The Fun Of Guided Bear Hunts

By Marci Glover


In the past few decades, tourism has become a popular activity and people are now dedicating more of their time on recreation. Many people are quickly spending their leisure time doing fun activities in different ways. Guided bear hunts is one method of recreation that many people have considered practicing where they visit some camps and hunt bears mainly for the fun while being guided by professional hunters. There are special companies that do this work.


These hunting trips usually take some time like a period of three weeks. The activity is normally carried out in a massive piece of land probably owned by the company. They usually ensure safety for their visitors and keep them from any harm by other hunters.

This activity usually takes place in an area that has many bears like those with many blackberries, raspberries or blueberries. The hunt is usually conducted using bait that is left at a safe distance that will ensure the visitors are not attacked by any animals. It is not only the experienced hunters that are normally welcomed to these trips but also the first timers. This is because of the availability of the experienced guides that offer the visitors with hunting education.

The trips should be booked in advance so that the guides can prepare the places they will stay. They are normally provided with orientation they require for the whole activity. They are usually taught how to place the bait, the sizing of the bear, how they will take the shot, how to control their emotions among other very much important stuff. The weapons used in the hunt are not limited. They can use bows or firearms.

There are different kinds of packages that can be offered to the visitors. Depending on the period of time they wish to stay, their cabins are prepared so that they can have a decent place to rest when not on the hunting mission. The hunters who do their job very well are usually rewarded well. There are some trophies that are handed to those who are able to hunt successfully.

What the vacationers pay the charge for the outing it provides for all the activities that take place on the trip. This includes the cost of the escorts, the bait and transport from the action site to the cottages, ground dressing and retrieval. Photographs are permissible on the journey and the award winners are commonly permitted to ship their awards to the cabins.

After catching the bear, there is a process that it undergoes. First it is hanged up and the weight is recorded. After that they are cleaned and then hanged down and the hunters wait for instructions on what to do next. The company takes the responsibility of butchering the bear and helping to pack it. Later the meat is left in the custody of the hunter and they take responsibility of the transportation fee.

This is a recreational activity that comes with a full package of fun and unforgettable experience that engages the mind too. It is a recommended way of spending leisure time especially for those who like to be challenged. This is one experience that you definitely cannot afford to miss.
