“Have hunted with a lot of outfitters the last few years but none as great as this. Couldn’t have asked for a better hunt, food & family setting than this. Nothing can hold you all back the future is yours. Thanks so much.”

- John Cheatham, Sand Springs OK

“This was my first outfitted hunt. I’m very glad we decided to come to BC with your team. The atmosphere was very much like home – food was great, wonderful family & a very accommodating hunting experience. We saw a lot of game & some awesome scenery. Keep up the good work while I try to sharpen my shooting skills!! Thanks for everything!”

- Steve Crosnoe , Frisco TX

“I am new to this kind of an adventure but it will be very hard to beat. The scenery, bears, food and companionship were great. The hunting was a blast.
I will return. Thanks.”

- Ed Patterson, Waxahachie TX

“As you know from our conversations I have been fortunate enough to be blessed with opportunities to hunt & fish with outdoor professionals in many countries and coast to coast in the U.S. – without question – without a doubt – this last week represents the finest outdoor experience of my life. With two world class
bears (7+ foot average – 1 black & 1 cinnamon) I am free to move on to my next quarry (August moose?) I can put that “big check mark” next to black bears on my “Things To Do List.” I just can’t believe these two beasts could ever be topped – anywhere – anytime. This week though encompassed so much more than filling two tags. From the diversity of game, bear, elk, muleys, wolves, whitetail, moose, grouse, swans, geese & more, to the family atmosphere at the fantastic lodge – this was truly a team effort. I gained 5# this week I know (thank you Cheri!) & the eldest
boys were a huge help in the field.
For the total experience –
the hunts
the game
the professionals (& new found friends) at MRO
I say thank you!“

- Brett Giles, Dripping Springs TX

Fitz and fellow hunter Mike Jahnke saw 39 bears during their six day hunt.

“I would need many months to explain my stay and hunt here. You guys are some of the most wonderful people I have ever met. From start to finish the hunting and home life is unexplainable. Truly the best and all of you are incredible. I can not believe all of the wildlife we saw. My hunt did not turn out the way I wanted but… I most definitely will be back. Thank you so much.”

- Mike Jahnke, Western Edge Outdoors

“Filming for TV is never easy but on the second day of my hunt we filmed me taking a color phased cinnamon bear with my gun at 3:30 and at 8:30 I was able to arrow a true trophy black bear at 74 yards. Between the moose, elk, whitetail, muleys, bear, wolves & wild horses I’ve never been on a hunt with so much game. The family is truly blessed and are very inspirational. The food never stopped and Cheri needs to spend some time with my wife. *wink* I have made some new friends and I can’t wait to share our next experience together. I can not thank you enough and best wishes for your new found life. You deserve it!!”

- Brian “Fitz” Fitzpatrick, Michigan WI
from Field Talk with Fitz

“We hunted 5 days and took 3 nice bears. One was a “giant.” The best part of this hunt was the friendship made with this family. I wish Tom had been here also. If you’re a new hunter coming into this camp, you’ll have a great hunt. If you are on a return trip, “I KNOW WHY.” This is truly one of the best hunts of my life. This is an incredible place. We look forward to coming back soon. Thanks to all of you.”

- Sam Haag, Pennsylvania

“Special thanks to “Josh & Pete” (Jake & Phil)”

“After four days of hunting I finally killed a awesome black bear. I should have had a great brown bear on the first day. But you know everyone misses sometime in there life. I had an awesome time, food was great and family, and I will definitely be back soon to get that big brown bear. Thanks for a wonderful experience.”

- Tyler Gates, Montana

“The hunt last spring with you was the best black bear hunt I’ve ever been on. I didn’t think it could be any better, I was wrong! Good friends are hard to find. I think of you often when I’m not here and don’t want the hunt to end when I am here. The hunting is great! (black bear 19 3/16”) but the friendship is better. Hope to see you all again soon.”

- Dale Chisholm, Pennsylvania

“Thanks for the great time. Hunting and food was great. Thanks for the nice bear. No moose but that’s hunting. Thanks again.”

- Mark Toburen, Wisconsin

"What an incredible week. The adjustments made during the week were greatly appreciated and added to the pictures & memories. What an incredible place you have. And as for Cheri’s cooking? Absolutely sensational!!! What a great time. I look forward to retirement so I can get back out here for elk!!! Again, thanks for a wonderful week. 9 bears in one day, unbelievable!!”

- Keith Cauwenbergh, Wisconsin

“What an outstanding adventure! Weather cool - rainy. Late oats - end of the week hunted the berries. Saw 10 bears in 1 day. Although the harvest was nill - opportunity was there! What a wonderful place - just like being at home and feeling like part of the family! Paul was super in the field - Cheri was magnificent in the kitchen. Food fantastic - hospitality indescribable!”

- Bob Karpinski, Wisconsin

“What a great place to spend a wonderful hunt. Great people, great meals and lots of great animals. Shot a nice black bear. Seen many more and had a great opportunity to shoot another. It was a real pleasure for me to hunt with someone from (the) home state. Keep up the good work.”

- Dave Wirsbinski, Wisconsin
