I have gone fishing there a few times and can vouch for them. If they told you that their moose hunting is good, then it's good. They are very kind, hard-working, honest people (husband-wife team) who recognize that you're coming out on a "mission" so to speak. For me, it's catching large fish, for you its big game hunting.

Well there you go Mike you got a positive recommendation. I say you need to book quick go on the hunt this year and then give us all a report and maybe bring us along next tyear if it looks good.

Let us know I'll be waiting.

Thanks Fishing Guy.  Nothing speaks well of outfitters more than repeat customers.  I appreciate you sharing your experience with them with us.

Hunter25 – I don’t know as I will book for THIS year, but this recommendation definitely raised them on the list of who to call when I do go.

I might go moose hunting this fall, but I have a car that needs significant repairs (like the cost of a moose hunt worth of repairs) or replacing the whole car.  So I’m not sure of the hunting budget for this fall yet.  Of course there is hope of a raise if things fall in line the way I hope that they will.  That would make a moose hunt far more likely…..  I might give up that idea this fall to go chase muleys out west though too….  I LOVE having more than one good option!

A few other notes that might be helpful...

I've been there around 5-6 times (each time 4-5 day stays) and each time the road has gotten better and better. The first time I went, the area near the actual grounds had really rough roads. As loggers got closer, they fixed up the roads (gravel) so they are much better now (although I would still suggest coming in a vehicle that's larger than a "regular" car). Coming from Montreal, it's a good 5 to 5 and a half hour drive.

For people who go fishing, they have many cabins that they rent (where you bring your own food and fish all you want on your lake) but I have only stayed at the main lodge area. I think they call it the VIP plan (where they provide meals, boats, boat gas). You can take a boat to fish in the lake right in front of the main lodge but they also provide access to many different small lakes which you can drive to (for a day or half-day trip). Some of the lakes haven't been fished in a long time which is great (it adds to my excitement of potentially catching big pike). The largest fish I've seen there are two 20+ pound pikes and a 10 pound walleye (dore).

It's very quiet and the last time I was there (2008), cell phones didn't work that deep into the wilderness so some of my "city boy" friends got a little antsy. Still, it's a great place to relax and unwind and I plan to return this summer.
