Service de Guide Ronald Henri





About
Pourvoirie du Lac Forant — Ron Henry's Guide Service — occupies an exclusive-rights territory of about 62 km² in the heart of Pontiac County, in the Outaouais, neighbouring the ZEC St-Patrice and the Coulonge and Noire rivers. Two main lakes, the Forant and the Resolin, ringed by several equally accessible small fish-bearing lakes, yield trophy-size lake trout and speckled trout as well as northern pike — aggressive feeders from spring through fall, and caught through the ice all winter; farther out in the county the operator will point you to trophy smallmouth and largemouth bass, rainbow trout and a few walleyes. On the hunting side, the territory offers moose on exclusive-right land — two hunters per animal, in the latter part of September, small game included — plus small game by the day. Ron Henry's bear camps, a full-time operation for more than 25 years, cater exclusively to bowhunters: 6-day hunts with active baits supplied, from mid-May to the end of June, with skinning on request, freezers and a walk-in cooler. White-tailed deer is hunted with a bow, fully self-guided, on the neighbouring public land at the end of September and beginning of October. You stay in an outpost cabin on an island or in a drive-in family cottage: 4 to 12 people, European plan only, with propane stove and lighting, wood stove and fridge, several units having an indoor shower and toilet. The outfitter also runs a shuttle and canoe-rental service on the Coulonge, Noire and Dumoine rivers — 'The Three Sisters' — plus wilderness camping, snowmobile and trapping expeditions, boat and motor rentals, sales of gasoline, ice and hunting and fishing licences, along with meat processing. Biking, canoeing, quad riding, berry picking in August and ecotourism round out the stay in a peaceful setting where only the sounds of nature break the silence.

Price on request — the rate sheet published as an image (/rates.html and /tarifs.html) explicitly states, for moose: 'Exclusive right land, boat & fishing rights included. Rates by request.' No amount appears anywhere on the site (zero money tokens in text across all 19 pages) and there is no booking engine to query. Genuinely quote-only; obtain the rate directly from the operator. The 'Ron Henry's Bear Camps' brochure (image on /bearcamp.html) gives the season: the hunt takes place in the latter part of September, two hunters are required to tag a moose (Quebec law, Zones 10 & 12), and small-game hunting is included at no extra cost. The territory is the roughly 62 km² exclusive-rights Lac Forant land.

$750 for 6 days, lodging included. Read from the rate-sheet image on /rates.html ('Bear: 750$ for 6 days') and cross-checked against /tarifs.html ('Ours: 750$ pour 6 jours') — identical figures. The sheet does not state whether the amount is per person or per group; interpreted as per person, consistent with the other lines on the sheet (fishing $60/day/person, small game $50/day) — to be confirmed with the operator. The 'Ron Henry's Bear Camps' brochure (the sole content of /bearcamp.html, published as an image) states that the bear camps cater to BOWHUNTERS ONLY (black-bear specialty), that the spring hunt begins in mid-May and runs to the end of June, and that these are 6-day hunts starting on Sunday. The operator supplies active baits; the hunter checks their own baits, brings their own tree stand and supplies their own transportation (pickup, 4x4 and ATV preferred). The operator protects sows with cubs and any bear under 100 lbs. The sheet is undated — rates to be confirmed.
- ✓ Lodging included
- ✓ Propane stove and lighting, wood stove, fridge or ice house
- ✓ Standard kitchen equipment, toilets, dock
- ✕ Food and beverages (European plan)
- ✕ Hunting licence
- ✕ Gasoline and ice
$50 per day, 2-day minimum, lodging included. Read from the rate-sheet image on /rates.html ('Small Game: 50$/day (minimum 2 days)') and cross-checked against /tarifs.html ('Pt. Gibiers: 50$ par jour (minimum 2 jrs)') — identical figures. The sheet names no specific species; the /hunting.html page says only 'moose, bear and small game'. The bear-camp brochure notes that small game is included at no extra cost for moose hunters. The hunting galleries (/hunting.html, /chasse.html) also show harvested coyotes — coyote has no slug in the vocabulary and is therefore not recorded in the targeted species. The sheet is undated — rates to be confirmed with the operator.
- ✓ Cabin rental (island outpost cabin or drive-in family cottage)
- ✓ Local knowledge from the operator
- ✕ Bowhunting only, fully self-guided on public land
- ✕ Guide, baits and tree stand
- ✕ Food and beverages (European plan)
- ✕ Hunting licence
No published rate for deer. The 'Ron Henry's Bear Camps' brochure (an image, the sole content of /bearcamp.html, reachable from the 'Ron Henry's Bear Camps' button on the homepage) advertises deer hunting under the 'Cabin rental with self-guided trips' heading: 'You will be hunting on your own on public land (approx. 1500 sq. Mi.) Bow season — two weeks at the end of September beginning of October.' It is therefore a self-guided bow hunt, on public land rather than on the operator's exclusive-rights territory, sold as a cabin rental. The rate sheet carries no 'deer' line; the only applicable figure is cabin rental only at $50/day, which the sheet does not explicitly tie to deer — priceFrom left null rather than inventing that link. Photos of harvested deer appear in the /hunting.html and /chasse.html galleries. Obtain the rate directly from the operator.

Read from the rate sheet published as an image on /rates.html ('Packages / Rates', images/rate_eng.jpg) and cross-checked against the French version /tarifs.html ('Forfaits / Prix', images/tarif_franc.jpg) — both sheets show identical figures. The sheet also mentions a 'long weekend of 3 days' without a separate rate. Species: the /fishing.html and /peche.html pages name lake trout, speckled trout (trophy size) and northern pike on the two main lakes, Forant and Resolin, plus several surrounding small lakes; the 'Ron Henry's Bear Camps' brochure (image on /bearcamp.html) adds, for self-guided fishing in Pontiac County, trophy smallmouth and largemouth bass, rainbow trout and 'a few walleyes' — the operator tells you where the hot spots are. European plan: you bring your own food. No taxes specified on the sheet. The sheet is undated (the site was last updated around 2009) — rates to be confirmed with the operator.

$50/day for cabin rental alone (no hunting or fishing package). Read from the rate-sheet image on /rates.html ('Cabin rental only: 50$/day') and cross-checked against /tarifs.html ('Location de chalet seulement: 50$/jour') — identical figures. The sheet adds 'special group rates by request'. Units hold 4 to 12 people, European plan only; the rate is interpreted as per unit. The bear-camp brochure presents this rental as a base for self-guided trips: fishing, deer or small-game hunting, 4-wheeling, snowmobiling, berry picking in August, prospecting, sightseeing and photography. The sheet is undated — rates to be confirmed with the operator.
- ✕ Canoe rental ($20/day)

'Canoers' section of the rate-sheet image (/rates.html and /tarifs.html, identical figures): wilderness camping $20/night, parking $5/day, shuttle $1/km.

These are per-day add-ons rather than a package; priceFrom is set from the boat rental. The site also lists hunting and fishing licence sales plus a freezer, a walk-in cooler and meat-processing service, with no published rate. The fuel prices date from the site (last updated around 2009) and are certainly stale — to be confirmed with the operator.
Prices are provided by the outfitter — check availability when booking.
