Title: Re: bear hunt with dogs Post by: arrowbar on January 12, 2014, 08:51:09 pm NM AZ UT would be your best bet. How much do you want to spend on the hunt? I can do it in NM the ranch we hunt doesn't have to many bear so its first come first serve and I have a buddy in UT that can guide you as well.

Bears are all over; high populations and a lot of hunters in the SE, East Coast, NE and like arrow said, out west. Bear hunting is a lot of fun.

Title: Re: bear hunt with dogs Post by: arrowbar on January 12, 2014, 09:10:44 pm in many states you have to be an outfitter to take anyone especially out of state. You cant even pay for gas or buy a candy bar when going with friends from a different state. In NM if you are the land owner you are exempt from that and only on the private land you have access to.
Title: Re: bear hunt with dogs Post by: charles on January 12, 2014, 09:55:16 pm Most of the bear hunts, mostly grizz though, the prices iv seen for guided are around $5000 per rifle n some can even mix deer/bear wolf/bear hunts. I did a lot of searching for grizz hunts when i was in afghanistan n back a couple months ago when i lookin at movin up to alaska for a job, but them grizz hunts were runnin 5000-12000 per rifle for a 1 on 1 guided hunt
Title: Re: bear hunt with dogs Post by: arrowbar on January 12, 2014, 09:58:31 pm blackbear is typically half that and much less travel time. There are quite a few outfitters in NM I can set you up with if you need that

Title: Re: bear hunt with dogs Post by: dodgegirl on January 13, 2014, 10:34:02 am I've always wanted to tree a bear with dogs. But I have no interest in killin one. When you guys go take lots of pictures!

Title: Re: bear hunt with dogs Post by: hoghunter71409 on January 13, 2014, 02:42:49 pm Running dogs on bear is just as exciting as running dogs on hogs. I treed my first bear on a Canadia bear hunting trip with Cajun. Part of me didnt really care about shooting the bear so I thought we would pass and let the bear go. After someone explianed it to me that a dead bear on the ground that the dogs could rustle with was the reward for the dogs, I thought different. Not to mention that I now know how good bear meat is. Before I spent a couple thousand on a western bear hunt, I would make a trip to the southeastern states and make a hunt thier. You can look on FB and see groups such as Central Florida Bear Hunters; you could probably start friending some of those guys and maybe make a dog hunt with them that would cost you anything except travel to and from and pitch in for gas and stuff. In turn-they may want to make a trip to you and do a hog hunt.
