Reviewer Comments: This was my 10th Bear hunt, first in Quebec. We had 16 guys in Camp and 14 harvested Bears. The Bears weight averaged only 130 pounds, largest being about 300# and smallest about 90#'s. This is a place for ACTION! But not known for it's Trophy Big Boars, they are in hibernation for such a long time. The Snow just melted at the end of May! I had Moose and Wolf's just a few yards away from my stand. If you want to go on a hunt to see Bears, call Don!

Reviewer Comments: Don is known as Mr. Bear. I was scared to book a bear hunt until I heard about this reliable outfitter. 6 of 8 guys got bears on private sites set out for each hunter. Each of 3 sites were exclusive to each hunter and untouched until that hunter hunted the site. Excellent bear population, very experience guide.

British Columbia Hunting Information
British Columbia is an excellent hunting destination that offers a wide variety of game species. Vast wilderness areas and pristine coastlines provide world class adventure hunting for those seeking that trip of a lifetime. BC is arguably best known for big coastal black bears, Canada moose, grizzly bear, mountain lion, Dall sheep and Stone sheep. Hunters can book a hunt with an outfitter and avoid the license drawing process common in most U.S. states.
Colorado Hunting Information
Colorado is one of the best western states for trophy mule deer hunting and has the largest population of elk in the west.
Utah Hunting Information
Utah has recently been outstanding for trophy elk, but the best tags take many years to draw. Utah does have conservation tags available for purchase that allow hunters to bypass the drawing. Given the high demand for these premium tags prices can be high. In the past Utah has been a top trophy mule deer state but recently only a handful of units consistently produce B&C caliber deer.
