I too hunted NW Ontario in 07' and I have never seen so many hunters in all my life! I hunted the U.P. for 15 yrs. and never saw that many guys, hell you can hunt in close proximity to Chicago and have less pressure.

That said, there are some outfitters that operate in the guide only zones who care about thier long term and limit pressure on thier ground. Some of these such outfits consistently produce deer that rival anything in the world. WHEN I go back I will be with one of these guys.
