Bear Hunting

Eastern Quebec, and more specifically the Gaspe Peninsula, is recognized as having one of the highest densities of black bear in North America. Over the past 15 or so years, our region has seen a marked increase in our bear population which has prompted our Wildlife department to increase the annual harvest of these animals.

What is the reason for the population explosion of black bear? The answer is simple. Black bear need a lot of food to satisfy their energy needs and for sustained reproduction. Over the last 30 or so years, our forestry industry has been exploiting our forests in a very aggressive manner. This in turn has given rise to younger forest growth that not only sustains our populations or bear, but also, of moose as well. Today, both species have seen a marked increase in their populations, especially with black bear, which has no given rise to a few problems in rural areas. This may be considered a big problem for local residents, but is seen as a great problem for outfitters and sportsmen! With such a high density of black bear in our area, it is no wonder that our outfitters have such an impressive success rate with their guests.
