About This Hunt
The Black Bear is the most common bear in British Columbia, ranging from very far north, to the American border in the south. They range in color from all black to almost white. The most common is black, but brown is not uncommon.
In the spring the Bears are hungry and look for the first green grasses to start their digestion after hibernation. The best season for hunting Black Bear is in May, but we have harvested beautiful Black Bears during fall too.
We have many areas that have been logged, and the spring grass will start in these areas early. Perfect for hungry bears. We will spend lots of time watching those logged areas with binoculars as well as looking for tracks from the side-by-sides.
We stay at our main lodge, at remote cabins, tent camps or in spike camps, depending on how the hunt plays out, and where we have spotted the best Black bears.
No matter your physical capability, or whether you want to hunt by bow or rifle, we will adapt, and make your dreams for a great hunt come true.
You can combine your hunt for Mountain Goat with a hunt for Elk, Moose, and Black Bear.
If you need a break from hunting, we have very great fishing opportunities at the huge Williston Lake or at our many rivers, creeks, and lakes.
Join us for an unforgettable adventure!
