal complaint process via he GOABC has begun.

Reviewer Comments: My partner and I both took B+C Mountain Goats on the second day of the hunt. My partner also took a large blk bear. The Mountain Goat hunt was very physical but well worth the effort. Eric guides all Goat hunts himself. Diane is not only a guide but the cook and a taxidermist also. First class operation all the way.
