Whitetail Hunting Success Stories

“No place can match the North Woods for classic whitetail hunting – and you’ll look hard to find lovelier country than Ontario’s southern fringe. When I return, it will be with Border Country Outfitters. They’re down-home people, great hosts, and serious about helping you find big deer.”

Jeff Champagne

“The biggest buck of my life! Thanks for everything! I had a great time!”

Tom Koranda

“As a resident of Northwestern Ontario, I spend a lot of time hunting this regions legendary whitetail deer. We grow big bucks in Canada, but the land north of Emo, where the Canadian Shield meets the Rainy River Valley, is simply the best I’ve ever seen for truly consistent, monster bucks. These bucks have massive bodies and amazing, Booner-quality racks. Border Country Outfitters sits right in the middle of this regions prime deer hunting land, and forests are managed to grow monster bucks. The folks at Border Country treat you like family and provide a Canadian buck hunt that is both challenging and exciting. If hunting trophy Canadian whitetail bucks is your passion, Border Country is the place to be.”

Black Bear Hunting Success Stories

Border Country Outfitters Bear Hunt: August 15-20, 2006

I enjoyed my first bear ever with Border Country Outfitters in August of 2006. It was a huge success – my husband and I very easily filled both tags. One bear was a chocolate and one was a very nice black bear. All 11 hunters has opportunities for various shots. I have hunted for many years, but experience is not a prerequisite with this group.

In fact, as a mother, I would highly recommend this hunting experience to introduce your son or daughter to hunting, or for any first time hunter. You will see game, and it’s afternoon hunting (no rolling out of bed before dawn).

BCO and their wonderful staff make sure you are safe both into and out of your hunting spots, and ensured that any bear you harvested were quickly and properly handled from start to finish.

As a female hunter, I was completely at ease in the traditional “hunting camp” atmosphere, and the beautiful and comfortable accommodations easily allowed for my “female” presence there with the other guests. BCO’s elevated double tree stands permitted us to experience the hunt together as a husband and wife team – a nice touch — which would also enable you to accompany a youth hunter or for a BCO guide to accompany you. All-in-all, BCO is definitely a “10 out of 10” for a great hunting experience. We are so glad we made Border Country Outfitters our choice!
