Recommend: Yes 100% - I am booked to hunt
Reviewer Comments: Very Professonal! 70% of their hunters are repeat clients, which is a very big statement in itself. Camp was full the week I was there with 36 hunters on the first day. All did not hunt all week, but 18 bears were taken and recovered. (3-4 bears taken were in the 350-400 lbs range.) 2 or 3 more were shot and never recovered, and 3 or 4 were shot at and missed. Several hunters had multiple sightings and passed on shot opportunities with hopes for a larger bear. There was no question that the bait sites were active. If everyone that fired at game had properly placed their bullets, the success rate on animals taken would have been around 70% (which is very, very good for black bear hunting). The guides were very knowledgable, the staff was very friendly, and the food was excellent. I give this operation a "Two Thumbs Up!" and highly reccomend them to anyone. They have a web site at www.northcountrylodge.com .

Manitoba Hunting Information
Manitoba is known as a top destination for avid waterfowl hunters. Huge flocks of ducks and geese can be found from the Arctic coast of Hudson Bay to the prairie potholes on the southern border of this Canadian province. There is no legal requirement for non-resident waterfowl hunters to use a guide, but many are available and a high percentage of non-Canadian hunters utilize them. In addition black bear, Canada moose and whitetails are hunted throughout the province.
Iowa Hunting Information
Iowa is one of the best Midwestern states for monster whitetail bucks. Non-residents must apply for a tag in their annual drawing. Archery tags are the most sought after and depending on what units you apply for generally take 2-4 years to draw.
Illinois Hunting Information
Illinois is widely known as a top trophy whitetail destination. Illinois also has some great waterfowl hunting, especially in southern portions of the state.
