A Pronature hunting, fishing and outdoor store in Magog, Quebec, recently renovated under new management, known for knowledgeable gun-counter and archery staff, though service reviews are mixed.
Plein air chasse et pêche Magog is a Pronature member store selling hunting, fishing and hiking gear plus outdoor clothing. Several recent reviewers note a striking interior renovation and a change of ownership, and many say the new management has improved the place.
Most shoppers praise the staff. Named employees at the gun counter get credit for patient advice on rifles, scopes and ammunition, including cleaning and adjusting firearms, and others helped with crossbow repairs and a custom bow. Reviewers describe advice without sales pressure, a hunting department that stands out, and a range of fishing tackle at different price points. One tourist was helped to choose the right lures for the area. It is smaller than a big-box store but covers the essentials.
Hunters and bowhunters get the most out of it, along with anglers who value advice. The store also carries winter clothing, leather mittens and heated insoles.
Service opinions split, even recently. Some shoppers describe a cold welcome, staff on their phones or a dismissive owner, and archery customers mention poorly tuned bows. Others report a website-ordered shotgun sold to someone else before pickup, a special order that never arrived, incorrect advice on hunting permits, and a trip wasted during renovations when the store was listed as open. Returns have been handled as store credit rather than refunds. Confirm stock and orders by phone before going.
