Our hunting territory is black bear territory!

Our hunting territory has one of the most productive black bear habitats in British Columbia.

In 1999, the BC government commissioned a study to identify the location of high quality habitats that are rich in bear food and other ecological requirements. Several parts of our territory received the highest rating for its ability to support black and grizzly bears

We consistently achieve 90+% success rate on these bruins, with a good percentage of cinnamon and other color phase bears. You are allowed to take 2 bears on this hunt.

We hunt by spot and stalk method and occasionally use predator calls. We use horses and ATVs to access a number of drainages and avalanche areas.

In the spring, we hunt alpine grass slides that have been cleared by avalanches in the winter and sprout tender grass in the spring. The bears, fresh out of their winter dens, aggressively seek out this nutrient rich food. Some days, you can view up to 10 bears per day! Stalking a big black bear makes for a very exciting hunt.

With moderate weather, snowcapped mountains and sounds of spring, this is a beautiful time to be in the mountains — and a great cure-all for the pangs of withdrawal suffered at the end of the previous year's fall's hunt. And with long days, our clients generally like to hunt early morning and evening, and rest or go fishing during the day.

In the fall, you can hunt bear by itself, or in combination with Elk, Moose, Deer, or Mountain Goat.
