Bear Hunt, Saskatchewan, Canada

Brown bear image Black bears abound in Saskatchewan's forests. Regions such as ours which are well away from farmland or resorts have the greatest populations. Caribou Trail Outfitters operates in at least 200 square miles of hunting land in which 30% of the bears are in a color phase (brown, cinnamon, chocolate and blonde) other than black.

Saskatchewan law allows hunters to use bait to entice bears into shooting range. CTO puts hunters onto active bait(s) which enables them to see more than one bear on a hunt. This allows hunters to watch and understand more of the bears behaviors in their natural habitat.

The season starts mid May when bears are hungry after hibernation. The coats are in great shape before the mosquitoes and black flies are out. The evenings are the opportune time to hunt bears leaving the mornings open for fishing or just relaxing.

Bears can reach upwards of 500 pounds spring weight. Usually this will get you into the Boone and Crockett size measurements. Saskatchewan is a one bear tag per client zone. Keep our population mature.

------ LODGING FOR BEAR HUNT ------

A new, private 5200 sq. ft. lodge is open and ready for business. Click the 'Lodging' button above for a look at our facilities.

------ THE BEAR HUNT ------

Hunts begin after lunch each day.

The trip to our hunting grounds is 20 - 40 miles down improved logging roads. From the roads clients are either walked, boated, or driven to their stands on ATV's. The stands are either commercial tree stands or ground blinds varying in distance from the bait and tackle being used.

Hunter's are checked upon regularly at a pre-determined point as to not disturb the bait site but to also ensure efficiency if an animal has been harvested.

All caping and hide preparation is taking care of for the taxidermy by CTO.
