Patience is a virtue when hunting and Black Bear is no different. The Black Bears approach will be agonizingly slow to the bait. Though their eye site is comparable to humans the Black Bear has a highly developed sense of hearing and smell. They can smell food from 1 mile away, and move with blinding speed. Typically, sows weigh from 100 to 400 pounds while boars weigh from 250 to more than 600 pounds. Hunting starts mid August when berries ripen and ends October 31st in our area. We welcome non-resident hunters to come and see what legends are waiting for you.
Bear hunting takes place in our Exclusive Bear Management Unit, over 300 sq. miles of prime bear habitat. We use some lake baits but mainly baits accessible by logging roads. You will need to supply your own truck or we suggest bringing an ATV. Assistance of transportation can be arranged. Hunting is done from portable and permanent tree stands. At current we host 55 stands for 12-15 hunters.
Bow stands (11 to 23 yd shots). Rifle or shotgun (35 to 80 yd shots). If you bring portable tree stands, they are your responsibility. We bait at least 3 weeks prior to your arrival. We continue to do all the baiting and monitor each of our stands activities for the season. We are attention to detail.
Please bring warm clothing, insect repellent, flashlight, rain gear, compass or GPS, hunting boots and coolers for meat and hide. Your State Hunting Licence or proof of a Hunting Safety Course is necessary. We will send US Hunters the proper paper work to bring your firearms across the border.
