Hunt Description

British Columbia holds three of the top ten black bears in the SCI record book. And the area we hunt gave up the number 4 black bear.

These guided spring black bear hunts are spot and stalk hunts — no baiting here. Hunts are done on old logging cut blocks, south facing slopes, and along old logging trails. This time of year, being just out of their dens, the black bears are looking for grass to eat to help jump start their digestive systems.

The bear population is very high so you can expect a 100% success rate on an opportunity to take a black bear. In fact most likely you'll have a chance at multiple bears and for an additional fee you can take a second black bear.

At the successful conclusion of your hunt you can take it easy and relax at the lodge, site see on ATV's, or do some fishing. Or our outfitter can take you back to the airport.

Bowhunters are welcome and in fact our outfitter is an avid bow hunter himself.

Camp & Accommodations

You'll begin and end your stay at our outfitters lodge which consists of a large log building for dining and rest and relaxation, plus a log cabin and converted mobile home for sleeping. During the hunt you may stay at rustic cabins that are situated up and down the river, as well as rustic cabins at a couple of remote lakes.

Getting There

You fly into Fort Saint John airport in British Columbia, Canada where you will be met by your guide. From there you will drive 160 miles to the lodge where you will spend the night. The following morning you will head either straight to the river or to the cabins where you will begin your black bear hunt.
