Black bear hunting in Canada

Hunting black bears, commonly known as 'baribals', is one of the most popular hunts in North America.

This species is very numerous in some regions of North America, but the largest population lives in the western Canadian province, British Columbia. There, black bears can be found in three different colors. The most common coat color
among black bears is, of course, black, from which the species' name is derived. About 20-30% of individuals have a brown coat, also known as 'cinnamon.' The least common coat color is beige fur, commonly known as 'blonde.' Such individuals constitute about 2-3% of the local population. British Columbia is primarily composed of mountains and forests. To the east are the Rocky Mountains and to the west are the Coast Mountains. The hunting ground
where a group of hunters from our hunting office hunted this year covered 2.5 million hectares. This is an area the size of almost two provinces. Lesser Poland Voivodeship.
Black bear hunting in Canada is divided into two seasons: the spring season from early May to mid-June. The autumn season is in September.
During the spring season, we encounter increased bear activity. Hungry after hibernation, which ends in April, bears often forage

along meadows, roads, and forest clearings. Furthermore, the mating season lasts from late May to June, and males search for females. The autumn part of the season is devoted to bait hunts. They are somewhat less effective than spring hunts, but they can be combined with hunts for moose, wolves, and deer species such as elk, white-tailed deer, and mule deer. This year, in May, our hunting group captured five black bears, of which, according to statistics, one was 'cinnamon' colored. Of the remaining four, all were classic black, but two were true giants. In addition to bears, we also encountered other species of Roman fauna, including lynxes, wolves, and Moose, mule deer, white-tailed deer, and elk. Smaller game animals include coyotes, hazel grouse, several species of leporids, and many species of wild ducks and geese. Below in the gallery are a few photos from our hunts.
