Spring Black Bear Hunts
Black Bear Hunting on BC’s North West Coast
Our hunting grounds are renowned for producing some of the largest black bears in the region.
Pro Guides to Premier Bear Hunting
With annual harvests of bears exceeding 7.5 feet, our area’s combination of long growing seasons, an abundance of berries, and a high-protein diet of salmon in the fall contribute to the exceptional size of our black bears.
Situated in a vast guide territory, we also hunt Island bears, offering a truly diverse experience. Spring black bear hunting here is like no other—our unique rivers, fjords, and mountain slopes provide perfect feeding grounds for bears as they emerge from hibernation.
Expect an abundance of bears in the 6.5’-7’ range, with the occasional giant surpassing 7 feet. This is a prime opportunity to hunt trophy-class bears in some of the most stunning wilderness on the planet.
Spring Black Bear Hunts
Our area has a very good reputation for producing large black bears. Black bears in excess of 7 half feet have been harvested annually. The reason for such big black bears is simple! A combination of a long growing season, the abundance of berries, and a high protein diet of salmon which the black bears enjoy in the fall. We also have an area that produces Island bears. See Jim Zumbo’s article “Surfside Bruins” below.
Quality Guides
Our huge guide area supports many river systems. We hunt areas only accessible by jet boat. The scenery is breathtaking. Black bears concentrate on the mountain slopes and river banks feasting on the first available green grass after emerging from hibernation. The average black bear harvested is in the 6.5′-7′ range with the odd bear surpassing 7 feet, hair quality is excellent. Camps consist of cabins and wall tents. This is a quality hunt, expect to see many bears!
Black bear hunting in the spring is mostly done on the ocean shoreline, where bears concentrate on the first available green grass after emerging from hibernation.
We cruise the inlets and fjords in search of trophy black bears. They are often congregated on massive tidal grass flats, it is not uncommon to see 3-4 mature bears feeding in one place. This hunt is especially suited for hunters with limited physical abilities or for hunters who just want to relax and enjoy the comfort of a boat hunt. Salmon, king crab, and prawns are caught on a daily basis.
Quality Bears
Hunt the many different valleys accessible by truck and ATV. We hunt the logging cut blocks and mountain slopes. Our guide area has endless opportunities for this hunting method.
My neighbors on Vancouver Island hunt this same way with great results. Years of logging in this area have created a vast network of roads and great bear habitat.
The black bear population has exploded in this region with 7 of the top 10 black bears in B.C. taken right here on the north coast. We boast 100% opportunity on record bears. As with all our hunts, they are spot-and-stalk hunts. We do not use bait or dogs (Cali is a service dog).
