We are working with John Blackwell/Fawnie Mountain Outfitters in BC. John has been in the outfitting business in BC since '69 and offers bear and moose hunting plus salmon, trout, stellhead fishing.

John takes only a limited amount of bear hunters each year and that allows him to keep the trophy quality high and expectation should be for a bear squaring 6.5' to better than 7'. You are allowed two bears and John's area offers 100% success on at least one bear per hunter.

One aspect of this hunt that I really like is if you get your bear or bears in the salt early which is very possible John will fly you to his Moose Lake Lodge for some spectacular rainbow fishing at no additional cost.

The hunt is all spot and stalk via pick up and glassing from vantage points thoughout the 960,000 acre guide area.

You'd fly to Prince George, BC where your guide will meet you and drive you the 2 hours to camp. The camp is tented but has showers, comfy cots etc.

The hunts are 7 days with one opening May 25-31 and two slots on June 1-7.

Some recent bears. The big red one squares 7'4".

This area is not far from my old stomping grounds in Quesnel BC (move to Alberta a year ago). Definitely LOTS of bears in that part of the world. And not many local bear hunters for the size of the country....it was very rare to pass another hunter on a logging road when out chasing spring bears. In late May we would see a dozen plus bear a day as a minimum. In the areas we hunted (within 30 min of Quesnel) there were 30-40% color phase. The Mountain Pine Beetle epidemic and subsequent logging over the last 10 years has created an absolute wealth of bear habitat.

Folks,

I'm taking one of these hunts and Sadie can't go so I need a partner for a 2x1 hunt. Anybody interested?

Mark

BTT

Man-o-man, I just can't this year. This sure is tempting

Gojoe,

Thisis where I wanted to book you for your fishing trip.

That is an amazing deal for an established high end outfitter. In 2007 I hunted the Frazer river area near Williams Lake in September and got a nice brown colour phase bear in the last 10 minutes of a 6 day hunt and that cost about the same for 2 bears (plus my mule deer). The camp was an old abandoned ranch house that had been made habitable with new insulation, generator and wood fire. We shared a room with 5 or 6 bunks and the toilet was an outhouse with no shower.

This looks like a great deal in a great area.

After the trips I've got planned are over. I hope to be wise enough to listen to sage advice before I plan any more trips, LOL. Let's put this on the top of the list.

Gojoe

Sounds like a plan. You buying that 375 started a whole series of events..............

Mark

I'm just taking a break from my loading bench, Spring is almost here!And I need to shoot that 375!

Well, I tried...but I can't make my work schedule work with my "I wanna go" schedule.

Up for a great deal....

Mark, I'll make it someday.

Hey, Mark, is the May slot still open? How much for my usual observer?

You can shoot me a PM if you like.

PM sent.
