Ontario Bear Hunting Expeditions

With vast expanses of natural habitat, black bears thrive in northwest Ontario. Our bear hunting is managed by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources through tourist outfitters operating their own management areas. Extremely well adapted to living in the boreal forest, these ingenious animals eat berries, insects, grubs, small mammals and fish. Bears also scavenge and are known to visit the local towns every fall causing havoc mostly by garbage raiding. The laughable Bruins will do just about anything in search of food. Use our site to discover everything you need to know about hunting for black bear in the Sunset Country region of Ontario, Canada. Up here, we have the forest cover and food sources to support large populations of this extraordinary mammal. The animals occur in cinnamon and blonde color phases although black is the most common.

Our member outfitters - each with their own Bear Management Areas - can set you up in a wilderness location complete with pre-baited stands that attract large bears. How you hunt is up to you. Black bear are a popular choice of bow hunters and traditional rifle hunters alike. Careful wildlife management practices assure that bear hunters who visit Northwest Ontario have a good opportunity for success.
