Description
BLACK BEAR
We hunt black bear in both spring and fall. The best time in the spring is from mid May until the 15th of June. The best time to hunt in the fall is September 1 until October 15th. It is quite common to see as many as 20-30 black bears during a week hunt during the spring therefore the area has a bag limit of two black bears.
In the spring the black bear are quite often found foraging where the can find new green growth. A lot of time is spent glassing mountain slopes that get exposure to sunlight and make the grass grow. If bears find a spot where they like to eat they will quite often frequent the same spot for several days especially in the evening. Bears also mate from late May and into Mid June. The large boars will travel at this time of year in search of mates and for this reason they become more visible.
Fall hunts are the same except instead of the bears looking for green growth they are looking for ripe berries. In some spots the huckleberries grow as large as your thumbnail and the bears return to these spots to gorge themselves and gain as much weight as possible in preparation for winter hibernation.

HUNT ITINERARY
You will be greeted upon your arrival in Fr. Grahame. We will find you a bunk for the evening unless you are heading straight to spike camp. You will be fed lunch and you will check your rifle next. We prefer your rifle to be sighted in 3 inches high at 100 yds and you should have a .270Win or larger.
The next day you will travel to your spike camp. Where you go will depend on what species you are hunting and your physical capabilities. You may move to different camps for other species.
Your last night will be spent in Ft. Grahame before your return to Prince George. We will get your trophies ready for your return home or if you wish we will have them shipped to you or your taxidermist at the end of the season. In some cases this is easier as there are compulsory inspections for some species and others need C.I.T.E.S. permits applied for.
