Long before the great turnaround in the deer herds south of the Canadian border, this was the area known as the place to go if you were going to bag a big deer with heavy racks. And you know what? It still is! But if you're looking for a fenced-in hunt like you'd get elsewhere, forget it. This is still and will always be the untamed North Country. There are no sections quartered off, no roads every ¼ mile. Just a lot of great forested hunting land.
While hunting white tails with us in Dryden, your accommodation will be at our 5 star hunting lodge. We hunt large areas of land consisting of some private land and some crown land. We continue to feed the white tails right through the winter to insure a healthy population.
All our whitetail deer hunts are in the Dryden area. The white tail season is after the bear and moose seasons are finished. Dryden is an excellent area for trophy whitetail deer, in fact the new world record deer has been shot very close to our property. Many refer to it as the best kept whitetail secret in North America.
We take only a limited amount of hunters each year, helping to insure your success!
Northwestern Ontario has consistently and will continue to produce heavier bodied (the largest body size in North America ) and large racked deer. They are plentiful here.

Consistently, harvesting a good 70% on an average year to a high of 85 % success rate or better on a great year !
We are uniquely situated. Huber’s Lodge is smack dab in the middle of the 3 best hunting zones in Ontario. These zones hold the highest concentration of deer. One of these zones has also been designated bow and muzzle loader exclusively and has been that way for several years. Lots of these deer have never seen man their whole life. Within minutes from the lodge you can be hunting that trophy buck you've always dreamt about.
Did you know that Ontario hosts the second largest population of white tail deer in all of Canada!
We have a mix of terrain - from high rocky, heavily treed ground to low swampy areas and beaver ponds. There are over 1 million acres of boreal forest surrounding undoubtedly the finest forage, cover and protection that make for bigger, older deer. This is the best place for reclusive old bucks to get away from the hunting pressure. This is not a hunt for the weak or timid. This is perhaps the finest, true trophy white tail hunt left in North America. You must be in relatively good shape, as you may expect to walk 2 - 8 miles a day. You may also harvest a timber wolf at no extra charge on this hunt.
Less than 10 % of mature bucks in this area are harvested by hunters! average age of deer harvested, 6.5 - 7.5 years of age. More mature bucks here, are killed by timber wolves and the winters that are so hard on old bucks!
