Where can I find a "pretty much guaranteed" bear hunt near an international airport in Canada? I don't want to drive more than 2 or three hours or so. I will be flying from Texas. It will be my first and only bear hunt, so I'm not interested in a huge trophy, just a decent rug.It would be best for me to hunt the first of june. thanks, capt david

I can do that, ....fly to Yellowknife, and we can start hunting 4 miles down the road! First of June they're just coming out and the hides are perfect! 2 years ago one of my hunters was back in town with his bear in an hour and he's still talking about it! Most will run at least 6-7' with absolutely prime hide. Drop me a P.M.

See my post on 24hr Campfire forum.

We offer a top quality black bear hunt! We are the longest running black bear outfitter in the province of Manitoba Canada.
100% opportunity on an active baits, excellent food and accommodations, fishing.
Pick up and take back to Winnipeg International airport.

I have no problem with a bait hunt, but for myself preferred a spot and stalk. This guide's area is just north of vancouver. I took 2 bears in four days - the 1st one 2 hrs after arriving in camp. Plenty of bears to choose from, but I was picky after taking a big boar on the first day. Nice, big coastal bears.

He will have contact info on the website.

Any Spring bear hunt in BC is "virtually Guarranteed"

Fly into Vancover and go with Big Boar outfitters in Pemberton (2 hours drive) or go take a ferry to Van Island and drive a bit more.

Van Isle brar outfitters tend to be more expensive than anywhere in Canada, due to Jim Shockey@

YOu can also fly into Vancouver and then transfer to Williams Lake and get picked up, drive a few hours and be with Niut Outfitters in the Cariboo. They are close to the mid northern coast, so good bears there, too.

PS BC is all spot and stalk, no baiting. Noneed to bait, either.

I went Yellowknife route. Worth the travel time. Nice people and bears were there.
