Охота на Прибрежного Барибала

Coastal Black Bear refers to populations of the American black bear that inhabit the Pacific Coast of the USA and Canada. With an additional food source in the form of salmon runs, black bears of the area often reach impressive size. In addition, Pacific populations are believed to have a higher proportion of color phase animals, with brown, chocolate, cinnamon, red, or blonde, rather than black, skin color. The most famous of them are the Glacier Bear, a rare bluish-gray color phase found in Alaska, and the all-white Kermode Bear that occurs on several islands in coastal British Columbia. It’s Alaska and British Columbia where you book your hunt for the Coastal Black Bear.

A wide variety of methods are employed for Black Bear hunting, depending on the terrain of the region and the regulations of the state or province. But Coastal Black Bear hunting in most cases is done by spot-and-stalk. In the spring season hunters glass the open sunny slopes or coastlines where bears forage for food. In the fall season they may use the traditional Brown Bear hunting method of still-hunting along a salmon run river. In some areas the guides cruise the coast on motor boats and skiffs, scanning the area for bears. Once a trophy bear is located, the hunters land and stalk it. The common denominator for these hunts is that, in contrast to many other black bear hunts, you may need to take the shot at long range. Contact your outfitter to inquire about expected shot distances, and choose your weapon accordingly.
