Black Bear Hunting in Alberta
Alberta Slave Lake Trophy Black Bear Hunt Overview
The Alberta Slave Lake Trophy Black Bear Hunt is widely regarded as one of the best spring black bear hunts in North America. These hunts offer an extremely high success rate with 100% opportunity, and hunters are allowed to harvest two bears. As a result, clients consistently see numerous bears throughout the hunt, including excellent opportunities at highly sought-after color-phase bears.
Exceptional Bear Numbers & Color Phases
During the spring season, bears are active and visible, making encounters frequent and exciting. Moreover, this region is known for its high density of color-phase black bears, including blonde, cinnamon, brown, and other rare variations. Because of this, the area produces not only color-phase bears, but also true trophy-sized animals, making it especially attractive for serious bear hunters.
Hunting Methods & Spring Conditions
Hunting is conducted from baited stands as well as through spot-and-stalk methods, allowing flexibility based on hunter preference and conditions. Additionally, spring in Northern Alberta is a beautiful time of year, offering mild temperatures and active wildlife. For those interested, fishing can also be combined with the bear hunt, adding even more value to the trip.
Comfortable Camps & Ideal Group Hunts
The bear camp consists of well-equipped wall tents with airtight wood stoves and a dedicated cook house. Therefore, hunters enjoy both comfort and camaraderie after a day in the field. This hunt is especially well-suited for a father-and-son trip, family groups, or bowhunters seeking record-book potential in a relaxed but productive setting.
Proven Outfitter & Unmatched Opportunity
Spring black bear hunts in this area run from early May through mid-June, which coincides with peak bear activity. Furthermore, one of our Shoshone staff members has personally hunted with this outfitter and considers it the best black bear hunt in North America, based on average bear size and trophy potential. Ultimately, the Alberta Slave Lake Trophy Black Bear Hunt delivers unmatched opportunity, outstanding bear quality, and a truly memorable spring hunting experience.
