Canadian Moose, Bear Tags Available
About that long wait; Wisconsin bear hunters can hunt bear in Canada every year and enjoy some great fishing too while waiting for their Wisconsin tags. Through some outfitters, like Sturgeon Lake Lodge in Ontario, which is often visited by OWO writer Dick Henske, (in fact right now he’s fishing Canada) moose tags are also available. At this writing, Sturgeon Lake Lodge manager Margaret Chambers informs OWO that one cow tag is still available for two hunters, and five bear tags remain. Margaret also sends the photos of the moose above and the bear below.
Last year, you may remember, that three generations of Wisconsin “Henske Hunters”; Dick, Steve, and Brendan, tagged two bears and narrowly missed a third when no sure kill shot presented itself. Connect with Sturgeon Lake Lodge website posted on our homepage for package prices and details on all that is included with your trip to Ontario. I can tell you that Henske will be returning in 2016, he claims, solely to enjoy the bear hunt and exceptional fishing. But we have a strong suspicion from his ongoing rhetoric that the biggest pull back to Sturgeon Lake Lodge just might be Margaret’s cooking.
