I never liked the idea of sitting over bait swatting black flies for hours at a time to kill a bear, whats the chance of getting one on the ground at this camp?
A. Excellent! We’ll only allow one client per week in the fall to have a bear tag (caribou/bear combo hunt) and it is not at all unusual for several bears to be spotted each week while looking for caribou. Once someone in camp finds a place where the bears are feeding, they will be there every day. The client with the bear tag will hunt that area keeping an eye out for both bears and caribou. If you keep the wind in your favor it is not difficult to approach these feeding bears to with-in twenty yards. And, yes we have some big bears! We also have a couple “special places” for serious bear hunters. One pond just north of Dollands can be hunted as a day trip from the main camp and runs along the side of a berry covered hillside that always holds lots of bears. It is not uncommon to watch 5-8 bears feeding on the hillside at the same time! We also have a camp on Byron Lake which is more “rustic” but is also right in the middle of great bear country.
