Meet The Crew

Whether you are looking for a personal hunting adventure or a group outing, Upper Oxbow Hunting Adventures can help meet your needs. Our vast hunting area will accommodate your quest for that 'Trophy' of a lifetime. Black Bear, Moose or Bird hunting for Woodcock or Grouse, we have it here. If you are arriving with a non-hunting partner, there are other activities including horseshoes, croquet, tubing, birdwatching and hiking. For the golfers, the 18 hole Miramichi Golf and Country Club is only a short distance from the lodge (non members welcome. green fees applicable). Of course, we are located directly on the World-Famous Miramichi River, renown for Atlantic Salmon fishing, so that is always an alternative.




The Owners

        Dale Norton (center) has been on the Miramichi river all of his life. One of his favorite past-times is paddling his "Old Town" canoe for relaxation. He loves spending time on the river where he can take in all the sights and sounds it has to offer. Dale enjoys sharing his love of the outdoors and the river with all his guests at the Oxbow. Should an idle moment present itself, he enjoys kicking back on the veranda with a book to catch a special moment as the river meanders past his doorstep.


        Debbie Norton (right) is the daughter of Harry & Reta Blackmore. She is just one of the many generations to have grown up on the Oxbow. Being the youngest in the family, Debbie spent a lot of time with her father, traveling to many remote outdoor experiences along the Miramichi river for which she has such deep respect today. She has a smiling face that is always willing to help out her guest. Along with entertaining guests she enjoys canoeing, poling & kayaking, she just likes to be in harmony with all the river has to offer. She loves to greet new customers and welcome them into the fraternity at Upper Oxbow. You will be glad you came and shared what Debbie refers to as; "Her little piece of paradise."



Camp Manager

        Debbie and Dale are fortunate to have a second generation "riverman" as their Camp Manager. Brett Silliker has been guiding for 18 years having attained the skills from his uncle Guy Silliker (also written about in Curtis' River Guides of the Miramichi). Brett is a strict conservationist and has taught his outdoor skills to anglers and hunters from around the world. He has managed the camp for the past 14 years and has earned the respect of many of the other "rivermen" for his skills and expertise. Return clients often ask specifically for his services.
