Paul Julander: Arizona Black Bear Hunt Report

HUNT: Arizona Black Bear Hunt
CONSULTANT: Patrick Kissel | Outdoors International

August, 2020

My son and I booked a black bear hunt in Arizona for August 2020. Leading up to hunt our outfitter and guide was responsive to calls and text messages, I found it comforting that I was speaking with the actual guy I would be hunting with.

Our outfitter was prepared and had clearly done scouting and knew the area well. We treed a small sow on the first day that we elected to pass on. The houndsman’s dogs are excellent caliber and awesome at what they do. On day three we chased a great boar and harvested him later that day. Great hunt and would not hesitate to hunt with this outfitter again or recommend him.

Thank you Outdoors International!

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren't applying for the OI Draws, you should. They're legit!

I couldn't believe we won!

We won this fully guided, all-inclusive New Zealand red stag hunt in the OI Draw! I highly recommend this hunt, and Outdoors International—fantastic company, amazing meals, and hunts that are second to none.

My most memorable and rewarding experience.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International.
