Alberta Canada Black Bear Hunting
Guided Black Bear Bowhunts & Rifle Bear Hunts
We offer baited black bear hunts and
a two bear limit in prime black bear country. Baiting allows the hunter
a close encounter which is ideally suited for the archery and muzzleloader
hunter. Rifle hunters are also welcome. Alberta is renowned for its
large black bear population and colored bears. Many bears harvested
in Alberta over the past years have made the record books.
Black Bear Hunts:
A typical day starts with a hearty breakfast. We normally go to
the bait sites in the late afternoon. Should hunters want to hunt
in the morning or during the day, this can be easily arranged. We
mainly travel to bait sites on ATV's enabling us to access remote
sites inaccessible by other means. We generally hunt until dark
when the "big guys" come to the bait, which is between
10:30 and 11:00pm. The average male black bear will weigh 200-300lbs
and measures approximately 5'-6' nose to tail. The larger black
bears will weigh up to 600lbs and have a length up to 8'.
Baiting:
The best way to look over a good trophy bear is at close range.
Baits are set up for shots at 10-20 yards. All of our baits are
strategically placed in prime black bear habitat to attract a large
number of bears and of course very large bears. Baits are spread
over about 50 miles, ensuring we attract many bears to each site
and they are not over harvested. Recently we expanded into an adjacent
area that has not been baited before. All of our other baits are
well established and have multiple black bears on them.
We bait very aggressively at all of the bait sites often with several
55 gallon drums at each site. We provide a great variety of bait
types. After 40 years of baiting black bears we've found the bears
like a good smorgasbord and a good variety of fresh food. We also
use some of their natural foods like beavers and fish. We offer
hunters their choice of our many bait sites. You can sit on a different
bait each night if you choose. Many sites have large wooden platforms
and a ladder for easy access. These stands can easily accommodate
family members or hunting buddies who may want to video the action.
There isn't anything better than a large platform stand when a curious
bear decides to climb your tree and you may need to pepper spray
him at close range.
Spike Camp Option
For 2008 we are offering a remote spike camp in a new area that
has never been baited before. We set out two test baits in this
area for 2007 and Ralph and Vicky Cianciarulo hunted these sites.
They saw a good number of bears and harvested a blonde and a very
large chocolate brown bear. They are planning on returning in 2008
to hunt this new area and film for their TV show.
Our new spike camp will only accommodate 4 hunters per week. We
will hunt with 4 wheelers and argos in this new area. The hunt will
begin at main camp with a hearty meal and then 4 hunters and 2 guides
will travel about 3 hours to the spike camp. The hunters will hunt
for 5 days in this area and return back to main camp for their 6th
and final day of hunting if needed. The accommodations will be by
wall tents and meals will be prepared by the guides.
Our preliminary scouting indicates good bear sign in prime bear
habitat. We are anticipating good activity on the baits with some
good sized bears and some colored bears.
Since we have some extra costs to operate this remote area, we will
be charging an additional fee per hunter for this option. If you
would like to hunt in a remote virgin area over new baits, this
may be the hunt for you. It is anticipated that this hunt will fill
up fast since we have limited numbers so we encourage you to act
quickly.
Spot & Stalk Option
We now offer spot and stalk black bear hunts through Jody's Guiding
Services. Jody has been providing the wilderness moose hunts with
a very high success rate and has also enjoyed a high success with
the black bear hunts. Several record book bears have been taken
including some B & C trophies along with color phases.
Enjoy this nature outing with our
guide and local trapper who will share many of his experiences and
the area highlights with you. This will be a true memorial northern
experience. Bring a camera!
