Hi Folks, Catfish Chris here with today’s Happy Camp Ontario update. Bear season 2014 concluded for Happy Camp hunters a couple of days ago! Happy Camp had a very successful season, with all hunters seeing bears, and many harvesting nice bears! During my baiting, I saw at least 6 sows with 2 cubs and 1 sow with one cub, so that should make for fantastic hunting in the future! That coupled with the hope that the logging to take place this winter possibly opening up new areas, has us excited for 2015 and beyond!
Speaking of excitement, spots are filling for the 2015 Bear hunt which opens August 15th. Most likely week one will be filled before the weeks end and possibly more. We plan on taking a total of 12 and no more than 4 hunters per week. If you reserve your 2015 hunt with deposit by the end of 2014, we will honor 2014 prices.
Fishing was a little on the slow side for the Young’s from Manistique last week, heavy wind, rain, cold and dropping water temps kept the fish scattered. When the wind did subside and make it tolerable, Nothern, Perch and some walleye were caught. Larry and Jeff took a break from Bear hunting and caught a nice mess of fish, including a 21″ beautiful walleye for Jeff from Amherst!
The woods near Happy Camp have become quiet, but soon the Moose hunters will be out in earnest! Happy Camp wishes all Moose Hunters a safe and successful hunt.
2015 reservations are starting to fill up, with some weeks already filled! As long as Mother nature does not throw a wrench into our spring next year, we plan on being open by early June!
Whatever time you choose to come to Happy Camp, it is a fantastic area to explore the Ontario Wilderness. On my travels back from Bear baiting recently, I was able to stop and check out a river along the way! While I did only catch 1 Brokkie about 13 inches, I lost one around 12 and another over 20 inches that would have been my personal best! I think if one is to explore with foot or canoe, you never know what you may stumble onto!
So with that I bid you a pleasant fall and Whatcha Waiting For, give us a shout and reserve your spot today at Happy Camp Ontario where you most likely will Catch the Good Life with Us!!
