planning a NWT bear hunt

[brybenn]

I do have a uncle that lives in bc. What exactly is a hunter host? Is that just a licensed resident that you hunt with?

Yes and from what I have been told from three local boys here that went up this year past to hunt is that you truely get what you pay for up there.
They put out quite a bit of cash and their guide was terrible. Came home empty handed. Like they said they understand no guide can garantee a kill but he should be able to remember when you are arriving and at least be home, rather than two days later.
Nothing was ready for them and they were set up in the same exact spots for a week with nothing around. They are going back to new brunswick this spring where they found a top rated outfitter a few years back and they get a few black bears there.

Who was it that they hunted with?

I didnt' think hunters went all the way up to NWT to hunt black bears ? When I think NWT I think Caribou, at least that's what I would be looking for.

Outfitted hunts for Black Bear, Polar Bear, Musk-Ox, Wolf, Wolverine, Mt. Bou, AY Moose, Barrenground Grizz, Dall Sheep....and the fishing's not bad

I believe there are tags out of several communities including Paulatuk/Tuk. We also have 2 tags out of Bathurst Inlet although that is just across the border in Nunavut....the hunt originates out of YK.

I specified Barrenground Grizz.....Non-residents can't hunt grizz in the mts although residents get their "once in a lifetime" tag specifically for the mts. A resident can not shoot a Central Barrenground Grizz unless it's destroying property or a threat to life (or he pays the $12G for a guided hunt).

ps...I should have added "Polar/Grizz crosses" as well lol.
