Our 2014 Spring Black bear hunt was exceptional. Traditional harvest numbers of 150%+ success rate. The quality of the bears harvested was second to none. 14 bears in excess of 7’ were taken in 2014. Color was above our traditional 30% average. 19 Pope & Young Bears were taken in 2014.

The spring hunt consists of 30 to 40 active baits being the norm.

This hunt is the perfect opportunity for archery or primitive weapons. All stands are strategically placed for a 12 – 20 yard shot.

Bearpaw’s fall bear hunt has become one of our most popular hunts. In the fall, we bait hunt as well as spot and stalk as the bears’ raid the cereal grain crops in August and September. Our hunters in the last three years have had opportunities at some of the biggest bears in our history.

Bearpaw is further limiting the number of hunters in 2014 to ensure upper end quality on our black bear hunts.
