About this hunt

**GUIDED BLACK BEAR HUNTS** There’s nothing quite like hunting black bear\. The anticipation, the country, the uncertainty, and knowing that at any moment one of North America’s most impressive big\-game animals could step into view makes every minute an experience you won’t forget\. Our guided bear hunts are built around preparation, hard work, knowledge of the land, and giving every hunter an authentic opportunity to pursue a mature black bear\. Our hunts begin long before you arrive\. We spend time scouting proven bear habitat, locating fresh sign, studying travel corridors and feeding areas, monitoring activity, and adjusting our strategy as conditions change\. When you step into the woods with us, you can be confident we’ve already put in the work\. Before each hunt, your guide will go over safety, weather, current bear activity, and the day’s plan\. We’ll get you positioned where scouting and conditions give you the best opportunity possible\. From there, patience takes over\. A quiet woods can change in seconds when that black shape suddenly appears through the timber\. After a successful shot, our job isn’t finished\. Our team will assist with tracking, recovery, and getting your bear out of the woods\. We don’t promise every hunter a harvest—this is fair\-chase hunting, and wild animals make no guarantees\. What we do promise is effort\. We scout, prepare, adapt, and do everything legally and ethically possible to put you in position for success\. For us, hunting is about more than filling a tag\. It’s about **faith, family, conservation, respect for the animal, and appreciation for the outdoors God has given us\.**

Recommendations:
Lodging, Accommodations & Dining We want your hunting trip to be about more than just the time spent in the woods. We can help make your entire stay as convenient and comfortable as possible, from lodging to meals and everything in between. Cabin Accommodations – Deposit, NY For hunters looking for a more traditional hunting-camp experience, we have access to cabins in the Deposit, New York area. These accommodations put hunters close to the areas we hunt while providing a comfortable place to relax, recharge, and prepare for the next day’s adventure. Cabin availability can vary depending on hunting season and the size of your group, so we recommend discussing lodging with us when booking your hunt. Discounted Hotel Options – Hancock, NY For hunters who prefer hotel accommodations, we also work with hotel options in the Hancock, New York area where discounted rates may be available for our clients. Hancock is conveniently located for many of our hunting opportunities and provides easy access to restaurants, stores, fuel, and other necessities during your stay. Our goal is to make traveling hunters feel taken care of from the time they arrive until the time they head home. Food & Dining There are also several restaurants and dining options throughout the Deposit and Hancock areas. Whether you’re looking for an early breakfast before heading into the woods, a quick lunch between hunts, or a hot sit-down meal after a long day, we can help point you toward local options. Depending on the hunt schedule, we can provide recommendations and help clients plan meals around morning and evening hunting times. Make It a Complete Hunting Trip When you book with us, you’re not simply booking a guided hunt. We want to help you put together the entire experience. From cabins and discounted hotel accommodations to local dining recommendations, we’ll help take some of the stress out of planning so you can concentrate on what you came for—the hunt.
