My Bear Hunt takes place on mostly private land over baited stands in zones D & A. I allow a limited number of hunters to assure a quality hunt. Bear baiting requires a lot of work over a 3-month period. I place all my baits out in June. By doing this I not only get a jump on the baiting, but I attract the boars that are out looking for sows since June is their mating period. This allows for multiple bears at each site. By putting my baits out earlier than most hunters, I can get the bear in a good routine and assure a hot bait for my clients. I work hard to provide a successful quality hunt. I’m an avid hunter myself, so I realize how important getting a permit is and work hard to make the most out of each hunt for my clients. I also have spare baits for unforeseen circumstances. I have some of the best black bear habitat in Northwest Wisconsin all on private land settings in A and D zones. Gun or bow, my rates include baiting, stand placement, and recovering your bear and getting it into a cooler.

Since my hunts take place on private land, my baits are not affected by the dog season. Success rates on years that dog hunters go first are identical to years that bait sitters go first. I can get your bear into a cooler and arrange processing and taxidermy all under one roof with one of the best taxidermists in Northern Wisconsin who is experienced in all types of mounts. I invite you to visit Sportsman’s Dreams Taxidermy web site for more info.

My overall success the last 8 years has been 57 out of 65 hunters (88%) with a 100% opportunity of killing a bear. If you have waited 5 plus years for a permit, make the most out of your permit and join me for a hunt!

The 2009 season was a little tougher this year with poor hunting conditions. We had an east wind with very warm conditions 70 - 80 degrees that slowed the daylight bait action. A later season opener (September 16th) took the hunt into the acorn drop, which also affected the hunt.

2010 Season - I will book 9 Zone D hunters and 6 Zone A hunters. Book early to secure a spot. NEW 2010 -Additional hunters filming or observing in a stand will be an additional $200 and they must have a class B license. If you want your hunt on film, I recommend using a tripod and capturing it yourself (then there is no additional fee).
