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?
