A beer hunt with Montana High Country costs $2100. The license price to hunt bear is $350. We hunt Black Bear in the Kootenai National Forest, located in northwest Montana. Black Bear have beautiful coats and may be found in a variety of colors such as blonde, cinnamon, brown, and black. Generally spring bear is a very high success rate hunt.

For $2100 you get a 2 hunter to 1 guide hunting ratio. We provide transportation to and from the airport, all meals, stay at the lodge, and professional guide service including filed care.

We conduct our spring bear hunt for three weeks in early May. We hunt out of a modern cabin where our guests sleep in beds with sheets, enjoy home cooked meals, and have most other modern conveniences including wireless DSL and satellite TV.

We leave the lodge in 4x4 vehicles and travel to different hunting areas. Travel time to hunt areas is usually 15 min. to 1 hr. Our hunting methodology involves a combination of spot and stalk along with walking roads and trails. Stalks on bears are usually not long in distance but can be in very steep and somewhat cliffy areas.

We have a good population of bears in our area. We also have quite a few off color bears. We have taken everything from blonde to black. Our mature bears run from 6'-6'06" and weigh in around 300-325 lbs. In the Spring and 400-425 lbs. in the Fall.

In the Fall bear hunts we mostly do spot + stalk hunting in the highest country. We hunt high mountain huckleberry patches in both natural basin and clear cuts. The hunt is very scenic and involves slightly longer drives. We usually hear bugling bulls as we glass for bears, and often spot other species as well. The Fall bear hunt is Sept. 15-20.
