People who report seeing no hunting culture at all in their regions may be having a bit of selection bias.
Sure, it might be less than in many parts of the States and even in southern Ontario.
Or perhaps you're going in the "right" direction for hunters in the U.S. (I-75 N going to the UP is a prime route) but not the right one in Canada. Tryh Highway 400 in the northern suburbs of Toronto going north in the fall for example.

The Bass Pro Shop under construction in Metro Vancouver will be 145,000 square feet, about 13,000 bigger than Vaughn. Absurdly big by Vancouver standards, even out in Tsawassen, and still only half the size of some of the US stores.
My brother is a CBSA officer at the west coast US border and says a lot of Americans come up to hunt and fish. It's a big part of the tourism industry. But most rural Canadian men I know are into it.
