There hasn't been as much excitement amongst outdoorsmen in Canada since the invention of decoys. Bass Pro has come to Ontario! No more having to travel from one shop to another in order to get the basic essentials. We all hate wasting valuable time that could be better used in the blind. The concept of getting everything you need for your hunt all under one roof is very exciting.

The marriage between Canada In The Rough™, Canada's #1 hunting show, and Bass Pro Shops, North American's #1 outdoor retail store, is a natural one. Little did we realise just how great a match it was until the 2005 Fall Hunting Classic where we were met with high praise from the hundreds of thousands that attended.

A very exciting beginning and we look forward to remaining a strong team for many years to come.
