Big Woods Wilderness Outfitters is located in the heart of North America, about 110 miles northeast of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, in Nopiming Provincial Park near the Ontario border.  You will be staying just 15 miles, as the crow flies, from a woodland caribou calving grounds.  The rugged beauty of this Canadian Shield landscape offers countless opportunities for photography.

Please see our own examples on our Photos pages.

Our territory is 2400 square miles of accessible wilderness with great opportunity to view such wildlife as black bear, whitetail deer, timber wolf, moose, bald eagle, fox, lynx, ruffed grouse, marten, and fisher.  Our area also offers excellent fishing opportunities for northern pike, walleye (pickeral), and smallmouth bass.

You will be hunting whitetail deer in the most northerly edge of their range east of Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba.  We are located along the Ontario border, where the spring bear hunt has been banned for several years. This ban has provided a surplus of black bears coming into our bear bait sites.

An added bonus about our location is that, although we are situated in remote forested wilderness, we enjoy well-maintained road access.

Major airlines fly to Richardson International Airport in Winnipeg, Manitoba.  Inform us of your itinerary and we will transport you to and from the airport or your hotel.
