Carpenter Lake Cabins is a comfortable base for your deer-hunting expedition. The hunt begins with quality housekeeping accommodations from which hunters can emanate for any of several types of hunts. For the casual hunter, the Carpenter Lake area has a large network of roads and tracks on public land that can be driven by truck or ATV in search of deer. You can see many of these roads on the accompanying recreational map. We provide guidance as to which of the roads in the area are best for encountering deer.

For those who like to hike, the area has many tracks and areas of open hardwood forest through which either solo hunters or groups of hunters can trek. We scout perspective hunting areas early in the fall and can provide guidance on good places to hunt.

For the serious hunter, we maintain several tree stands on private land that are exclusively for the use of our guests. Most tree stands overlook open areas in hardwood forests where deer feeders are established in the summer to attract deer. The deer feeders are restocked and maintained until the advent of hunting season.

We provide maps and tips on good hunting techniques and strategies and will help to transport your game out of the bush. Your overall success at hunting will depend partly on the deer population that varies on an annual basis. Please contact us for an assessment of the current deer population and hunting prospects. Brose through Fish and Wildlife in (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. Look for the Non-Resident Firearm Declaration Form CAFC 909 at www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca or at customs offices.
