Black bears number
close to one million animals on the North American continent,
and their population is larger than any other bear (sub)species
on earth. They range from Mexico to Alaska, and just as the
terrain they inhabit is diverse, so are the hunting tactics
for obtaining a bear. Black bears are hunted with hounds,
by spot-and-stalk, from a boat, by calling them in, and by
baiting them. Well-known author J. Y. Jones has interviewed
twelve top black bear guides to find out how they manage to
get bears year in year out, hunt after hunt. So follow the
author from Alaska to Arizona and from the East Coast to the
West Coast as he asks penetrating questions of the guides.
Not only will you learn how guides bag their bears, but you
will also learn how you should prepare in case you want to
go on a guided hunt. And even better you will learn how to
interview your guide before you put your hard-earned money
on the line. Whether you are looking for a guided hunt or
one that you want to do by yourself, you will learn a lot
from these pages. From calibers to clothing and from bait
to binoculars, every topic necessary to hunt black bears is
covered in these pages. This is not a book from one author
who has shot six bears in his entire life; it is a book with
hunting information from twelve of the top black-bear guides—people
who have guided hunters to hundreds of bears and who have
a cumulative experience of over 300 years. Try to beat that!
