Hunting is a popular recreational activity in many parts of the world. Moose hunting Ontario, in particular, is remarked to be a challenging one. It has been a target for many of these hunting expeditions in parts of the USA and Canada. Owing to its high population in the past, moose served to be a primary source of food and furniture. The hides of the hunted moose were utilized as furniture and, their majestic antlers are provided for weapons and jewelry resources, or simply a trophy hung on walls.

With times changing, the moose may not be a source of food or furniture, but it sure provides the thrill of hunting. The moose is a well-favored game catch in Alaska and Canada. Most hunters consider it a big win if they manage to track down a moose because of the declining population of moose. If you’re in Ontario and curious about moose hunting, here’s everything you’ll need to know about moose hunting Ontario before you make your first shot! 

 

The Canadian Moose

A moose is one of the largest and heaviest members of the deer family. Canadian moose is considered the most prized North American trophy. The number of moose in Canada is believed to be between 500 thousand to 1 million. They are typically found on the rocky hillside of the western mountain ranges, along the edges of the great boreal forest.

A Canadian moose can grow to be 7 feet tall, weigh 1,500 pounds, and have an antler spread of more than 60 inches. A male Canadian moose weighs almost 1200 lbs and, a female Canadian moose weighs around 800lbs.

For some, the best joy of hunting takes place in a snow-blanketed region. Hunting is a physically and emotionally exhausting experience, and a snow-blanketed region adds to the challenge, depending on the depth of the snow. There are few thrills like tracking and stalking a moose as they pass over snow-covered terrain.

However, if a little adventure along with moose hunting is what you’re looking for, the outposts in Ontario are the place to be. Moose hunting in Ontario is an exciting chase built around marshes. It is easy to slip up on an Ontario moose quietly through a canoe or stalk them in their feeding areas. 

Moose hunting Ontario season offers a variety of methods to track down a moose. Hunters can choose any weapon of their liking – guns, rifles, bow, and arrows – depending on the season.

Hunting License Required For Hunting Moose in Ontario

Non-residents and residents of Ontario have different rules and regulations when it comes to moose hunting licenses. Non-residents who wish to bring firearms across state lines will almost certainly need to fill out a Firearm Declaration form. 

 

Hunting Equipment Required

Be sure to pack headlights, camp stove, water gloves, rain gear, bug repellent, binoculars, knee-high rubber boots, and a whole lot of other general supplies before embarking on your hunt. It is best to research an exhaustive list or check with your package provider.

How to Find a Moose

Moose are tricky to hunt. While a moose is easy to locate at first, they are masters at slipping past and hiding in the thickets thanks to their large form. And because they frequently graze in the same thickets, they can hide for days at a time. However, the real challenge for most hunters is carrying the carcass back to camp. The dead meat is difficult to drag, and packing the heavy, soggy meat often results in injuries and bruises for most.

Therefore, it is advisable to hunt in groups and ensure your companions can help each other carry the carcass back home once the hunt is over. 

Moose Hunting Ontario Lodges 

Moose hunting lodges are spread out in Canada. Built-in lush green wilderness and lakes, these lodges provide a prime spot for moose hunting and with any requirements needed for it.

Depending on the package or company you choose, they take care of most of your hunting needs. Offering a round trip from the floatplane to the moose hunting region, gearing you up with hunting supplies, camps, and cabins at outposts for comfortable rest and stay, and arrangement of delicious meals and drinks — these hunting packages provide you with everything for a comfortable and thrilling hunt experience.

It is advisable to sign up for a moose hunting package for a relaxing vacation with an experience of a lifetime if that’s what you’re venturing for. However, especially for beginners who haven’t had a taste of hunting – a moose hunt might probably not be the safest to venture alone. So, research on the web and select a moose hunting package in the country you’re in, be it Algoma Country or Sunset Country, and choose a hunting package that is best suitable to you. 

 

Hunting a moose is a frustrating activity. However, for proud hunters and those who love a good adventure, this activity supplies a thrill of a lifetime. Hanging the trophy antlers on a wall at your house or the garage door proudly is the ultimate prize most hunters look for.

Therefore, it is necessary to maintain caution at all times and not get caught up in the adrenaline rush of it all, which is most likely to happen. Safe and happy hunting is all we wish for!
