Moose Hunting

hunting2Northwest Ontario has more moose than any other region in Canada.  Moose are the ultimate in big game with many bulls sporting over 55+ inch racks.  We access areas that are fly-in only moose hunting.

Both fully guided and unguided moose hunts are available from us.  Bow hunts as well as traditional rifle hunts are available or for something uniquely different, try and old-fashioned black powder hunt.  Non-resident moose hunts are based on tags available and resident moose hunts are BYOTs (Bring your own tags for 01C, 16A, 16B, 16C or other WMU of preference).  We offer our tags in the very remote wildlife management unit 01C.  There are few settings as wild or as beautiful to come moose hunting.  Endless tracts of boreal forests, rock ridges and wide open meadows make up the topography of this area of Ontario.  As you hunt, you’ll find the setting to be to your liking and in itself a big part of the experience.

Our 01C zone hunt is held on Canadian lakes that are accessible only by air and we are one of the most secluded areas in all of Ontario.  Due to this fact, there is very little hunting pressure and the trophy size moose category is abundant.  It is without a doubt the best moose hunting found in Canada.  At West Caribou we pride ourselves in having one of the best hunts available in Canada.  Our 100’s of years of combined commitment and experience in offering these hunts and our history of happy guests speak for itself.  It is our goal to see that you will get the best that can be offered.  Your success is our success.

Tent Camp Hunting

The advantage of a tent camp is that we place our camps on remote lakes or rivers in areas where there is no hunting pressure whatsoever and no permanent camps exist.   A good wood stove is installed for heat.  We furnish all the utensils, propane cooking stove, Coleman lanterns, saws food, and everything else it takes to make a completely furnished camp.  Non residents are obligated to purchase moose tags from an outfitter.  West caribou air is an authorized outfitter and you must purchase the moose tags from us to hunt with us.  Residents of Ontario may purchase moose tags before arriving or may purchase outfitter issued moose tags at a higher cost directly from us.

7 Day All Inclusive Unguided Hunt

Unguided moose hunts require a lot of self catering and the experience necessary to read moose signs, create successful hunting strategies and call your own moose expertly and deal with the skinning and butchering requirements when you make your kill.  If you have the skills, unguided hunts may be your best option.  We take every precaution to ensure that every member of your party understands what to expect and what to do in a any situation that you might encounter before you leave the float base dock whether your party are all experienced fly in hunters or not.  Satellite phones are available on a first come first serve bases so you can contact us at any time for emergencies to fly meat out to cold storage during warm weather etc.

You must ensure that your camp is left in a natural wilderness state showing no evidence of your presence.  Organic garbage and waste can be disposed of on site by burning or burying.  Inorganic garbage must be removed from the campsite by your aircraft.
