Idaho Bear Hunts

Idaho Spring Bear hunting

Our Area has a healthy population of Black Bears, Our Idaho Bear Hunts are done in Unit 25 along the South Fork of the Salmon River. You can see anything from a typical Black Bear in Color to Color Phase Bears with shades of brown, Blonde, & Cinnamon. We offer fully Guided spot and stalk with Bait Hunts, Semi Guided Hunts over Bait, and DIY Baited Spring Bear hunts.
An average Black Bear can weigh 90 to 300 plus lbs depending on Age, Sex, health, and season. Although up to 85% of Black Bears diet consists of Vegetation and insects, Black Bears are Omnivores which means they can also be hard on our Newborn Elk Calves and Mule Deer Fawns!

Wolf Tags can be added to any of our Bear Hunts!

Our Area is in Unit 25 / McCall Zone along the South Fork of the Salmon River and is a 1 Bear Area

• These hunts are cabin based out of our residence in Yellow Pine, Idaho. Our Guest Cabin sleeps 4, it is nothing fancy but comfortable with Wi-Fi, cable TV, and a shower. Meals are served at the main house and sack lunches are sent out daily. On these hunts we typically leave before daylight and drive about 40 minutes to trail heads where we ride horses or hike to get up in elevation to glass the snow lines on the southerly slopes. With the still cooler weather the bears arent so nocturnal and are actively searching for the first green ups of spring. We spend the day riding, hiking and glassing, if we have no luck we get set up on our established bait sites in the evenings.
