Looking for a deer hunting outfitter.

Hi, I'm looking to hunt deer either up towards North Bay or somewhere in eastern ont. My current deer spot here has pretty much dried up so I'm looking to travel for a week's trip somewhere with treestands or blinds set up. It's just me so an outfitted hunt with meals would be good too. My internet searches have been unsuccessful due to already booked or northwest ont. hunts(too far). Manitoulin island is a possibility but a long way around after the ferry quits. It would be a rifle hunt. Any suggestions would be appreciated.Thanks.

really the only place i know of offering guided hunts in the north bay area... never dealt with them, but if steve is their guide, you are in for a excellent hunt... not sure if he is their guide or not, i just know he guides, and is a very knowledgable man, and his picture is on their website so im guessing haha

couple other options are little river resort in golden valley, and lost channel inn out near hwy 69, dont think they offer guided hunts but just accomodations...

I don't know anything about this guy but saw this ad posted.

Thanks Steve, little river resort is booked up and lost channel I have hunted there before for moose. Too many other hunters to be on public land with. South river resort is busy with ice fishing now so we'll see. Thanks though Steve.

havent hunted out the lost channel way in a few years now, but there is lots of land and lots of big deer to go along with all those hunters... shot this fella about 10 minutes away from lost channel inn :)

Not really eastern but more in the middle. He has helped me with my boat and I'm hoping to use him in the spring for a turkey hunt. Really nice guy. He does a winter feeding program and spoke of a lot of deer. I might get the storey wrong but his daughters first deer was a ten. I'm sure she was put in the right place.

No interest in finding a camp? Army of one?

Nice buck. I hunt the French River for birds when I don't feel like driving far but steer clear during gun season. On a number of occasions, I have come across deer on both sides of that stretch of the highway east/west of Lost channel. Too many rifles there during deer season.

Have you thought about anything in Southern Ontario instead? There are probably more outfitters (and deer) too.

Haven't found anything solid yet.

Hunted at South River Resort last year with my Dad at the beginning of archery season, non guided we hunted crown land and did it on our own. Nice cabins, and nice spot. Steve was not the Hunting guide (at least when we were there) but we did speak to the guy who was guiding two other guys for a few days and he seems like a really nice guy and knows the area and his stuff.

Jason is just north of Havelock. He has taken some good bucks in the past.

yes lots of guns close to the hwy, but if you put some miles on your boots, back to where guys cant get to with atvs, thats where you find those fellas :) i shot that one, about a 1 hour walk from the hwy 522, was able to drive the atv to him, but wasnt easily...

I have a good buddy that lives right in southriver and he was saying deer numbers were very low this year ,HOW DID YOU MAKE OUT T O .DUTCH

Didn't even see a deer while we were up there DUTCH, saw SOME tracks but not much at all, the other two guys who were doing the guided hunt a few cabins over saw only 1 buck I believe. Mind you the weather was in the deers favour while we were there, full moon every night and really windy and rainy through the day, except the day we went home of course.

Hey everyone looking to start or join a hunt camp, preferably by central ontario as I live in london. I'm a 27 year old guy have all the toys n knowledge. Get back to me if you or you know anyone that is interested.
