Our Idaho Black Bear Hunts are 5 days in the Spring and Fall. These hunts are some of our favorite times of the year. Bear camp is a fun camp and full of excitement.
We offer bait and hound hunting for our bear hunts but the most successful hunt is over baits from tree stands or ground blinds. Speaking of success, our bear hunts are very successful but these are not guaranteed hunts. Your success is going to depend on your own ability to be still and make good shots.
We keep trail camera's on all the bait sites and bait daily. Hunters typically go to their tree stand or ground blind around 3 pm and will hunt until dark. Hunters will go out hunting in the morning as well depending on bear activity taking a break for lunch. Stands and blinds are located anywhere from 20 to 70 yards from the bait. Every client will have a 2 way radio with them to communicate with base camp. In the morning guides bait early and collect game camera chips so we can plan the days hunt. *Hunters are required to bring their own safety harness for tree stands.
Early Spring in May and June we will use our off road vehicles to get you into camp. After the 2nd week in June and Fall hunts clients drive their vehicles right to base camp. If you are flying into Missoula Airport you will rent a vehicle to drive to camp. Directions to camp will be sent to you after booking your hunt.
Base Camp consists of a large kitchen wall tent where we will eat our home cooked meals the cook has prepared for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Client tents vary in size depending on the number of people in your party. Client wall tents have wood floors and are fully equipped with cots and sleeping pads, power outlets to charge gear while generator is running and good wood stoves to stay warm. Camp also has a shower tent with instant hot water as well as a latrine.
When you are not on your bait hunting we will be fishing the creeks or mountain lakes on mid June spring hunts and fall hunts, or exploring around camp. It will be up to you if you'd like to relax around camp or stay active before hunting. There is a lot of fun to be had at our bear camp.
