British Columbia Black Bear — Vancouver Island

Spot & stalk black bear hunting on Vancouver Island, British Columbia — known for producing some of the largest coastal black bears in the world. Vancouver Island bears benefit from the same rich coastal ecosystem as their mainland cousins: salmon streams, dense vegetation, and a long growing season produce bears of exceptional size and coat quality.

Hunt clearcuts, old-growth forest edges, and salmon stream corridors where bears concentrate in spring. Our guides know every productive area on the island and conduct extensive pre-season scouting to identify the largest bears. 6-day spring hunts offer excellent success rates on quality animals. Vancouver Island is also one of the most beautiful places on earth — a spectacular hunting destination.
