Whitetail North Interlake #1D -Availability for 2009
This outfitter
offers a unique hunting experience. All of their hunting is done in
the deep wilderness in the Interlake Region of Manitoba. Their
camps are only accessible by ATVs and even then getting into the
camp is extremely difficult. There are no farmlands, no pastures,
no agricultural activities or people, just you and the wilderness.
This is a small family ran operation and only takes 25 hunters per
year. They have 7 remote wilderness camps with each camp having a
minimum of 36 square miles of prime hunting territory. Each camp
accommodates 4 hunters and consequently there is no need to open all
of the camps every year. They normally only open half of the camps
each year and consequently there is virtually no hunting pressure on
the animals.
This outfitter is
a premium outfitter which consistently harvests trophy whitetails.
It has a proven record in that in each of the last eight years its
combined success rate for rifle, muzzle and archery has never
dropped below 72%. These are animals actually harvested and not
simply the opportunity to take an animal or wounding an animal.
Their camps are spread out across the north Interlake Region of
Manitoba approximately 110 miles north of Winnipeg. Due to the
remoteness of the hunt the outfitter provides a full American plan
operation in that the outfitter provides all accommodations, meals,
scouting and treestand location. All you need to bring are your
clothes and weapon. You should harvest a minimum of a 140 class (B
& C) animal. Last year the largest animal taken was a 184 1/8 B & C
which dressed well in excess of 250 pounds. This outfitter only
takes hunters for 3 weeks in November as they are hunting the
pre-rut and rut. The hunts are conducted from treestands or ground
blinds which are completely portable but yet comfortable. All
treestands have covers as well as heaters if necessary should the
weather become inclement. Your hunt includes pick up in Winnipeg
and it is a 7 day hunt. Half a day each way is consumed by travel
into the camp and you will therefore be provided with 6 full days of
hunting. This camp has been written up in numerous magazine
articles and has been visited by Cabala’s and Mossy Oak. The hunt
cost includes everything except the cost of the license from the
Province of Manitoba which is estimated to be $270.00 USD.
Hunts are
6-days.
Hunt cost 2009: Rifle or
Muzzle or Archery - $2975 US plus licence.
Hunt cost
2010: Rifle or Muzzle or Archery - $3075 plus
licence.
Deposit of $1500 to book, Full and final payment is payable 90 days
prior to the hunt |

Whitetail Eastern Central 1B
This camp is situated in a boreal forest setting, a whitetail
deer playground. It consists of an assigned hunting area of
5000 sq. miles and is located 120 miles northeast of Winnipeg.
It's boundaries are Lake Winnipeg to the west and the Ontario
boarder to the east, there is no access from the Ontario side - so
this area remains virtually unhunted. 95% of the allotted
area consists of government owned crown land which allows this
outfitter full access to utilize the entire area. The area is
forested, with many lakes, rivers and swamps. The hunts are
conducted from semi remote to very remote areas. The terrain can
be challenging at times and you will appreciate the knowledgeable
and skilled guides that are in place to insure that you have a
safe and successful hunt. All hunts are conducted during a 3 week
period in the fall with 6 hunters per week during late October and
early November - leading up to and during the peak of the rut.
The first week is dedicated to muzzleloader hunts only,
with second and third weeks allowing for rifle or muzzleloader
hunting. The guides employ several hunting methods from rattling
to calling. Portable tree stands and ground blinds are utilized to
provide the best options during the hunt. Heated stands are
available if required. As this is extremely remote and rugged
wilderness country, the whitetails have had no human contact and
respond very favourable to rattling, calling and other
tactics. The success of the hunt depends of a number of factors;
weather plays a significant role, hunters mental stamina, physical
condition and shooting ability is a factor. Your hunt will be
customized to suit your ability level. The deer population was
well above average last fall and we have had normal winter
conditions. The area has produced many trophy class whitetails
over the years. The accommodations and meals are first class. The
lodge is 6000 sq. ft., it has a commercial kitchen, large eating
area, pool table , sauna, hot tub, washer and dryer. The
bedrooms are located upstairs with the bathrooms located across
the hall.
Single beds 2 per room.
Note: Your whitetail tag also allows your to harvest a gray wolf
along with you deer (providing the wolf is shot prior to the deer
- as per Manitoba DNR
requirements).
Hunts are
5-day.

2008: $3000? US (2:1),
