A bear-hunting outfitter near Kapuskasing, Ontario, now under new management, with recent hunters reporting active baits and quick success after some poor reviews under a previous guide.
Kapriver Retrievers & Outfitters offers guided bear hunting in the Kapuskasing area of northern Ontario. Its overall rating is middling, but the reviews tell two different stories depending on when people went.
Recent hunters are very positive. Several describe well-placed baits with multiple bears visiting, trail camera photos showing activity, and bears taken early in the hunt. They credit the new owner for being responsive, knowledgeable and willing to hear feedback, and one said the accommodations were comfortable and dry. One father and son also had a fishing trip arranged during their stay.
The outfit suits hunters wanting a spring bear hunt over bait, including first-timers, and one visitor mentioned plans to come back for wolf as well.
Older reviews are harsh. One hunter described an unprepared guide, poorly placed stands close to roads with little bait and no cameras, and little help with bird hunting. A recent reviewer said the incoming owner is aware of past problems and plans changes. Ask directly about current guides, bait sites and accommodation before booking.
