Baited Black Bear Hunts

We hunt black bears in a remote hunting area where bears have never been hunted by outfitters before.  Due to the remoteness, lack of local hunting pressure and a carefully managed harvest, many bears in my area live to the age needed to produce Pope and Young and Boone and Crockett class trophies and weigh between 400 and 500 lbs. 
 

The majority of the bears taken in the area are black and black with a white V on the chest. Color phase bears are more common in some areas than others and make up approximately 25% of the population. Color phase bears include, blonde, cinnamon, brown, and red.   

Bear hunting is all we do and because of this we put a lot of effort into setting up baits, preparing stands, and keeping track of the big bears on trail cams.  Past success for the last several years are close to 200% success rate with over 60% of bears taken qualifying for Pope and Young and 6' or better on the square. Everybody has had a 100% opportunity on their first bear and approximately 90% on the second bear.
