More about us
Our company was established in 2003 and operates in 1 territory.
- We specialize in bear hunts and our customers are our #1 priority. Its more than just a hunt, we're creating memories that last a lifetime!
- I've been working in the outdoors for 40 years, first as a warden , and later as a logger. All those years in the forest has brought me in close contact with wildlife, in areas that few people ever venture into.
- For the past 20 years, I have been providing guide services in Green River Canada, the heart of black bear country. We don't hire guides from Canada we live here and guide you personally. If you need any assistance in your bow hunting equipment we can help you. Your distance varies from thirteen to seventeen yards at the bait site. You stay with us in our recently-built camp.

About this hunt
Bear hunts in the Green River area of New Brunswick . Offering small hunting groups, we are in a unique position to lead successful hunts no matter what your experience may be. Offering crossbow, bow as well as rifle, you get a wide range of hunting dates. We bait spring, summer, and fall with bait sites that have never seen a tree stand or a hunter for the last three years. Hunts are scheduled from Monday to Saturday with Sundays being arrival and departure days. Rate includes one guide for every three hunters, lodging and traveling from lodging to bait sites. The fee for a second bear is $900. A deposit of $300 in US funds is required to reserve dates. Deposits are not refundable but transferable within one year. We specialize in bow hunting but also do firearm hunting as well. Customers are a number one priority - We book less clients so we can give special attention to the ones that we are guiding, we treat them like part of the family. It's also possible to arrange hunts for Moose, Deer, Geese, Partridge and Ducks.

Great Bear Hunt
Steve Kovack is the owner of this guide service and has multiple guides that work with him. On my trip we had Gino who was an excellent and humorous guide. Prior to arriving at Bear camp Steve was available to answer all my questions in regard to logistics and equipment necessary to make my hunt much more comfortable and successful. During our hunting days Steve and Gino worked extremely hard to make sure the hunters had the best opportunity to harvest a bear. They would go out each morning and check the bait sites and the cameras and would put the hunters on the best sites for the day. Steve and Gino really care about the hunters being successful and do everything in their power to give us hunters every chance to harvest a bear. Steve works with a local butcher (Kevin) who is also a taxidermist. Kev does great work at a very affordable price. While I have been on bear hunts previously, I have never harvested a bear, and on this trip, I got two. I learned a lot about bears from Steve and Gino, which made this a fantastic and memorable trip for me.

Excellent Hunting Experience with Steve Kovack!!
I had the hunt of a lifetime with Steve Kovack Guide Service. Steve is everything you want in a guide. He was honest (kept my booking deposit and spot for two years through COVID), very friendly, extremely hard working and genuinely concerned about his hunters’ getting opportunities at bears. In addition, and as a new hunter, he took all the time necessary to talk me through a successful hunt, including how to get into a tree stand quietly and how to conduct yourself while in the tree stand in order to maximize your chances of success and the nuances of shot placement. He was also as accessible as could be prior to hunt about answering any questions I had in preparation for the hunt. Steve caters to rifle and bow hunting. While I suspect most of his customers are rifle hunters, if you happen to be a bow hunter, Steve is your guy! He has been involved in archery for a long time, owned an archery store in town and will ultimately make sure you are set-up for success with a bow. In terms of my hunt, it was picture perfect. I shot a Pope and Young black bear with my bow on the fifth night of a six-day hunt. While other hunters shot bears on the first night and onwards, this timing was great for me because I felt like I had to work for it. In addition, I preferred to spend more time hunting during the week than had I been successful on the first night. Overall, I couldn’t have written a better script for or asked for a better hunt!! Throughout the hunting week Steve worked extremely hard. He was up and out early each morning before I woke up, checking and re-baiting sites and camera SD cards. He came to pick up the hunters at lunch and was out with them until they had been dropped off back at the cottage each night at around 11pm. When I didn’t have any luck in my first stand after 3 days, he put me into another stand that had another big bear feeding at it. This was eventually the bear I shot! All in all, Steve worked so hard I felt guilty watching all the work he was doing while I was there having the hunt of a lifetime. In addition, in spending the week with him I got to see how much he genuinely worried about his hunter’s success. I have a huge amount of respect for how hard Steve worked and how stressful the job is. Steve took care of all the animal processing and has a great butcher and taxidermist he works with. On top of the hunt, the accommodations are great and the Edmunston location provides access to the Canadian wilderness and its breathtaking views. Edmunston and New Brunswick more broadly may be worth checking out after your hunt is over. Overall, it was a great experience, and I can’t recommend Steve and his guides highly enough. I am a better hunter after this trip and I learned a lot. I would happily go back, and with the upmost confidence recommend anyone go see Steve for the bear hunt of a lifetime!! Thank you, Steve! See you next time!!
It was genuinely hard to leave and go back to my life after 6 days there!
