Polar Bear hunts are conducted out of a northern village which has a high harvest quota. This area has proven to be one of the most successful areas in the Arctic for large Polar Bears. This quota, of course, is proportional to and reflects the local bear population.
In the far north there are two seasons: the "light" season from May to August, when the sun never sets, and the "dark" season from October to mid-February when the sun never rises. For 10 months of the year, the sea is frozen; break-up usually isn't complete until mid-August. Until then the sea ice is used as a highway for travel by snowmobile or dog team. There are no roads connecting Ellesmere Island to the rest of the world. Air travel is the only way in and out.
Hunting is still an important part of the Inuit lifestyle. Strictly regulated quota systems allow the residents to fill many of their needs by harvesting seals, walruses, narwhal and beluga whales, polar bears and musk-ox. Ecotourism is also developing as people come to see the spectacular northern wildlife found on the surrounding islands.
Along with high success rates and good trophy quality, this 12-day hunt in the Arctic is sure to be one of your most memorable. Along with that, the Inuit culture itself is an unforgettable experience.
Dates for these hunts run from mid-March to the end of May. Hunt dates allow for 12-days of hunting and run approximately a 15-16 day itinerary depending on airline schedules. Please inquire about available dates.
