Hi , my wife is from the Bolton area and we have some thoughts of relocating there someday . I was just wondering , what the calling is like there and farther north?? What all do you call in and what fur quality ? And what are the laws in Canada for callers???? Just fishing for some info /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif......thanks
 
I used to live in North Bay, Ont.

Once you get that far north or further there really is no pressure...the winter quality of hides is great.....I saw more wolves than coyotes though.

It's been 20 years, so laws...can't help you.
I believe that that DTech rifle would have to stay in the USA though.

It's beautiful area with little to no hunting and fishing pressure. You can commonly hook fish with just a bare shiney brass hook...and hunting pressure is non-existent. In the 5 years I lived there I never saw another hunter in the woods...or bush as it is called there.

If the good old USA went south and I had to move to another country...I'd move there.....oh yeah...you think mosquitos are bad....LOL....you will have a new definition of bad...and the black flies will get you before you know you've been had.....leaches in the bogs, swamps and lakes can get fierce too.
 
Coyotes are Easterns with some good to marginal quality fur. Never anything like their western kin. Ontario has lots of coyotes but Southern Ontario also has alot of urban sprawl and country housing. Most woodlots are small and getting permission can be tough, mind you coyotes are a good way to get to know alot of landowners. Even people from the city who buy land in the country learn to dislike the coyote when their dog barks it`d head off at midnight when the coyotes are singing behind their house. Also very few people hunt coyotes in Ontario, I got lots of land that guys deer and turkey hunt on but I`m the only one who coyote hunts.
 
There's plenty of wide open farm fields that start 20 minutes drive or less north from Bolton. They stretch all the way to Barrie some 50 miles north and 100 miles east and west. No problem finding land to hunt. Just have to get away from the urban areas.

You only need an Ontario resident hunting license for small game to hunt predators. $13 bucks a year. For about 30 miles north of Bolton, you must use smaller than .280 caliber for all hunting. North of that, you can go bigger.

Fur quality on red foxes is good to excellent but coyotes here have coarse medium grade fur as noted in a previous post. Coyotes are plentiful but scarcely show themselves in daylight, red fox are more cooperative.
