It was a great trip in terms of the company but the outfitter sucked. I hunt several times a year all over the world and have used tons of outfitters, but these guys took the cake. Anyway, we were hunting black bear and fishing for walley and norther pike. Some huge fish. I will post some pics once the plane lands and I can upload the. It was Nestor Plasencia, nick Perdomo and two guys that work for a competitor but are good friends. I packed a full jar of coronas from vary us brands like man o war, tatuaje, Nicaragua libber, pepin, Ashton and nick brought tons of his patriarch brand. The whole trip was fun but by far the highlight for me was Nestor getting his bear. At first he came only to fish but changed his mind and thought he would try hunting. It was his first time shooting a gun. After lots of practice, he went out and got a nice black bear. I love seeing the expression and energy from someone who gets their first trophy. It is an amazing feeling and neat to see. One of the best parts about hunting. For those guys who may not know who Nestor is, he is the largest grower of Cuban seed tobacco in the world and runs many factories in Latin america making cigars for rocky patella, Alec Bradley, Gurkha, 5 Vegas and tons of others. It is estimated that 90% of all the cigars sold in the us contain at least one leaf from a Plasencia farm.

I will sound really stupid when I ask this, but i won't know unless I ask...since I have never been hunting (always wanted to go, just never had the chance) before.....so what is an outfitter?

Krieg, outfitters are companies that provide you with the guides, equipment (if needed) and everything else for your trip when you land. Usually a local company that you hook up with to take you out for your adventure.

Hey Alex, have you ever been to the Dog Lake Resort outside Thunder Bay? I stayed 2 months there for work and saw a couple dozen black bear and some large fish. The place seems to be run well but I can't comment about them as outfitters.
