Idaho Spring Bear
Well, hunting naked is not my thing. And it's not very practical with all the tics up there! 😁 I won't overdress though. I always layer when hunting. The cold gear comes out when glassing from knobs and ridgelines. -
Idaho Spring Bear
Heading up to 12 in another week to chase bear and wolf in the backcountry. Going to be packing my super down pro clothes and four season tent to handle any inclement weather. Just hoping to not be socked in for a week. -

Grizzly bear is finished and back home!

Spring Bear in Arizona
It usually kicks in late April and runs through July, unless a 1 or 2 sow quota is reached. I have arrowed three archery spring bears. It is a tough hunt....but I call them in with hand calls. Good hunt over water too. But, it sucks for hardcore bear hunters, as a filled spring tag has you... -
Spring Bear in Arizona
Very few bears are traditionally harvested during the spring OTC hunt in AZ. It is mostly used a money generator for the state. There is an archery only draw permit hunt after the OTC hunt ends. -
Why are bears different colors?
Different colors are genetic traits, selected for by adaptation to various environments. Black colored bears get picked off in Arizona canyon country as they don't blend in well, while blondes and cinnamons can blend better with the yellowish brush and red earth. -
Arizona December Bear Hunt
Some bears are still out in December in AZ, but odds of success are low. -
Calling bears?
I use both open reed and closed reed hand calls. Keep screaming non-stop while sounding scared and pitiful and you're likely to get a response if a bear is nearby and your scent is covered. -
