Fair Weather in NW Ontario – Go Bear Hunt

Here is NW Ontario we’ve had some unusual spring like weather that has brought a few bears out of hibernation. This is most likely due to their dens being flooded out when able 0 temperatures have hung around. They will crawl back in and go back to sleep once cooler temps arrive.

Fall Bear hunting

We had a great fall bear hunting season. The last week was a little warm but that didn’t stop the hunters from being successful. We harvested a few big bears that had so much fat on them, we were surprised at the amount. We are now taking booking for the spring and fall bear hunting dates and still have a couple spots available

Successful Spring Bear Hunt

We’ve had a very successful bear hunt so far this spring. Lots of bears around, rut is about to start and lots of activity

Ontario Bear Hunting Update

Ontario Fall Bear Hunt-Pickerel Lake Outfitters

The Ontario fall bear hunt is coming fast and starts August 15th. Back at the beginning of July we’ve started baiting for the bear hunt.

There will still be random testing at the border.

Winter Hibernation

Looks like its starting out to be a great winter for the bears. Hopefully with lots of snow to keep them protected from wolves, they will come out of dens in spring in great shape. We should have an awesome Ontario bear hunt
