HUNT REPORT
HUNTER: Rick Cudlipp
HUNT: British Columbia Black Bear Hunt
Consultant: Russ Meyer, Outdoors International
May 2014
I was 100% happy with my hunt!
I arrived late at night, hunted the next day. Saw black bear and grizzly every day. Held out until last day and shot a beautiful British Columbia black bear with guide Gary. If possible, would hunt with him for the rest of my hunting career. He is a wonderful person and has a great sense of humor. A very capable guide who is in terrific shape and demonstrates above average mountain skills. I made friend’s here that will be sorely missed until I meet them again. One of the top three of all of my hunts for sure. They produce and bend over backwards for you.
Outdoors International should adopt me as their handicapped poster child! Even though I have back and knee issues, I never give in to the pain and make each shot count!
- The relationship that I have with Russ as a friend is very important to me and I sure wish that all of my hunts had been through him.
- Would you book another trip with OUTDOORS INTERNATIONAL in the future? Yes.
- Can we use your stories and/or photos on our website? Yes.

Fishing and crabbing was special bonus. The food was excellent, the crew was amazing. Outdoors International did a great job of finding exactly what we were looking for. Jesse Neveau The hunting lodge was out of this world!, Rooms, food and the scenery were all A+. Our guide was exceptional and had us on Shiras moose all five days. We saw over 30 total with at least 10 bulls. They had a plan for everything including taxidermy and game processing. Kayla Redmon
