Ontario Moose Hunting | Extended Stay Packages
Welcome to Wildewood on Lake Savant, where serious moose hunters come to experience what Ontario's wilderness has to offer. I've been guiding hunters through these northern woods for years, and let me tell you – there's nothing quite like tracking a bull moose through the Canadian bush. Our extended stay packages give you the time you need to really dial in on these magnificent animals, whether you're after a trophy bull or filling the freezer with a cow tag.
Inside the Hunt
Our hunting packages are designed for hunters who understand that moose hunting isn't a weekend hobby – it's a commitment. The 8-night package runs $4,500 for a bull tag or $3,500 for cow moose, while our 12-night option gives you even more time in the field at $5,000 and $4,000 respectively. You'll be staying in comfortable cabin accommodations that beat sleeping in a tent when the October nights start getting cold. Each hunter gets their own space, and the cabins are positioned strategically near our best hunting zones. What sets this experience apart is the extended timeframe – most hunters rush through a 3-4 day hunt and end up going home empty-handed. Here, you've got the luxury of time to learn the patterns, scout properly, and wait for the right opportunity.
Tracking Tips & Terrain
The terrain around Lake Savant is classic moose country – mixed boreal forest with plenty of wetlands, beaver ponds, and natural clearings where these animals love to feed. We hunt primarily from strategically placed tree stands and ground blinds, but spot-and-stalk opportunities come up regularly when conditions are right. Early morning and late evening are prime time, just like you'd expect, but during the rut, all bets are off. I've seen bull moose come charging in at 2 PM when they catch wind of a cow call. We use a combination of calling techniques depending on the time of season – cow calls during early season, aggressive bull grunts during peak rut, and subtle feeding sounds when they're being pressured. The key here is patience and reading the sign. Fresh rubs, tracks in the mud around water sources, and droppings tell the whole story if you know how to interpret them. Most of our successful hunters spend their first few days learning to move quietly through the bush and understanding how moose use this particular landscape.
Target Game Breakdown
Moose are the undisputed kings of the northern forest, and hunting them in Ontario is as good as it gets anywhere in North America. Bulls can tip the scales at over 1,500 pounds, with antler spreads reaching 60 inches or more on mature animals. These giants are most active during the September rut when testosterone levels peak and bulls become aggressive, vocal, and somewhat predictable in their movements. The rut typically runs from mid-September through early October, making it the prime window for bull hunting. During this time, bulls will respond to calls, travel more during daylight hours, and make mistakes they wouldn't normally make. Cow moose, while smaller at 800-1,000 pounds, are incredibly smart and represent excellent table fare. They're more cautious than bulls, especially when they have calves, but they follow predictable feeding patterns around wetlands and clearings. What makes moose hunting so addictive is the combination of their massive size, surprising stealth for such large animals, and the fact that when you finally get a shot opportunity, everything happens fast. One minute you're glassing an empty meadow, the next minute a bull appears like a ghost and gives you maybe thirty seconds to make your move. The meat yield from a moose is substantial – you're looking at 400-600 pounds of processed meat from a good-sized animal, making this hunt as practical as it is challenging.
Book Your Next Tag
If you're serious about moose hunting and tired of cramped weekend hunts that barely give you time to figure out the area, these extended packages are worth every penny. The Ontario wilderness doesn't give up its secrets easily, and having 8-12 nights to really hunt properly makes all the difference between going home with stories and going home with meat in the cooler. Our cabin accommodations mean you'll actually get good sleep between hunts, and the expert guiding takes the guesswork out of where to focus your efforts.
