Dates:

April – June (5 day hunts)

Hunt coastal black bear on Vancouver Island with one of the Island’s veteran guide outfitters. This hunt is a 5-day, spot-and-stalk hunting adventure on the wild west coast and mountains of Vancouver Island.

This outfitter offers spring and fall hunts from a 4,500 sq mile hunting concession. Hunters use 4x4s, boats, and hiking to explore the island looking for trophy black bears, escorted by an experienced guide who knows how to find and judge coastal black bears. Your license and tags will be secured and ready when you arrive.

Early spring hunts are day trips hunted along ocean shorelines and estuaries, and in low elevation green ups in logging slashes and abandoned roads. As the season warms up more and more bears leave hibernation and in late May the breeding season produces large boars chasing sows and fighting for domination! Over 90% of spring black bears are boars and most exceed 6’ square with some over 7’. Hunters can expect to see multiple bears a day.

Hunt fall black bears to experience the great natural spectacle of soaring eagles, bears, and spawning salmon. Hunters see multiple bears a day on the river banks fishing while salmon fight their way upstream to spawn. There is no equal to a coastal black bear hunt on the salmon rivers of Vancouver Island.

A second bear is available for a $500/day hunt fee and $2,500 harvest fee. Fall hunters can also take a Columbia blacktail deer on the same terms.

Spring hunts are hosted from the grand 6,000 square ft log lodge with private rooms and baths, and an executive chef. Breakfast and dinner are served at the lodge, lunch is in the field. Fall hunts are hosted from lodges and cabins scattered through the guide area.

This is a great 2:1 hunt for family, friends, and groups who want to spend time in the field hunting together. For hunters looking for a great coastal black bear, a 1:1 hunt gives the time and opportunity to chase a giant coastal black bear. Either way, you’re in for a memorable hunt and a fantastic time!
