British Columbia Vancouver Island – Coastal Black Bear Hunting

Experience world-class black bear hunting on Vancouver Island, where we specialize in spot-and-stalk hunts in some of the most breathtaking terrain in North America. Our 5-day, 1-on-1 guided hunts operate from a beautiful four-bedroom lodge on Cowichan Lake, providing each hunter with a private room and the option to bring an observer. Our highly experienced guides know the area intimately, using 4×4 trucks to navigate logging roads and reach prime glassing points at higher elevations. From there, 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. Our focus is on harvesting only the biggest, most mature boars—we don’t settle for just any bear.

After a long day of hunting, you’ll return to the lodge, where our professional cook prepares a hearty breakfast, a packed lunch for the field, and an incredible dinner to end the day. We accommodate up to four hunters per group, each paired with their own guide. Spring is the prime season for hunting Vancouver Island’s largest boars. Travel & Logistics: Hunters fly into Nanaimo Airport (YCD) on Vancouver Island. We ask that you arrive the day before your hunt begins and depart the day after it ends. Airport pickup and drop-off are included for a seamless experience. If you’re looking for an unforgettable bear hunting adventure with top-tier accommodations and expert guides, this is it!
