We are available to provide guided black bear hunts everyday our clients are available and clients are able to hunt for a bear until successful.

Do You Want a Chance at a Once-in-a-Lifetime Big Bear?

Then look no further. Our clients have harvested numerous bears over 450 lbs, many of which have earned their place in the record books. We scout intensively and run proven bait sites that consistently produce trophy-class bears. If you're after that true once-in-a-lifetime bear, we can provide your best shot.

What We Offer

  • Dogs Option: Hound-supported tracking in deep Northwoods wilderness—challenging and exhilarating for serious hunters.

  • Bait Option: Strategically placed active bait sites—maintained for months and chosen for optimal conditions.

  • Small group focus: We limit hunter numbers to maximize success and offer a personal, focused hunt.
