Description

Arizona’s black bears are secretive by nature and inhabit some of the most rugged, remote, and beautiful country in the state. No other state offers more color phase bears per-capita than Arizona and long OTC bear seasons make the Grand Canyon State one of the top bear hunting destinations out west! We offer clients two types of guided black bear hunts in Arizona and our experienced guides kill record book bears using each tactic. In fact, our success rate on BIG color-phase bears is unmatched anywhere in North America. This hunt is a spot and stalk hunt. During a guided spot and stalk style bear hunt, clients can expect long glassing sessions for monster bruins before navigating through the rugged landscape to get in position for a shot. Depending on the hunt location and your desired experience, we might hunt on foot, with a side-by-side, or off of mules–your choice! Your hunting experience will be second to none. It’s always such a rush of adrenaline when someone abruptly says “got a bear” while they’re glassing, and you know it could be “go time” very soon! Sometimes bears will be glassed up within rifle range of your first position, but usually we must get closer to the bear for a good shot. A flat-shooting rifle and confidence behind it come in quite handy. We like 7mm, 7PRC, 300WSM, 300 WIN, 300 PRC and other similar calibers for big boars in big Arizona bear country.

Description

We offer guided bear hunts during all of Arizona’s OTC bear seasons (Spring and Fall), however the use of dogs is prohibited during the spring hunt. Our crews, regardless of season or hunt style, are considered Arizona’s most driven and successful bear guides. Many of our guides live in small towns amid Arizona’s most productive bear country. Experience gives them the upper hand and our clients benefit from their close connection to the areas we hunt. If you’re looking for a first class Arizona bear hunting experience, you’ve found it with any of our adrenaline filled OTC hunt options. It’s up to you to choose your adventure. There are two distinct OTC bear seasons in August and September, plus a later season during October and November that is just as incredible and productive. Any fall bear hunt in Arizona could lead you on an adventure that culminates with killing the biggest bear of your life. Tags for most of Arizona’s spring bear hunts are also available over the counter. We’ve killed some of our biggest boars during Arizona’s spring bear season and our success rate is historically very high during these early season bear hunts. These hunts are a great option for anyone that wants a quiet spot and stalk style hunt in Arizona’s high-country with the chance at a monster bear. The privacy and serenity are top-notch during spring bear hunts!
