Agassiz Outfitters offers Spring and Fall Manitoba black bear hunts with a rifle, muzzle, shotgun, crossbow or bow. Our untouched and remote wilderness Manitoba black bear hunts are done in over 3000 square miles of some of the most remote areas the Northern Interlake Region has to offer, with most areas never being hunted! Every year bears over 21" B & C and over 600 lbs. are harvested due to the vast wilderness in this area and low to no pressure! The black bear hunting in the Northern Interlake Region has been considered as one of the top destinations in the world for size, numbers and color phase black bears as featured on numerous Outdoor T.V. shows and Bear Hunting Magazine.
Our Spring and Fall Manitoba Black Bear hunts located in this world class hunting hot spot of the Northern Interlake Region are second to none. Bear numbers are extremely high in this part of Manitoba, Canada, as many hunters see and witness high numbers of bears at the bait sites. These bear hunts can be arranged at our main lodge which is road accessible with private cabins on a remote lake, wood heat, separate washroom/shower building and Lodge with dining room/with deck overlooking the lake and a screened in gazebo. Unlike most areas, our walleye and northern pike fishing can be second to none and can be done when the black bear hunting is complete. An added bonus to your hunting trip is the good chance of taking a shot at a timber wolf or coyote with your unused big game tag in the fall only.
All bear hunts are 6 day hunts, beginning on a Monday and ending on the following Saturday. With our excellent success, great rates and family packages (Discount for youth hunters 12-17) , we know you'll experience a trip of a lifetime in beautiful Manitoba, Canada.

Harvesting a black bear is extremely special, so choosing the right mount is very important.
Before you actually harvest your bear, a little thought should be given as to what you will do with it, once you have it. The most common choice of course is a rug, but full mounts, 1/2 mounts and head mounts are also very popular. One of the most common concerns is where to put your trophy. An average 5' bear will make a rug 5' by 5 1/2', a large 7' bear makes a rug 7' by 8', which needs quite a lot of wall space. A full body bear mount usually only takes up 2 1/2' by 5' of floor space. Half mounts are usually hung on the wall, and take up no more room than a large deer head. Fur quality should also be considered when making a decision. Early spring, or late fall bears make excellent rugs, while bears with rub spots may look better as a 1/2 mount.

Our hunts are fair-chase and are hunts, not kills. You will get an opportunity to hunt in a part of the world very few people get a chance to experience. We will do our best to give you a hunt that not only is successful but allows you to truly enjoy these areas.
Hunting up here means you have to be ready for anything. You could see that trophy the very first day or the very last second of your last day. Your shot opportunity could last two seconds or two minutes. We suggest you familiarize yourself with gauging a quality animal BEFORE you get here, so you know the type of animal you want to take (a good reference book is the Boone & Crockett Club’s record book with photos, our brochure and our web page). The wounding of a big game animal is unfortunate and usually avoidable. It is your responsibility as hunters to practice with your weapon of choice long before the hunt commences and make sound decisions on making an ethical shot. If you have any questions regarding sizing and judging the animals you are hunting, we will go over it with you at Camp before you start your hunt.
Once a hunter has shot at a moose/bear/deer, that part of the hunt is deemed successful unless it is absolutely clear that the animal wasn’t wounded. Every attempt will be made to recover wounded animals. How to judge black bears(boars/sows), size, etc. and proper shot placement will be gone over at camp prior to your hunt to ensure your success.
