Bear Hunting
Our spring black bear hunts are nothing short of unforgettable. Running from May 1 to June 15, these hunts offer multiple methods—spot and stalk, hunting over bait, hound hunting, or a combination of all three. Thanks to Idaho’s baiting regulations and the region’s genetics, hunters enjoy a high success rate and a chance at beautiful color-phase bears with thick coats. With over 600 square miles of remote, lightly hunted territory and several unique camp options, we deliver a thrilling and rewarding bear hunting experience.
