About this hunt

Black Bear Hunting In Idaho, black bear hunting season begins on 15 April, but we do not open our camp until mid-May due to snow conditions restricting access to our black bear hunting areas. Our 5-day black bear hunting trips are over baited sites. We get our bear bait from our friends at Master-Bait Wild, which truly brings in hungry black bears when they wake up from their long winter hibernation. Hunters have their choice of double-man tree stands or ground blinds, which are set up for both archery and rifle hunters. In our hunting units, hunters have the opportunity to take two bears, which also means your Black Bear Hunting tags are reduced! In Idaho, black bears have four color phases. In our area, we have seen black, cinnamon, brown, and blonde bears. Our black bear hunting packages are provided on a first-come / first-serve basis. Clients will be provided transportation to and from Spokane International Airport to the camping location, if required, at no extra cost. Once at the camping location, they will receive full-service camping accommodations, which will include hot meals, shower facilities, as well as tents with cots and heaters.

Where you will hunt

Territory

Our hunting area is not as rugged as Montana or Colorado. Most of our big game hunting trips occur between 4,000 and 5,500 feet. The terrain is still steep and requires hunters to be in shape. Working out before your big game hunt is vital and can increase the probability of a successful hunt.
Fence type: Not fenced
Territory size: 165 sq miles

Where you will stay

Camp
