The area is not only abundant in wild game such as Moose, Deer, Bear, Ducks, Geese, and small game, the area is also noted for a herd of Elk that was re-located from Elk Island Park in Alberta to the Gin Lake area nearby. There will be many photo opportunities, so don’t forget your camera.

Upon your arrival at Artic-Edge Outfitters located at Tanglewood Marina, (www.tanglewoodmarina.ca) we will get you settled in to your accommodations then start to prepare you for your Bear Hunt. Dispersed throughout our Bear Management Area (BMA) are bait locations strategically located to provide you the greatest opportunity to harvest a Bear.

Artic-Edge Outfitters has the capability of providing a service to suit your needs. Everything from the first time hunter, to the person who wants a total package put together for him or her. We can offer everything from a “Basic” guided bow hunt package to a “Fully Guided” Bear bow hunt, where the guide will stay with you throughout your stay.

We also offer a “Deluxe” Bear hunt package where we provide and arrange everything for you. (Food, Guides, Bait Sites, Camp Cook and Accommodations ). We would have an individual in the camp to do all the chores while your total focus would be to harvest a Bear. While we do not guarantee a harvest, we will and do guarantee a quality experience.

Tanglewood Marina is able to provide the best accommodations available in the area with all the cabins being “Housekeeping Cabins” with comfortable beds and “HOT” showers. We can also provide an “OUTPOST” facility, located on a Lake stocked with Speckle Trout, with the capability of accommodating 10 to 12 Bow hunters.

We start to bait the sites approximately six weeks prior to the opening and continue to bait the sites each day during the bow hunt. For the duration of your hunt, you will be more than welcome to assist us daily while we bait and monitor the Bear activity at your stand. Most of the time, we hunt in the evenings only and we like to get you to your tree-stand by late afternoon. This will give you 3 to 4 hours of hunting time. The majority of our baits are accessible by truck and the trails to the bait sites are well marked with colored tape. We encourage are hunters to bring their ATV/Quad’s for transportation to and from the bait site. There are a few sites that are accessible by ATV/4x4 only.

We do believe in the “Buddy” system when we are hunting for Bears and most of the bait locations will have a suggested location to install two self climber style tree stands or portable style ladder tree stands. We have a number of locations where we have built-in tree stands that can accommodate up to three hunters.

If you are successful in harvesting your Bear, we will retrieve, field dress, skin and prepare the meat in the proper manner to place in the cooler/freezer provided. Arrangements can be made at a local abattoir to cut and wrap your meat and a taxidermist to prepare your Bear mount or Bear rug.
