We started last week with the first baits at all of our black bear hunting stands.  It takes about 8 hours, 31 miles on the ATV and 40 miles on the truck to get most of  the bear hunting sites baited.  Blueberries are just starting to turn blue and need more heat and sunshine for a great crop of them.

Should be a great year for the bears.

We are taking bookings for the 2015 Ontario Bear Hunting season.  Dates begin on Saturday, August 15th and continue through 5 weeks of hunts.

Call or email to book as bear hunting dates are filling fast.

The blueberries were burnt off in our area pretty quickly.  We have an overabundance of different bears hitting our baits.  We’ve been baiting since early July with plenty of feed to fatten them up.  We’ve had a couple of groups in camp so far and they’ve done very well.  First group saw a total of 16 bears and harvested a couple.  One was average size, 200 field dressed and the other was 300+.    The other group saw about 8 bears and shot two with one being a very large bear with a bit of white on its chest.  Coats on these bears were really thick and nice.

Will be good to know the ages of these bears in February when our hunters let us know the age.

Date available August 23rd to 30th for a semi-guided bear hunt.  Please call or email for details.

We’ve got a lot of snow already which makes for a great survival rate for our black bear population.  Dens will be well insulated.

We have now begun to book for the 2014 bear hunting season.  We take groups of 2 to 4 hunters and dates begin Saturdays starting:

August 23rd to 30th
August 30th to September 6th
September 6th to 13th
September 13th to 20th

This would be arriving afternoon of Saturday and departing morning of Saturday.

Call early to book your trip!

The 2013 bear hunting season came to a close for us on Saturday.  We had a total of 14 hunters at the main camp.  They saw a total of 60 bears.  3 bears qualified for Pope & Young.  I hope to get some pictures to post.

September 9th 2013 –  Our 3rd week of bear hunters saw a total of 19 bears and half the hunters tagged out. This included our outpost bear hunters as well as here at the main camp.  Outpost bear hunters had wolves coming in on the baits  and they couldn’t get a good shot at bears as they were hunting with bows.  Weather didn’t cooperate either so made for some challenging hunting.

Our 2nd group of bear hunters have tagged out on bears.  The week was pretty hot as well but we had a couple of days bears were moving.  Berries have pretty much died off.  They did see multiple bears out on baits

Our 1st group of bear hunters have come and gone.  A nice group of fellows from Ohio.  Pretty awesome jalepeno cornbread they brought!  All together saw a total of 13 bears and everyone tagged out.  We are at 100% for seeing bears and 10% for harvesting bears.
