Reasons To Go Black Bear Hunting

Black Bear Hunting Bear hunting is one of the most exhilarating experiences a hunter can engage in, especially black bear hunting. Why? Well, each hunter has his or her own reasons for seeking the game they do, but it’s safe to say hunting for black bears is an adrenaline rush unlike any other.

In addition to the unrivaled adrenaline rush, there are many other reasons to consider taking a black bear hunting trip. Let’s take a look at a few of those reasons below:

  1. Black bear population is thriving in North America right now; therefore, your odds of a successful hunting trip are increased.
  1. You can hunt in both the fall and spring. For example, Burntwood Lake Lodge offers guided bear hunts from late August to early October in the fall, and from late May to late June in the spring.
  1. It is more affordable than you think. Most outfitters run great rates and specials for black bear hunting. Outfitters love taking you hunting just as much as you love to hunt, so chances are you’ll find a deal within your budget.
  1. Black bears give you the type of challenge you may be looking for. Black bear hunting requires a lot of scouting and trying of different techniques like baiting strategies and so forth. If you are looking to challenge yourself as a hunter, going after a black bear is a great choice.

The Benefits of Fishing With a Professional Guide

Fishing With a Guide Whether you’re a seasoned fisherman, or out to visit the lake for the weekend, a professional fishing guide is always a good thing to bring along on your fishing trip!

Fishing is a wonderful pastime, but for a lot of people, even those who have fished often before, all of the equipment you need to bring with you can be intimidating. Plus, you’ll need different kinds of rods, reels and bait depending on what you’re fishing for. A seasoned, professional fishing guide will come prepared, and help you make sure that you have everything you need for a successful day on the water.

Another benefit you’ll have with the aid of a professional guide is that little bit of insider information. The professional guides that work with us here at the Burntwood Lake Lodge know our lake like the back of their hands. They have all the insider knowledge that can make the difference between a slow day out on the water, and an extremely successful fishing trip. A guide will be able to take you to locations that have been successful for them in the past based on the geography of the lake’s floor, and they’ll know when the best time of day is to catch fish in certain areas.

A guide can also help you master certain techniques that you’ll need to learn when you’re fishing, whether it’s a wrist flick or a special way to bait the hook: our guides know the species of fish in the lake, and they know how to catch them. Certain types of fish respond to some fishing techniques better than others; rather than let trial and error teach you what those techniques are, our guides can show you.

The Burntwood Lake Lodge has been a fishing destination for locals and out-of-towners for over twenty years. Our picaresque cabins, nestled in the heart of the Walleye territory, are a fisherman’s destination. Book your next fishing trip with us today!
