The helicopter was supposed to be going to the Mother Cubs area but you are so high you dont see anything and you cant land of course. A bit of a bust. Good hype but no substance.

Night tundra tour saw nothing.

It was really too cold to do the dog sledding. The overcast day we arrived was not as cold and dog sledding would have been okay then. The other days it was sunny and colder.

We saw tons of bears. Probably some of the same bears again and again but what did we know! These bears are not in danger as bears in other regions are at this time. We saw plenty of mothers and cubs to attest to that fact and lots of adolescents.

The timing is getting a little later. They are looking at starting the season on the 16th October range and ending it the 20th of November. Just over four weeks. Of course different operators may do different timing. The time we were there was perfect. A lot of bears had come in and the ice was starting to form on the Hudson Bay. If they had a week of really cold weather the bears would be gone. The prime time is in the middle of the 4 week season. LATE October or EARLY November.
