only is there a flourishing spring season across the river; the Outaouais bear population is doing so well, they even reintroduced the fall bear hunt in that region for bow, muzzle-loader, and rifle. Take it from someone who has
gone on a spring bear adventure with one the Quebec’s reputable bruin outfitters. It is an experience you will not soon forget. For more details on bear hunting and lodging in Quebec, contact the Ministry of Tourism at 877-266-5687, or for a rundown on the seasons, bag limits and regulations pertaining to the non- resident:

are busy sharpening up their calls in time for the April 25th season
opener. By all accounts, our local gobbler population is doing just fine and most hunters should have no problem calling in a Tom. Keep in mind that, if you are successful
this spring, you must report to the MNR’s Telephone Harvest Reporting System before noon the day after your harvest. The number is 800- 288-1155. The ministry suggests you complete a short on-line questionnaire so you are prepared when you call. You will be provided with a confirmation number and should keep this number with you as proof you have registered. For more information: http://www.

this spring in your travels afield: that winter hibernation for Ursus Americana is coming to an end. During the early spring, black bears emerge from their dens hungry (and somewhat grouchy) and when berries
and other natural forage are not available, they will eat whatever they can scrounge up. In some cases, this could mean scraps of food around your campsite, so always be cautious and scrupulous about your tent area. It can be a precarious time of
year to travel in bear country, so try to be vigilant about food storage and preparation as well. Keep in mind that bears are known to have the keenest sense of smell of any animal in North America. In the event of a serious bear encounter, the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act makes provisions for residents to protect themselves and their property, although the preferred option is to have an agent live-trap and relocate any nuisance bears. More often than not, you won’t have any trouble, but knowledge is power as I always say, and being prepared for anything might be your best line of defence. For the avid trout angler looking
for a leg up on the competition this spring, Quebec’s famous Fairmont
