This hunt is operated by the only outfitter on 40 miles of the Peace River, where he offers a hunt from a new lodge. All his hunters since 2004 have filled their tags except for the odd hunter who just wanted to shoot one bear. He said he never sees any local hunters. You'll move by 16-foot boat to your bait site. Sizes are typically six feet on up, including a few record-class animals. He likes to take bowhunters. Hunting begins in May and runs through the first half of June.

Trophies |
| 100% since 2004 on two bears per hunter except for the odd hunter who wanted just one bear. In 2006, for example, 8 hunters shot 15 bears, and the eight hunter took one and didn't want another. Only four hunters booked in 2007 due to a price increase dictated by a rise in gasoline costs. |
This hunt produces bears typically measuring six to seven feet square. The biggest bears so far have had large enough skulls to make the Boone and Crockett record book. Selective bowhunters have a good chance of taking a Pope and Young quality animal. |
