Unforgettable Ontario Hunting Moose, Bear & Small Game Hunts in Pristine Wilderness

Ontario Bear Hunting

Our fall bear hunt is a semi-guided package built around pre-baited, active stands with a very high success rate. Every hunter is guaranteed their own dedicated stand, positioned based on weapon type and shooting preference. Guides handle daily bait maintenance and are available for tracking and retrieval after harvest.

Evening hunts are the standard — you’re positioned two to three hours before sunset when bears are most active. That leaves your mornings free for fishing on Sandbar Lake, making this a true hunt-and-fish combination trip.

The area has produced exceptional trophy bears, including a 650-pound black bear harvested nearby. With reduced hunting pressure in recent years, the population of large, mature bears across our zones continues to build.

Ontario Moose Hunting

Moose hunts at Rousseau’s Landing are self-guided, housekeeping-style experiences that give your party full control over schedule, strategy, and pace. The landscape surrounding camp is classic Northwestern Ontario boreal forest — spruce, jack pine, birch, and poplar interspersed with the network of logging roads and fresh cutovers that moose thrive in.

Archery hunters arrive during the September rut when bulls are most responsive to calling. Rifle hunters take advantage of the October gun season. Camp is open through the end of October, with extended stays available weather permitting.

The multi-zone advantage is especially valuable for moose. Your party can apply for tags across WMU 15, 15A, 12, and 13 — significantly improving your odds of drawing through Ontario’s allocation system. WMU 15A is recognized as one of the province’s highest moose density units.

Rousseau’s Landing is more than a fishing camp.

From mid-August through the end of October, this property transforms into one of Northwestern Ontario’s most versatile hunting basecamps.

The same qualities that make it an exceptional fishing destination — the drive-to accessibility, the Provincial Park setting, the comfortable housekeeping cabins — serve hunters just as well.

Our location near Ignace on Highway 599 gives hunting parties access to four Wildlife Management Units (WMU 15A, 15B, 12, and 13) from a single basecamp.

That multi-zone advantage is rare. It means more tag application options, more territory to hunt, and more flexibility to adjust your strategy based on conditions in the field.

Whether you’re planning a fall bear hunt, applying for Ontario’s moose draw, or just looking to walk logging roads for grouse between hunts, our Moose Hunt FAQ and our Bear Hunt FAQ will point you in the right direction.

Grouse Hunting

The forests around Rousseau’s Landing are home to excellent populations of ruffed grouse and spruce grouse. They’re abundant along the logging roads and forest edges that surround camp — the same roads you’ll be driving on your way to moose or bear territory.

Grouse hunting requires no additional booking at Rousseau’s Landing.

Bring a shotgun and an Ontario small game license, and you can add it to your daily routine alongside your primary hunt.

It’s a great way to keep the whole group active in the field, and it adds variety to the trip without adding cost.

Why Hunters Choose This Basecamp

Rousseau’s Landing works as a hunting basecamp because the fundamentals are solid. You drive to camp, unload your gear once, and settle into a heated housekeeping cabin with a full kitchen, bathroom, and everything you need for a self-sufficient stay. The lodge has a walk-in freezer for meat storage, hanging poles for game processing, and a local butcher in Ignace who handles cutting and wrapping.

The property’s location inside Sandbar Provincial Park means controlled access, reduced outside traffic, and the quiet that serious hunters value. Yet the town of Ignace is only a five-minute drive away for groceries, gas, bait, licenses, and any supplies you need mid-trip.

Before You Head to Camp

A few essentials every hunter should keep in mind:

  • Hunter orange clothing is required by law during Ontario gun seasons.
  • Bring a safety suit or flotation gear if you’ll be travelling by boat in cold weather.
  • ThermaCELL or bug repellent is essential during September and early October.
  • Non-resident hunters need a valid passport, Ontario Outdoors Card, appropriate hunting license, and RCMP Firearms Declaration (Form 5589) if bringing firearms into Canada.
  • Wifi and cell service are very limited at camp. Plan accordingly — and enjoy the quiet.
