Black Bear Facts
- Ontario has black bear numbers unsurpassed anywhere in North America.
- We are located in the heart of Northwestern Ontario's Boreal Forest, which is home to the highest concentration of Black Bear anywhere. The Boreal Forests are very dense and thick, so our stands for archery are anywhere up to 20 yds.
- The rifle sights are under 50 yds. so if you have a scope on your rifle, make sure it is low power. Make sure your equipment is sighted in and ready to go, first shots have to count, very rarely will you get a second shot.
- Most wild male black bears weigh between 125 and 500 pounds, while females weigh between 90 and 300 pounds.
- Mating season in our area in in June, with the cubs being born in January or early February.
- The black bear is a magnificent animal with one of the most sensitive noses' in the wild. Black bears have a large brain compared to their size and are one of the most intelligent mammals.
- Their long term memory is excellent. Once they find the bait, they don't forget it.
- Black bears in this area hibernate generally from late October to late April, 7 months. They can also live anywhere from 20-30 years.
- The bear future depends on how well we manage our hunt, by not over harvesting, and on how well we understand and tolerate them.
Larry has an extensive range of carefully selected bear stands that he baits regularly. Stands will not be hunted unless they show frequent activity. Larry believes in managing the bear population for future seasons and does not overhunt stands. He has exceptional knowledge of bears and I swear he has developed a special bond with them... Larry loves his bears! Success is never guaranteed, however I have harvested a bear in each of my three consecutive seasons.
I can't wait for the next bear hunting season and opportunity to reminisce with other returning hunters... all part of the "Lochlomond family". For an exceptional bear hunting experience please contact Larry and Deb Hadenko."
