can be a little hard to get with a good outfitter. You should get one lined up as soon as you can, spots fill up quick. It can be a little un-nerving walking in the woods before sun-up with a pail full of fishheads and dougnuts. It is worth it, alot of fun, long days in the stand. took a nice bear last year, the first day, spent the rest of the trip fishin the walts on moose lake.
