Black Bear
Perhaps no other animal has so excited the human imagination as the black bear. Bears have fascinated many of us for centuries, with their keen senses and great survival skills which earns them the title of one of the most adaptive and versatile mammals on Earth. The black bear’s behavior has the ability to stir fear, awe, wonder and curiosity within us all.
To ensure a higher quality hunt we here at Labrador Caribou Outfitters keep our hunting parties to a maximum of six to eight hunters per hunt. We welcome both archery and rifle hunters. Our hunts take place over bait, from tree stands or ground blinds which offer 15 to 35 yard shots.
Along with Labrador’s unspoiled and uncrowded vastness, the hunting area that we have to offer to you contains a large number of black bear and truly a highly desirable area to hunt.
