Guests can add a small game hunt onto basically any package with Air Ivanhoe.  Small game season (grouse and rabbits) starts September 15 and runs through our entire fall operating season (generally ending mid November).  There no additional costs or fees on our end.  You would however need to possess a valid small game hunting licence.  This licence can be purchased over the counter at Ivanhoe, or can be purchased online at  https://www2.on.wildlifelicense.com/start.php?lang=1

 

Please note that to purchase any hunting licence in Ontario, both residents and non-residents must first produce a copy of a previous hunting licence or proof of taking a hunter competency course.  After the initial hunting licence is purchased and credentials provided to the licence issuer, subsequent outdoors cards will be valid to purchase both fishing and hunting licences.

Current pricing for small games licences can be found at the following link              https://www.ontario.ca/page/hunting-licence-fees-ontario-residents

Guests can add a watefowl hunt onto basically any package with Air Ivanhoe.  Waterfowl season starts September 10 and runs through our entire fall operating season (generally we’re closing mid November).  There no additional costs or fees for Air Ivanhoe.  The hunter does need to possess a valid small game hunting licence as well as a duck stamp to enjoy this type of hunting.

The small game licence can be purchased online (https://www.ontario.ca/page/hunting-licence-fees-ontario-residents) or at our drive in lodge office.  Hunters must purchase a duck stamp at the post office.
They can also be purchased online at       https://www.permis-permits.ec.gc.ca/en/

One of our favorite fall adventures includes bears, wolves, grouse, waterfowl, and fishing.  The middle of September (Sept 15 starting) is a really interesting timeframe that appeals to many outdoorsmen looking for a huge variety of adventures that are possible during the same time.  We offer a 1 week bear hunting / wolf hunting combination trip where guests will either fish or hunt small game or waterfowl in the mornings (as well as after their big game hunts), and hunt wolf and bear in the afternoon.  We recommend one week at the minimum for all of our hunting trips (especially so for this big of a variety of animals and adventures).

We would recommend each hunter bringing a high power rifle, shotgun, and 22 to challenge himself when chasing grouse.  A few rods from lightweight perch and walleye to medium heavy for big pike would be ideal.  Temperatures are generally in the mid 70s (21 Celsius) during the days and 50’s in the evenings.  We have usually had one good frost by this time meaning that most of the mosquitos and black flies will be gone by this point.  It’s just a lovely time of the year with changing colours of leaves, mild temperatures, and more adventures than most outdoorsmen can dream of easily within your grasp with us at Air Ivanhoe.
