Black Bear Hunting near Missanabie Ontario

Northern Walleye Lodge: The Missanabie Region is Ontario's hotspot for Black Bear hunting and our Bear Management Areas (BMAs) are the hottest of them all. We have two BMAs totaling 333 square miles and both are stuffed with huge Black Bears. The reason for this is we are located in a very fertile area that has many lakes and streams and a variety of landscapes, which produce an abundance of food that the bears like such as wild Blueberries, Raspberries and soft grasses. Black Bears in our BMAs average around 250 pounds. On occasion hunters meet up with bears between 400 and 500 pounds but Black Bears that big are rare and we do not want you to expect to see a beast like that. However, since the largest Black Bear harvested at our camp in recent years weighed in at 615 pounds, it's not unreasonable to feel the excitement and anticipation of the possibility of harvesting a large trophy boar over 400 pounds. Sighting rates from year to year range from 95% to 100%. Harvest rates are usually around 65%. Accommodations are in lakefront housekeeping cabins.
