    Flying into Vancouver with a rifle from the U.S?

    Thank you. The customs agent must witness you sign the form. Sorry I left that out

    The Bear Whisperer” Host Charged With Poaching Black Bear in a National Park, Airing the Footage on His Show

    If true and he knowingly did that as it’s written, I hope he gets the maximum fine and is never able to hunt in AK again. It really pisses me off when people who represent hunters to the public via hunting shows or are big on social media do something like this. It gives the anti’s some low...

    Flying into Vancouver with a rifle from the U.S?

    Fill it out ahead of time. Declare the rifle when you go to the customs declaration iPads when you disembark. When you retrieve the gun from baggage claim (special spot for oversized luggage, separate from where you grab your suitcase), you will head towards the exit and someone will review the...

    Spring black bear

    Oh yeah, I doubt spot and stalk trad archery is easy anywhere. Shoot, that would be hard with modern archery equipment. Hats off to y’all who have done that. I’ve gotten close enough to do it, but that’s only half the battle.

    Spring black bear

    Yes. Clay Newcomb, now with meat eater, used to have a video of him on an archery hunt with them. Like all guides, they prefer clients with rifles. The bear I killed this year was taken at 30 yards. The one I killed last year was at 60 yards. You can get close.

    Spring black bear

    @Brooks051 I’ve been with Pacific Bear Outfitters in BC twice. Can’t recommend them enough. Easy to get to. Couple hour drive from Vancouver. Guide will pick you up at your hotel in Vancouver, so if you fly to Vancouver, you don’t need to worry about renting a car. Spot and stalk. Stay in wall...

    Tennessee Bear Hunting

    I see a lot on the Cade’s Cove loop near Gatlinburg. Never been able to get a shot off though, too many tourists in the way.

    Hunting rig <15K

    Explorer Sport Trac 4wd. I took one up some pretty nasty roads right around Fruita. Would’ve been better with a 2-3” lift, but it made it. Was stock + good all terrain tires.

    What is your household hunting budget?

    I siphon off whatever is needed from the food budget. Can’t short the food budget.

    Trail cam bear

    I’m not great at judging bears, but that looks like a good sized boar. Maybe 6’ square? How big do you think he is?

    How do grizzly bears taste?

    Agreed. Black bear is delicious. I cooked some black bear for the first time recently while my kids had one of their friends over. Prior to tasting, I could tell the friend was not a fan of the idea, and was only going along due to peer pressure. My wife only wanted to try a little bit...

    Relocating bears

    Well, I don’t know if I qualify as experienced. Been twice but with a guide both times. Dominant bears will stay in an area unless something more dominant pushes it out or the food source changes significantly. So that bear may still be there. Will a ten year old burn be huntable, or will it be...

    Bears in the Southeast of AK

    How do you do it in SE Alaska? My only experience bear hunting is driving to then hiking logging roads and glassing cuts in BC.

    stalker decoy for black bear hunting

    The guide I’ve gone with in BC sometimes uses a black umbrella during the rut.

    Bears in the Southeast of AK

    Out of staters can hunt black bear unguided and with OTC tags, right? The other big game animals require non-residents to hire guides, correct? Thanks for the heads up on areas to go. Are you hunting them by spot and stalking from a boat?

    Spring 2023 bear hunt planning

    Did you see any? If you’ve never killed one and never hunted bears DIY, I’d consider seeing a good boat to be a win for year one, especially if you’re not from the area. I’ve killed two with a guide in BC. I plan to try my hand DIY in Idaho or Montana next year.
