Dean and Dave,
What a great time we all had at the lodge on the weekend. When we arrived we were greeted with finest of hospitality. The lodge looks very beautiful inside and out, it was built with the finest of materials and craftsmanship. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we were all able to relax and have a very good time and surely a good night sleep. I could not think of one single thing that was not at our finger tips. Thanks for everything and you will be seeing us again. (casper)

Dean,
I can’t tell you how much we enjoyed hunting with you and working with all the other great folks you had in camp. Your Dad must be made of blue steel!
No, we didn’t get the biggest critters in the world, but that is something that can’t be controlled. However, everything that you guys could control, you did in a first class manner. It is without question the finest run tent camp I have ever been in. I couldn’t believe that someone was up that early in the morning just to make a fire in our stove so it would be warm when we did get up! The food was great, the camp was great, the hunting was fine too, but I think the thing I enjoyed most was you and your people....a tremendous work ethic and a wonderful sense of humor. I would enjoy the honor of hunting with you again sometime.

While hunting with Dean Crocker in September, we had hoped to see a few black bears and get enough footage and material for a television show and magazine feature article. We actually spotted 12 bears in less than four days and got most of them on film! We've hunted practically every species of game available in Newfoundland and Labrador, and this ranks as one of the most exciting hunts of them all. Dean Crocker proved not only to be a great guy with a friendly, easy-going personality, (and a great joke teller back at camp), but he's a real pro and quite serious when it comes to bear hunting. We call him "the bear man." He has a tremendous passion for the sport and for hunting in general. And yes, we got our bears and a great show out of it.

When my girlfriend and I booked a spring black bear hunt. Which was suppose to be a hunt of a lifetime with (Beaulieau's Caribou & Black Bear Trophy Hunt)also known as deep country lodge We didn't know what to expect. Now that the hunt is over. We can not wait to go again. Dean Crooker and his staff are great people. They are very friendly and down to earth. The lodge is 4 stars and the meals are some where between gourmet and really great homecooking. The guides are outstanding . They really know what they're doing.
