About hunting in Ontario

Ontario, located in east-central Canada, is home to nearly 40 percent of the country’s population as well as its largest city, Toronto. But Ontario is a huge province with plenty of room for hunters to roam its woods and fields in search of thriving populations of deer and black bears, as well as moose and elk. Black bears are one of Ontario’s major attractions for nonresident hunters. Bears can be hunted in both spring and fall in most management units, and are usually hunted over bait. The spring bear hunt was closed for a number of years but was recently reopened to help control the large numbers of bears. Ontario also has excellent deer hunting, with an estimated 400,000 white-tailed deer in the province. Good deer hunting can be found in most regions of the province. Moose hunting has also traditionally been and important part of the Ontario hunting scene. In recent years moose populations have declined to about 90,000 animals, which is still a significant number. The best moose hunting is generally in the more remote areas of the province. Ontario also a small population of elk, but the season is restricted to Ontario resident hunters only. Upland game, including ruffed grouse and spruce grouse; turkeys; and waterfowl round out the varied hunting opportunities in Ontario.

This was a pleasure. My stand was well prepared and comfortable. The food was great and home made. Nick and his mother Tina were very nice and helpful. We had a man show up to camp who had never hunted and unfired rifle. Nick got his gun zeroed and taught him to shoot. He got his bear on the second night. Six bears taken nine hunters. Everyone had a chance to take a bear. The fishing was very good also.

The weather was very hot for this time of year. Everything else in the outfitters power was great.

This hunt far exceeded my expectations. I was amazed at how hard this outfitter worked to make your hunt a successful and memorable one. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. I have physical limitations which I explained prior to booking my hunt and was assured I could be accommodated. It was unbelievable how well I was taken care of. I would 100% recommend this outfitter to anyone interested in getting value for your hard-earned money. I know that I will be planning to return.

Not a single thing!!!
