Hunting for Black Bear

The black bear season here in Alberta begins in early April but due to the environmental conditions, the bears do not become really active until after the first week in May. That is when we begin our hunts as there are black bears everywhere!

Brown colored Black Bear As Big as they come!

Black Bear Hunting

Draw baits are utilized in wildlife management unit 526 and wildlife management unit 359 for bow hunting black bear. These areas are world renowned for off color bears. These wildlife management units or wmu's border the north and south shores of the Mighty Peace River and the British Columbia border to the west.

Hunts for black bear with a bow are very exclusive as we take a maximum of four hunters per year in each area. We employ approximately 10-14 baits per 4 man group. I guarantee no hunters have utilized baits prior to your hunt.

If you are looking for a unique color phase of the black bear these wmu's have shown from our previous bear harvests, that approximately 50% are colors other than black. Color phases from a creamy blonde color to a rich chocolate brown are common. When hunting over draw baits you will be sitting in one of our new and safely constructed tree stands. You can expect clear shots from between 15 to 20 yards to the target.

Myself or one of my experienced guides will accompany two hunters to the baits. Once the hunter is safely seated in the tree stand the guide will leave the immediate area and return just after shooting light.

Bait hunts in wmu 359 and 526 have had sightings of 4 to 8 bear on one bait, this is not uncommon. This kind of bow hunting over bait provides shots from 10 to 20 yard range.

Rifle Black Bear Hunts

Our rifle black bear hunts are conducted in wildlife management units 356, 355, 445 and 524. These hunting areas are great for black bear and home to a small population of grizzly bears. Due to Grizzlies residing in this area there is no baiting allowed for black bears. This makes for some of the best spot hunting for black bears in Alberta.

We hunt black bears from tree stands, pickup trucks or on foot. Black bears are found in abundance on clover patches, along old logging roads and on the banks of the Smoky River. On average we see 10 to 30 black bears per hunt! Bears shot, on average, are approximately 6 ft. in length and weigh approximately 300 lbs.. Some black bears over 7 ft. are taken each year. Success rate is 100% on the first bear and 50% to 90% on the second bear. Shots can be expected from 60 to 150 yds. A 30-06 caliber and larger is plenty big for black bear.

As there is no baiting in these areas so we can pass the savings of baiting costs onto the hunter. A six day hunt is only $3,000 U.S. funds plus tags. You can harvest two bears on your license and there is no charge for the second bear. For an additional $500 U.S. funds plus the licence fee you can add wolf to your trophy hunt.

Handicapped hunters can be accommodated. All hunts are two hunters per one guide. If you would like one guide per hunter for the six day hunt this will cost $3,000 U.S. funds plus tags. Single hunters are welcome; we can team you up with another hunter. A maximum of four hunters in camp at one time, ensures a quality hunt. We only take four hunters in each area per year, this ensures that this area has not been hunted by us the previous weeks.

Please feel free to contact any or all of my references located on my photo page. Bookings can obtained by e-mailing Derrel Johnson at mpoc@telusplanet.net.

Black bears can be hunted in the spring or fall. We also offer combination black bear and mule deer hunts. This is a great combination hunt and very economical at only $4,800 U.S. funds plus tags. This gives you 3 Alberta animals, two Black bears and one mule deer at a great price.

Advantages to spot to hunting verses baiting:
- Spot hunting areas are not over hunted.
- The hunter can hunt all day, over bait we only hunt evenings.
- The hunter can see a lot more country while looking for a great bear.
- Cost of spot hunting is much cheaper because the costs associated with baiting is eliminated.

We only have a few hunts left for this upcoming season. If you would like more information on these or our archery hunts over bait just give me a call or drop me an e-mail. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have about our hunts.
