Black Bear Hunting

We are one of BC’s best bear-hunting destinations. We have incredible numbers of huge bears, both black and color phase. Our adult bears will run from the 6 to 7-foot range, with some giants reaching 8 feet and skulls going over 21 inches! The hides are typically thick and heavy, and the spring claws can be long enough to mistake them as a Grizzly’s.

We offer both spring and fall hunts, and they can be hunted as a single species or as part of a combination hunt. Our spring hunt has historically boasted a harvest rate of 100%, we know bears like no other outfit.

The method of hunting our bears is spot & stalk, and we have a two-bear limit. Hunting with an experienced guide will ensure that only the best of the best is considered. Clients can expect to look over 6-10 bears daily.

These hunts are great adult/youth hunts; our accomplished guides will ensure proper judging and the safety of the hunt.
