Looking for a real hunting experience in Ontario's wilderness? Wildewood on Lake Savant delivers exactly what serious hunters want - no fluff, just solid guiding and prime hunting territory. We've been running hunters through these woods for years, and our two package options give you flexibility based on your schedule and budget. The 8-night package runs $2,000 per person, while our full 12-night experience is $2,650. Both get you comfortable cabin accommodations and experienced guides who know these lands like the back of their hand. This isn't a tourist trap - it's hunting the way it should be done.
Your hunt starts before dawn with coffee and a quick briefing on weather, wind direction, and game movement patterns our guides spotted the day before. We're talking real hunting here - long sits in proven stands, spot-and-stalk opportunities when conditions are right, and guides who've spent decades learning every ridge, creek bottom, and feeding area in our territory. The cabins aren't luxury resorts, but they're warm, dry, and exactly what you need after a full day in the field. Each hunter gets individual attention since we cap groups at just one person - no crowds, no competition for the best spots. You'll cover different areas throughout your stay, from hardwood ridges to swamp edges where big game likes to move. Our guides read sign like a book and they'll teach you what to look for if you want to learn.
Ontario's mixed forest gives you incredible variety in hunting tactics. Early morning sits in elevated stands overlooking natural funnels between feeding and bedding areas produce consistent action. The terrain here includes dense coniferous stands perfect for still-hunting when snow conditions are right, plus open hardwood areas where you can glass from ridge tops. Our guides focus heavy on wind direction and scent control - they'll position you based on thermals and prevailing winds, not just where the trail camera photos look good. We use a mix of ladder stands, hang-on sets, and ground blinds depending on the specific location and hunting pressure. The tracking techniques vary with conditions, but fresh snow opens up opportunities for following sign that just isn't possible other times of year. Your guide will show you how to read tracks, scat, rubs, and feeding sign to understand movement patterns rather than just hoping something walks by.
While we can't specify exact target species without current regulations and your particular tags, Ontario's forests support healthy populations of the game animals that bring hunters back year after year. Whitetail deer thrive in this mixed habitat, using the dense cover for security while feeding in openings and along forest edges. They're most active during the first and last hour of daylight, though rutting activity can change their patterns completely. The bucks here have seen hunting pressure, so they're wary and tend to use terrain features and thick cover to their advantage. Black bears are another exciting possibility, especially near natural food sources like berry patches and oak ridges during the right seasons. They're incredibly intelligent and have keen senses, making them a challenging and rewarding species for experienced hunters. Moose inhabit the more remote areas, particularly around swamps and beaver ponds where they feed on aquatic vegetation. These massive animals require specialized techniques and are truly the hunt of a lifetime when opportunities present themselves.
The reality is that prime hunting opportunities in Ontario don't stay available long, and our single-hunter capacity means spots fill up fast. Whether you choose the 8-night package for a solid week in the woods or go all-in with the full 12-night experience, you're getting access to private hunting territory with guides who live and breathe this stuff year-round. The longer stay gives you more flexibility to work around weather, adjust tactics based on what you're seeing, and really settle into the rhythm of the hunt. Both packages include the same quality guiding and cabin accommodations - the difference is simply how much time you have to make it happen. Don't wait until the season's almost over to start planning. Contact Wildewood on Lake Savant now to secure your dates and start planning the kind of hunt you'll be talking about for years.
