Looking to take my teen son on a spring black bear hunt. Don’t want to spend Alaska money but doesn’t necessarily have to be super cheap either. Decent camp, safe stands, and seeing lots of bears is the priority. I hear lots of good things about Canada. I have heard great things about Byron Wolf with Wolf hunting adventures but his new camp there isn’t any fishing….my understanding is you typically only hunt the evening…..so thinking being able to fish in the morning would keep the boy entertained??? What does a typical bear hunting day look like? What do you do all morning if you don’t hunt till the late afternoon?

Any outfitters you recommend that works well with kids (teen), or just good outfitters in general?

You mention stands, are you only wanting to hunt over bait? British Columbia has tons of black bears and good outfitters, but no baiting. Mainly because it’s not needed there.

I had the best trip of my life with the McCarthys at North Mountain Adventures in Manitoba. They have a teenage son who is one cool kid. He runs his own trap line and is a hunting fool. I bet your boy would get along with him extremely well.

They are wonderful folks, the camp is outstanding and the bears and hunting are incredible. Two over 430lb and 4 over 318lb in one week of hunting. They have awesome setups with double ladders. Cost for my week was $3,500.

You’re welcome to run into town, go fish on a nearby river or lake or anything else you would like to do in the mornings. We shot, hung out and played music and just had a good old time.

I couldn’t recommend them enough. Truly the best hunting week of my life. An outfitter can make or break a hunt and they made it for me.
