This spring I had my first 2 hunters from Italy. Italy made the 25th country to hunt big game from my camp. Mr. Cinquini spoke English and translated for his partner. They soon adjusted our ways of hunting and tagged his trophy bears, a black and this one being a reddish brown color phase of the black bear. A rug is being made so he can enjoy it and show his friends as he tells his bear hunting stories.

A near white bear and a darker brown each taken with a single shot. Stefano, from Italy couldn't speak the English language. Some translating from his hunting partner and a conglomeration of hand signals and gestures from his guide made his hunt a successful one with 2 bear. His smiles that told us his feelings and I wish we could have conversed. I was pleased to have him and his partner part of my spring bear hunting camp.

What a great group of hunters. 3 in this group and all tagged out. Here Michael is likely laughing at some joke a guide told him. Proud of his bear and we were real proud of him taking this 500 plus pounder on is spot and stalk hunt. I forget if this is his first of second bear this spring but he tagged 2 great bears. 50% of all bears taken this spring were a brown color phase of the black bear. Who else can get those color percentages?

Licorice Bob acquired this name when he told his partner that he had licorice in his pocket. Perhaps that was one of the reasons that he had bear climb his tree stand on three separate occasions. Licorice Bob took home a brown bear and a monster black bear over 500 pounds. Both taken from tree stand over bait and not more than 27 yards to the bait barrels. Both shots were dead on and gave him his best trophy bear ever.

Check out the rich color and deep body of this brown that my return hunter, Art is posing beside. He took 2 browns on this spring's bear hunt, fantastic colors and thick fur. This spring our color phases taken equaled exactly 50% of all bears taken. We have perhaps the highest color percents that you will find anywhere. My good friend hunted by archery on a baited hunt over our special recipe of good bear bait and scent.

Rick showed up in camp ready for an exciting bear hunt. He wanted a real bear hunt, a spot and stalk. He saw many, many bears and chose his two trophies carefully. Armed with both rifle and bow he took his first with his rifle but his second bear was taken after a perfect 500 yard stalk and a straight arrow at just over 30 yards. His spot and stalk archery hunt produced him a 350 pound black bear.

His guide dropped him off in an area that showed signs of several bears then carried to put his second hunter on a good location. A short time later Dave had both his bears on the ground, side by side. Smiling he said that he got a bit excited. No point in waiting if you find what you are looking for and in 30 seconds the first day Dave was tagged out with two brown bears. A fun guy and we had the rest of his hunt to visit.

5 hunters in camp and each tagged 2 bear for a total of 10 bear taken. Another successful spot and stalk hunt. Alex was one of these hunters and he took this excellent brown bear along with a good sized black bear with rifle. It was a pleasure to have Alex and his hunting partner hunting with us. Great people, entertaining and professional hunters. I look forward to their next hunt with us.

George saw several bears on his spot and stalk non baited bear hunt. In one area alone his bear colors ranged from black to brown to white bears. George wounded his first bear but made no mistake on the second. Unfortunately this is the only photo I have of George's bears. However, here he is standing with his good friend who also tagged out this spring and also on a spot and stalk hunt. Great hunters and loads of fun.

Two hunters, two bears and I have them in my web site two times. Doug and Anthony leaning on the skinning table with hopes of someone taking their photos just one more time. This photo shows that all color phases are taken in my camp. Just another successful non baited hunt. Always the best hunts!

Archery hunter, Brent, with his baited Black Bear. While feeding out of a barrel filled with our special recipe of bear food this guy had no idea Brent's arrow was on it's way and he ended up being a rug for our hunter. With a very high color % of bears in our area hunters often get chances at all colors of bears.

I couldn't help but include this candid photo of Ashton after her shower. Gleaming she poses behind the skinning table holding three bears. She harvested a brown and a black on her non baited hunt. Her brother also tagged two bear, a brown and a black, non baited as well. Pleased to have both in camp. Great fun.

What a wonderful young lady and what a markswomen. Ashton tagged both a brown and a black on her hunt and made all of us proud. Great shooting gave her 2 rugs for her room. With much sitting and some driving, her and her guide found several bears over the course of her hunt. Best of luck in the future.

12 year old, Wyatt. Full of energy and life he proved to be a challenge for his guide to hold him still long enough for a bear to come out. This hunter managed to control his ambitions and ended up with two trophies for his wall. They saw a great many bears on their hunt, both browns and blacks.

Aloha Mike. The smiles of a good time. The Hawaiians took many photos of the camp grounds layered is fresh wet snow. The second day after an early May surprise snow storm and nearly all snow had melted. What pleasant hunters, Mike and his son, to have in camp and they each took home bears on their non baited hunt.

A late spring surprise,5 inches (13 cm.) of snow the first night of his hunt caught us off guard but Mark picked out his black bear against the white and surprised him with a good shot. Once again the non baited hunt proved successful for a great hunter getting and excellent trophy sized black bear.

With so many bears taken on his non baited black bear hunt I am now not certain which bear he is holding but I believe Joseph is standing by his own. Wolf/Coyote license is also available during the spring and fall season and often make a bonus trophy on a hunt. In this case, a coyote trophy

After a bad hunt the previous year with some other outfitter, Joey, started out with doubt but by the 3rd day of his non baited hunt he had his black bear. His second bear cinched up his confidence in bear outfitters and non baited hunts. His smiles between the bears shows of a good time.

What a great group of hunters to have on our opening fall hunt. 2 from Denmark and 1 from United Kingdom. 3 hunters and all shot at brown bears on their non baited fall bear hunt. Henrik poses with his deep chocolate brown bear at the skinning table in our hunting camp. Congratulations on your success.

George taking his turn breaking cameras while he poses with a couple of blacks. His smiles tell of his enjoyment. I greatly enjoyed my time guiding this professional hunter who took each day in stride. His experience of hunting and his relaxed way gave me yet another excellent hunter in my camp.

Thick spring hair on this medium chocolate brown bear offers the best of bear rug trophies. Doug took a brown phase black bear, a black bear and a coyote in just a few days on his non baited bear hunt. What else can I hunt? he jokes with a smile. Great fun and a great group of hunters.

Daniel and his trophy brown bear on yet another non baited bear hunt. His shot through the leaves and branches dropped his bear and provided us with yet another brown phase black bear for our records. The thickness of this brown's hair should make a quality rug for his wall or floor. Good going.

An enjoyable camp of hunters from the great, Salt Lake City area in Utah. 5 hunters and all tagged bear. Just another successful hunt, Brent with bow, Ashton with 300 rifle and her father Ben with cross-bow. Missing are son, Wyatt and friend, Bill who also tagged bear. Good going hunters.

Smiles tell it all. The early snow melted and our Hawaiian hunter tagged a great trophy black bear. Successful non baited hunts provide the best of the bear and fun filled entertaining hunters make outfitting a joy. Aloha, Brandon, and we are all pleased to have had you in out camp. Best wishes.

A quiet hunter but a good shot and Bill dropped his bear in one shot. Non baited was the tag Bill took and he caught his bear feeding on seeds, berries and fresh grasses. All are a favorite food and once found you can nearly always count on them returning. Very habitual and we count on that for many bears.

Our first cross-bow hunter since the law changed allowing cross-bows just a couple years ago. Ben's best bear ranged over 8 feet and a bit over 500 pounds. What a monster bear and one heck of a trophy. In all the guides estimated a bit over 50 browns and blacks were spotted during this hunt.

Whoever said brown bears don't get big has not hunted our country. Take a peek at Basile's monster brown. Over 8 feet and over 500 pounds of trophy brown bear bruin. Congrats on such a nice bear. It should make a great full mount for your trophy room and provide many stories to tell.

Anthony, the booking man of the group, brought me 7 non baited bear hunters who all tagged black bear including brown phases of the black bear. A mix of hunters and a camp full of laughs and dozens of photos were taken of there bears. A nice trophy black bear for his wall. Congratulations.

Another large black bear taken on a non-baited bear hunt. This bear was taken as it rambled along an open area in the woods in search of a sow for mating. These later hunts most often produce the biggest black bear of any hunts including our baited hunts. Non-baited and late season are some of the best.

Todd with another huge bear taken on a non-baited hunt. The best of the hunting methods for huge bear.

5 hunters took 10 bear in 5 days. All fair chase hunts. This non-baited archery hunter tagged two bear, a black and this brown. A pleasant hunter and an excellent shot. Mike proudly smiles while I photograph him and this excellent trophy.

June 14 brown bear - 21 inch skull. Quick positioning then we waited for the bear to come to us. At 20 yards the bullet hit this monster 550 pound brown through the neck bone and dropped him on the spot. Always the best hunts are by spot and stalk or fair chase for larger bears. Always!

Another monster! Easily a record book skull just beating out a previous record taken by a lady from New Zealand, J.D. has a cool one while he poses for the perfect photo for this web site. His second bear of the hunt and a real monster taken on a baited hunt.
