With over 52 stands over the Churchill River and only 10 hunters in camp at a time, we offer some of the finest hunting anywhere....guaranteed....
We get you to your stands when the bears are moving. Most places only have you hunt the evening. We find some of our bears move during the early AM and our goal is to put you where the action is.
35 - 40% color phase from light blond to the darkest brown. If you have a desire, we try our best to meet it. Although we can never guarantee color, we do our best to take you to the site, that has the color your looking for.
All of our stands are within a couple hundred yards of active streams for spawning fish in the spring and with bears being creatures of habit, they stay were the food is. In addition, all our sites are with in a hundred yards of water. No TAV trails and no long walks! All of our stands are accessible only by water.....fish half the day, hunt the rest....what more could you ask for?
One of the greatest myths is that bear is uneatable...with NO landfills or dumps for our bears to feed on, these bears produce some wonderful tasting meat that is definitely going to have people talking...in a good way!!
A daily meeting is held with our bear guides and baiters to make sure you are placed in an active stand, when we say active, we mean a shootable bear, not just stands being hit....
At Black Bear Island Lodge, we provide all of the following for our guests:
Pre baited, well hit stands
All the tree stands are already there for you
Trophy prep & quartering of your animal should you desire
to take your meat home with you
We freeze all our hides upon caping them and ready for
you to take to your taxidermist upon leaving the lodge.
Native guides who know this area and the animals like the
back of their hand - they live here year round
3 hot meals daily, 2 in the main lodge and shore lunch daily
(prepared by your guide) with your fresh caught fish
cooked right out of the water.
Cabins with hot & cold running water, and private
bathrooms
Once you have harvested your bear, you will continue your trip fishing the full day. We also offer non hunting companion rates - just ask us.
Our main goal is to make the client happy.....that comes, not only with lots of bears, but really big bears. We do all we can for you, the rest is up to you....shoot strait..... your furthest shot is approximately 10-15 yards.
We aren’t called black bear island lodge for nothing
