Bear hunting is growing in popularity every year as bear numbers are on the rise in North America! With spring and fall options for bear hunting, big game hunting has never been more exciting. Whether you are spot and stalk hunting, hunting over bait or hunting with hounds, bear hunting is the extreme North American outdoor experience. The bear is an icon for American wilderness and bear hunting is as traditional as apple pie and baseball! Hunting all across North America is used as a management tool by government wildlife agencies to regulate populations of wildlife - and this is good. Our hunting has great purpose and isn't just blood sport. It is a tool in the hands of biologists and rational thinking people that want to see the renewable resource of wildlife continue to thrive. Fair chase hunting is the perfect human experience! In an increasingly urban society, let's keep the wild places wild and let's keep the hunt alive. Hunting ethics and the internal character of the individual hunter are the foundational keys to sustainability of our great sport.
