Rifle, Archery and Black Powder hunters are welcome. They have three BMAs (Black Bear Management Area) with Black Bears common in the 200 to 300 pound range. Hunting guests have harvested bears over 400 pounds in their BMA. They start baiting their stands 6 weeks before the hunt and have their guides constantly scouting out which stands have the biggest bears. Some of their stands are set up so people with physical challenges can easily get to the stands and hunt. Having a guide is optional. Their success rate has been 100% since 2009.
