Hunt Description

British Columbia holds three of the top ten black bears in the SCI record book

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 hunt takes place out of Francois Lake, or Collins Lake.

The bear population is very high so you can expect a 95% - 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.

Camp & Accommodations

You will be starting and ending your hunt at either our Base at Francois Lake or our semi remote Cabin at Collins Lake. At the base you will have a comfortable cabin with electricity, indoor toilet and shower, plus satellite TV, meals will be served at our dinning room. The semi remote location has wood heat, propane lights, cook stove, outdoor toilet facilities. Meals are served in the dinning part of the same facilities. In both locations beds with matteresses are provided. Hunters are required to bring their owe sleeping bags and pillows.

Getting There

You can fly from your place of residence to Vancouver British Columbia and then on to Smithers British Columbia. Myself or one of my staff will pick you up at the airport and transport you back to our Base at Francois Lake or our semi remote cabin at Collins Lake. The distance is about 80 miles to either location. You will over night and start your hunt the next morning.
