The Hunt
A 6-day fully guided black bear hunt in the Minnesota Northwoods. Baited stands, small groups, and guides who know the country.
How the hunt works
We hunt over active bait sites from elevated stands and ground blinds. Baiting begins months before the season, and we keep trail cameras running all summer so we can place you on the best bear activity when you arrive.
Each morning and evening you’ll sit with a guide nearby — close enough to help, far enough to keep the area calm. When a bear comes in, you make the shot. After a successful harvest, your guide assists with tracking, recovery, field dressing, and caping.

After the shot
A successful hunt is only the beginning. We help you recover your bear, tag it properly, and handle field dressing and caping so you can get it to your taxidermist or processor in top shape. We also take photos and help you pack meat for the trip home.
Our goal is a clean, ethical harvest and a memory you’ll carry for life. If you don’t tag a bear during your hunt, we offer reduced-rate return sits subject to availability.
