Deer hunting is traditionally done by parties of hunters using rifles or bows. Some hunters (shooters) remain stationary at places affording a good view while other hunters (drivers or dogs) walk through areas of bush driving deer toward the shooters. The area also affords excellent opportunities for solo hunters using either bows or rifles. Solo hunting normally proceeds by initially exploring the area to find places frequented by deer. The solo hunter can then comb this area in search of game or remain motionless at a good locality and wait for deer to come into range. By remaining in tree stands approximately 16 feet above the ground, hunters are less easily detected by deer and have an increased chance of being approached by deer.

Carpenter Lake Cabins offers quality housekeeping accommodations for your hunting party. We scout prospective hunting areas and erect deer stands on private land prior to the hunting season. We provide maps and tips on good hunting techniques and strategies and will help to transport your game out of the bush.

The population of deer varies on an annual basis. Please contact us for an assessment of the current deer population and hunting prospects. Consult the Hunting Regulations Summary (www.mnr.gov.on.ca) for details including costs of hunting licenses for residents and non-residents, seasons and draws in Wildlife Management Unit 36. Non-resident hunters need to complete an application and pay a fee to bring their rifles into Canada.
