About Us

Nighthawk Outfitters provide quality guided black bear hunts in the Matheson area located in the heart of Northern Ontario Black Bear Country.
Your host and guide is Gary Couillard a retired Ontario Conservation Officer who has been guiding since 2007. If you are in Law Enforcement or are just
looking for an honest, reliable, law abiding outfitter you are at the right place.
We are located on Highway 101 about half way between Matheson and Timmins. For some hunts you will be staying at a cabin at our home property on beautiful Reid Lake. The cabin holds a maximum of four hunters. For other hunts we set up a remote outpost camp consisting of a huge completely equipped outfitter tent, shower room and outhouse. Your group will be the only group being guided for the duration of your stay. This ensures quality personal service to meet your needs.
We are licensed by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources to provide exclusive black bear guiding services to non-resident and resident hunters on four Bear Management Areas totaling 283 square kilometers of Crown Land.
