A well-stocked hunting, fishing and outdoor store in the Mont-Laurier area, QC, with live bait, firearms, licences, kayaks and clothing, and staff known for friendly, knowledgeable service.
What visitors say
Le Coureur des Bois is an outdoor store serving the Mont-Laurier and Ferme-Neuve area, and many anglers treat it as a must-stop on the way to a fishing trip. Shoppers describe a big variety for the store's size: fishing lures, live bait, hunting gear, firearms, hunting licences, kayaks, and a large range of quality clothing and footwear.
Staff get consistent praise for being welcoming, patient and knowledgeable about both fishing and hunting. Hunters mention a smooth game registration. One recent customer had a kayak that didn't suit their needs, and the owner came out personally to sort it and swap it for a better fit.
Prices are seen as competitive, with good specials and kayak deals. Anglers heading to the Baskatong Reservoir appreciated being able to buy a nautical chart of it there.
A few caveats come up. Some find the fishing section or firearms selection smaller than at the big chains, and a recent buyer was refused an exchange on a pricey reel that failed within a season. One shopper was frustrated that the store closes on Sundays. Keep receipts and ask about warranty handling on higher-end gear.
