Spring Black Bear Hunts in Canada, British Columbia

There are 2 bear hunting seasons in BC, Canada: spring and fall.

Spring black bear hunts usually begin in April and ends in June. Spring bear hunting is a long-standing tradition in Canada. In spring, black bears emerge from their winter dens and begin foraging to replenish their energy reserves. Known as the “green up,” this is one of the best times to target bears. In spring, black bears have thick and lush fur, making their pelts more desirable for hunters.

Fall bear hunts usually start in September and end in December while the bears are getting ready for hibernation. In autumn, bears are more alert and weather conditions can quickly shift, which makes hunting conditions more difficult than spring.

Do You Use a Bait Site and Ground Blinds?

No; by law there is NO baiting allowed of bears in BC and it’s really not needed.

Hunting black bear in British Columbia is largely spot and stalk hunt and the bears are often glassed in clear cuts and old logging slashes where there is plenty of green grass and plant material – and ideal habitat for this large omnivore to feed in.

Black Bears are a common table fare for most hunters in BC and the meat is excellent when properly processed into items such as hams, sausages, smokies, pepperoni and other smoked delicacies.
