It’s not surprising that black bear hunting is so popular, second only to whitetail deer. These hunts are relatively affordable when compared to most other big game species.

Be careful though, because the hunt you book needs to be with a vetted outfitter who operates in a good area with the trophy potential you’re looking for. You also need to consider your physical condition as well as your budget. Schedule a consultation so that we can help you book the perfect black bear hunting trip.

Where to go black bear hunting depends on a number of different factors, including techniques, preference, trophy size and seasons. Many states and all of the Canadian provinces have bear seasons, each with their own pros and cons.

Do you want to hunt over bait? With dogs or spot-and-stalk? You need to also consider if you want a classic black coloration, or a “color phase” bear. Is trophy size important to you? If so, you need to hunt where big bears live.

  • Some states and provinces offer spring bear hunts where you can hunt over bait from a tree stand or blind.
  • Some states allow black bear hunting with hounds.
  • In the East, game drives are a traditional and successful method.
  • In Western regions, hunts are typically spot-and-stalk.
  • Another cool thing about black bears is that they come in a variety of color phases, and we know where to send you if that’s what you’re after.

HUNT REPORTS  |  HUNTING GALLERY  |  BOOK A HUNT

My hunt was absolutely top notch.

The outfitter is a fantastic man and incredibly hard working and knowledgeable, there is no doubt he will do everything within his power to make peoples hunts successful and enjoyable. I plan to do it again with him next year for sure.

Wade Zuver

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.

Jesse Neveau

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.
