Nunavut Premium Polar Bear Hunts

ABOUT OUTFITTER:
For serious hunters seeking a true Arctic adventure, this is one of the most authentic and well-managed Polar Bear hunts available today.

This is a premium Polar Bear Hunt in Nunavut, Canada, with an endorsed Inuit Outfitter. This is a rare and tightly coordinated Polar Bear hunting opportunity, led by a highly respected Inuit outfitter—the sole owner and operator of his exclusive guiding business. With deep local roots and full control over an expansive territory, this outfitter provides a truly authentic, ethical, and well-managed hunt in one of the most remote and pristine regions of the Canadian Arctic. This operation emphasizes ethical hunting, traditional knowledge, and exceptional client care. With only two hunts per year, each experience is highly personalized and deeply rooted in Inuit tradition and Arctic knowledge. The outfitter has taken many Polar Bears, underscoring their expertise and firsthand experience. They maintain a 100% success rate, and the largest bear taken measured 11 feet.

HUNT DETAILS:
The hunting territory spans over 1,000 kilometers of terrain, ranging from Arctic Bay to the inland flowage areas, south of the border, and even across from Somerset Island. The primary focus is on the flowage zones, known for producing larger mature boars. Another productive region further south features heavy pressure ridges and active seal pup dens, drawing in high numbers of bears. This outfitter has coordinated access to the entire surrounding region, ensuring exclusive use and minimal outside pressure. All of the sea ice is used by hunters, but when there's a sport hunt happening, all of the locals stay away from the outfitter's area until you have harvested a bear.

The primary focus of this hunt is Polar Bear, offered exclusively as a spring hunt from February through June. The most productive months are March and April, with March providing colder, more traditional Arctic conditions ideal for tracking mature boars. Each hunt is fully guided and spans 10 days, with the option to extend for an additional daily fee. To ensure the highest quality experience and uphold conservation standards, the outfitter conducts no more than two Polar Bear hunts per year. Transportation during the hunt is by snowmobile and traditional Inuit dog team, utilizing 8 well-cared-for dogs from a healthy 12-dog kennel, allowing access to remote ice flowage and prime bear country.

ACCOMMODATIONS:
Accommodations during the hunt are primarily in Arctic Oven tents, high-quality, cold-rated shelters sourced from Alaska and well-suited for extreme Arctic conditions. Depending on weather and location, cabins may occasionally be used for added comfort. The camp setup is traditional—no cots are provided, but insulated ground systems ensure warmth and rest. For those seeking an added touch of authenticity and practicality, custom-made parkas and mitts can be arranged, handcrafted locally by either the outfitter’s wife or skilled Inuit artisans.

LICENSE INFORMATION:
Licenses and tags are acquired upon arrival and the outfitter will assist all clients.
