Ontario Moose Hunting

2017 Maltese lake Success
Hunting With Hearstair

Welcome to The Moose Capital of Canada.

Moose hunting in the remote parts of Northern Ontario allows you to truly be in the animal’s territory in its entirety.  To have the ability to stalk, call, track, and kill such a magnificent animal is quite an experience. These areas are unattainable through roads, rail, or any other man-made ways.  You have the advantage of being in locations where moose have no fear of regular traffic. Most of our camps/lakes are only hunted once per year. A great way to make sure there are no other distractions before or after your hunt.
There are different hunting opportunities as far as logistics and accommodations

Ontario Resident Hunters may choose a DIY hunt. Bring your own gear, tent, canoe, and apply for your own tags. We will fly you into a remote location where only you and your group will have the opportunity to hunt during the season. This allows you to explore a map and find the perfect location for you. Lakes or rivers, as long as we’ve got water to land the plane, we’re in.

Full Package Hunts for both residents and non-residents are available for those needing full accommodations and tags. Hunt a lake which hosts one outpost camp or stay in one of our canvas tent camps where once again, you and your group will have the opportunity to be the only hunters on the lake and the only hunters during the season. This hunt will include accommodations, boat/mot/gas or canoe, validation tags needed (2 adult tags for a group of 4 hunters), and all the flying necessary to get you in and out with your moose after a successful hunt.

Full Package Hunts $5500/person plus hst canadian funds

Validation tags provided depend on the allocation for the season. The number and sex of the tags are confirmed with you at the time of your booking. Typically, we can provide 2  adult tags for a group of 4 – 6 hunters.

ONTARIO RESIDENT DIY HUNT

important – These are approximate prices based on locations up to 60 Miles away from air base. Distances affect your weight limits.

Canoe Tie on fee: $350/flight

All flights further than 60 miles are subject to additional mileage rates. No exceptions.

Here is one example of calculating your costs according to the distance of where you will hunt: This is using 2024 beaver aircraft  rates.

WMU 1D is 100 miles away from our air base minimum.

  • 100 miles x 2 = 200 miles / flight x $14.27/mile = $2854/flight
  • 1 flight in + 1 flight out = 2 flights
  • 2 x $2854 = $5708.00 plus taxes

1 flight could fit 2 – 4 hunters and minimal gear, then return with 1 flight if moose is deboned properly. If you need more gear, then you pay for an additional flight.
