Dan Szafranski: British Columbia Black Bear Hunt Report

HUNT: British Columbia Black Bear Hunt
CONSULTANT: Outdoors International

May, 2018

In my opinion all aspects of my British Columbia black bear hunt were met or exceeded, and I would definitely recommend this outfitter to other black bear hunters using either bows or rifles. My plan will be to return when possible.

Upon our arrival into Prince George, British Columbia it was nice to be met at the airport and driven directly to the lodge. Jeff and Lana were very helpful with any of our needs which were few due to the fact that camp was we’ll supplied. The guides were knowledgeable and very understanding and helped us prepare for the hunt. While we were not used to the late day hunt start time (4:00 pm) they most certainly knew the bears routine as we saw several each day with the only exception being the first day.

My stalk was over 30 minutes with Ryan our guide seemly instructing me correctly at every turn, I was able to take a nice bear. Ryan took good care of the hide and meat and also Jeff was able to setup taxidermy services which will get my trophy sent directly to my home.

Thank you Outdoors International!

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren't applying for the OI Draws, you should. They're legit!

We won this fully guided, all-inclusive New Zealand red stag hunt in the OI Draw! I highly recommend this hunt, and Outdoors International—fantastic company, amazing meals, and hunts that are second to none.

My most memorable and rewarding experience.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International.
