Looking for a solid deer hunting experience in Ontario without all the fuss? Long Beard Guiding's shotgun package in North Glengarry delivers exactly what you're after.

This is straightforward hunting done right - no gimmicks, just results.
North Glengarry's rolling farmland and mixed forests create perfect deer habitat, and we've spent years scouting the best locations where whitetails and mule deer move naturally. You'll hunt solo from strategically placed tree stands and ground blinds positioned along proven travel corridors, feeding areas, and bedding transitions. The terrain here offers everything from agricultural edges to hardwood ridges, giving you multiple opportunities throughout the day as deer patterns shift. Bring your shotgun, bow, or rifle - whatever you're comfortable with - along with your camo gear, and we'll handle the rest. Our stands are comfortable and safe, positioned for optimal shot opportunities while keeping you concealed from sharp deer eyes. Weather can change quickly in this part of Ontario, so layering is key, and we'll brief you on wind patterns and deer movement based on current conditions.
The mixed agricultural and forested landscape of North Glengarry requires reading sign differently than pure bush hunting. Fresh tracks in muddy field edges tell you where deer are crossing from bedding to feeding areas, while rubs on fence posts and small trees mark territory boundaries. Look for trails connecting woodlots to crop fields - these highways see heavy traffic during dawn and dusk movements. The terrain includes gentle hills with creek bottoms that deer use as cover corridors, plus plenty of edge habitat where forest meets farmland. These transitions are gold mines during the rut when bucks are cruising for does. Wind direction is crucial here since open areas can swirl thermals unpredictably. Morning hunts often focus on deer returning to bedding areas after feeding overnight, while evening sits target animals moving toward food sources. Patience pays off - deer in this area are educated but not spooked, and they'll present good shot opportunities if you stay still and quiet.
White-tailed deer are the bread and butter of North Glengarry hunting, with mature bucks running 160-200 pounds and does averaging 110-130 pounds. These deer are smart and adaptable, using the agricultural landscape to their advantage by feeding heavily on corn, soybeans, and winter wheat. Peak activity happens during the pre-rut and rut periods from late October through November, when bucks throw caution to the wind while chasing does. Whitetails here have excellent genetics thanks to quality nutrition from farm crops, producing respectable antler growth and healthy body weights. What makes hunting them exciting is their unpredictability - they might follow the same trail for weeks, then completely change patterns overnight based on pressure, weather, or breeding activity.
Mule deer represent a unique opportunity in this part of Ontario, as they're less common than whitetails but offer a different hunting challenge. Typically larger than whitetails, with mature bucks reaching 200-250 pounds, muleys prefer more open terrain and rely on their incredible eyesight to spot danger from long distances. Their behavior differs significantly - instead of the stop-and-go movement of whitetails, mule deer tend to move more deliberately and will often stop to look back when spooked. During rutting season, which peaks slightly earlier than whitetails, mule deer bucks become more aggressive and vocal, making rattling and calling techniques particularly effective. The chance to harvest a mule deer in Ontario adds an extra dimension to your hunt, as their distinctive large ears, white rump patch, and rope-like tail make them a prized trophy that many hunters never get the opportunity to pursue.
This shotgun package strips away the complications and gets you straight to quality deer hunting in one of Ontario's most productive regions. With proven stand locations, local expertise, and access to prime hunting ground, you're setting yourself up for success from day one. The $400 daily rate covers everything except your license, tags, and processing - just show up ready to hunt. North Glengarry's deer population is healthy and sustainable, offering realistic opportunities at both whitetails and the occasional mule deer that could make your season. Whether you're looking to fill the freezer or chase that wall-hanger buck, this hunt delivers the goods without breaking the bank. Don't wait until the season's half over - the best hunting happens when you plan ahead and secure your spot early.
Mule deer are the bigger cousins around here, with mature bucks hitting 200+ pounds and sporting those distinctive large ears. They love the mixed terrain we have in North Glengarry - edge country where forest meets open fields and creek bottoms. These deer are smart and will bed in thick cover during the day, moving to feed areas at dawn and dusk. Fall hunting is prime time when they're active before winter sets in. What makes them special is their size and the challenge - they're warier than whitetails and won't hesitate to bound away with that stiff-legged hop. The meat is excellent, lean and flavorful. Here's a local trick: look for their tracks near water sources after a fresh snow. Unlike whitetails, mules will often stop and look back when spooked, giving you that second chance if you stay still.
White-tailed deer are the backbone of hunting around North Glengarry. Mature bucks average 150-180 pounds, and they're creatures of habit once you learn their patterns. They stick to wooded areas with good cover, especially near agricultural fields and water sources like our local creeks. The rut in November gets them moving during daylight hours, making it the best time to hunt. Early morning and evening are your golden hours otherwise. Hunters love them because they're challenging but huntable, with excellent table fare that feeds the family well. The thrill of a mature buck's rack and that white tail flashing as they bound away never gets old. My go-to tip: find their travel corridors between bedding and feeding areas. Set up 20 yards off their main trails rather than right on them - they'll spot you every time if you're too close to where they expect danger.
