Ontario Moose Hunting at Wildewood on Lake Savant
Looking for a world-class moose hunting adventure that'll test your skills and patience? Wildewood on Lake Savant delivers exactly what serious hunters crave - extended time in prime Ontario wilderness where trophy bulls roam thick timber and open meadows. This isn't your typical weekend hunt. We're talking 8 to 12 nights of dedicated hunting time, giving you the best shot at connecting with one of North America's most coveted big game animals. The remote location means you'll have access to areas where moose haven't been pressured by heavy hunting traffic, and our guides know every game trail, water hole, and bedding area within miles of camp.
Inside the Hunt
Your Ontario moose hunt starts with comfortable cabin accommodations that serve as base camp for daily hunting operations. Each morning begins before dawn with coffee and strategy sessions with your guide, who'll brief you on wind conditions, recent sign, and the day's hunting plan. The 8-night package runs $4,500 for bull tags or $3,500 for cow tags, while the extended 12-night option gives you $5,000 for bulls and $4,000 for cows - that extra time can make all the difference when you're after a mature bull. This top-rated hunting experience caters to one hunter at a time, ensuring personalized attention and maximum hunting opportunity. Your guide will adjust tactics based on what the moose are doing - whether that means setting up in thick cover during the rut or glassing open areas where they're feeding. The single-hunter capacity means no competing for shots or compromising on stand locations.
Tracking Tips & Terrain
Ontario's boreal forest presents diverse hunting scenarios that demand different approaches throughout your stay. Early morning hunts often focus on beaver ponds and marshy areas where moose feed on aquatic vegetation. Your guide will position you downwind of these hotspots, using natural cover to stay concealed while glassing for movement. Mid-morning tactics shift to calling sequences from elevated positions, taking advantage of the rut when bulls respond aggressively to cow calls and grunts. The terrain includes dense spruce and poplar stands mixed with open meadows and creek bottoms - perfect moose habitat that requires patience and persistence. Afternoon hunts typically involve still-hunting through thick cover, moving slowly and stopping frequently to listen and watch. Your guide will teach you to read fresh sign like rubs, tracks in soft ground, and droppings that indicate recent moose activity. Wind direction becomes crucial since moose have exceptional noses and will bolt at the first hint of human scent.
Target Game Breakdown
Moose hunting in Ontario means pursuing the largest member of the deer family, with mature bulls weighing 1,200 to 1,500 pounds and sporting antler spreads exceeding 50 inches. These massive animals prefer dense forest mixed with wetlands, feeding heavily on aquatic plants, willows, and poplar browse. September through October represents peak hunting season when bulls are actively rutting and more responsive to calling. Bulls will thrash vegetation, create wallows, and challenge other males for breeding rights - behavior that creates opportunities for hunters who know how to capitalize on their aggression. Cow moose, while smaller at 800 to 1,000 pounds, present their own hunting challenges and represent excellent table fare. They're extremely protective of calves and highly alert to danger, requiring hunters to be extra careful with scent control and movement. What makes Ontario moose hunting special is the population density and habitat quality - these animals have everything they need to grow large and healthy. The remote location of Wildewood ensures you're hunting areas with minimal pressure, where moose follow natural patterns without constant human interference.
