Spring Black Bear

If you’re looking for one of the under rated, best valued, but that true Wild West Experience then this hunt should be near the top of your bucket list. Black Bears generally have poor eyesight, however they make up for it with great hearing and an unbelievable sense of smell, making it tough to get close to begin with, then add in the fact that when the moment arrives, your heart’ll be beating out your chest!

Our Spring Bear Hunts take place either within the Bitterroot National Forest or on the Crow Indian Reservation. These can be a physically demanding hunt at times. The terrain varies greatly throughout the entire valley, from rolling foot hills and flat meandering logging roads, all the way up to some of the steepest and rocky avalanche chutes or a high mountain basin. Spring is a great time to be in the mountains, the landscape literally comes alive with all the new green grasses and wildflowers, not to mention it's an excellent time to get out and stretch those legs after a long winter off from hunting and activities. Like us, these bears take full advantage of the warmth and fresh new green food sources that can be found.

Our typical day starts early in the morning, either still hunting old logging roads or ridges above lush creek bottoms or natural clearings filled with grasses. Later in the afternoon's we like to set up on a vantage point that allows us cover a lot of ground with our optics, once a bear is spotted then the race is on to cut the distance. Bears are notoriously unpredictable, you never know what the are going to do next or how quickly they change course. Because of this we try to get into position quickly to minimize the chance of the bear feeding into the timber before we get there.
