A total of 73 licences will be issued for this spring’s hunt. As all hunters know, these licences provide hunting opportunities only. Only a fraction of hunters are expected to be successful in harvesting a bear—it’s hard to find them at any time.
In recent years the harvest has averaged around 14-15 bears, with 100 or more permits made available. This year, the season is two weeks shorter in most areas, to reduce the likelihood of female mortalities. For information on applying for draws, visit the Hunter Information page.
