Bob Lynn Than you, I definitely won't forget it!

[@anonymoususer3212]

Excellent hunt!

[@bowhuntingfiend7098]

Solid work! Looks like a great place to unwind and enjoy the process of hunting.

[@MichiganGoneWild]

the bowhunting_fiend Yes it is. Beautiful country!

[@draganarc0131]

Nice buck. I got one very similar last year. FYI, check the Ontario regs, we’re required to wear orange head dress as well and the back pack isn’t allowed to cover your vest like that. Save yourself a fine.

[@kentuuri8272]

Congrats on the classic Northwestern Ontario heavy massed chocolate racked swamp buck!

[@terrydummitt]

wow that's amazing...congrats to you guys.. yes ontario is great!! love it!!

[@CampRipleyLF]

Do you have any resources you could provide to plan a hunt like this? I live in MN and have wanted to do this for years but I have no idea on where to start. From island picking to license/permits, etc. btw, great video!

[@LUNGBUSTERLUNGBUSTER]

I did a D.Y.I. hunt last year in the Dead Stream Swamp in Houghton Lk. for Black Bear and it was the same senerio, got plot maps, arieal photos, picked a spot, and my buddy with the tag killed a 285 lb'er! The RUSH after the harvest was INDESCRIBALE! Congrat on a GREAT D.Y.I. BUCK!

I'm a Canadian new gun owner who just got his hunting license last year. Your video is inspiring. A ten-pointer? Magnificent!

[@jchouthere816]

The best hunts are the one's that aren't planned for. You guys have done the impossible possible.

[@TonchyShultz]

Very good video from HUNTING , amazing nature and everything are for woow.. Thx. and best regards from AB. Canada ✌🍁💕🦌🐺🐻🍸🍁👌

[@chuckneidhoefer9571]

A beautiful spot and great results. Leaving for Ontario on 10 days.

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Chuck Neidhoefer Best of luck! It's a blast!

[@keithsage7258]

Chuck I hope you had a great season and filled it with a buck that kicked your butt pulling it out of the woods. 12 points rule.

[@Call0fDutyGameplayz]

Good to see others getting just as excited over these Ontario public land brutes. Congrats man! Btw check out south eastern ontario for your next adventure. Racks like Ohio but still the massive bodies!

[@shandonmiller06]

Brandon Buckley what’s the nearest city you hunt near?

[@DeathB4Dish0n0r]

Where are you talking about? I hunt near ottawa

[@samp3087]

Another excellent video! That was a brave undertaking, to be successful is really an accomplishment. I heard the herd was down there from a bad winter a few years back, is it back to normal these days?

[@MichiganGoneWild]

sam p It was the first time I had been there but from talking to locals it seemed as if the numbers were still declining, perhaps not as rapidly as years previous though. I'm hoping they make a comeback soon because I'd love to go back!

[@Call0fDutyGameplayz]

Winters have been rather mild deer population in MOST areas is thriving, however EHD was found in two deer in windsor area of Ontario this past year. Only time will tell.

[@termite122]

been going up there for 11 years now..me and my friend after sum phone calls got permission to hunt alfalfa fields up there.. alfalfa as far as the eye can see..easy hunting..flat ground nice weather and many many deer..in fact i never hunted a place with more 140 to 150in whitetails ever..its like hunting the milk river in montana for a 125in whitetail..we have doubled every single year coming home with 2 bucks..only last year was first year my buddy tagged out and i didnt..i watched a 170in buck everynite and held off for just him which didnt happen and all this is bowhunting as well..no gun hunting..we have seen an occasional 170 to 190in buck but other than a yearling it seems like every buck where we hunt is always in that 145 to 155 range..incredible place to hunt and as long as we have the permission every year we will be going every year..

[@pz1688]

Welcome but respect! Hopefully the area won't get overrun by hunters like what happened in Saskatchewan and now not even we Canadians can hunt Saskatchewan without going through an outfitter or get selected by a lottery type draw.

[@glennwallace4890]

How large was the island you were hunting (approximately)? Great hunt, excellent shot.

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Glenn Wallace Roughly 3 miles long and about a mile wide if I remember correctly. It doesn’t take much.

[@OG_Outdoorz]

As a fellow Michigander, I'd love to get more details, especially the logistics given Ontario's restrictions for Non-Canadians. Thanks

[@MichiganGoneWild]

This was in 2016 so I’m sure a lot has changed but I may do a video breaking it down. It’s definitely a trip I recommend

[@OG_Outdoorz]

Maybe pm me a few details. I understand non Canadians have to buy a tag and a service to do a hunt without a guide.

[@joshcrandle5374]

Thanks for sharing! I think this will be my out of state hunt for 2018. What dates did you go?

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Thanks for watching Josh! We hunted November 1st - 5th. Great trip and I highly recommend it!

[@joshcrandle5374]

Michigan Gone Wild thanks! Did your buddy also rattle his buck in? Any other big deer seen?

[@joshcrandle5374]

Michigan Gone Wild also, I am assuming you were in unit 7B? Their regulations are confusing as hell and want to make sure I Know the camping details.

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Sorry for the late reply. We had to get camping permits for the area. You can only buy them online so make sure you do it ahead of time.

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Yes he rattled in his buck as well. Along with another than he was unable to get a shot on.

[@gregkerr725]

Awesome hunt....and what hard work..............but it paid off! How did ya'll communicate?...radio?

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Greg Kerr We did not use any form of communication. We were hunting is close proximity to each other and we all knew the area each of us were hunting.

[@Rainy78]

I live in Elliot Lake, Northern Ontario! Where were you guys roughly? Also going for my hunting license next weekend! Im so stoked to get started! Nice buck! Loved your reaction hahaha Thanks for sharing the video! 😀

[@m4nap4rt20]

Isn't Elliot Lake SE Ontario? NW Ontario is the Severn River . . .

[@Rainy78]

@@m4nap4rt20 Meant to put Northern, my bad. Thanks 👍

[@keithsage7258]

As a kid I grew up in this area and killed a lot of deer..you will find lots of sheds and in my own opinion of buck doe ratio is one buck to four does. Some days are better, I love the cold snap and Crown land is better than private per the number of hunters..I have hunted Crown land and always killed Big bucks,Bring a compass you will need one and hunt edges. You WILL!! see bucks . Some old ones with small racks, they die of old age here, no BS.. Imagine an area half the size of Michigan with less than 5000 hunters (bow/rifle). You may never hear a gun shot or see a hunter.. There are lots of wall hangers here. 7-18-18.

[@kevinross4731]

Hi Keith Can you dm me plz on fb messenger (Nivek Russ)

[@clitoralrosary9474]

I wish I could recall where I read the article, anyhow about 2 years back I read an article on a survey that was conducted measuring deer weights across every state & province. The result was that Ontario, despite not contributing too many B&C bucks, had the heaviest average whitetails in the world. I wasn't too surprised considering the heaviest buck ever harvested was in the Kenora district 1977. 431 pounds. Glad you guys got a meaty deer and enjoyed Ontario!

[@terryporche8745]

Great job.

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Terry Porche Thank you very much

What part of Michigan do u hunt in

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Teagan Lawrence Vlogs/Gaming everywhere really but mostly the northern lower peninsula.

[@keithsage7258]

Atlanta , Pelston..

[@trevorfuray1317]

You live in Gaylord?

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Yes, the Gaylord area

[@peterhrkal8165]

awesome deer. Don't you need a orange hat also?

[@DrMadScientist]

Nope. Hunting regulations in Ontario just states that during open deer season you need to have at least 400 sq. inches of blaze orange, and it needs to be a garment that wraps entirely around your body like his vest. Those pinnies with the elastic straps on the sides are a no-go.

[@NTycingProductions]

Yes he should have had a blast orange hat/cap on while hunting deer with a firearm in Ontario. "Waterfowl hunters, wild turkey hunters and archery hunters in archery-only areas are exempt from the hunter orange requirement. A hunter orange garment and head cover must be worn. The hunter orange garment must cover a minimum of 400 square inches (2,580 square cm) above the waist and be visible from all sides."

[@jessefoster2722]

Awesome Ontario buck, but come down to south ontario.

Lake of the Woods is nowhere near Northwestern Ontario. Just wanted to clarify - this is filmed in SW Ontario.

[@Whiskyfan519]

Lmao southwestern Ontario is Windsor area. Get your geography right bud. Northern Ontario is anything above the great lakes.

[@m4nap4rt20]

@@Whiskyfan519 that's odd, since the great lakes are in Southern Ontario going by land mass.

[@NTycingProductions]

Look up Lake of the Woods in the Rainy River district, it's in Northwestern Ontario!

[@berner]

Hey if any Ontario hunters want to tackle this one, I have a question: Is it legal to hire a hunter to hunt game for me in Ontario? I don't have a firearm or hunting license, but I'd still like to save money on buying meat so I figure why not do the next best thing?: Hire a hunter to do the work for me and get some elk or moose into my fridge and have meat for a while? Best way to save a buck is to hunt a buck, right?

[@bryanbishop9563]

ITs really not that hard walking on Canadian Sheild covered in moss. Also, You need to dress Appropriately to the laws in Ontario, and that is you need to have an orange hat on as well. 'The hunter orange headcover may have: open mesh; a peak or brim colour other than hunter orange; a crest or logo which does not completely cover the hunter orange on the side where it is affixed. The headcover may not contain camouflage material.'
