Black Bear

Hunt BL140

SOUTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA
SPOT/STALK 2 BLACK BEAR $2500
SECOND BEAR ONLY $800
SPRING ONLY HUNT

The outfitter had 12 spring bear hunters in 2013 and all took home bears and the few that wanted a second bear took 2.

In the spring of 2012 all 8 bear hunters scored and only one hunter wanted a second bear and he took home two. Top bears squared out in the 6 1/ 2-foot class. The area has plenty of bears with a high color phase of about 45 percent.  This small family run outfit runs a high success spot and stalk black bear hunt in southern British Columbia. Baiting is not allowed in British Columbia so the main method of hunting is driving logging roads and glassing clear-cuts or watching feeding areas. If a hunter would like to experience hunting with hounds that is typically available, but most prefer spot and stalk.  7-day hunt includes nice house accommodations, meals and guiding for $2,500.  Another great feature of this hunt is you can hunt a second bear for only $800. Spring hunts run from May 1 to June 15. Hunters fly into Spokane, Washington and rent a car for the 2 and a half hour ride north just across the border, no expensive airline tickets or charter flights.  Hunting license and bear tag is around $400 plus 6 percent tax. Next available opening is in spring 2015. HCU’s Bob Wodzisz has hunted with this outfitter. Hunt BL140.
