Description
Coastal BC arguably has the largest population of black bears per square mile in North America. The mild climate provides the bears with a very long feeding season starting early in the spring and ending late in the fall on the salmon spawning rivers. Our area encompasses 2400 square miles on the southwest coast of BC. Much of the area is accessible only by boat or floatplane, making resident hunting pressure virtually non-existent. With abundant food and low hunting pressure, it's easy to see why coastal bears grow to such a large size. Bear hunting in the spring is done by boat cruising along the beaches and estuaries, or by 4 x 4, glassing the logged off areas in the mountains, where bears are feeding on the lush new vegetation. All hunts are exciting spot and stalk. The average bear taken squares over six feet although every year many go over seven feet and a high percentage of the skulls make the record books.
