Why Five Mile Lake Lodge is Well Known for Bear Hunts
• Healthy Bear Population: We operate on nearly 600 square miles of private and crown land, sustaining a robust population of mature bears.
• Refined Techniques: Success is attributed to advanced bear baiting methods, adapted to changing environments. Game cameras at each bait and daily checks help maximize hunting efficiency and focus on harvesting the largest male bears available.
• High Success Rate: These methods have resulted in a success rate well above 90%. Bait stations are set up to accommodate any weapon, including archery.
• Daily Support: Unlike many outfitters, we conduct daily bait checks, making strategic decisions to improve your chances. Hunters can access baits by side-by-side vehicles, boat, or pickup truck, with staff assisting throughout the hunt.
• Communication & Retrieval: Hunters are provided with communication devices (inreach or satellite phone) for safety and quick retrieval of harvested bears.
• Processing & Storage: After a successful hunt, staff assist with skinning and processing the bear for travel. Freezer space is available for storage during your stay.
