A friendly, bilingual hunting, fishing and army-surplus store in Gatineau, Quebec, praised for patient staff, fair prices on ammunition and gear, and an on-site gunsmith.
Coureur des Bois Gatineau is a locally owned outdoor store selling hunting, fishing and military surplus gear, along with outdoor clothing. Reviewers describe it as a small but well-stocked shop, and nearly every review is five stars.
Service is the reason people keep coming back. Staff are described as patient, honest and knowledgeable, willing to let customers try gear and to explain products properly rather than just sell. One newcomer to fishing said a staff member walked through each bait and showed how to use it. Reviewers also note the team is fully bilingual, will try to order in what isn't on the shelf, and that there is an experienced gunsmith.
It suits hunters and firearms owners most, with ammunition at competitive prices, surplus uniforms, boots and camo, plus fishing tackle, apparel and some camping items. Online orders also ship; one Montreal customer received theirs within a few days.
The few lukewarm reviews say the store is small compared with a big-box outlet, that hunting supplies can be limited in places, and that the fishing side is thinner than the hunting side. One shopper wished firearm price tags were easier to read without asking. If you need something specific, calling ahead makes sense.
