Baited Black Bear Hunting In the Canadian Wilderness

Time to Emerge From Your Den!

By Jason Berger – Manager, WTA Outdoor Adventures

Over the past decade and a half, I’ve recommended fully guided hunting trips to thousands of sportsmen. I’ve heard it all, up-to and including, “I want to hunt black bear this spring, but I don’t want to do it over a bait-pile in Canada.”

 

My first question to this statement is always, “Why?”

 

Hunting black bear in the middle of nowhere Canada, over a strategically placed bait-pile – hard to beat. Seeing a big bruin finally appear through the Canadian bush, knowing he could be on your bait in a matter of seconds – COMPLETELY intense. I love it as much as anything in hunting.

 

The spring is the perfect time to hunt these amazing animals. The days are getting longer, the bears have just emerged from their dens and as June approaches the sows are coming into heat. Furthermore, ice-out is happening all over the Canadian Provinces making it the ideal time to try and hook a big pike before you head to your evening perch or ground blind.

 

As the bears are emerging from their dens, you should consider emerging from yours.

 

WTA has some of the very best, time tested, completely proven destinations in Canada. There is still plenty of availability to hunt baited black bears, this spring, in the Canadian wilderness with our very best outfitters. Give us a call today and a professional WTA Hunting Consultant can assist you with the ENTIRE booking processes – 1-800-346-8747.

Hunting Croatia: Europe’s Overlooked Paradise

Croatia may be best known for its thousand-plus Dalmatian islands and historic cities like Dubrovnik, but it’s far more than a sightseer’s paradise. This diverse country also ranks among the world’s premier hunting destinations—rivaling Spain and Africa in both variety and quality of game. From the lowlands along the Danube River where some of Europe’s largest red stags reside, to the rugged mountain ranges that harbor massive brown bears, to the coast where mouflon roam, Croatia offers hunters an incredible range of hunting opportunities. Croatia has long been one of WTA’s most popular destinations. And it just keeps getting better!

Here are some of the top choices, beginning in the north and stretching south to cover the full breadth of the country.

Win this World-Class Moose Hunt in British Columbia

Win this World-Class Moose Hunt in British Columbia

My Canadian moose hunt was the kind of trip I’ll tell my grandkids about. It’s everything I could have wanted in a moose hunting adventure: miles of unspoiled wilderness in British Columbia, prime moose habitat, and the best guide I’ve ever had. And the best part? Right now, you have a shot to win this world-class hunt for yourself.

Booking this hunt through Worldwide Trophy Adventures made planning easy. Their knowledgeable consultants guided me through each step of the process and helped me create a plan that fit my goals. For me, that meant making the marathon drive from Michigan to Northern BC so I could bring as much meat back with me as possible. It was a long but simple trip across North America, filled with black bearelk, and mule deer sightings. With WTA’s help, the border crossings went smoothly as well.

The camp was straight out of my boyhood imagination—remote, accessible only by bush plane and boat, and in the middle of tons of fresh sign: wolf, grizzly, and moose. Every day from camp we’d watch groups of mountain goats feeding in the peaks above us and drinking fresh water straight from a stream. The wall tents in the middle of the wilderness were comfortable and the food was fantastic.

The hunt itself was a lesson in patience, as we were early in the season. We set out on day hunts from camp each morning, climbing to higher elevation to glass into the valleys below for rutting trophy bulls. Warm weather kept movement slow initially (though we saw moose all week), but a change in the weather brought with it the action we had been anticipating. The much-needed cold and rainy snap set off the beginning of the rut.

I’ll never forget the moment when a large bull moose emerged in response to our calls. The landscape, the stalk, the shot—epic. A few moments later, I was standing awestruck over a giant bull moose. This was, by all accounts, a successful hunt.

Now it’s your turn. WTA is offering an incredible opportunity to walk in the same footsteps with a sweepstakes for this exact hunt for mature bull moose. It’s one of the best moose hunts in North America, filled with tons of quality animals and a value of $23,500.

You’ll share in the same rustic comforts of our wall tent camp and the camaraderie that comes after the day’s hunt. It’ll be a hunting trip you never forget.

Sweepstakes tickets are $35 and you can buy up to 10 tickets. With each dollar you spend, you earn Bonus Bucks which are valid for one year and can be cashed in on your next WTA adventure or applied to your next TAGS portfolio. But don’t delay. Enter now to secure your sweepstakes tickets before the sweepstakes closes on April 28, 2025.

This isn’t just any hunt—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime hunting experience in the Canadian wilderness. Get your tickets now.
