Moose Horn Lodge is 10 miles from the Chapleau Crown Game Preserve which is the biggest game preserve in the world. Our location is called the Black Bear Capital due to our area having the most dense population of Black Bears in the world. Our 2007 fall bear hunt success rate was 94% with a 241% sighting rate. Our success rate is more than three times the provincial average of 30%. This is why Moose Horn Lodge is well known all over North America. Black Bears in our area average anywhere between 150 and 300 pounds due to the abundance of food, wilderness location and the conservation management of Moose Horn Lodge. Go to Bear Hunt Details.

All licensed individuals hunting during the rifle seasons for deer, moose or black bear, must wear an outer garment of at least 400 square inches of hunter orange above the waist. A hunter orange cap also must be warn. The regulation applies to upland game hunters and archers during the big game rifle seasons as well. Waterfowlers won't be required to wear hunter orange, nor will archers during archery-only seasons. Upland game hunters escape the regulation outside the rifle seasons for deer and moose. The clothing must be solid hunter orange. Open mesh or camouflage hunter orange does not qualify. The 400 square-inch minimum equates roughly to a solid hunter-orange vest and cap.
