Description

In 2016 I secured my first lease of 9000 acres and set 10 bait sites. We had a successful season with all 5 of my hunters seeing bear. Two of them harvested and 1 miss while the others only saw sows with cubs.

My lease is now around 18000 total continuous acres. I will again be relocating several sites to spread them out a bit more to reduce the chances of bears moving from site to site. As usual, I will also be making new sites in areas that were logged. This should work out to 15-18 total sites. Based on these numbers I hope to have around 6 hunters but could take 7 or even 8. Ultimately, I would have 3 hunters week 1, 3 during week 2 and week 3 can be used to spread people out if needed, as I feel you would get the best experience this way.

Our hunters will have 2 bait sites to hunt. You have your choice of a tree stand or blind at 2 sites. Some sites may have a blind and a stand at them. Generally, people do a treestand on one and a ground blind at the other.

Dates: WK 1- 8/25 - 8/30 WK 2- 9/1 - 9/6 WK 3- 9/8 - 9/13

What to Expect

This is a guided hunt without food or lodging. You will be responsible for your own accommodations however if needed I will help you find a place. Some hunters have even brought a camper for the week. You will have 2 sites available with either a ladder stand or a ground blind at each, your choice. You will generally hunt the first site early in the week then switch to the second site later in the week if needed. I will bring you in to your site and pick you up each day of your hunt. However, I may have a couple sites accessible by 4 wheeler only, those will be semi guided (contact me for more details for that hunt) This hunt is $1500 (6-day hunt) per person. I also offer a "buddy" hunt, $1600, which is for 2 people, one hunter, such as a couple. This hunt includes guide, bait sites and retrieval of your game. If you are interested, or know someone who may be, feel free to reach out.
