Archery Hunting in September for Moose and Bear

Moose
Here at Oak Lake Lodge, we've written blogs all year about how our fly-in fishing vacations create some of the most memorable moments you'll have when traveling. 

Those of you who've already enjoyed the astounding and pristine nature around us know just how outstanding (and addicting) this area is. No doubt you've passed the word on to others about us, and we hope you'll come back soon as well.

There isn't any better time than in September when the fall foliage begins to turn color, plus hunting season begins. If you had an emotional high with our amazing fishing adventures here on Oak Lake, you're in for even more fun and the unexpected with hunting in the nearby wilderness.

This is the time of year when hunting for black bear and moose become a popular pastime. It gives an opportunity for many of our visitors to learn about endemic wildlife and how bear and moose get hunted as part of an annual process that's been around for hundreds of years.

Even if you've never hunted before, we want you to get an organic feel for it as part of nature's cycles. Black bear and moose are so prevalent in the area, and you'll sometimes see them wander into the grounds close to our lodge. Hunting, however, takes place strictly in the woods so any shooting happens in a safe zone.

Let's take a look at what you'll need on your hunting trip if you decide to take this on this September. As with our fishing, guides will help make the most of your experience if you're hunting here for the first time.

Getting Prepared

If you think you won't have time to acquire a hunting license before visiting us, then you can easily get one at our lodge once you arrive.

Keep in mind that you need a U.S. hunting license first in order to obtain a license here in Canada.

You'll arrive at our lodge this September the same way you did during your fishing excursions earlier this year. 

All of the amazing amenities we provide in our lodge are still here in the fall as well as any other time of the year. It includes our amazing, freshly prepared meals all day long.

As with your fishing trips, though, you'll likely be spending most of the daytime out in the woods. While we provided specific equipment for your fishing last time, you'll be provided some special hunting tools to make sure the process gets done right. 

Most of all, our hunting guides are here once again to make your hunting experience one you'll never forget.

Hunting Guides

If you experienced one of our fishing guides last time you were here, you know how one-of-a-kind they are. 

The stories they tell are beyond belief in how they've grown up in this environment and their interactions with nature.

It's no different with their past hunting experiences. They live and breathe hunting in the wilderness and can teach you everything you need to know. 

Contact us here at Oak Lake Lodge so we can get you booked in advance for September hunting

There isn't any better time to visit us than in the fall when the chillier air will invigorate you as you learn about the ways of an expert hunter.

Our fly-in fishing vacations here at Oak Lake Lodge perpetually have a strong focus on fishing, though hunting becomes the dominant subject once fall arrives. If you've visited us only in the spring or summer, you're possibly not aware that we offer some of the best hunting experiences in the world during the month of September. One strong reason why you'll have a hunting experience like no other is because we limit the amount of hunters within the pristine wilderness surrounding our lodge. With all of the untouched land here, you have a wilderness area that's untainted by excessive human visitation or industry. It's truly one of the last places on earth where you can do fishing and hunting without fear of the wildlife being harmed by anything unnatural. Plus, if you've vacationed with us before, the above is likely the top reason why you've wanted to come visit us again as soon as possible. September is one of the best times of the year based on the invigorating fall weather and the chance to take on some new adventures. Hunting black bear and moose here is an experience you won't ever forget based on how we set up the environment. While we do take careful control of your hunting journey, the freedom of the unexpected is still there, which improves with a hunting guide.

When you vacation, finding access to food is always an issue, especially when you're traveling with a big family. Having many people along on your trip also means dealing with some picky eaters. When you ultimately can't find the food you want while traveling, it only makes your vacation more of a frustration than a relaxing experience. This is all the more reason why you should try our fly-in fishing vacation package here at Oak Lake Lodge. Meals are never a problem at our lodge because we prepare in advance to make your experience the best it can possibly be. You'll also appreciate our attention to something other vacation spots don't always do: Making sure you never go hungry while still making the food healthy. If the word "healthy" sounds like it shouldn't go on vacation, having a hearty meal already means eating well. You have to keep your energy level up to fully enjoy the pristine nature around you here at Oak Lake Lodge. While providing relaxation for you is our goal, you'll have the privacy of Oak Lake where all-day fishing excursions are available at your leisure. The same goes for archery hunting out in the wilderness that's untouched by excessive amounts of tourists or industries. Despite you vacationing in one of the most undisturbed natural locations on earth, being out in the great outdoors always works up an appetite. It's why we place special emphasis on creating meals we know you're going to love. This includes some of the amazing and large fish you'll catch in Oak Lake that you can enjoy as part of a shore lunch. Take a look at what kind of meals you'll experience for every meal of the day, including the ability to snack when you want to.

When you hear the term "fly-in fishing", no doubt you immediately picture thoughts of a hideaway vacation. While accurate, you've perhaps created a new definition of what a hideaway vacation is. You've possibly become overly cynical about the term because so many hideaway vacations your family visited in the past didn't live up to expectations. This was even more disappointing considering you paid a significant amount to commune with pristine nature and a promise of few tourists. In reality, there aren't any truly pristine tourist areas left in the world other than deserted islands and uninhabited jungles. Only a few places still exist on earth where you'll get some exceptions. We're fortunate to tell you that we provide exceptions here at Oak Lake Lodge thanks to long-standing stringent plans on limiting tourists. Here in Ontario, Canada, we still have some pristine natural environments left not invaded by excess tourism or industry. The land around our lodge received government approval to stay as pristine as you can get while still allowing limited visitors at a time. We only allow 32 people in every few weeks, so you're never experiencing excess tourists. You'll also find many other differences compared to other so-called hideaway vacations. Maybe you know about other secret locations where you can essentially get lost, at least in the off-season. Even if you can sometimes successfully escape crowds in those places, they don't offer the amenities we do. Let's take a look at some of those differences and why we frequently get singled out as one of the best vacation spots within Canada and the United States. We'll help you redefine what a hideaway vacation really is.

There isn't any question that food is a top concern when traveling on vacation. You've probably had more headaches over what to eat than anything else when visiting hideaway resorts, hotels, or even bed & breakfasts. What makes this all the more problematic is the kind of food you'll find in the places where you stay. If you're staying overseas, it sometimes means consuming exotic items you've never had before, which only brings elements of risk. While the above is exciting for some people, it can bring some dangers to your health. The last thing you want is food that could potentially make you sick in a foreign location where medical facilities aren't the greatest. Here at Oak Lake Lodge, we decided that food needed a strong focus on our vacation packages. We knew that when people travel to a vacation destination, they wanted food that's substantive, yet also not overly offbeat to a point where it could cause illness. Also, based on the response of our customers, we understood that most people enjoy having traditional food. Yes, traditional food gives you a sense of home, despite being served here in a remote location where pristine nature surrounds you. Let us show you the kind of traditional food you'll find for your fly-in fishing vacation. We'll show you why it's safer and even healthier than many other foods found in other tourist destinations.

When you decide to experience our fly-in fishing vacation package here at Oak Lake Lodge, you'll immediately notice the sense of peace and quiet you'll have in comparison to other vacations. We'll remind you that when you arrive here, you're a long way from any industry. This means miles and miles of natural surroundings and not the loud bustle of traffic. With our limitations of 32 people per visit, you also eliminate concern about excessive tourists. You won't find many vacation spots on earth that don't have an excess of tourists clogging streets, or even on lakes. This sense of peace might sound like we're too far away from providing outstanding amenities. Keep in mind we fly in and provide more amenities and supplies than most lodges do that exist away from civilization.

Experiencing autumn during your fly in fishing vacation here at Oak Lake Lodge is like no other nature experience available in the civilized world. Even if you already live near natural areas and love doing activities in the outdoors during the fall or winter, you probably have to experience an excessive amount of people in those places. Plus if it's a vacation spot, you probably work up a considerable appetite after excessive physical exercise. The problem with the two situations above is that being in nature with too many people already ruins any claims of the surroundings being unspoiled. At a vacation resort, it also means crowded restaurants, leaving you having to wait for food when you want food immediately. You won't find either of the above unfortunate scenarios here at Oak Lake Lodge. The nature here is truly pristine because there isn't any industry around for miles. We also have limitations on how many people we let in at a time, so getting food when you want it isn't a problem. Moreover, you'll have more food here than you can probably digest. Our meals are extremely hearty and generous in their servings. The question is how much of an appetite can you generate while visiting us? When you have cooler weather, invigorating fishing, and hunting all together, you can probably get as hungry as the black bears and moose are when they forage for food this fall.

You've probably heard of that term "vacation from the vacation" more than once and maybe only thought of it as facetious.
