Hunt in late August-September for Maine black bears. Hunt takes place near Baker Lake in northwest Maine where the outfitter has 350,000 exclusive acres to hunt. Hunting is over bait and can be by bow, pistol, rifle or muzzleloader.

This outfitter is the #1 bear outfitter in Maine for numbers of bears harvested each year. The kill rate has been 80% in recent years. Unlike many bear camps that just (over)estimate the bear’s weight, each bear is weighed so you know exactly what the weight is. Each year 12-14 bears over 300 pounds are killed.

This is a great hunt for a young hunter. The minimum age to hunt bears in Maine is 10. The outfitter really enjoys having new hunters in camp and goes the extra mile to see that they have a great hunt. Young hunters must hunt with an adult and double-wide “buddy stands” are available to use.

Even though this is a remote area, the camp has electricity, electric heat, and a shower house with flush toilets.

Includes meals, lodging, guiding, baited stands, skin/quarter/freeze your bear and time permitting, even cut up your bear. Excellent food with lobster on the menu one night!

Hunts are held starting the last Monday in August and running for four weeks. Hunters arrive in camp on Sunday and hunt Monday - Saturday. New stands are hunted each week.

This hunt is an excellent value and within driving distance of many eastern US hunters.

License cost is $102 for adults and $27 for juniors, the cost of the bear permit is $67.

6 Day Hunt - Week 1 - $1850; Week 2 - $1850; Week 3 - $1650; Week 4 - $1450
Guaranteed Hunt - $2600 - if you don’t get a chance at a bear - you come back the next year for free.

Northern Saskatchewan is known for lots of bears and big ones too! This outfitter conducts baited hunts in both spring and fall. Success rates since 1990 have been 100% for the spring hunts and 90-95% for the fall hunts. Each year hunters take bears over 400 pounds with 20 inch skulls. Approximately 20% of the bears are color phase (brown, cinnamon, chocolate).

The hunting territory is comprised of forest fringe and agricultural lands. In fact, some spot and stalk hunting is done in farm fields during September. Trail cameras are utilized at bait sites to give guides and hunters a “true picture” of what is visiting the site.

Hunts are conducted at the main lodge as well as at portable tent camps to hunt the more remote areas which allows the harvest to be spread out. Treestands are set up for rifle, muzzleloader or archery hunters. Travel to the hunting area can be by boat, ATV or 4×4 vehicle.

Fishing can be added to both the spring and fall hunts at no extra cost. Walleye, pike and perch are available. Good numbers of fish and some pike up to 14 pounds have been caught.

There is no draw for non-resident hunting licenses. Approximate cost of bear license is $155. GST and accommodation tax is between 3 and 6 %.

Includes: meals, lodging, outfitting guides, trophy care and field transport. Hunter’s fly into Saskatoon, rent a vehicle and drive 3.5 hours to camp. The drive is all on paved roads except for the last 4 miles.

We can book a group size of five or less.
