Please feel free to contact Bob Milligan for more info or feel free to ask me.
Thank you in advance

Bob runs a first class operation, someone is getting a great deal.

I doubt if the outfitter will guarantee a grizzly ... They are grizzly bears !!!

Call him and see. I think you'll be Suprised by the number of quality bears on the fall salmon runs.
All offers will be considered
Thanks.
Michael

How times change. That outfitter's entire concession was sold to him for $30,000 30 years ago. Grizzly hunts were $3500.

All offers will be considered. Worst I can say is no thanks

How about pay 6000 dollars out of my 16000 dollars. That's 10,000 savings on this hunt

Are we talking Canadian dollars or U.S. dollars?

American dollars

A Grizzly bear hunt for $28K. Is that not a really high price? I thought you could hunt a Grizz for half that?

nube, you can get a grizzly hunt for half that, but not this type of grizzly hunt. Do some research on where these hunts are, how they hunt, and the size of the bears in this coastal area.

These hunts have been high dollar for a long time. With the creation of the Great Bear Forest area from Jarvis Inlet all the way up to Stewart, and the fact that the BC gov't has approved buy out of the outfitters grizzly quotas in this area to end the grizzly hunting.......... this type of hunt is eventually going to be just a handful of permits each year.

Prices are most certainly not going to go down.

Thanks Skyline. I have never seen one like this before. Sounds like a pretty good area.

Agree with Skyline. These hunts aren't going to get any cheaper.

I think Bob's area is right on/near the SCI boundary line which separates the bears from either being a common grizzly or Alaskan brown bear.......... bears in his areas being classified as grizzlies. If so, another reason for getting the high price. Very high scoring grizzlies.

I use to guide for grizzly up in that neck of the woods. There are some huge bears and wading along shallow tributaries loaded with salmon, looking for a big boar is outstanding hunting. Huge old growth forest towering overhead, salmon bumping into your legs and close encounters with the big bruins.............. I loved it.

There are places where a bear is a grizzly one minute, but after he walks a ways down stream he becomes a brownie as he enters the state of Alaska.

Be a sad day when the damned anti's manage to bring an end to it. With the First Nations on board it is likely just a matter of time before it all grinds to a halt. If you want to experience this outstanding hunting for coastal grizzlies it would be a good idea to do it while it is still available, cause the future looks grim.

I'm also in the same fight and we all forsee this hunt closing, I'm Milligan's neighbouring territory and what the OP is offering is a very good deal. And yes, the hunter can expect a grizzly here, on member Dogleg's hunt we had seven Grizzlies inside 100 yards in three days.

It's a whole different sort of grizzly hunting than inland, far, far higher concentrations of bears and larger, as Skyline explains. These are brown bears that enter the books as Grizzlies. My rate is $29,500US, and I can foresee that increasing to low 30's shortly, and they sell just as the OP has shown.

People need to understand just like Moose with US Shiras versus Yukon or Alaska, a grizzly isn't simply a grizzly. With Milligan's area and the North Coast in general you're going to have 100% opportunity, too, instead of booking two or three inland hunts. Essentially you could spend less to do it right the first time and have a bigger bear. Plus, the setting, North Coast rainforest is like nothing else.

If looking for a grizzly hunt I would jump on the OP's offer of a discount that big, that's pretty unreal, you're getting a coastal for the price of inland. To be clear don't know the OP and never met him, speaking frankly on the deal offered there.

It is no doubt a hell of a deal . If I did not have so much booked already, I would take the offer.

oil is down boys no one has any money what now

Plenty of guys out there who aren't reliant on oil fortunately, and a good few who actually do well with low oil. Doesn't really make a difference for the OPs offer.

This hunt is not available any longer. I called the outfitter and it is gone.

Well I guess that has been answered. Lol sorry for u having to go through the trouble of calling him.

Somebody knew what they were looking at. Glad it worked our for you woodsie.
