bears and wolves would be the other biggie, hence the need for a rifle.

You can't bring a firearm into Quetico period.
Crown Land you could for hunting purposes during the winter game season, but that would mean buying a Non-Residnet Hunting License and that's expensive just to bring a firearm for self-defense purposes.
Besides, bear hibernate in the winter, and wolves have plenty to eat in wild game and I don't think there has been a documented wolf/human attack in years anywhere near the Q/BW?
IF for someone's peace of mind you feel a need for a "weapon", get something like this. You could easily kill a wolve IF needed.
