Bring Black Bear Back

[Graham Hunter]

That's interesting...I hunted SK this spring and the guide said to be sure and have my WiN number so he could get my license. I got it and he got my license. Not sure of what is required...do your research.

Well Chile my research is done
I have been a resident in both Provinces for longer than you've been around. Wildlife identification number WIN is Alberta. Hunter Angling License HAL is Saskatchewan . You might want to pull your horns in before you accuse a fellow AH Member of not doing research.

Graham you totally misconstrued my post. It wasn’t directed at anyone other than to say there are some different regs up north than we are used to in the US. You weren’t on my mind even 1% as I posted it.

When they ask “do you have anything to declare?” Say “no” …I’ve yet to run into an issue with this method, but my house is 15 minutes from the border

Hey all, friend of mine is doing a bow black bear hunt in Saskatchewan next year. Can he bring his pelt and bear meat back across country lines into the US?

Absolutely. I flew mine back last September. Hunted in Saskatchewan, flew out of Edmonton Alberta. The customs agents in the airport (same group as who you will see at the border for driving), just had me fill out a form and our Outfitter had given us all the info we would need.

As a matter of fact, I just got my rug back from taxidermist last week.

Nice bear and great hide condition. What did the skull measure?

Just hunted last Aug in Ontario. Here is my hunt report:

Roughly 1/2 of a 4 or 5 gallon pail for the amount of bait used each time. I agree each day would provide more consistency. Perhaps I misunderstood what they did before I arrived. We took fresh bait to the stand each time we went out hunting.

Brought bear hide skull and meat back without issues.

I didn't measure. He wasn't huge, around 250# live weight. The hide, as you mentioned, was great with good thick fur all over. Made a great rug.
