About this hunt
Welcome. We are located in the heart of Beautiful New Brunswick, Canada. Our number one priority is to make our establishment your ultimate Black Bear hunting destination. Our Canadian wilderness has so many spectacular sights to see, whether it be a small trickling brook, waterfall, or lake, and of course, some of the best black bear hunting in North America, you will not be disappointed in all New Brunswick has to offer. Our staff is friendly, and will go to great lengths to make your experience unforgettable. We maintain approximately 30 bait sites, and many of our stands are set up at bow range. We also have ground blinds and rifle stand sites, and can accommodate any type of hunter. Hunting method options are: rifle, compound, long or cross bow, muzzleloader or shotgun with a slug. We are located in the top county for success with our past hunters having an 85% success rate and 100% sightings. The average adult black bear weighs anywhere from 250-600 pounds. With the purchase of a bear license, you can also hunt coyote (no limit) and the best small mouth bass fishing is available at no extra charge. 16 and 17 year old hunters are eligible to purchase a non-resident bear license if they show proof of a Firearm Safety/Hunter Education and proof of two year’s hunting experience if hunting with a gun, or a stand alone Bow Hunter Education course or a previous bow hunting license if hunting with a bow or crossbow. 16 and 17 year olds must be accompanied by an adult holder of a bear license with two years hunting experience. We have a limit of 8 hunters per week and only hunt the best 2 weeks of the fall season to ensure a quality experience. We offer a discount of $100 USD per person if there is a group of 4 or more hunters booking together.
