Good morning to you sir, I'm hoping the week was a good one for you and this finds you well.
If you've not done so already, I'd recommend giving the top thread in this section a good read, as "Planning a hunt in Canada" has proven to be quite helpful for a lot of visiting hunters here over the years.
As noted already, there's no baiting allowed in BC, so hunts are spot and stalk - mostly the stalk will be driving logging cut blocks in a pickup and doing lots and lots of glassing.
There's bigger bears on Vancouver Island as a general rule, but hunts there cost a bit more I believe.
Also as previously mentioned, there's no trick to find and shoot a bear most springs in most of the province - we have no shortage.
If you do come and you're in the northern part of the province, ask about wolves at that time of year too as that might be another thing you could hunt.
Please do your research and call the references provided by the outfitter in question - absolutely call hunters who killed animals and those who did not.
All outfitters and guides are not created equally.....
Bring a good camera as there's almost nowhere in BC that isn't breathtakingly gorgeous. Yes I'm biased, but then again that's why we moved here and continued to stay here despite some economic hurdles over the year.
If I can answer specific questions I'll do my best to point you in the direction of an answer. Give me a shout here or via PM.
Good luck on your hunt and all the best to you this fall.
Dwayne
PS;
Small Okanagan blackie;
Hope Priceton highway bear - maybe 5'2" ish;
Now we're gettin' somewhere - notice the double chin, small ears and lack of ground clearance.
Refrigerator that sprouted legs - good black bear in anyone's books I'd say. Sorry that's as close as I could get without spoiling his breakfast on kinnikinnick. I was hoping for bull elk that morning when we bumped into each other.
