I'm in the market for booking myself a black bear hunt in Ontario. I was hoping someone on here would have some info as to a good lodge with a good harvest rate.

Va3cgt, It's a shame! You abide by the rules follow guidelines do alot of research and still get the "rubber glove treatment"

va3cgt A friend of mine was bow hunting, downed a deer. Everything legal to the letter. I guess somebody saw him in cano dragging his deer out. He was met by a few cops who didn't have much info/knowledge on if he could even be hunting. Long story short he was kept there for a few hours. Not really ...

Thanks for looking out brotha. I'm leaning more towards simcoe. Do you have any info for that area?

Thanks for the info people! I'm thinking about setting up some.trail cams in the Waterford area (not sure what wmu) hopefully it pans out for me

What's the public land access like? I've always shyed away from southern ontario because of the lack of hunting opportunities and some horror stories I've been told by friends of mine who tried to hunt the hamilton area.

I'm just wondering who hunts deer in southern ontario and what their success rate is like? Thinking about scouting spots a little closer to home (toronto)

Thanks for the positive imput everyone.

Again, Tom to the rescue. Your input is much appreciated.

Thanks for the info Tom, I'm new to archery hunting and really only have info given to me by BPS and Cabelas. Any logical real word experience/info helps.

I will be going bear hunting this upcoming season and thought of trying the Excal boltcutters a whirl. 150 grains will prob give me enough penetration

So basically what you're saying janesy is that as long as my bolt's total mass is in the reccomended 350-400 grain area I should be fine to play around with different broadheads and i most likely wont get 24 inch groupings?

Ok people. I'm interested in seeing what everyone's favourite broadhead is for black bear and why.

I'm unreasonably green in regards to archery. I was told by my local retailer that if I don't use 150's my bolts will be all over the target and I won't be able to shoot accurately. Will I need any kind of insert etc to shoot 100-125 grain bh's from my stock quill arrows? Again thanks in advance for...

I have just purchased my 1st crossbow, a micro nightmare 335. I now want to buy broadheads but don't see very many 150 grain broadheads out there. Can I safely use a lesser grain broadhead such as a toxic or mechanical in the 100-125 grain range? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
