Agassiz Outfitters

Feeling blessed to have met Rick and Colleen Liske at a sports show in Lansing, Michigan, my husband and I decided to book a waterfowl hunt with them. After a 21 hour drive, we were welcomed with cozy accommodations in a relaxing, peaceful setting in beautiful Manitoba country. We were grateful to Colleen Liske who prepared delicious meals for us three times a day. If you go hungry, it is your own fault! A special thank you to Rick Liske who put us on the “X” as we were able to hunt a different field and/or pothole each and every day. We thought the harvest from day one was amazing but each day it seemed to get better if that was even possible. We had never seen guides work so hard to make sure their customers were satisfied. Brendan Liske and Jordan Liske are knowledgeable young men who know how to get the job done right! The hunting was out of this world-Arkansas x 10….The overall experience was a 10+. We can’t wait to go back again! Don and Jeannine Feeney Cottrellville, Michigan

Moose Hunt I cannot say Thank you enough to you both for making my recent Moose Hunt successful and memorable! Your outfitting business is second to none!! As individuals, you were the Best!! Please consider myself as a reference if needed in your future Moose operations. Take Care & Wishing you only the Best, Wally

Seems to me all you had to do with that guy last year was refund his money as he said he would be to old. Instead you went down to his level with childish petty posts online. Certainly not a good look when i was reviewing you for a future hunt.

I moose hunted with Agassiz in fall of 2019 and what a great hunt! A great family run organization with some really top notch employees. Everything from the food to the hunting was above my expectations. i definitely plan on going back and am more than happy to be a reference for anyone that wants to know more from a paying customer.

Outstanding Guide service!! I have hunted with Agassiz for waterfowl several times and they are the best in the business. They work extremely hard and take their work very seriously. The food is excellent and they go above and beyond to ensure a successful hunt. Heading back again this fall and can't wait to see the crew!

I was blessed with the opportunity to hunt with Agassiz Outfitters twice. I am 77 yrs old and have gone on at least ten hunts, with outfitters, for bear, elk, moose or antelope over the past 50 years. I’ve probably gone on twice that many ‘self hunts’. I’ve not been with an outfitter who showed the amount of sincere consideration and care for clients as did Rick and Colleen at Agassiz Outfitters. My son requires a ‘gluten free’ diet and Colleen had no problem catering to him. She’s an excellent cook and there was always plenty of food. My most recent hunt was September of 2021. There were nine of us in camp that week and everyone harvested a bear. I shoot a homemade 70 lb longbow and told Rick before I arrived that I would like a shot at 20 yards or less. He had a bait ready at about 19 yards and on the first night I shot a nice bear in the second hour of the hunt. It was the second bear that came in and provided a perfect broadside shot so I took it. Every hunter in camp harvested a bear that week. Most hunters tagged out by the second or third day. The last hunter to tag out did so on the fifth day. (He was waiting for a particular bear and he got it.) I believe the final count for the number of bear seen throughout the week by all the hunters was 58 or 59, (that’s the highest count I’d ever seen in a camp in one week) Bob Welsh Sr. - Ohio

If you are looking for a world class outfitter to take you on the bear hunting adventure of a lifetime, then look no further. I recently returned from my spring bear hunt at Agassiz Outfitters and I couldn’t be happier! As soon as I drove up, I was warmly greeted by Rick and Colleen welcoming me to bear camp. Colleen then showed me around and took me to my cabin which was right along the lake shore. The view was breathtaking. After unpacking I went to the main lodge where Colleen was busy making everyone a delicious home cooked meal. For my entire stay, she worked very hard to make sure everyone always had enough to eat and that everyone was happy with their living quarters. Meanwhile Rick, Jordan, and the rest of the guides were busy discussing which bear baits were getting hit the hardest and which ones would give us the best potential to harvest a big boar. All of the hunters the week before were able to fill their tags with some truly impressive bear. Several of them made the Manitoba record books and one was even a potential Boone and Crockett sized bear. I could barely wait to get into the woods! During the first day of our hunt, four out of the nine guys in our group managed to take some really big bruins. My brother-in-law shot a really nice 400 pounder with a big white “V” on it’s chest. One of the other hunters had five different bear come into his bait that night. The camaraderie in camp was awesome. Rick and Colleen made us all feel like we were part of the family and we had a great time laughing and joking around with one another. On our second night of hunting, Jordan put me on a stand where I saw the biggest bear of my entire life! It was a 600 pound monster which is insane for a spring bear just coming out of hibernation. After watching him circle me for about 45 minutes, I finally got a clear shot and was able to harvest him. The whole experience was an absolute adrenaline rush! The next day Rick and the other guides helped me to take some amazing pictures of my trophy and then processed my bear. They even helped me get the skull measurements and it made the Manitoba record books! I seriously could not have asked for anything more from an outfitter. Agassiz truly is top notch and I would highly recommend them to anyone. I’m really looking forward to hunting with them again soon! Gerry Jones Green Bay, WI

Agassiz Outfitters takes bear hunting very seriously and will work their tails off to find the right stand to place you in for an opportunity. If you do your part with sitting still and follow good scent control management, you will have an opportunity at a mature bear. Lodging and food are amazing. They get a ton of repeat customers. I see why now.
