Are you counting down the days until the hunting season? So are we! Across Canada, hunting season is an exciting time to get out and explore the backcountry. While many of us have our tried and tested go-to hunting spots, it can be just as fun to get out and discover someplace new. Whether you are hunting for wild turkey in British Columbia, spring bear hunting in Ontario, or searching for moose found deep in the forests and swamps of Newfoundland, there is certainly no shortage of land to explore in our beautiful country. To help you get on track to hunt your next trophy, plan your next hunting trip, or just get out to explore the beautiful backcountry, we are excited to introduce our new Backroad Hunting TOPO Map series. Hunting Adventures Await Our large-format topographic hunting maps outline the most popular hunting areas in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick and beyond. To create these maps, our cartography team merges several of our classic Backroad TOPO maps together to highlight some of the main hunting areas across Canada. Printed on heavy-duty waterproof synthetic material, our Backroad Hunting TOPO maps can withstand all that Mother Nature throws at you, making them the perfect accessory to any hunting adventure. Large Format and Durable Printed on 24” by 37” paper, these maps are large, lightweight, and easy to read. With map scales starting as low as 1:50,000, but typically in the 1:100,000 scale range, our industry-leading shaded relief and contour lines are even clearer than they appear in our Backroad Mapbooks. Unique to the Backroad Hunting TOPO Map series, the maps highlight the specific Hunting Management Unit, Zone, or Game Hunting Area they are focused on. These maps can come folded so they easily fit in your pocket or backpack, or as a Wall Map to be hung on a cabin wall or laid across a table to help plan your outing. Clearly Labelled Hunting Zones Our Backroad Hunting TOPO maps feature clearly defined Hunting or Wildlife Management Zones for each province in Canada. These include Wildlife Management Units (WMU) in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario, Wildlife Management Zones (WMZ) in New Brunswick and Saskatchewan, and Game Hunting Areas (GHA) in Manitoba, Deer and Moose Management Zones (DMZ & MMZ) in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, and much more. Since rules and seasons can change from one Unit, Zone, or Area to the next, knowing what zone you are in is important for a hassle-free hunt. We also highlight Crown Land and private land, to aid in trip planning and making your way to your chosen hunting spot.

We know that the best hunting areas are usually found deep in the bush, which is why our Backroad Hunting TOPO maps feature the most extensive road coverage of any recreation or topographic map available on the market. To get you even closer to that trophy animal, our Backroad Hunting TOPO maps contain thousands of kilometres of hiking, ATVing, and snowmobiling trails, as well as paddling routes complete with portages and clearly marked trailheads. Whether you are still hunting a whitetail or setting up a bird blind, these maps will get you exactly where you need to go.
