Its story

Buck Lake Outfitters is a hunting establishment based in Sprucedale, in the heart of Ontario's Muskoka region, located 20 minutes from the town of Huntsville and near Algonquin Park.

The operation is based on a Bear Management Area (BMA) spanning over 350 square miles of territory consisting of dense forests, lakes, and wetlands. This vast area allows for a
