About
Here at Abitibi Outfitters guided black bear hunts are our specialty. We typically hunt over pre - baited sites from a treestand or groundblind. We do provide spot and stalk hunts upon the clients request, however these hunts must be agreed upon at the time of booking. This gives our clients flexibility to hunt how they choose. Some of these sites have been baited for many years, allowing all the bears in the neighborhood to visit year after year. These sites are baited as soon as the snow melts each year. This provides the bears with a much needed food source when the bears come out of hibernation. We continue baiting throughout the summer and into the fall. By doing this it ensures that the bears visit our sites regularly and consistently.
Seasons
Ontario is given lengthy spring and fall seasons, however we are given a limited allotment of bear permits for non resident hunters. We easily harvest the maximum amount of permitted bears each year. It is for this reason that we choose to only hunt the peak / most active times of the year. These peak time were determined through years of experience and collected data i.e., trail cameras.
Spring Season - May 1st - June 15th
We usually prefer to book clients from May 20th through to June 15th as this is the most productive time in the spring season. Prior to May 20th hunting conditions are less favorable due to our late springs and bear activity is slower than the later part of the season.
Fall season - August 15th - October 31st
In our fall season we usually prefer to book clients in the first two to three weeks of the season. Bears tend to be less active as fall progresses and tend to feed less consistently at bait stations.
