Working hard to provide active baits for each individual hunter is how we
operate our hunts, and is what keeps our sportsmen coming back year after
year. We have a very large bear hunt area surrounding our resort with a
good healthy bear population due to years of black bear management.
Although the bear hunt at Wawang Lake Resort is not a guaranteed hunt, we
can say that there is a 98% chance of you seeing bear, therefore what the
hunter does with this opportunity is entirely up to him.
However, you can be certain that we take our hunts seriously and
will always provide you with the best possible chance of success.
Our hunts
usually begin the Saturday of Labor Day weekend and continue for two
weeks. Since we have consistently managed our bear population for
several years we determine the number of hunters we will take according to
the bear population we observe the previous year. Therefore we do
not take reservations for more than two years in advance. Check our References
What We Need to Know
We need to know what type of weapon each member in the hunt party will
be hunting with and whether they will be hunting from tree stand or would
prefer a ground stand. Providing us with the name, address and phone
number of each hunter in the hunt party either at the time of booking with
us, or, when sending the deposits, will accelerate the time it takes for
us to fill out forms upon your arrival and get you out to the bait stands
sooner.
Days to Hunt
Arrive Saturday and depart the following Saturday
Transportation Requirements
Since most of our baits are very remote groups should anticipate driving
their members to and from the sites. Most of our baits are road
access and we provide private areas for each hunting group so that
dropping members off and picking them up will be systematic and easy.
Also, you can anticipate that no one else will be hunting in your
area during the week of your hunt. Subsequently, what we provide for you is an
area exclusively for your hunt group.
