The bear hunt is also a special time of the year for our outfitting camp. Hunting these large and often intimidating animals is nothing like stalking a moose. Weeks before your arrival, Everett or one of his trusted guides can be found scouring the wilderness of Area 17, tracking these huge beasts and dispersing bait to lure them near a tree stand, located roughly 30 feet above the ground, yet close enough to the bait to let you get a clean shot at the animal. Your guides repeat this ritual, so the bear will return to that very spot for its daily dose of food. While you wait patiently in the seclusion of a tree stand, the animal will hopefully waltz by, allowing you to take aim and bag your bear. There are an estimated 10,000 Black Bears on the island, some weigh in excess of 500 lbs. Can't make it in the fall? That's fine, we offer both spring and fall bear hunts.
