Arizona White Mountain Apache Reservation Bear Hunt Report by Mark Wood

Hunter: Mark Wood
Date: May 2018
Trip Taken: White Mountain Apache Black Bear Hunt in Arizona

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!
