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.
Camp Options
We now offer two camp options for our spring black bear hunts.
Trappers Camp
This camp is located along the Firebag River adjacent to a trappers
compound. This camp is kept small with only two hunters per week.
The numerous, well established baits will be hunted by ATV's and
a jet boat. Experience a very personalized hunt combining the trapping
folklore in a remote setting. Enjoy this nature outing with our
guide and local trapper who will share his many experiences and
knowledge with you. This will be a truly memorable experience. Your
camera is a must!
Remote Fly in Camp
This camp is located about 30 minutes from Ft. McMurray accessible
by float plane. Our hunters will fly into this camp about mid morning
on Sunday and return to Ft. McMurray the following Sunday. This
will allow the hunters 7 evenings to hunt if they choose, plenty
of time to look over those bears and outsmart the big ones.
This remote camp provides a true wilderness experience located in
prime black bear habitat. Much of this area has never been hunted
before. The bait sites will be accessed by 4-wheelers and argos.
If you would like to hunt in a 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. We encourage you to act quickly.
Spot & Stalk Bear Hunting
We also offer spot and stalk black bear hunts through Jody's Guiding
Service. Jody has been providing the wilderness moose hunts with
a very high success rate and has also enjoyed high success with
the black bear hunts. Several record book bears have been taken
including some B&C trophies along with color phases. This is
a two bear area with a high wolf population. Wolves can be combined
with these bear hunts. This hunt is located about 2-3 hours northwest
of Edmonton, Alberta. The hunters will stay in a holiday type trailer
with many conveniences. The hunt will be mainly by driving the many
oil company roads and pipelines in the area with truck and ATV's.
Glassing prime feeding areas has been another successful tactic.
After the selected trophy has been identified, the hunter and guide
will attempt to stalk within comfortable shooting distances. The
hunters generally have numerous bear sitings on this hunt, which
gives them plenty of opportunity to select the bears of their choice.
