Period: April – May Baffin island, October – November Northwest Hundson Bay.
The hunter has to cope with impossible meteorological conditions, with temperature between 30 and 40°C in Spring and frequent snow storms but the satisfaction of having the most important trophies in the world is great. In Spring the hunt is done on the ice between Baffin island and Greenland, where male bears come to mate with the females that spend the Winter on Baffin island. The hunt is done by following tracks in the snow motor sleighs and sleighs with dogs.
Once the bear is localized the dogs are freed after it so that they block it in order for the hunter to shoot. In Autumn the hunt is done from the boats, by moving from one island to another, where there is a good chance of finding the bears. Lodging is in heated tents and drinking a lot of tea is necessary. The professional guides are Eskimos, who have their own rhythm of life and hunter and the hunter has to cope with it without nagging.
This means that 5-6 hours per day are spent hunting, while the rest is spend inside the heated tents. The successful outcome of this hunt is very high, in the last ten years out of 100 licenses, 98 bears have been taken. For this hunt in Spring a sleeping bag for -40°C is necessary and very warm clothing, while in Autumn the temperature is around 0°C.
