TESTIMONIALS & REFERENCES

 

Dave Cartright, Ohio

Thanks for the last 2 trips you have provided me. You have set me up with the best hunting I have ever done in my life. 2 Pope and Young bears in 2 trips is AWESOME! I hope to be up there soon and all is well. You run a kickass operation and I wish you well. Thanks again.

"I have been an avid hunter of nearly all North American small and big game species, and have had exposure to many different camp sites and outfitters. I have to say that the operation that Keith Cote w/ Sportsman's Pride is the best I have had the opportunity to hunt with. He and his staff do not cut corners for safety and do not stop to offer a memorable successful hunt. After 30 years of hunting, I have finally found an outfitter/guide that will tell you the truth with no hidden agendas. I would highly recommend keith Cote's operation to anyone who is looking for one of the greatest opportunities to enjoy the North Country and harvest a black bear. When I go bear hunting I go with Keith! Do not hesitate to contact me if you would like to hear first hand the experiences I have had with Keith. 434-286-2656."

The fall of 2005 will make my fourth trip to Maine and New Brunswick to hunt with Keith and his people the service is great the bears are plentiful, the food in New Brunswick this spring was fantastic. I saw 9 bears this spring, five in one evening. "Four trips to the same outfitter says it all."

 

Testimonial - Mark Tedesco, Waterbury Connecticut

“I have hunted bears all over North America, mostly in Alberta and other provinces. Keith and his staff put out more bait and provide more personal attention than any other camp I have been in.”

 

Testimonial - Jim Orth

"I just wanted to drop you a line and again thank you for a great hunt.even though I didn't get a bear just seeing (9) bear in only five days was unbelievable. There are some bruiser's out there. On the last night that sow was a giant, I still can't get over her and the (3) cubs.   Well again thanks.  I'll be back in the spring and my friends can't wait to come up with me. "

 

Testimonial - JR GUNTER

"I have hunted with Keith Cote @ Sportsman's Pride Outfitters two times. On the first trip I killed a bear the first day. On the second trip I waited for a larger bear and killed it on the third day. I saw bears every time I sat on a stand. On the first trip I sat on several stands with my video camera and filmed bears each day. The camp is great and the food is fabulous. All the guides and the cooks are wonderful! I plan to hunt with Keith every year as long as he will allow."

 

Testimonial - Don French, Leonardtown, Maryland 

"The spring of 2007 will be my fourth hunt with Keith and his staff in New Brunswick.  Keith will do whatever it takes to make your hunting trip memorable.  He has excellent guides and personal attention is the norm.  The food is outstanding.  Sportsman's Pride Outfitters is highly recommended."

 

Testimonial - George Pinkham, DVM

"My first hunt with Sportsman's Pride Outfitters was in the fall of 2002.  I hunted in Maine and on my first Tuesday night, I connected with a P&Y boar that dressed out at 307 pounds.  I have returned every spring and fall since, hunting either side of the St. Johns River.  I have not only seen bears on every hunt, I have also had shot opportunities every week I've hunted as well. 

       In addition, I suggested Keith's camp to nine hunting friends who will have hunted a total of twenty-six hunts with Keith, as of spring 2007.  And I've hunted two or more times with six different hunters that I met while hunting with Sportsman's Pride Outfitters.  Including me, that's sixteen hunters who have hunted more than sixty times with Keith."

 

Testimonial - Robert Shearer

"My son's first bear hunt and a great one at that. Keith, the camp, his staff, the food and the hunters gave us a week to remember. Great father/son hunt and Keith went out of his way to accommodate all his hunters. Definitely will be back. Check this hunt out everyone. Life is short, but then again, so is Keith!"

 

Testimonial - George Gaspa

"Fall of 2007 will make my 4th hunt with Keith! I've bear hunted 15 years with four different outfitters -- Keith is the best outfitter I've hunted with. I highly recommend hunting with Keith at Sportsman's Pride Outfitters. He also runs a great taxidermy shop."

 

Various other hunters state that food and accommodations are the best they have ever seen (bar none).
