Welcome . . Looking for a Canada bear hunting lodge? Big game hunting in Canada for black bear & moose are a successful tradition at Canada North Lodge. We offer the finest in accommodations and lodging, fine dining, professional guide service, exceptional equipment and all the amenities that are needed to make a truly memorable trip.

At Canada North Lodge bear hunting is a yearly tradition. We pride ourselves in being able to provide our guests with, what we think, is the best bear hunting trip available. Our 26  years of commitment and experience in offering our hunters successful bear hunting and our history of happy hunters speaks for itself. This outdoor hunting experience can be yours. Your success is our success. It is our goal to see that you will get the best that can be offered.

The Black Bear population in our large Bear Management Area (BMA) is excellent, and has never been over hunted. This area offers exclusive hunting for Canada North Lodge bear hunters. It encompasses 368 square kilometers, 30 miles of water and land on the Woman River Chain of Lakes, 5 portage lakes, and hunting access to land on both sides of the Joyce Lake road which extends 25 miles to the north of our lodge. This BMA provides our hunters with unlimited baited hunting sites and bear hunting opportunities.

We accommodate both bow and gun hunters and limit the number of hunters to 12 during any time period.  The bear hunt is a combination fishing and hunting package which includes one guide per two hunters.

We provide baited hunting sites, 30 to 40, checked daily for bait and bear activity. The sites are set up and maintained several weeks prior to your arrival and provide hit history and activity. The large number of baited sites allows us to provide our bear hunters with a good choice of sites and the capability to change sites if desired. Our 25 years of experience with bear hunting enable us to set baits in historically known good bear hunting areas which in turn increase the odds for hunting success.

The baited sites are ground stands/sites as we do not provide tree stands for liability reasons. If you desire a tree stand bring your personal tree stand with you and we will assist you in setting it up.

The area we hunt has a proven history of success - about 50% - on overall average, based on our 25 years of experience. The overall average in Ontario is about 30%. We do not count missed shots or opportunities. Number of hunters divided by actual kill success is used for calculations. Being factual - we have had the unbelievable high % years and the disappointing low % years. Weather conditions and overall hunting conditions play an important role when it comes to the years results.  As hunters and outfitters we can only do our best. We are proud of these honest averages and feel the percentages are impressive.

Every hunter asks about the size of our bears and if we have taken any trophies. On average, a good adult bear will range between 250 and 325 pounds. Fall bears tend to be larger than spring bears which is another advantage to having our fall hunt that opens on August 15^th.  We have taken much larger bears such as a couple shown here. One, shown below left, was a record bear weighing in at 568 pounds and was considered an unusually big black bear. Our hunters take smaller bears too as it seems that bears tend to look bigger than what they really are when coming to the baits. If you are looking for that quality black bear you have an excellent chance of getting one at Canada North Lodge.

After a hunter is successful in getting his bear the guide will assist in getting the bear back to the lodge and will skin and quarter the bear. The hide will be placed in the freezer for the trip home or to the taxidermist for mounting or for a bear rug. If you desire to have your meat cut up, wrapped, and frozen - we will provide you with an area processor.  Processing fees are not included in the price.

Our bear hunts are a combination fishing and hunting package at no additional charge. If you want to do some fishing in between your hunting for bears, this is your chance.

Opening date is August 15^th.  For available dates and complete answers interested hunters are encouraged to call as we prefer to discuss the hunt personally with each hunter. 1-222-3234. References are available upon request.
