Nanika Lake Outfitters offer a 6 day spring or fall black bear hunt, as well as a 10 day black bear/ moose combo hunt in the fall. In BC it is illegal to bait bears, this is a spot and stalk hunt in the roaded area of our 1250 sq. mile hunting territory. We hunt the open grassy hillsides and logging roads in the spring. The bears are hungry after a long winter sleep and are on the move searching for fresh new vegetation. At this time of year it's common to see up to 5 bears a day and on a "bear day" when the conditions are favorable 5-12 is normal, sometimes with several stalk attempts. We hunt for 4-5 hours each morning with a midday break followed by a 5-6 hour evening hunt. During the fall hunt we target berry patches and logging blocks with the same 2 hunts per day approach as in the spring. Our area is full of bears, in fact you can take two bears if you desire. 5-15% of our bears are color phase ranging from solid black, to black with a white blaze, to cinnamon and chocolate. Our bears average 5 1/2 - 6 feet squared with the monster boars going 7 feet. 

We hunt for these bears from our base camp and we can accommodate up to four hunters at once. If you want a black bear or two, this is your outfit, we boast a 100% opportunity rate, not to mention a quality experience in a must see area of the world!
