Bear Hunting

Spring black bear hunting starts in mid May and runs until mid June, when their coats are in prime condition. The bears range in size from 6' to 7'. Losing up to 1/3 of their body weight over the winter, these bears can still weigh as much as 400 lbs. Success on the spring bear hunts is 100%. A second bear can be taken for a harvest fee.

In the spring the bears can be seen feeding on the fresh green grass in the various logging blocks and roads of Northern BC . It is these clear cuts that green up first in spring. The hunts are done from a pick-up or by walking. It is not uncommon to see 10 to 15 bears on your 6-day hunt.

Sustut River black bear hunting

Canada black bear huntingThe Sustut River is only accessed by airplane. Once there we hunt by boat, pick-up truck and from our personal railway scooter. There is no outside road access as the local logging operation transports their logs out by railway. From here you can have your own private hunting roads with no other hunters around. There is a small air charter fee of $500 attached to this hunt. We call this our "Planes, Trains and Automobile Hunt".
