Ontario Hunting Regulations Michigan's Hooks and Bullets Magazine "CLOSE TO 100% OF OUR BEAR HUNTING CLIENTELE ARE REPEAT HUNTERS, NEW HUNTERS THEY BRING WITH THEM AND WORD OF MOUTH" Hi Doug and Roxann, Unfortunately I did not get to hunt with you this past year, and I don't know when I will be able to make the return trip from Texas for a bear hunt. I heard that all three of the Texas hunters got their bears this past season. That just goes to show how you two have continued to provide an outstanding place for the serious North American hunter every year. My bear rug is on my wall today, and it will always be one of my most-valued trophies. I hope to get back up to the North Country again in the future. If not, I can assure you that my bear hunt at Moose Horn Lodge in August of 2008 will always be a very pleasant memory. The food was superb--- the accommodations were outstanding---and the bear sets were freshly baited and productive. Thank you for providing a great place for hunters to come each year. May God's blessing always be with you and your family. Dennis Luton Elgin, Texas "Please call for references from successful and unsuccessful hunters" One of the, if not, the highest success rate in Ontario Our 2011 fall bear hunt success rate was 80% with a 175% sighting rate is a time honored family tradition at Moose Horn Lodge.

Moose Horn Lodge is 10 miles from the Chapleau Crown Game Preserve which is the biggest game preserve in the world.

Our success rate is almost three times the provincial average of 30%. This is why Moose Horn Lodge is well known all over North America.

Most hunters in Ontario must now wear hunter orange garments during the big game season. 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.
