You might want to be careful with the area your going to be hunting in, not beeing from Ontario may cause a problem for you. Correct me if I'm wrong but allot of Wildlife Managent Units around Thunder Bay do not have a Non resident deer season. Sorry

No...nothing to worry about there .....I actually won't be hunting ....well i guess won't be shooting ...I will be the ride along muscle to the operation....my father-in-law has the tag and will be doing the shooting ......I will be just going along with him ....buut since he hasn't done much deer hunting I wanted to give him/ us the best chance of running into some deer....so again ...any tips would be awesome....

thanks

Hi Clu 82.

I don't think you'll have a problem finding deer. There are many of them here now. I see them every day now.

Ask property owners in the Slate River valley for permission to hunt. Some will allow you if you ask.
