We take a few spring black bear hunters
each year in the Yellowstone area. The be st
time for hunts in this area is the last two weeks of May and the first
week of June. Because of the altitude in this area, we are able to hunt
later than most areas before the hides are rubbed too badly. Over the
years we have killed quite a few good black bears, including several
over six feet and a few nearer to seven feet.
We hunt these bears in fair chase, as in all of our hunts, meaning we
do not use dogs or bait. We spend early morning and late evening glassing
for bears. When one is spotted, we plan a stalk that we hope will put
us within gunshot of the bear. Using this method we have been able to
consistently provide over 50% of our hunters with an opportunity to
shoot a bear.

I don't think you can hunt bears anywhere else in the United States
and see the color variation as we have. Approximately 60% of our bears
are black color phase; the remaining 40% will range anywhere from a
light blonde to a dark chocolate color. Some black bears even take on
the "silver-tip" color phase most commonly associated with
grizzly bears. |
If you are not hunting bears during mid-day, you can fish or tour Yellowstone.
Some hunters have used the opportunity to combine a family vacation
with a bear hunting trip.
