This may not be the best year for it. Lots of fires with federal and state land closed.Joe, did this ever come to fruition? I am looking at a fall DIY bear hunt in AZ. Would be interested to know how it went if you got out there.
We hunted the White Mountain Apache Rez in eastern Arizona the first week of August. I had no idea that Arizona had mountains and huge pine trees. Camp was at 8,000' and we hunted between 8,500' to 10,000'. We had to hunt with a guide on the Rez and it was worth it. Three in our group and we got two that went 7'2" and one that went 6'6". There are some really big black bears on the Rez.Joe, did this ever come to fruition? I am looking at a fall DIY bear hunt in AZ. Would be interested to know how it went if you got out there.
