Why Hunt Black Bears in Arizona
Excellent Trophy Potential
Arizona regularly produces Boone & Crockett record-book bears, with boars exceeding 18–20"+ skulls and 6–7+ foot hides.
Thrilling Hound Hunts
Our seasoned houndsmen and trained packs track fresh sign, striking hot trails that lead to treed or bayed bears. Expect close-range encounters and non-stop action in thick cover. Hound hunting is legal during fall seasons (August–December).
Flexible Spot-and-Stalk Options
Glass vast canyons and rims at first and last light for feeding bears. Ideal for rifle or archery hunters who enjoy the challenge of Arizona's big, open terrain—available spring and fall.
