At Sandy River Outfitters we specialize in trophy black bear hunting.  We have all of the Canadian black bear color phases including blonde, cinnamon and chocolate. Deep in the heart of Manitoba’s lush forests you will find a hunting experience unlike any other.  Our exclusive bear hunting area is comprised of over 2000 square miles of dense bush and remote wilderness.  Our bait sites are extremely remote, accessible only by four wheel all terrain vehicles (ATV).  All of our Canada bear hunts include fishing as our lodge is located on the Winnipeg River.

At Sandy River Outfitters our goal is to offer every hunter the opportunity to kill a mature Canadian trophy whitetail deer. We hunt the Interlake Region of Manitoba.  We hunt deer on over 7000 acres of private property, but also hunt very remote areas deep in the woods where you will not see as many deer as on the private farms, but it is quality and not quantity of deer we are after. We are proud of the fact that our hunters have had an annual success rate of over 85%. Our experienced guides have guided in this area for over 25 years. Their knowledge and dedication have contributed greatly to our success. We access our hunting area by four wheel all terrain vehicles (ATV),  four wheel drive trucks and snowmobiles.

All fall black bear and whitetail deer hunters are also allowed to kill a timber wolf and a coyote as a part of their Canadian black bear or whitetail deer hunts. Black bear and whitetail deer licenses allow the hunter to kill a timber wolf and a coyote before shooting their trophy whitetail deer, or black bear. They are still allowed to kill a black bear or whitetail deer after taking one or both of these elusive animals. This opportunity is only available in Manitoba. At Sandy River Outfitters, we do not charge hunters extra for harvesting a timber wolf and coyote while fall black bear or whitetail deer hunting. Skinning of the wolf and coyote is included in the black bear and whitetail deer hunting package.

Our lodge on the banks of the Winnipeg River offers some of the best fishing in Manitoba for Walleye, Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass, Goldeye and a variety of other fish. We provide fishing boats and motors on all of our black bear hunting packages for hunting and non-hunting guests and we can assist you in getting fishing licenses and bait from one of our local vendors. Children of all ages can enjoy fishing while accompanying their parents, making this a family vacation instead of just a hunting trip.
