Hunting in North Western Ontario, Canada

Please view each hunting category for all detailed information about Whitetail Deer Hunts, Black Bear Hunts, Waterfowl & Bird Hunts, as well as Timber Wolf Hunts.

Hunting has been the main service that has always been provided at Harris Hill Resort since it was established.

One of the main reasons would be the low pressure hunting in this area, along with the low population of inhabitants.

There are miles and miles of remote land and wilderness areas that we can access for Deer and Wolf hunting.

We have assigned areas for our Black Bear Hunts that cannot be hunted by anyone else either. Our Bear Management Area is one of the largest in NothWestern Ontario.

We have an incredible opportunity for Waterfowl hunts here. Our Bay in front of the lodge has rice beds and reeds that provides shelter for the hunters and encourages an influx of Ducks and Geese. This is also a known migratory flight route for a variety of species of Ducks and Geese.

Black Bear Hunts were more popular than Whitetail Deer Hunts in former years. At that time there was spring and fall Black Bear Hunts in Ontario. Now we only can offer fall Black Bear Hunts.

Whitetail Deer Hunts are very popular for both residents and non-resident Deer Hunters. It is amazing to see the number and quality of Trophy Bucks that come out of this area every year.

Timber Wolf Hunts are also becoming popular as they are not offered by every camp. They are offered here at Harris Hill Resort.
