British Columbia is home to the largest population of black bear, estimated at 150,000 black bears province wide. All hunting for Black Bear in the province of British Columbia has to be done by spotting the bear and stalking in for a shot. Baiting of Black Bears is illegal throughout the entire province of British Columbia.
Our hunting concession is located in the Northern coastal region of British Columbia. The landscape consists of sharply etched coastal mountains with pristine freshwater lakes and rivers. The famous Bulkley and Telkwa river systems run throughout our bear hunting area and are home to some of North America’s largest steelhead runs, providing an abundant food source for these massive bruins.
Our spring black bear hunts can be quite the adventure. You can expect to be on the move with your guide all day. Most of our bears can be spotted feeding on fresh growth along old abandoned logging roads, avalanche slides and cut blocks.
All of our spring bear hunts are spot and stalk, making for an exciting and active hunt! Physical requirements for this hunt are not high as most of the traveling is done by trucks and some ATV's. The average shot distances are 50-250 yards.

We handle all transportation to and from Smithers, the hunting area and camp is approximately 40 minutes southwest of the airport.
