Arizona White Mountain Apache Black Bear Hunting Guide

This trophy black bear hunt takes place in the northeast part of the 1.7 million-acre White Mountain Apache Indian Reservation in east-central Arizona. Several of the top Boone and Crockett black bears have come off this Reservation. In fact, this outfitter took the state record bear recently. A tremendous trophy with a skull of over 22″!  This is a high-success, low-volume hunt with only a couple of hunters in camp per week. Hunts are conducted over bait in the Spring and Summer. In fact, some of the largest boars are taken during the July rut! Due to the higher elevation (over 8,000′) the bear hides are good all Summer long! No other black bear hunt in North America offers this seclusion, skull size, color-phase percentage, bait or hound hunting style, and low-volume atmosphere. Our success on big, colored bears is unrivaled. Over 50% of the bears our hunters harvest are 7 feet or better with lots of color phase bears. Our hunter shot opportunities are extremely high. Plus you have the option to hunt two bears! All of this, plus no pesky mosquitoes!  Accommodations are included in a simple travel trailer. This is a no frills hunt.  Hunters wishing for a little more comfort can stay (at their expense) at the White Mountain Apache Hotel and Casino, only 10 miles from camp. Rifle or muzzleloader hunting only. #606
