Manitoba Canada Black Bear

I have been doing research on Manitoba black bear hunting outfitters and have decided to post a few chosen ones on the blog. Today's choice is "Big Woods Wilderness Outfitters" located in and around Nopiming Provincial Park in Manitoba which borders on Ontario. They have been in this area since 1966. I graduated from high school in 1965, so trust me when I say ......it has been a while.

They have several videos of nice bears taken on their web site which I will post here. My fascination currently with Manitoba is not to say there are not a LOT of other places in the world to hunt and an equal number of great outfitters. Manitoba is also not cheap, however I am old enough to realize you normally get what you pay for. I have been to Maine several times without a bear and again, don't get me wrong. I LOVE the state of Maine and I normally get there every summer for a week or so on vacation and have been probably 5 or 6 times both deer hunting and black bear hunting. I always say the scenery alone is worth the trip.

What I am seeing in my research in Manitoba is that the bears on average run bigger than in Maine. You will see several bears in the attached videos that run 300 lbs plus. Metal ladder stands are normally placed very close to the bait, and are 10 yards in several cases. You also have the opportunity for color phase bears.

$3200 per person for a 5 day hunt. Site shows $3000 group rate. As I mentioned this is not cheap as you can go to several spots in Maine for less than half of that figure. The next time I do a bear hunt, I will save my pennies and pick a reputable outfitter where the odds of getting a shot at a trophy bear are higher. As with any outfitter anywhere, the weather and other factors could make or break a hunt. There are no guarantees which is why they call it hunting and not shooting.
