    Bear Hunt Timing

    Most of my bear hunting has been in British Columbia, Canada. The bears mating season here starts to ramp up mid-May to mid- June. This is when we do most of our hunting as the bigger boars are out and about.

Double lung they dont go very far. We’ve taken bears up to 6 foot 7 inches nose to tail, it plays out the...
