What's the hunting like in Ontario Canada's Heartland?
Moose, Bear, Deer and small game hunting are all big stuff in the Patricia Region and hunters can expect to experience a high quality hunt. Deer hunting has become the number one big game hunt in Ontario Canada with bear following a close second. Both animals are abundant throughout the region and many trophy bucks and bear are taken each year. Moose hunting is still a very sought after experience but due to limited tags, it may be necessary to book one or two years in advance to ensure you get a tag for that bull of a lifetime.
Hunting License:
"Make sure you know the hunting regulations" says the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR). They release updates of the hunting regulations in the spring each year. You can either pick up a hard copy of the hunting regulations by stopping at the local Bait and Tackle stores or the local MNR office.

Before you start hunting:
When making a hunting trip to North Western Ontario (Canada's Heartland), you should always make reservations in advance to ensure that you have a place to stay and the required tags and permissions for your species of choice. Most hunting lodges and outposts book up well in advance of the season so we suggest you book your accommodations as soon as you have your trip dates setup. For moose hunting especially it may be necessary to book a year or two in advance.

Information on bringing your firearms into Canada:
You are allowed to bring you personal long guns and bows to Canada for the purpose of a hunting trip, however, hand guns are prohibited. There is a registration requirement when you cross the border into Canada which entails a modest registration fee.
