2x1 Fully Guided Fall Bear Hunt '26

In our biased opinion, the fall season is the best time to hunt black bear. After months of eating berries, clover and oats these bears can have upwards of 6-8 inches of fat on their backs. This prepares them for the long winter ahead. After an extended period of time out of their dens, contrary to the spring season, their fur has had ample time to grow thick and lush essentially eliminating the possibility of thin hair or rubbed out spots. The territory we hunt these trophy black bears is a NO BAITING ZONE. This contributes greatly to the healthy population of bears we have in this area as a result of no one hunting them in the spring season. A typical day in bear camp is waking up about one hour before day break, filling our coffee mugs and heading out to our favorite honey holes, sometimes being only a few minutes from camp. Waiting for daylight and legal shooting time we’ll scout the field edges trying to find a bear of interest and proceed to make a plan of attack, keeping wind direction and all variables in our favor. With the crops being so high this time of year we may even just start walking quietly along the tree line until we spot ears poking up above the oats. Once back at camp, breakfast will be served and then we’ll proceed to take photos of successful hunters with their bears from the morning or the previous evening's hunt. Followed by skinning and hide/skull preparation for your taxidermists. We clean skin, cape, and salt all hides as well as remove meat and brains from the skull for transporting purposes. After a few hours of relaxation and a hearty meal, you will head out with your guide for the evening hunt. This is when you are most likely to be successful and see a larger number of bears. You will also have the option of hunting from one of our tripod stands.
