Baited Hunts

Baited hunts are ideal for hunters of all experience levels and are particularly well-suited for archers and those seeking a focused, close-range opportunity.

Baiting is by far the most popular way of hunting black bears, but many other species are hunted by this method as well, including leopards in Africa, hogs and even whitetail deer in some areas where it’s legal.


Discover the strategic advantage of Baited Hunts, a highly effective and time-honored method for pursuing a diverse range of game species across the globe. From the elusive leopard in Africa to North American whitetail deer, wild hogs, and various bear species, baiting allows hunters to draw animals to a specific location, increasing the chances of a successful encounter.

This technique offers unparalleled opportunities for patient observation, allowing for careful trophy assessment and selective harvesting. Baited hunts are ideal for hunters of all experience levels and are particularly well-suited for archers and those seeking a focused, close-range opportunity. Our network of professional outfitters worldwide are experts in local regulations and ethical baiting practices, meticulously managing sites in prime habitats to ensure consistent animal activity. Whether you're targeting a specific trophy or seeking a unique hunting experience, a baited hunt provides a controlled and often high-success environment for a memorable adventure.

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.

This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.

The outfitter handled everything perfectly.

We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.

Thank you, Stan Masneri

What an amazing experience!

The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!
