Vancouver Island Black Bear
Looking for a recommendation for an outfitter for a Spring Black Bear hunt on Vancouver Island, have done the search thing but no recent discussion.

Have done the multi-species hunt but have had no luck on the Black bear side, so looking to concentrate solely on a good Bear, possibly a double if lucky.

Traveling over from Australia with the better half , so will look at making the most of the long flight by enjoying some of the beautiful scenery on offer. Suggestion for 7-10 trip after the hunt also appreciated.

Thanks in Advance

I can highly recommend Dave Fyfe, I have personally hunted with him three times and got great bears on each occasion.

Thanks follow for the suggestions, decided to book a hunt on recommendations from a mate and will be hunting with Frazer River Outfitters.

My wife is not a hunter but enjoys the scenery and animals.

Will be spending a week in Vancouver ( 14 - 22 )prior to hunting, will do day trips from there. Have a to do list including, ice fields, gardens , hand of man musuem, visit Whistler, other major tourist traps.....

Any suggestions for quality accomadation, needs to be close to transport and restuaunt as will not have a car.

Thanks in advance
Scott
