My Brother and I, are starting to plan a Bear hunt for the 2011 spring season. We are looking for a good out fitter. Any body have some recemondations ?

Can you narrow it down at all? Are you looking for a big coastal bear, interior bear, cheap hunt, how far do you want to travel, etc?

Sure I can narrow it down.
Not looking for a cheap hunt. Looking for a good hunt.
Dont care if it is coastal or interior bear.
A big bear would be great, but a Great hunt would be better.

Are you interested in using dogs, or just spot and stalk?

Try Bart Lancaster, he runs a top notch outfit out of Williams Lake killing some big bears. I've got some pics of the bears that the got this year if you're interested.

Spot and stalk is what we want.

I'd recommend these guys:

Lots of nice black bears around there.

Niut outfitters area is my stomping grounds. I run cougar and bear eith hounds for Eric. Yes there are some good bears and Eric's prices are good.

Take a look at Collingwood brothers.
I I don't think too expensive and great hunting..

Watson Lake

Try these guys. I've hunted with them twice and will again.

If you want to see a goodly number of bears, I would suggest you look at Jack and Lloyd Hooper's outfit, Tukii Lodge. If you want, they can also do grizzly on the same hunt. Here is a website for you:

I saw over a dozen grizzly and over forty black bears on my hunt with them on a fall hunt. They have a huge hunting territory around Babine Lake and the Babine River. You fly into Smithers and they take it from there.
