I agree with the old boys. I've never had the batteries die on my compass and paper maps, nor do I have problems getting a signal because of tree or cloud cover.
If you know exactly where you'll be going the 1:20,000 OBM's provide more detail than the standard 1:50,000 topo. 1:250,000 provides a good overview, but not enough detail if you're trying to plan where to hunt for the day.

I've always found this series very helpful.https://www.amazon.ca/Backroad-Mapbook-Northeastern-Russell-Mussio/dp/1926806883/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwxqX4BRBhEiwAYtJX7V8AvYy-siX-GRaIhcfOCP1UrYO1c9OWoiwgQ1Rq7KzP7VEVPk6-1xoCFs0QAvD_BwE&hvadid=384091285596&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9001350&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=789170789798283103&hvtargid=kwd-862061033172&hydadcr=1560_9636193&keywords=ontario+backroads+mapbook&qid=1594506425&sr=8-4&tag=googcana-20

OBMs were suspended about 15 yrs ago. I found links to some at the Queen's University library, but identifying which ones I wanted was a pointless PITA. You need to look at the locator index because the naming convention is logical except to the ordinary human.
Yep , lots of ATVers , campers and hunters have Backroads loaded on their GPS . I have the maps for all of my area . I put a road , a driveway into some property 6 years ago and it's on Backroads .
Good maps, but not always accurate or up to date, Almost ended up driving through a farmer's field in Northern Alberta where the map showed a road.

You can print your own map. https://www.ontario.ca/page/crown-land-use-policy-atlas
Some hiking/ adventure focused stores are able to custom print topos. I had that done for a trip I did last year at 1:25,000 scale from a Valhalla here in BC. If not you could try contacting a GIS outfit and they might be able to help you out as a side deal since they tend to have access to all of the mapping data for the areas near where they're based.

I've had luck with trakmaps. They run around $40 but they're custom made on the centre on your chosen coordinates
