BLACK BEAR HUNTS

​

Toby's Trophy Treks offers five day baited bear hunts in the early spring and fall of each year along the south and east edge of 650,000 acres of National Forest. The areas hunted are prime bear habitat. Platform tree stands have dimensions of four feet by four feet. The ground level hunting houses are four feet by four feet by seven feet high. The large stands make your time in the woods much more comfortable. With the number of stands this allows us the flexibility to move hunters in changing wind directions or weather. All stands are accessible by four wheelers driven by our staff to the stand location. Our stands can accommodate all hunters from rifle to muzzleloader to archery. 

We give each hunter a radio transmitter during their time in the stand. A normal week consists of breakfast in the morning at approximately 8:00 A. M. The hunters are then taken into the stands by 9:30 A.M. and usually hunt until 1:00 P.M. Coming back to the lodge , they will have a superb lunch and then prepare for the evening outing. Again we take the hunters into the stands close to 5:00 P.M. and they hunt until dark. By hunting twice a day the success ratio increases for the hunter rather than just one outing a day. This access to the stands for the hunter increases the success for color phase bears which are about forty per cent of our harvest.

​

We make careful attention at all of the stands for scent protection and hunter safety. An important factor starting the week is the instruction by this outfitter as to the judging of bears from past photographs and video with the clients. A full library is available for review and guidance. Packages are available for women and youth hunters booked with a client in the same week.
