Ironbound Lake Outfitters

[HBartley]

Hello everyone, I have a moose hunt booked this year with Ironbound Lake Outfitters. Curios if anybody out there can give me some reviews or feedback from recent experiences with this outfitter. They were recommended to me from a fella I met at a whitetail hunt in Illinois that had been twice and had a great experience. So far communication has been great with them, but I can't find much along the lines of online reviews. Any info is greatly appreciated!

They use to go by just ironbound outfitters. Try that in Google. I have no experience with them so can't help there

What dates are you booked? First time for you too?

Why wouldn't you get as you say, " real world experience" BEFORE booking a hunt? Any quality outfit can & will provide a list of previous clients so you can call & talk with them about their experiences, but all of this should be done prior to booking. Hope it turns out well, but you are asking for trouble by not doing the appropriate leg work beforehand.

true enough. I did that. Everyone I talked to hadn’t been in several years but was pleased with the experience hence why said “recent” experience. I didn’t know they had changed names. Why would they do that? I can give anyone a list of references that I know would give good feedback it is what it is. I noticed lately someone called them out for deleting comments on Facebook post, reasons like that are why I’m asking from anybody that’s dealt with them that’s willing to chime in. I don’t think that’s unreasonable

A friend and I went out September 28th 2023 with Ironwood. Our guide was good. Mark Pike was good to deal with. We both shot bulls - but nothing huge. Mine was 34" and my friends was 29". All but one guy shot his moose in the group that was coming back in when we were heading out. So about a 95% kill rate at the time. If you're looking for a beautiful area to hunt, decent food, good guides and a bull moose to bring home, you should be happy with it. If you need a 40" bull or bigger to consider the hunt a success, it's possible but not guaranteed by any means. We enjoyed the entire experience and want to go back sometime.......for a 40" or bigger bull
