Black Bear Hunts, Saskatchewan Bear Hunting, Bear Hunting Canada

With our spring black bear hunts running at 100% success since 1990 and our fall hunts at about 90-95% our bear hunts are high success hunts! Our unique location on the forest fringe gives us easy access to quality bear habitat in both the farmland and the forest. Our black bear hunting area in the forest is comprised of over 200 square miles in addition to the 100+ square miles of farmland we can hunt with permission of land owners. Lots of ground and lots of bears.

We have taken our share of monster bears with big fellows in the 400 LB range with over 20 inch skulls each year. Our heaviest bear to date was well over 500 lbs spring weight and the largest hide measured 7'6" from nose to tail. Though most of the bears we take are black approximately 1 in 5 is a colored bear. Our northern bears have beautiful coats and make a fine hunting trophy.

Most of our black bear hunts are baited hunts (though we do have some spot and stalk opportunities in the farmland in September). Our baits are put out over a month before the season starts and we generally run twice as many baits as our total # of hunters for any given season. This I feel is the reason for our high success rates and high quality hunting experience. For those who don't mind roughing it a bit we do use portable tent camps to hunt the more remote parts of our area thereby distributing the harvest throughout our operating area.

We use large portable treestands, API's Grandstand to be precise, and we can set them up for either rifle, muzzle-loader or archery hunters. Travel to the hunting area can be by boat, ATV or 4x4 vehicle.

Spring bear hunts are run in May with the fall hunts running from late August to late September. There is no draw for non-resident hunting licenses and I am able to buy the 30 licenses that I am allotted each year without any difficulty.

We also offer Bird/Bear combination hunts in September. These are a lot of fun and they keep our hunters very busy.

All in all we are an established, flexible, and quality conscious outfit with excellent bear hunting!!

Fishing can be added to both our spring and fall hunts at no extra cost.
