Our five day Spring bear hunts are done by spot and stalk and calling only. Most hunts involve hiking up basins to areas where avalanche shoots can be glassed for foraging bears, or by traveling logging roads glassing in logged cuts.
Because of the bears elusive nature, this is a generally tough but rewarding hunt. Our hunting area boasts a high percentage of color phase bears. Spot and stalk bear hunting can be seen as one of Montana's most challenging and rewarding hunts.
The best time to hunt bears is the last week in May through June 15. This is when the highest concentration of bears are out and are more easily accessible.
For our early bear hunters, we make this hunt a spring combo by combining it with a Merriam’s turkey hunt. This is a great chance to hunt Merriam's Turkeys and bears at the same time. It makes a perfect combination, hunting turkey in the morning and bears in the evening.
If you are up to the challenge of taking a bear on the ground while spot-and-stalk hunting give us a call!

By the time spring rolls around most hunters are ready to hit the hills. Although Montana may not be the prime state for bears, our spring bear hunts can be the perfect get-away during the mid-season lull. It is also a great time of year to make it a trip with the wife & or kids, combining other activities along with the hunt.
