HUNT REPORT
HUNTER: Mark Wood
HUNT: White Mountain Apache Black Bear Hunt in Arizona
May 2018
The Arizona outfitter, Mike and Layne were my guides. They showed me 13 black bears in 3 days. Many were very good to extremely good record book bears. On the third day Mike and Layne showed me several huge bears. One cinnamon with a massive head. They told me to hold out for better.
Later that day they both spotted an even bigger pure black bear. They confirmed its status as a boar and gave me the green light. I then had the bear of my dreams. It made the Boone and Crockett record book. All camp accommodations were excellent with comfortable tents, chairs and good food. They really took great care of my bear.
I highly recommend this hunt!

Our hunt was excellent.
We saw bucks every day along with all other sorts of wildlife. Mountain goats, bears, and foxes were common sights. Fishing and crabbing was special bonus. The food was excellent, the crew was amazing. Outdoors International did a great job of finding exactly what we were looking for.

What an amazing experience!
The hunting lodge was out of this world!, Rooms, food and the scenery were all A+. Our guide was exceptional and had us on Shiras moose all five days. We saw over 30 total with at least 10 bulls. They had a plan for everything including taxidermy and game processing.
