Montana Fall Bear Hunts
Up to 8 Guests
About
Our autumn bear hunting season kicks off in September and extends through November. During the early part of the fall season, black bears are busy filling their bellies with the last remnants of the berry crop in preparation for the impending hibernation period. At this time, we employ the spot-and-stalk method, relying on glassing to locate our quarry. Black bears are active throughout the day during this season, providing ample opportunities for sightings. What sets our fall bear hunts apart is the chance to expand your hunting experience. In addition to pursuing black bears, hunters can also target elk and deer, making it a versatile and exciting adventure. Our hunting area is privileged to host a wide range of color phases among black bears. You'll encounter black, brown, cinnamon, blond, and black bears with distinctive white diamonds on their chests. Our region boasts one of the highest concentrations of color-phase black bears in the state. Furthermore, our location ensures a continuous supply of older age class bears, enhancing your chances of encountering truly remarkable specimens.
