Ontario Black Bear Hunting
Ontario has one of the largest black bear populations in North America. They are plentiful in the Ignace/Indian Lake area. Although the black bear is the smallest of the three bears species found in North America, those in this area average around 200 lbs., although 400 lb. black bears are not uncommon. There are also cinnamon bears in this area. Cinnamon bears are a subspecies of black bear, the most striking difference being its brown or red-brown fur, reminiscent of cinnamon - hence the name. These offer a rare trophy for the bear hunter. Either a rifle or a bow may be used to hunt bear.
A Canadian CITES export permit is no longer required for U.S. or Canadian resident bear hunters transporting their black bear in a fresh, frozen or salted condition back to the U.S. or through the U.S. en route to another part of Canada at the conclusion of their hunt. The black bear must be part of the hunter's accompanying baggage.
More information about black bear hunting regulations can be found at the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources website.
