HCU HUNTERS 100% SUCCESS
4 OR 5 SIGHTINGS PER NIGHT
The outfitter has 16 permits per year and can
be distributed between spring and fall. Success has been basically
the same, so it is just a preference as to when the hunter wants to
come. Due to the slow economy he hasn’t taken many hunters the
past 3 years. In 2011 he only had 4 hunters and in the spring of
2010 he had 2 hunters and the best bear they took weighed in just shy of
300 pounds. This hunter scored on the fifth evening and passed on
39 bears before taking this one. In the fall he had 2 hunters and
the best bear went 266 pounds and the hunter saw 37 in 4 evenings.
Bears typically average in the 225 to 250 pound class, but it is not
uncommon for them to take bears over 400 pounds. Normally about
50% of the hunters are archers.
6-day hunt is $2,500 and includes the 6% HST tax, but hunters pay
for a $320 license. House accommodations in Hodgson, meals and airport
pickup in Winnipeg is included. Spring hunts are
mid-May into early June and fall is the first 2 weeks of September.
