British Columbia

Spring & Fall Grizzly Bear Hunt

12 days - $12,500 - 1x1 (one hunter / one guide)

Hunting Season

May thru June, August thru October

Hunt Description

These guided spring and fall grizzly bear hunts are spot and stalk hunts — no baiting here. In the spring 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 grizzly bears are looking for grass to eat to help jump start their digestive systems. In the fall hunts are done along the rivers where the grizzly bears are fishing and around the berry patches.

Although the bear population is high and you can expect a 100% success rate on an opportunity to take a grizzly bear, the number of tags issued each year is extremely limited so book this hunt early.

A black bear is a great add on to this hunt as they are often spotted in the grass in the spring and in the berry patches in the fall. Whitetail Deer and Mule Deer are also possible add ons in the fall.

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.
