Bear Down Outfitting

At Bear Down Outfitting we have two locations that we hunt out of, the lodge and the remote camp. Here in Saskatchewan, we are unable to put on a spot and stalk hunt due to the dense forest and multiple landowners. Bears are hunted over active bait sites, which enables the hunters either experienced or new, to be able to have the time and exercise good judgement when harvesting a bear. (They can be very difficult to judge). Baiting starts one month prior to the first group showing up. We have a 25% color phase population which consists of blonde, brown and cinnamon. We encourage our hunters to harvest mature boars as to keep the bear population strong for future generations of hunting.

One of our guides will escort two hunters at a time to your hunting location by ATV. Our hunts generally start around 3:00 pm as you will be in the stand until legal hunting light has diminished, which can be till 10:30 pm. We have stands that are situated for the rifle hunter or archery hunter. Rifle stands are 30-50 yard shot and the archery stands are 10-25 yards max. The majority of the stands are ladder stands which situate you 20’ off the ground. Hunters will be supplied with two-way radios as some locations have poor cellular service. In the event of a wounded animal, a very thorough recovery attempt will be made to retrieve your animal. We believe that our hunting stands are placed accordingly for each hunter and there is no need to be rushed to have accurate placement for a kill shot. With that we have implemented a rule that if blood is drawn your hunt has been completed. We understand that each and every hunt is different so the decision will be made after a recovery attempt.
