Ontario Bear hunt

Our first Ontario bear hunt has started and one of our hunters harvested a nice black bear with small white “v” on its chest.  It will make a beautiful rug.  The weather hasn’t been cooperating too much as its been very still with no wind.

Fall Bear hunt cancellation

We have available immediately a fall bear hunt for up to 3 people.  Date is September 16th to 23rd.  Please call for more details

WE HAVE FILLED THIS BEAR HUNT

Ontario Spring Bear Hunt has almost started

Well, the Ontario spring bear hunt has almost started.  We’ve been busy getting the stands and hunting sites cleared of underbrush and have done some baiting already as our first hunters start the week of May 13th.  We’ve got a limited number of hunters which makes for some outstanding hunting opportunities.  

Our weather definitely isn’t cooperating as its below freezing and we now have about 8 inches of snow on the ground.  Weather is supposed to warm up this coming weekend, so it will melt the snow off quickly.

Believe it or not, its probably a good thing we’ve got snow as the bush is really dry and there isn’t a lot of runoff to raise the levels of the lakes.  The poplars haven’t even started to flush where we are.

2017 March 8 Bears

Last week the weather was really warm and was causing lots of flooding on our logging road.  Since then our temperatures have plummeted with wind chills getting down to -37C.  We’re hoping that it doesn’t thaw out too quickly as bear dens get flooded out if early thaw and makes it really bad for newborn cubs and first time out of the den

2015 Black Bear Hunting

We have our first groups for bear hunting and the bear hunt is going well.  In the first couple of days we’ve gotten 3 bears with the groups seeing 9 bears so far.  We’ve got a mom and cubs on one of the baits so we’ve stopped hunting that bait site even though we’re still baiting it.
