Our guides are licenced professionals who live in the areas where you will be hunting. Our goal is to provide the best hunt we can offer so that everyone goes home satisfied with our services and the high- quality hunting available in our area. ----------------------------------------------------------------- BEAR We have got a hunt for you. I am the first outfitter to have operated this area in The Pas. I have been outfitting this area since 1987. Some of our clients have returned as many as seven times in the ten years we have operated here. This return business speaks for itself. We have met a lot of hunters with bear fever. The majority of our bear hunts are in the spring. We have numerous hours of hunting videos. In the evening we like to sit around the fire and swap hunting stories. We have met many long- time friends while operating our outfitting business. We take spring and fall hunters. We run over 30 active baits. Average bear size is between 200-400 lbs. We have taken some bears well over 500 lbs. We take only 18 hunters per year. We take rifle, bow and muzzle load hunts. We have good color phase in our bear population. We use tree stands or ground blinds (your preference). We have been told we are the most reasonably priced in Manitoba ----------------------------------------------------------------- WHITETAIL We hunt Whitetail in the Duck Mountains when they are in rut in mid-November. We have only 6 permits for the Duck Mountain area which is approximately 150 miles south of The Pas. Our camp is set up on our own private land. Our land is adjacent to the Provincial Forest. Our cabin is surrounded by alfalfa fields located along the edge of the Duck Mountains. The deer come down the mountain to feed on the alfalfa fields. In the morning the cabin is surrounded by deer, a hunters paradise. We use tree stands or ground blinds, whichever you prefer. Our deer population is high and the big ones are out there. The big ones are also the smart ones, that's why they are big. We encourage grunting or rattling to increase your chance for a trophy buck. The deer feed on our land all year round. I was raised just 1 mile from where the cabin is located and have hunted here for approximately 22 years. I know the area and the deer patterns very well. In The Pas we hunt Whitetail at the end of September in their natural feeding grounds. We have only 2 permits for The Pas area. In The Pas we can do deer-bear combination hunts because the bear season is still open. All hunts are six days hunts. The hunt includes guides, lodging and transportation from camp to hunting areas. We take both rifle and bow hunters. You are allowed to have both rifle and bow in the stand with you. We take a maximum of 8 hunters. ----------------------------------------------------------------- GEAR LIST Be prepared for warm or cold weather. Proper clothing will only add to your hunt.

Had a chance at a big Cinnamon after only 5 minutes on the stand. Had him down twice but he was tough. I'll get him before its over, if not next time. If you want a bear come with Darrell's Outfitting. (continued): Finally managed to connect with a Manitoba black bear. I saw bear everyday and had a ball. I'll be back. Bill Marvin, CO- Having a great hunt. Perfect weather. Lots of bears and good fishing. Thanks. Got a good Chocolate bear. Marv George, CO - This was my 3rd time and like last time- shot a nice black on the 1st night, except this one was my first kill ever with a bow. The host & guides are excellent like always, weather was good and the fishing also. Planning to come back again with some new hunters. They will love it. Can't find a place with more bears than this place. George Ron, MN- Darrell and company came highly recommended by Gary and George. Usually I can't depend on Gary's stories but he was right this time. Shot my bear on Tuesday, now am waiting for my son Bryan to connect. Call for details and a great reference. Ron Bryan, MN- It was a cold night on May 15, when Bryan shot his first, yes very first black bear, with his marlin 35 Remington.
