About us, our services
and from our clients !
• Flying
British Airways to go hunting has gotten pricier. Since early
October 2009, BA is charging £50 ($82 US) each way for a firearm, and
has decreased its free checked baggage allowance.Herein, you’ll find answers to many of your basic questions, about us, what we do and how it all works. If you still have questions, or you’d just rather, send us an email or give us a call (763-464-0690). That is okay too!
We invite you to browse through our website. We hope you enjoy the photos and learn something along the way about your desired destination and species. When you find an outfitter or two that pique your interest, make note of their catalog code. Get in touch with us and we’ll mail or email you more detailed information, as well as our most current Adventure Guide. Call us at 763-464-0690, or complete our inquiry form located on the “Contact Us” page, click on the link to the right, or send us an email.
Even though there is plenty of information on our website, the listed destinations represent a cross section of Outdoor Connection’s more than 250 outfitters, with more added each week. Our most popular hunting and fishing destinations are included, as well as some of our more unique offerings. Hopefully there is enough here to get you started thinking about what you are really looking and hoping for, for your adventure. Then we’ll work together with the complete outfitter roster to find just the right outfitter to meet your needs.
Most of our destinations offer guided excursions, some semi-guided and the rest unguided. All destinations are booked through an outfitter, lodge, guide, charter, or captain. Hunts take place on private as well as public property. The information on these pages is from the outfitters, and is subject to change without notice.
Catalog Codes
Our outfitters are listed alphabetically by catalog code as a way to keep them organized and retrievable. The code consists of 2 or 3 letters and 1 or 2 numbers.
The first 2 letters are the typical abbreviation for the destination (except for Alaska which is just A) in the US and Canada, with logical abbreviations for other countries.
AB: Alberta WI: Wisconsin MX: Mexico A: Alaska
The next 1 letter designates if it is a H (hunting) or F (fishing) outfitter. Some outfitters will have 2 codes, because they offer both fishing and hunting adventures.
The last 1 or 2 digit number is just a way to identify the outfitter within their state/ province/ territory/ country. This is not a ranking, it is just a number.
• ABH4: hunting outfitter in Alberta identified by #4
• MTH1: hunting outfitter in Montana identified by #1
• MTF2: fishing outfitter in Montana identified by #2 is actually
same outfitter as MTH1.
Navigating The Website
The green links on the right navigate through more general information including hunting and fishing stories from our clients, general pricing, getting tags/licenses, passports, etc.
The yellow buttons at the top of the page access the outfitter database. They will take you directly to the destination, category or species you are interested in.
Once in the outfitter database, you have Search choices.
Advanced Search: you will be able to search on every conceivable combination of parameters: spring, black bear hunting in Alberta; or fall, black bear hunting in Idaho; saltwater fishing every where else in the world.
Search all: is a text search; works particularly well if you have a catalog code or know you want to see all the Manitoba hunting outfitters (MBH). This is very liberal search engine, so “moose” will return outfitters who even just mention moose in their description – might have better luck with the yellow buttons.
Image: searches the database of images; species and catalog code work best. Note: has to be at least 4 letters, so for elk you need to specify Rocky Mountain or Roosevelt.
More detailed information is available on the outfitter page.
