Description

Experience a thrilling early spring bear hunt with this outfitter, known for producing large bears at their bait sites. As the snow melts, the outfitter begins packing in bait via horseback and mules, steadily moving deeper into the backcountry as the season progresses. The hunt spans several remote and non-motorized areas, providing hunters with access to some of Wyoming's best hunting grounds. This 7-day hunt allows hunters to explore the Grey's River, Jackson, and Bighorn Mountain regions, offering an expansive area and greater opportunities than any other outfitter in Wyoming. The hunt is conducted via spot and stalk methods, primarily on horseback, with later-season hunts utilizing spike camps (backpacking tents) to access the bait sites and wait for large boars. Expect to spend approximately 3+ hours in the saddle each day, with 1-2 miles of hiking. Additional hunters can join for an extra cost, allowing for an even more exciting group adventure. This hunt provides a unique opportunity to explore Wyoming's backcountry while pursuing a trophy bear.

Description

There are always plenty of active baits for hunters to choose from, at least 3 to 4 per hunter. Baits are stocked midday and hunters go out in the evenings to hunt. Hunters need to be willing to stay mobile and ready to move to new or more active baits if needed. The ability to stay mobile has greatly increased our hunter's success. Color is the rule not the exception with black bear in Western Wyoming. Most Bears are brown, cinnamon, blonde or reddish in color, but hunters do kill a black colored bear on occasion. Spring is a beautiful time of year to spend in Wyoming. Included in your cost of the hunt is lodging and meals, which we have been told are alone are worth the hunt. We hunt both Grey's River, Jackson and Bighorn Mountain quotas, giving us more area and opportunity than any other outfitter in Wyoming. What separates this outfitter from the rest is the remoteness of the country they access where the big bears live. Other outfitters use ATV access to stock baits and hunts, but if there is ATV access to these areas, it means that the general public also has access to these areas. Keep that in mind when booking any bear hunt. This outfitter usually takes some of the biggest bears in the State of Wyoming and have a very high overall success rate.
