Guided Black Bear Hunting in
British Columbia
Fawnie Mountain Outfitters
Our
area has a very good reputation for large black bears
- the one time Pope & Young record for the province was
killed here. Our hunts are similar to the Vancouver Island
black bear hunts, producing similar size bears with excellent
coats due the colder winters. As licensed BC guides and
outfitters, Fawnie Mountain Outfitters offer a variety
of big game opportunities in the Chilcotin wilderness
of British Columbia. Our bears come in a variety of colours
- black, brown and blond, with black and brown as the
most common.
Our guides drive a 4x4 pickup truck to feeding areas,
glassing, spot and stalk. The bears are fresh from hibernation,
and their choice of feed in the area is green shoots,
clover, and dandelions. With our camps on lakes with floatplane
access, we are able to pick up hides soon after the kills,
so that we can freeze them without any danger of spoilage.
Rainbow trout are plentiful at the camp and at the lodge.
By now you have probably investigated several Canadian
bear hunts, ranging in price from $2,500 for the baited
tree stand hunts to $9,000 for a 2 bear hunt on Vancouver
Island. The Fawnie Mountain hunt is for the hunter that
wants super guides, big bears, quality food and accommodations,
many great memories, all at a reasonable price.

Your
hosts, the Blackwells have owned and operated this business
for 39 years. Some of the guides have been guiding here
12 years, some 10 years, etc. There is a sense of competition
among the guides to find the biggest bears. The organization
knows how to produce a quality hunting experience for
trophy animals.
