My three hunting buddies and I have booked a black bear hunt with fishing included in lower central Ontario for fall. August 18-25 to be exact. This is opening weekend for black bear in Ontario. We will be hunting mostly bait that will be started in mid June. The locals call this area sun set country if that rings a bell with anyone if not the closest town is Vermilion Bay. I am wondering if anyone has been hunting in or close to the area and if so share the pros and cons. I have hunted bear in Idaho before but I just really do not know what to expect. Any input on weather, bear population or advise would be helpful.
I have been told that the bears will not be large in the area and a five foot bear seems to be about what to expect.
