Black Moose Outposts - Red Lake, Ontario

My trip with Black Moose Outpost was the adventure of a lifetime, and honestly, getting away with friends was just what I needed! The entire experience was fantastic, starting with the hospitality—Nathan and his crew treated us like kings from the moment we arrived. The moose hunt was nothing short of epic, delivering everything you could possibly dream up in a hunt. When we weren't focused on the trophy, the fishing was phenomenal, giving us a perfect, peaceful break on the pristine, remote lakes.
What truly set the trip apart was the quality of their facilities. The NEW cabin at Critchell Lake was beautiful and truly top-notch, offering a level of comfort and warmth that felt like real luxury. This wasn't a rough camp; it was a stunning home on a lake with stunning views. Getting in and out was a breeze, too; the planes were excellent, and the smooth flights over the wilderness were part of the fun.
Simply put, Black Moose Outpost is the real deal. The combination of world-class hunting, amazing accommodations, and genuine, royal treatment (thanks again, Nathan!) makes them unbeatable. I would totally come back in a heartbeat, and seriously, you should tell your friends about it! This is a memory worth sharing.

This was 3rd trip to Black Moose and the trip again was unforgettable. Top notch first class service from right when we got there to the end. Nate and Black Moose staff are an amazing and extremely professional team that prioritizes customer service to another level. Huge thanks for everything from this year and past years! Couldn't ask for better experience. Truly a hunt of a lifetime.

Great trip to Optic Lake in June/July of 2025. Camp location was spectacular with sunset views and we had a bull moose in the river behind our camp on (at least) two occasions and we were able to take pictures of it from our dock. Fishing was good and I caught and released a 41 inch pike. The entire Black Moose staff was very accommodating. We are going back next year.

I had the most incredible experience at Black Moose Outpost! The accommodations are truly top-tier and the location was stunning with the changing fall leaves. This was an unforgettable hunting and fishing trip. I will be back!

Service and accommodations were top shelf and couldn’t ask for more! A little more help and guidance with regards to the actual hunting and fishing experience would’ve been helpful and appreciated! All in all, we enjoyed ourselves and all the accommodations and service from BMO.

Black Moose Outposts is focused on ensuring you have an outstanding experience. The staff is very professional and attentive to customer needs. The aircraft, pilots, and crews are top of the line. I’ve been on many remote outpost fishing trips and I highly recommend Black Moose.

So incredibly disappointed in the new management at Black Moose. My family and I have been coming through these facilities and these lakes at least annually for 50 years - myself since I was 13. Three generations return again and again. I have always appreciated the incredible experience and hospitality we have received. When Black Moose took over, I was worried about the changes being made but quickly appreciated that the experience was not lost and the upgrades will be worth the new pricing. This year - things were different!

When cruising across our outpost lake, we had a motor fail. Ok, no problem. It happens, right? We notified the office right away to make sure the next group wouldn’t be impacted and continued our trip. But now Black Moose is demanding we pay for the motor to be picked up and repaired - almost $2000! Why? Because a motor broke in the normal course of use? They claim fishing line became twisted around the propeller and infiltrated a gasket which destroyed the lower unit. Sounds plausible, but we didn’t do that. Then they claim all motors were inspected and in working condition so it’s our responsibility. Having a guy start a boat and move it around the dock it’s not an inspection. I have no problem paying for something if we were negligent or had an accident, but I won’t pay for their faulty or poorly maintained equipment!

We have since canceled our scheduled second trip this year and next year’s trip and will find a more reputable company, and you should too. Shame on you, Black Moose!
