BWCA Sportsmans Trip
October 2010

Join us for a one-of-a-kind sportsman's adventure this fall. The Canoeist has teamed up with Matt Keller from Keller Outdoors to provide a unique Boundary Waters experience. Matt is a noted waterfowling guide who spends his falls hunting ducks and geese in Minnesota, and loves to share those hunting experiences with others.

The Boundary Waters Canoe Area in northern Minnesota is well known for its remote wilderness routes, traveled by canoeists in May through September. By early October, the BWCA sees little traffic and its abundant game sees little to no hunting pressure. Better yet, the BWCA is home to one of the only breeding populations of blackducks in the Midwest. This makes for a great opportunity for sportsmen and women to enjoy a true wilderness hunt in Minnesota's northwoods.

Join your guides Matt and Mike as you paddle into the wilderness, camp in a heated canvas tent, and enjoy good, hearty meals. You will have the opportunity to hunt ducks over decoys, walk the woods for ruffed and spruce grouse and wet a line for walleyes.

Included in this trip are two professional guides, meals, bait and equipment. Equipment includes a canvas tent and wood stove, canoes, paddles, pfd's, sleeping bags and pads, portage packs, decoys, and other camping and cooking gear. Does not include licenses, fishing gear, guns and ammo.
