All Manitoba black bear hunts will take place on the fringe of the Riding Mountain National Park, this alone should tell you that you are in an area that boosts some of the largest Black Bears in Canada. To top it off this area of Manitoba has some of the most significant black bear color phases. It's not uncommon to see all color phases (brown, cinnamon, chocolate and blonde) throughout your bear hunt.
