Why Manitoba
Manitoba has a reputation for producing extremely large black bears. Besides Toledo-popping fall weights, black bears in the heart of Canada have the skulls to match their weight. One look through the record books and it isn’t hard to tell that Manitoba has the genetics for producing bears that hunters usually only dream of finding.
How Big?
Areas adjacent to Riding Mountain National Park have long been known for producing big black bears. Hunters around the park have historically harvested huge bears that frequent the vast tracts of mixed forest and agriculture lands. June 25th, 1987 may seem like a long time ago, but the information gathered on that day is relevant to potential black bear hunters. A large male black bear was captured in the park, and it officially weighed in at 430 pounds. The boar was fitted with a radio collar and captured again on September 9th, 1987. The same bear was weighed again, and in just 65 days it tipped the scale to 803 pounds. The bear can only be described as an eating machine, gaining close to five pounds per day. It would be interesting to know what the bear weighed when it went into hibernation later that fall.
The big, old bear may have had the protection of a national park to grow excessively large, but most of Manitoba’s wilderness and fringe land areas offer prime black bear habitat and big bears. Black bear boars have huge home ranges and often cover up to 100 square miles in search of sows and their seasonal diet preferences. Any outfitter set up adjacent to wilderness area can have a steady supply of mature old bears that have never encountered a hunter.
Color
Although the name implies that bears are black, they do come in many color phases. It is generally noted that eastern Manitoba produces a high number of strictly black color-phase bears. The further west you go in the province the higher the percentage of color-phase bears, including blonde, brown, cinnamon, and even gray or near white bears. The Interlake Region, Parkland Region and western stretches along the Saskatchewan border are areas to target when looking for an increased opportunity to harvest a uniquely colored bruin.
