Black Bear Hunting in Ontario

Spring Black Bear Hunting

Medicine Stone Resort is thrilled to offer spring and fall trophy Black Bear hunts in Northwestern Ontario, Canada, the premier hunting spot for trophy SPRING Black Bear.

Note: Once your group books, you have the entire hunting area to yourself. We never book 2 groups together.

We have the exclusive Black Bear outfitter rights for one of the best section of Northwestern Ontario, over 700 square miles of superb Black Bear habitat in the healthy mixed boreal forest in the Red Lake area. See bear management map (.pdf).

As Black Bear hunting outfitters in Northwestern Ontario we NOW offer Black Bear hunts in both the spring and fall. We conduct our hunts within two Bear Management Areas where we have a large, exclusive Black Bear hunting territory for our non-resident clients use. Thanks to our LARGE isolated locations, commute times to hunting areas are minimal. We book groups of 4 to 8 hunters only. Once your group books, you have the entire hunting area to yourself. We will never book two groups during the same week. This will ensure no other groups interfere with your hunt. Each hunter will have access to at least two active baits.

At Medicine Stone Resort we start baiting a minimum of 16 bait locations three to four weeks before the spring and fall opening seasons.

Bears You Will See at Medicine Stone Resort & Outposts

Hunters have the opportunity of seeing Black Bear in excess of 500 lbs. The 3rd largest Black Bear in North America was taken from the Red Lake area (over 750 lbs). You will find that the average Black Bear in our area will weigh about 100 to 200 lbs and about 5% of the bears will be a color phase of brown. This will be from cinnamon to chocolate brown. Although we have had excellent success early in the season everything depends on the first heavy frosts that normally come in late August. To make an exceptional hunt you do need the frost to knock the berries down and then the bear will frequent the bait stations on a more regular basis. 

Most of your successful hunting will be carried out between 4:00 P.M. and dusk as our past records show this is the time frame in which 90% of our bears have been taken. We provide ripened meat scraps, molasses and pastries for bait.
