Over half of our hunters experience more than one active bear at their stands which provides additional opportunities. This gives you an added advantage because the game preserve is protected from regular hunting pressure. In addition, part of our area hunted is adjacent to the World's Largest Game Preserve. Our territory covers approximately 250 square miles of exclusive black bear territory with approximately 30 baited stands. Each of our hunters are provided with 2 - 3 active stands that haven't been utilized by any other hunter for that season, which means that you have a fresh stand from the beginning. Access to your stand can be by boat or ATV. Whether you will be hunting with gun or archery, your choice of stands will be along the shores of Windermere Lake, Kathleen Lake, Goldie Lake or at one of our remote stands.
