Manitoba Bear Hunts

Darryl and Dillon run an excellent bear camp. There dedication and hard work shows in the quality and quantity of bears. After being at numerous other camps I saw and killed my biggest bear. The bait site and stand locations were ideal. The lodging and meals were first class. Anything you needed Darryl made sure you had it. DOA outfitters is a first class operation and I will be back.

I have hunted this area for many years with KC's Outfitting. This was my first year hunting with DOA after they took over the area. I was not disappointed. The DOA team works their backsides off to provide their hunters every legal and ethical advantage to tag a big mature boar. Darryl is constantly tweaking and adjusting his bait sites to optimize the hunters experience. The base camp and hunters lodge is clean, spacious, functional and very relaxing. Meals are home cooked and tasty. I have been fortunate to hunt across North America and can quickly sense if the outfitters are putting the time, effort and money into their operation to maintain the level of the overall experience for their hunters. DOA checks all of the boxes.

I have duck and goose hunted with Darryl Kantimer in Eastern Saskatchewan for around 20 years, and I cannot imagine a more pleasant and exciting experience for a novice or a seasoned shotgunner. The setting is wonderful, the air is cool and clean, the goose and duck population is abundant and Darryl makes everything so easy and pleasurable — I’ve never been with a guide or outfitter who works harder or does more to assure a wonderful and productive experience — don’t miss this experience!

22 years ago, I met Darryl while he was employed by as a guide and we had a great week of hunting (wildfowl) and it seemed to me that Darryl was doing all the work and his boss was getting most of the money. I talked to Darryl about going into the guiding business as he was very good at what he did. Being a wild fowler on Lake Erie near Sandusky Ohio, a good day was 4 ducks and with any kind of luck, a bonus goose. When Darryl called me back and said he would give outfitting a shot, I was very happy. So we started 22 years of wildfowl hunting and both became better and better at hunting the birds. There is many things to learn to get good at wild fowling such as (wind, sun, moon, permission to hunt, accommodations, time to get set up, camouflage, directions to the field), and I was always amazed how he found the field opening on the darkest of mornings. I think he can see in the dark? Our biggest year was 603 birds and the poorest was 248 birds, and that was a far cry better than the Lake Erie Marshes. The area he hunts in sometimes holds more than a million birds. By the way, I'm going back for my 23rd year. Darryl is an expert guide and a good person, you will have fun!!!
