Bear Hunting at Highwind Lake Camp
At Highwind we offer an affordable, quality black bear hunt for both rifle and bow hunters. We have a high success rate due to our guaranteed working baits and large Bear Management Area that is home to a healthy population of black bear. Our hunting area is surrounded by miles and acres of uninhabited land covered in the rugged forests and terrain of the Canadian Shield. Our hunters can head out right from their cabins with their quads or trucks to reach their bait sites which will have been pre-baited and working.
If you’re interested in fishing, the lake trout season is open until September 30th or you can try to catch a trophy northern or small mouth bass in the deep clear waters of Highwind lake or the many surrounding lakes in our area.

Highwind offers an affordable, self guided, white-tailed deer hunt in Northwestern Ontario. Our camp is located 10 miles from our nearest neighbor surrounded by miles and miles of abandoned logging roads. Hunters can head out right from their cabins on their quads or in their trucks to search for the perfect spot to watch for their trophy deer. Check out our rates on cabins, RV sites, or tenting sites and book your stay. If you are interested in hunting deer in the area we would be happy to help you find a suitable spot to hunt.
Non-residents (of Ontario) must work through the camp to have one licensed guide for each two hunters when hunting deer in our wildlife management unit (7B). This includes Canadian residents who do not live in Ontario. Non-residents are permitted to hunt with a valid license and tag and may only do so during the non-resident season. Deer tags are awarded based on availability for the year. Resident hunters wishing to hunt an antlerless deer (deer with no antlers or antlers both less than 7.5 cm (3”) long, which generally include adult female deer and fawns of both sexes) should apply to the antlerless deer draw. Visit the Government of Ontario’s non-residents hunting page for more information.
Please be aware we do not provide licenses for deer hunting or any hunting. These will need to be obtained through the Ontario Government’s License management system, visit Hunt & Fish Ontario to obtain a license and outdoors card or visit Ontario’s non-resident hunting web page for more information on permitting and licenses of non-residents.

The Highwind Lake area is abundant with all sorts of small game. Grouse are a common small game in the area with excellent seasonal hunting for the whole family.
We spend a lot of time in the bush and down the roads over the summer and we monitor grouse activity. We are happy to spend time with hunters to go over area maps and point them to known habitats. Relatively dry summers will produce a good clutch for Ruffed and Spruce Grouse allowing hunters the opportunity to put up many birds in the fall and fill their limits. Wet summers can be challenging for young chicks and many may not survive a season of heavy rains. Although conditions and bird populations vary year to year, dedicated bird hunters will enjoy excellent hunting and a great experience on the area trails and old roads. As with all our hunting packages, guests will enjoy hand crafted log cabins complete with a fully outfitted kitchen and with light housekeeping; or if desired may bring their campers and park it in one of our full service RV sites. While you’re out, enjoy some excellent fishing on one of our many lakes in the area.
Small game hunters in Ontario must hold valid licenses and permits for hunting and possession of a firearm. Visit Ontario’s web page on non-resident hunting for more information on permitting and licenses.
