Border Country Outfitters is family owned and operated since 1999
Border Country Outfitters is based out of Emo, Ontario, Canada. We strive to provide quality trophy whitetail deer, black bear, upland game bird hunts and fishing adventures with premier service and accommodations. Given a little luck, God’s grace and some persistence, anglers will be smiling with an experience of their dreams and a photo shoot with their trophy. Whitetail hunts are from approximately 20,000 acres of private land and about 80 different stand or blind locations, providing hunters with a vast number of opportunities for success. Bear hunts are from a land base of about 1000 square miles from four exclusive bear management areas. For upland game bird hunts, Border Country Outfitters’ privately owned and maintained trails are a “diamond in the ruff” which can provide upwards of fifty flushes per day. Fishing on Rainy Lake offers world-class opportunities for walleye, smallmouth bass, northern pike and crappie. Whether jigging shallow rock, trolling open water, or slipping into a quiet bay, this lake seems to quietly dare the angler to land something unforgettable. Fishing on Pipestone Lake provides the angler with fertile, lightly pressured waters where shallows slide into cold depths holding walleye, pike, elusive lake trout and prowling muskie. This is a lake of quiet, understated potential with the big-fish energy whereby any angler’s cast can turn into a story. Surrounded by some of the best outdoor adventures in Northwestern Ontario, Border Country Outfitters is located a few miles North of the Rainy River (natural water boundary between Ontario, Canada and Minnesota, USA) and within a hours drive of Lake of the Woods and Rainy Lake. A perfect destination for any angler for one or all four of Border Country Outfitters’ destinations.
Trophy Whitetail Deer
Border Country Outfitters spans over twenty thousand private acres between Lake Of The Woods and Rainy Lake. With abundant agriculture and big woods alike, the Rainy River valley provides excellent hunting opportunities for whitetail deer. The genetics in the area produce massive whitetails, sometimes weighing over three hundred pounds!

Border Country Outfitters is located in Northwest Ontario and offers amazing black bear hunting in fall and spring. Fall hunts are based out of our main lodge and span thousands of acres spread all across Border Country. Spring hunts are hosted out of our Pipestone Lodge and combine excellent fishing with remote bear hunts accessible only by boat.

Upland bird hunting at Border Country outfitters offers many miles of mowed trails and vast stands of ideal cover for several species of upland birds.
