    Re: Questions on Grizzly Hunting on the central coast

    IIRC the Great Bear Rainforest is the entire coast of BC from Van Isle to Alaska. A great political name that generated huge dollars from the antis to support "Protecting" these areas.

    Bring your Chequebook......GO hunts for Coastal Brownies aren't cheap, there are NO "good rates" here or Alaska

    If your a BC resident apply for an LEH and well.....wait the rest of your life for a chance

    Until then, it's just a name made up by anti hunting groups to try to curtail hunting in the area.

    I've never heard a legitimate hunter use the term "GBRF"

    That is my point.

    All may not be lost. A gentleman by the name of Alex Mota may have a spot available for you. Might even be able to get you one of them "Great Bears" the "Rain Forest" is named after as well as a grizzly. I hear his prices are reasonable. Worth checking out.

    First off, does anyone know some good hunting outfitters in this area that offer good rates & hunts?
    I've heard that grizzly hunting in this area is often better than in the interior, true? pros cons of GBR vs. other areas in BC...?
    really appreciate any info on this,
    Thanks!

    Re: Questions on Grizzly Hunting on the central coast

    hmmm there are good guides on the coast and they charge a ridiculous $$$$ however you should see bears...,,

    The coast has SPECIAL advantages of hunting bear there many MORE BEARS, BIGGER BEARS, bigger skulls for record ranking,,higher concentrations, arguably better tolerent of each other and man, with one exception and that valley is probably not a good idea to sleep onshore in a tent......

    The hunting is more defined and bears move over 40 kilometers for the food resources...hence the bears do come to you..

    Been on 16 coastal rivers seeing grizzlies over 30 years... wonderful experiences each and every one..best day over 20 grizzlies in 1 day

    On the minus side the hides are predictably shorter hair with the very exceptional one being black ..and these seem to be genetically bigger..at leats 100% of the ones Ive personally seen have been..each one has been a TANK..biggest bear Ive seen would square 10 feet...biggest Ive been priveleged to be in on squared over 9'

    Prettiest bear was Robs bear ..he actually harvested a silvertip-blond bear on the coast...a beautiful bear...


    Nothing like catching some fresh prawns,, some halibut and crabs..having a big seafood supper after a day of watching coastal grizzly after coastal grizzly waiting for THE PERFECT BEAR..then to drift off to sleep rocked gently by the ocean tides currents and waves..


    cheers

    Steven

    i guess due to access that place does not see too much hunting pressure.
