Black bear hunting is done from a treestand or a ground blind.  The hunting is primarily in the evening from mid afternoon until after the sun sets.  We offer Archery, Rifle and Muzzleloader hunts for a period of six days, Monday thru Saturday.  Our Archery hunting is done from large platfor stands approximately fifteen feet in the air at close distances of an average of fifteen yards.  The baits areset for optimal placement, so that your shot is quartering away.  The Rifle blinds are made from the natural surroundings and have comfortable seating.  Each Rifle blind has a rest to shoot from and are set up eighty to ninety yards away from the bait.
