Dear Friends,

I’m just returned from my 250 acres property in central New Brunswick. I’m very satisfied because after two years I’ve taken my first big game animal. Was an old 240 pounds bear female with almost no teeth inside the mouth but wit a very good fur despite the advanced season, taken in the afternoon of the first day of the hunt. I’m really surprised of the number of the black bears in the area. I’ve seen another bear in the same bait and another in a near. Ther’ are also moose, few deer and a lot of grouse. I was also very lucky to find Vance and Cavan, two neighbors, that are hunting guide and are helping in the property management and hunting. See few photos:

the bear outside my house:

Good for you Mario, What a great place to vacation. That bear looked like it needed to die or see a dentist.

Billy,
I'm very satisfied about the purchase even is very difficult manage a property so far from my house. Yes the bear was the right animal to collect.

Nice bear Mario! How many kilo's does a black bear average? I heard they are more aggressive than brown bears. Is this true?

Dina,
a good black bear in eastern Canada is around 100kg. You find bigger black bears, some real monsters, in B.C. and Alaska ( coastal subspecie). I do not think they are more aggressive than Brownies. I met a couples in my area and they runanway very fast

Well done Mario! A nice bear.
Are you allowed to hunt without a guide if you have property in canada?

In New Brunswick if you are owner of a property of a value over 25000$ you can obtain the guide exemption permit. But for big game hunting I think is better to have someone who help you.

Ciao Mario,
you have buy one property in Canada???' COOOOOL this is my dream!!!

Great fro hunting, put the salz stone for Hunting deer and other Wild!!

BRAVO AUGURI!!

Dina, the brown bear is definitely more aggressive , more volatile, than the black bear ! Many more attacks by brown bears on people than blacks.

Beautiful black bear, congratulations.

Oscar.

thanks Oscar

Congrats Mario for the two things: the bear and your property !!!

Put some trail cams in those salt stones and share the pictures with us !!
