Black Bear
Black bears are remarkable and challenging big game animals, and the
spring bear hunt is a thrilling and rewarding venture that every hunter
should experience. Quebec leads the Canadian provinces for serious bear
hunters looking for a superior spring hunt.

in our territory for that premier trophy
black bear. You will not experience hunters coming in from all directions,
we know who is in our territory and where they are. To add to the experience
we have comfortable cabins, exceptional scenery and excellent fishing.
Technique

blinds overlooking baited sites, it is recommended that you bring your
own stand. All hunters, guides and persons accompanying them must wear
a fluorescent orange vest or jacket that is visible from the front,
back and sides. The vest or jacket must cover the wearer's back, shoulders

Hunting License
To hunt, a person must hold and carry an appropriate hunting licence.
A hunting licence is personal. The issuer and the licence holder must
sign every hunting licence. Dumoine Lake Cottages pricing does not
include hunting licenses.
To obtain a hunting licence for resident, Quebec residents must hold
a valid hunter's certificate bearing the code corresponding to the hunting
weapon they intend to use. To obtain a non-resident's hunting licence,
a person must be a non-resident and be at least 12 years of age. Non-residents
must use at least two of the services provided by an outfitter, including
lodging.
Bow hunting is permitted in Quebec subject to the same regulations
as hunting with a firearm. Hunting licences are available from agents
who sell licences: they generally include sporting goods, hardware or
convenience stores. Licences expire at the end of the hunting season

tag has been removed

Tagging
Any hunter who has killed a black bear must immediately detach the
appropriate transportation tag from
his or her license and affix it to the animal. The tag must remain attached
throughout the registration process and until the animal has been dressed
and stored.
Exporting Black Bear
In addition to respecting the regulations set out by the Sport Hunting in Quebec non-residents must register any big game kills
at a registration office before leaving Quebec. The punched transportation
tag serves as the official document authorizing the transport of black
bear, in whole or in part (including fur), outside Quebec.
As black bears are protected under the Convention
on International Trade in
Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), a CITES permit
is not required for a Canadian or American resident who is exporting,
in his or her personal accompanied baggage, a fresh, frozen or salted
black bear carcass (or parts thereof) acquired and possessed through
legal hunting. If the bear or its parts are mounted, processed or otherwise
preserved by a person other than the hunter who killed the animal, then
a CITES permit is required.
