turkey hunt
Hunt went very well. The farms we hunted had lots of birds and I had a terrific experience. The lodge was nice and clean and the guides where very friendly and put us in the birds but could not close the deal.

Great Hunt
I had a great hunt I have been to Muddy Bottom Outfitters Early Muzzleloader, Bow, Rifle, and Late Muzzleloader this season and seen plenty of deer each time I even had a chance at a 160 plus bow season, in three days last November we had four guys hunting and seen 41 different racked bucks!!!! This deer in the photo I shot there opening day of rifle, so I have nothing bad to say I will be back year after year!!!!! As of the buck I shot it is crazy I told him before season after seeing the deer on camera thats the one I wanted and Chris tried everything to put me on him and finally it paid off.

Had a GREAT hunt with Muddy Bottom Outfitters!!!
I hunted the first part of the rut Oct 31, Nov 1st and 2nd. My bow hunt, the first day I seen 8 bucks and 2 does, my second day 3 bucks and 13 does, and the last day I seen over 20 deer and 5 bucks for sure. Then I came back rifle season and seen deer every single hunt I lost count but I know with bow and rifle season I seen 7 bucks over 125 and a ten point that went over 160 but I was bow hunting and he only got within 80 yards. Bow season I had plenty of bucks within shooting distance but I was hunting the 160 I seen and a 140 plus inch 8 pointer I had at under 25 yards of me two days in a row just couldnt make it happen he was chasing a doe hard each day. Even tho I did not kill I had great hunting and will be back next year that is for sure, however my Uncle Brian shot a good managment buck opening day of rifle while we were down hunting rifle season and I could have killed bucks every single day but I want atleast a 135 inch buck or better before I shoot, even tho I seen them just never could make it happen. I can't wait to go back next season.

Muddy Bottom Outfitters Not What they Say They Are
The website originally and the owner had a local campsite with log cabins for lodging. The day I arrived at the new address I was given I found the lodging was now at the Guide/Owner of Muddy Bottoms parents house with very rickety bunk beds and the neccesity to share the family bathroom on the floor below . I also found out that the Owner/Guide to Muddy Bottom was only 19 years of age. The description on the website specifically addresses low pressure by limiting time on individual farms, and by only hunting 4 hunters per week. I sat the first morning in the same stand a hunter had sat the night before on his and his 3 buddies last night. There was only one 25 yard shooting lane available and no visible deer sign. I saw nothing. The afternoon hunt consisted of me being shown into a hardwood stand that hadn't been scouted by the guide so that I may find a suitable tree for my climber. I saw nothing. The young owner boasted of hunting almost everyday with some of his high school buddies on supposedly outfitter customer property. The website had a strictly 130" minimum but upon arrival I was told you could shoot anything I wanted. The website alludes to many repeat customers year after year but the owner/guide said it was only his second year guiding most likely because he was still in high school. This was a waste of time. I requested half of my $1000 back and got it. I would not re-visit this outfitter nor recommend him to anyone.

Manitoba Hunting Information
Manitoba is known as a top destination for avid waterfowl hunters. Huge flocks of ducks and geese can be found from the Arctic coast of Hudson Bay to the prairie potholes on the southern border of this Canadian province. There is no legal requirement for non-resident waterfowl hunters to use a guide, but many are available and a high percentage of non-Canadian hunters utilize them. In addition black bear, Canada moose and whitetails are hunted throughout the province.
Quebec Hunting Information
Quebec is probably best know as an excellent caribou hunting destination. Hunters from across the globe travel to Quebec to hunt their big Quebec-Labrador caribou migration. In addition to caribou hunting, Quebec offers black bears, Canada moose and whitetails.
