What To Expect on Your Hunting Trip
Hound hunts demand physical fitness, with spring hunts focusing on tracking bears post-hibernation and can involve significant hiking. Late spring and fall hunts utilize vehicle-based tracking for efficiency. Bait hunts, offered in the summer, require fewer points and offer a less physically demanding option, with guides setting up bait stations ahead of time. Regardless of the method, hunters can anticipate engaging in hunts that require both strategy and physical preparedness. Our bears typically measure 6 ½ to 7 ½ feet, with skulls scoring 18” to 22”, showcasing the potential for trophy-quality captures.
