British Columbia Vancouver Island – Coastal Black Bear Hunting
World-class black bear hunting on Vancouver Island
Vancouver Island Coastal Black Bear Hunting
Experience world-class black bear hunting on Vancouver Island, where spot-and-stalk hunts take place in some of North America’s most breathtaking terrain. Our 5-day, 1-on-1 guided hunts operate from a beautiful four-bedroom lodge on Cowichan Lake, giving each hunter a private room and the option to bring an observer. Additionally, our highly experienced guides know the area intimately, using 4×4 trucks to navigate logging roads and reach prime glassing points at higher elevations.
Hunting Experience & Trophy Bears
From elevated vantage points, we scan valley bottoms and clear-cuts for trophy boars, selectively targeting mature bears with 18-inch-plus heads. On a typical day, hunters can expect to see 5 to 10 bears, with the potential to spot up to 20. Moreover, our focus is on harvesting only the biggest, most mature boars—no compromises on quality. Spring is the prime season for pursuing Vancouver Island’s largest boars.
Accommodations & Meals
After a long day in the field, you’ll return to the lodge where our professional cook prepares a hearty breakfast, a packed lunch for the hunt, and an incredible dinner to end the day. Each hunting group accommodates up to four hunters, with each paired with their own guide. Consequently, you receive personalized attention and a fully immersive experience in the field.
Travel & Logistics
Hunters fly into Nanaimo Airport (YCD) on Vancouver Island and are asked to arrive the day before the hunt begins and depart the day after it ends. Airport pickup and drop-off are included, ensuring a seamless experience. Therefore, hunters can focus on the adventure without worrying about logistics.
Why Choose This Hunt
If you’re looking for an unforgettable black bear hunting adventure with top-tier accommodations, expert guides, and unparalleled opportunities for mature trophy boars, this Vancouver Island hunt is an ideal choice. Book early to secure your spot!
