Let’s start off with ride in from the airport in Winnipeg, you are treated like part of the family.cabin is very nice, individual rooms, crazy view of the lake.main house where u eat is super nice. Mama Olson’s food should be a different review all to itself. It’s like eating in a five star restaurant you will gain weight .mama Olson can cook all the way down to homemade hamburger buns.. The stand that you’re put in are very low pressure. It’s booner box blind. Very comfortable good seats. This family put in a lot of hard work try and get you a really nice deer they work to the bitter end. First day, Stand saw eight bucks second day Stand saw four bucks third day saw three bucks and a fourth day. I took a nice 158 inch buck. The group of five in the camp and it should’ve been 100% but there’s some gun issues with a couple of people. everyone saw shooter. The entire Olson family works at getting you a buck. These are the nicest people you ever met in your life. They will bend over backwards to help you. I had an issue with my gun case handle breaking. Mr. Olson fixed it for me. He booked up fast and has a little lot of repeat customers, so plan on it taking maybe a couple years to get in on the list but the weight is well worth it. This is a full six day hunt and once again I’d like to think Dave ,mama Olson, Tim and Trevor for a wonderful week of hunting in Manitoba. Can’t wait to come back

Rifle Hunt 2018 - St. Martin, Manitoba

I just returned home from 6 days of hunting at Olson Brothers Outfitters. First. let me say the hunting was EXCELLENT!! I could have shot a buck 5 of the 6 days I hunted, I was after a Canadian Monarch, I had my chance the 3rd. day of the hunt, but I did not see him in time, he got passed me, THAT'S ON ME. First, the cooking, Mrs. Olson provided us with the most AMAZING meals everyday!!! The accommodations were AWESOME!! The sleeping quarters were top notch, every hunter has their own separate bedroom and TWO showers. Dave and his sons go above and beyond to put you on your trophy, I have NEVER seen anyone work as hard as these guys do to put you on whitetails!! As I stated earlier, I didn't come home with a whitetail, but I left Canada with something FAR MORE VALUABLE than ANY whitetail, and that is all the new friends I made at Olson Brothers Outfitters. and the PRIVILEGE to spend 6 days with the Olson family. They are the FINEST people you will ever meet. THANK YOU ALL!!! God Bless

Muzzleloader 2012 - Alfred, Maine

I hunted the 2012 muzzleloader season. I have to agree with William on every point. These guys work really hard to make sure you've got the best chance for a trophy. So on November 5 th, the dream of a lifetime was fulfilled, when the 190 class Buck went down. (192 1/8) God still answers prayer & I've been blessed. Thanks so much for a wonderful Hunt. THE STRICKER BUCK

My friend Ken and I had the pleasure of hunting with the Olson's in Manitoba during muzzleloader last season. To sum it up, this is like hunting with friends. Well, that is if you have friends that are awesome cooks, have a beautiful lodge, and will work their butt off to get you a deer :)

The food. Wow. Yes, you will gain weight, just accept it. The BEST walleye ever!!! Every meal was excellent, and more than you can eat. Trust me I tried. The hunting is great, and these guys know the woods. Every treestand had deer, and I saw five shooters(140-170), including the beast I missed. Funny how one little branch can change everything! One was by far the largest bodied deer I have ever seen, and I've shot one that dressed at 258..

My friend Ken shot a nice eight point, and enjoyed some magpie shooting. We have already booked our next trip, and can't wait to see our friends up North again!
