Islands and Bush Hunts

   Long before the great turnaround in the deer herds south of the Canadian border, this was the area known as the place to go if you were going to bag a big Canada deer with heavy racks. And you know what? It still is! But if you're looking for a fenced-in hunt like you'd get elsewhere, forget it. This is still and will always be the untamed north country. There are no sections quartered off, no roads every ¼ mile. Just a lot of great forested hunting land.

   We are hunting on over 50 square miles of government land. Hunts are done on they many islands and peninsulas that are on our lake and the surrounding big bush and logging areas. To grasp the tremendous mass of area we are hunting, you should first know this. The lake has over one million surface acres of water. Over 14,684 islands, more than 65,000 miles of shore line. Fact is, we need not ever hunt the same island or peninsula more than once. Providing every group that hunts with us, fresh untouched or previously disturbed trophy white tail opportunities.

   We take only a limited amount of hunters each year, helping to insure your success!...

   Northwestern Ontario has consistently and will continue to produce heavier bodied ( the largest body size in north America ) and large racked deer. They are plentiful here. Racks ranging from 10 to 20 points are not uncommon. Field dressed, these deer are weighing from 225 to 300 lbs. average 255lb. The deer range from 130's to mid 170's typical, 165 to 250 non- typical.

     Consistently, harvesting a good 60% on an average year to a high of 75% success rate or better on a great year! These are 100% fair chase hunts.

   Were are uniquely situated. Lecuyer's Canada Lodge is smack dab in the middle of the 6 best hunting zones for Ontario deer. These zones hold the highest concentration of deer. One of these zones has also been designated bow and muzzle loader exclusively and has been that way for several years. Lots of these deer have never seen man their whole life. Within minutes from the lodge you can be hunting that trophy buck you've always dreamt about.

   Ontario hosts the largest population of Canada whitetail deer!... (2004 stats)

   We have a mix of terrain - from high rocky, heavily treed ground to low swampy areas and beaver ponds. There are over 1 million acres of boreal forest surrounding undoubtedly the finest forage, cover and protection that make for bigger, older deer. This is the best place for reclusive old bucks to get away from the hunting pressure. This is not a hunt for the weak or timid. This is perhaps the finest, true trophy white tail hunt left in north America. You must be in relatively good shape, as you may expect to walk 1/2 - 1.5 miles a day. You may also harvest a timber wolf for an additional charge.

   Less than 10 % of mature bucks in this area are harvested by hunters!... average age of deer harvested, 4.5 - 7.5 years of age. More mature bucks here, are killed by timber wolves and the winters that are so hard on old bucks!...


   Our hunts run 5 days and are buck only. Lecuyer's Canada Lodge employs the finest qualified, most highly skilled guides available anywhere. These men love to hunt and love being in the bush. They respect it, gives back to them employment and food for the long, cold winters. They'll employ for you all their secrets and techniques - all of the knowledge passed on to them from their fathers, whose only store back then was Mother Nature's, and for the most part, still is.

   We hunt peak rut times only, and after all foliage is off the under brush !...
All hunting areas have been pre scouted, to help insure a successful hunt!...

   Here we use the three basic styles of deer hunts . . . tree stands, stalking and ground blinds. The methods vary with the area your hunting, size of your party, weapons, weather, time of day, etc. This place has long been known by the few who were not afraid to venture forth as the place to bag BIG deer. Just ask around . . . talk to any old-timers who were here. Contact us now to get started on your Canadian trophy deer hunt. Put the odds in your favor, be one of the few to bag a true Northwood's Canada buck.
