Black Bear Hunts

Idaho is one of the only states where you can hunt during the spring using bait and/or hounds. Our spring season runs May through June, and our fall season runs September through October. The two styles of bear hunting Sulphur Creek Outfitters uses are: bait and spot-and-stalk. We are very good at both methods and you can change styles during your hunt. Occassionally we use hounds, but since the re-introduction of wolves this method is a little bit dangerous for the dogs. All bear hunts are 5-days with meals, lodging and transportation included (once you arrive in the hunting area). You will ...
