What Our Customers Are Saying
Great People and a Fabulous Experience The bear hunting was fantastic with everyone seeing multiple bears, the immense area, quality of baits, and then harvesting a great bear. But it goes further than that, it’s so much more than just the animal, or the hunt, it’s about the total experience. The solitude of an evening, the scenery, and the people you meet. People that care, people that go out of their way to make sure your stay is comfortable. A camp run by family, your family. To me all of these things are what make up a great experience, and that experience starts at Pakuni Lodge. If anyone is looking for a complete bear hunting adventure, look no further, this is it.Randy O.
Great Hosts and Friendly Staff My hunting trip to Pakuni Lodge was the best. The hosts there took us to well used sites where we saw a number of shooter bears. A great hunt and great fishing during the mornings.Jason W.
The Best Hunting Experience Keith and Debbie run an excellent outfitting business that is both personable yet professional. I saw 4 bears that came within range before deciding on the bruin of my choice. Thanks again for the wonderful week.Dave
Awesome Hospitality and a Lot of Bears The Fretz family together run a magnificent bear hunt at Pakuni Lodge. We were met with enthusiasm and a love for the wild and received their hospitality freely. They took great care of us during our week there and made sure we were in the right areas where the bears were. I got a lot of great pictures and shot my first bear. Thanks Pakuni.Tim
