British Columbia Black Bear Trip #1
Description:
When you first meet our BC outfitter you will know right away that he is the real deal. One of the best tests for a good outfitter is seeing clients that came back empty-handed on their hunt and immediately rebook for the following year. The Outdoor Solutions crew travels to see BC as much as possible to hunt with these guys when you leave you will know that every possible effort was made to get you on your animal.
When it comes to black bears this is one of our favorite places to go, there are plenty of bears, they are big and it’s spot and stalk, so you have the opportunity to see lots of country. During our last visit, we have 6 hunters in camp and took home 6 bears, with each of us seeing on an average of over 10 bears per day. This is a two-bear limit so if you choose, for an extra fee you can take a second bear

One of the most exciting hunts we have been on in a long time! The thrill of a fast-paced bear race and getting to see the outfitter’s dog’s work is tough to beat! This is a great hunt for all hunters, and they have a very high success ratio on their bear hunts. They have a strong bear population and are fortunate to be able to show their clients several trophy bears each season.
They also utilize modern technology to keep up with their hounds. GPS mapping units offer an exciting opportunity for the hunter to actually be a part of the chase and get a perspective of the roles individual dogs play during a chase. They currently have forty hounds. During any particular hunt, there could be as many as four packs of hounds with guides searching for fresh bear signs.
