Spring 2021 Black Bear & Travel Restrictions Update

March 11, 2021

 

Black Bear | White Mountain Apache Reservation

Spring Bear Hunt on 1.6 Million Acre Reservation in Arizona

 

Now here is an exciting new hunt opportunity that is going to produce some big bears. After 10 years of trying to get the permit, our long time outfitter has been awarded a spring bear permit to hunt this massive hunting property. All types of hair coloration as well. There has been some hunting here in the past but not much with highly experienced dog teams and handlers. AZ and NM has many B&C bears in the record books as they grow huge skulls.

Big bears can be highly nocturnal, so by adding the ability to hunt with dogs, they will get some giant bears. They also have many baiting sites for those who do not want to run after a bunch of dogs. Excellent trout fishing opportunities as well.

A typical day’s hunt consists of running dogs in the morning, trout fishing during mid-day, and sitting in a bear stand in the evening. This hunt is for all types of hunters. Camp will be nice camper trailers and wall tents, great food served up by a camp cook and nice camping weather in the spring. If you come across a mountain lion, they can chase them as well. Lastly, there’s no state sales tax here either!

5-Day Spring Black Bear Hunt

  • $4,950 (1×1) or $3,950/hunter (2×1)
  • Season runs April 1 to June 30, 2021
  • 4 hunters/hunt period
  • Add bear and/or mountain lion tags: $405 each
  • Add 2nd bear: $2,450 (predation/trophy fee possible)
  • Add mountain lion: $2,950 (trophy fee)
  • Add non-hunting observer: $150/day

After the year we all just experienced, what a great way to get out and go hunting this spring! Call or write us today to get some hunt dates booked.
