Montana Black Bear Hunting Trips

Montana black bear hunting is some of the best in the lower 48, particularly in regions like the Yaak Valley, known for its high bear population. Hunters can pursue bears in both spring and fall seasons, using fair-chase, spot-and-stalk methods.

Spring Montana Black Bear Hunting Season

Spring black bear hunts are among the most popular offered by this hunting lodge. As bears emerge from their dens, they head to lower elevations in search of fresh grasses and clover, their primary food sources in early spring. These hunts involve traditional spot-and-stalk methods, often focusing on logging roads, open meadows, and logged areas where bears are actively feeding. Hunters can expect to cover significant ground, making these hunts perfect for those who enjoy an active pursuit in breathtaking mountain landscapes.

Fall Montana Black Bear Hunting Season

Fall Montana bear hunts provide a different but equally rewarding challenge. During this season, bears are concentrated in high basins and berry patches, where they feed heavily in preparation for winter hibernation. The spot-and-stalk approach is again employed, with hunters focusing on areas abundant with berries. Occasionally, bears on the move between feeding grounds can be intercepted, offering exciting opportunities for a successful hunt.
