Saskatchewan Bear

SASKATCHEWAN BLACK BEAR:

Our bear hunting territory covers over 400 km2 (over 150 square miles).  Our outfitter has an Exclusive outfitter’s permit to hunt this area.  Our unique location situated in a boreal forest, fringing agricultural land to the south and a provincial park to the north, gives you access to high quality habitats producing a large number of trophy bear.  We know that to produce big bears, their habitat must have an abundance of quality food available over long periods of time.  Our bear feast on a banquet of new aspen growth during the first warm days of spring, various wild berries during the summer months, our famous fall blueberries and finally, on the nearby agricultural production.  Our bears live very close to their food supplies. As a consequence, their medium weight is impressive and the survival rate of young bear is usually very high, thus maintaining a large and stable bear population on our territory.

Since our hunters exercise the only hunting pressure on the territory, many of our bears reach massive weights and a ripe old age.  Over the past ten years several trophy bears have been harvested here, including a few measuring over 7 feet, exceeding 450 lbs and having a 20-inch skull score. (Pope & Young minimum is 18 inches.)  Our bears are known to have thick, rich and luscious furs and approximately one out of six bear is a color phase bear.

Our Outfitter maintains over 30 baited bear sites throughout the hunting season contributing to a consistent bear hunting success rate of close to 100% year after year.  (Your success may vary depending on your selection criteria in terms of bear size and coloration.) . Baiting begins one full month prior to the arrival of our first hunters.  Each site has a trail camera, increasing your chances on a colored or large bear and is set up with at least two stands, one for archers, another for firearm hunters. Wind direction is always considered before placing you anywhere!

With our extraordinary bear territory, flexible approach to hunting, constant monitoring and baiting of all bear sites, combined with quality lodging and hearty food, we feel you will have an exceptional hunt with an excellent chance of tagging your trophy class bear. If you tag out early, you can enjoy outstanding fishing for Northern pike and walleye on the nearby lakes for the extra cost of only your fishing permit.
