Washington Black Bear Hunting Trips

Washington has the highest bear population in the lower 48, and our Washington black bear hunting trips, especially the ones on the Olympic Peninsula, give our hunters a great chance at a trophy black bear. Washington also offers two bear tags per hunter, which makes these hunts even more attractive.

The state of Washington provides some of the best opportunity for trophy black bear hunting in the country. The use of hounds or bait have been illegal for years now, so these bears have gone almost completely unpressured and get big!

• Washington does not have a Spring season.
• Their Fall hunting season runs from August 1 through mid-November.
• Black bear population density in parts of Washington state rival the population densities found in Southeast Alaska and British Columbia.
• Just like in Alberta, Washington also offers two bear tags per hunter.
• Little hunting pressure when compared to some of the other states, due mostly to the fact that Washington does not allow baiting or hound hunting.
• Purchase your license and tags over-the-counter from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife website.
