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 & 20 A 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, or Cinnamon.
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 Bugs,
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!
