Coastal Black Bear
WORLD FAMOUS HUNTS, LEGENDARY EXPERIENCES.
Black bear hunting in British Columbia stands out as an exceptional and distinctive pursuit compared to other hunting activities.
The province is celebrated for its significant black bear population, presenting hunters with a special chance to interact with these impressive creatures in their own environment.
This unique aspect of British Columbia offers adventurers and wildlife enthusiasts the opportunity to explore the vast wilderness and come face to face with one of North America’s most iconic species in its wild setting.
A Black Bear Hunt Like No Other
Our coastal black bear hunts take place in remote British Columbia wilderness and are offered in two distinct formats — both run at intentionally low volume.
Vessel-Based Hunts (Flagship)
These hunts are conducted from a live-aboard vessel, providing access to isolated shoreline and island habitat.
Expect:
- Daily movement based on weather and tides
- Flexible, adaptive hunting plans
- Comfortable accommodations with access to remote country
This option suits hunters who value mobility, access, and a refined coastal experience.
Remote Wall Tent Hunts
For hunters seeking a simpler, more cost-effective option, we also offer remote wall tent–based hunts.
These hunts:
- Operate from fixed camps
- Require greater patience and discipline
- Offer a traditional, stripped-down experience
- Maintain the same guiding standards
Comfort is reduced. Effort remains high.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When is the best time to hunt black bears in BC?
The spring season (April – June) is ideal, as bears are highly active after emerging from hibernation and feeding along shorelines or in open meadows. Fall hunts (September – October) align with the salmon spawn, drawing bears to rivers and streams, making them easier to locate. Both seasons offer excellent trophy opportunities.
Do I need Prior Hunting Experience?
No prior experience is required! Our expert guides will assist you every step of the way, ensuring a safe and successful hunt whether you’re a seasoned hunter or a first-timer. We tailor each hunt to match your skill level and comfort.
How Physically Demanding is the hunt?
Both hunts require some level of physical effort, but the ocean hunt is less strenuous, as much of the spotting is done from a skiff. The lodge-based hunt involves more hiking and stalking through forests and rugged terrain. Good fitness is recommended, but we tailor the experience to your abilities.
Can I bring a non-hunting guest?
Yes! Non-hunting guests are welcome to join for an additional fee. They can experience the adventure, enjoy the breathtaking scenery, and witness incredible wildlife—whales, grizzlies, and sea lions—while accompanying you on the hunt.
