Spring black bear hunt all included package

There are over 70,000 black bears in the Province of Québec. Black bear hunting is open in Québec during the Spring. This particular kind of hunting is usually done on territories prepared well in advance by outfitters, who carefully lay out bait to attract the animals. It is worth noting that by law, non residents, must go through a recognized outfitter to hunt bear in Québec.

Bear hunting season spans 6 weeks during Spring, from mid-May to the end of June. This is when the success rate is highest because bears come out of hibernation avidly looking for food. The hunter meanwhile is quietly waiting in a stand, solidly set up in a tree, and watches the black bear's often stealthy approach. This helps minimize the risk of being detected by the bear, who is very good at picking up any movement or odour. Be aware that bears hunt at the very period when mosquitoes and black flies are abundant. In this context, remaining completely still is an art unto itself!
