Experience the Tradition and Thrill at Cat Track Lodge
Overview
Moose hunting at Cat Track Lodge is a celebrated tradition, with typically high success rates and unforgettable wilderness experiences. Located on remote Lake Savant in Ontario's Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) 16B-an expansive area of 10,626 square kilometres of prime moose habitat-this fly-in destination offers hunters a unique opportunity to pursue moose in one of Canada's most diverse landscapes.
Why Lake Savant? Our location is truly remote, accessible only by air, and surrounded by a mosaic of marshes, weedy bays, highlands, lowlands, sandbars, mud flats, creeks, rivers, grassy bays, and extensive game trails. This varied terrain is ideal for moose, increasing hunters' odds of a successful hunt while providing a scenic backdrop for your adventure. Guests typically hunt from boats on the lake or set up in carefully chosen calling spots. Additionally, game trails and portages lead to neighbouring lakes, expanding your hunting grounds and enhancing your chances.
Hunting Opportunities
• We offer both non-resident and resident rifle tags for Bull, Cow, and Calf Moose. Please contact us for current availability.
• Experienced hunting guides are available on request. Please specify your interest in a guide when booking, and check in with us in advance to confirm availability.
Field Dressing & Meat Handling
Our team assists hunters with field dressing. Once your moose is prepared, the meat is flown out to a hanger cooler at the Rusty Myers airbase for proper storage. Hunters must bring their own cheesecloth; refer to our rate sheet for a complete list of recommended supplies.
About Moose in Northwestern Ontario
Our hunting season opens during the rut-an advantageous time when moose are particularly responsive to calling. The moose found here, known as Northwestern Moose, are a crossbreed of the smaller Eastern Moose and the larger Alaskan Moose. Bulls in our region can be impressive, with antler racks commonly ranging from 30 to 50 inches, and even larger specimens occasionally harvested.
The Lake Savant Experience
Beyond the hunt, Lake Savant and its surroundings offer stunning natural beauty and exceptional fishing opportunities, making for a truly pleasurable and memorable experience.
Recommended Equipment & Tips
• A .30 calibre rifle equipped with 150-grain bullets or larger is recommended for moose hunting.
• Shot placement is key-more important than the calibre of rifle. Feel free to contact us with any questions about gear or technique.
Hunter Orange Requirements
Ontario regulations require hunters to wear solid hunter-orange during rifle season. Minimum coverage is 200 square inches, typically achieved with a hunter-orange vest and hat. Please note: camouflage hunter orange does not qualify.
