Bear Hunts

In our area, there are overloads of fruit trees which are one the main food sources for bears. Bears will travel for miles to reach these mountainous areas to fatten up for winter.

Our success rate for catching bear is between 95-100%.

Running hounds after a bear is one of the most exciting hunts you can experience. When you come on a dog hunt, you can expect to run early mornings and get back early afternoon, sometimes earlier due to hot weather, or hard rain. While hunting black bears with Back 30 Outfitters you will be surprised with the large number of color-phased bears. Colors from black, cinnamon, red, chocolate, and blonde. Sitting on beef baits, it's a great option if you are limited on walking and still want to get out to hunt bears. Some just love sitting over baiting and watching what comes into the bait. Success depends on season but between 60-70%. Bait hunts are 1 on 2.

We ask for a $1000 non-refundable deposit to secure your spot. We ask for this to protect you and us. In case someone decides to cancel days before the hunt, where we turned others down for that spot, as well as covering part of the basic fees and wages.

For almost all of our hunts you will be staying in facilities with power, water, and beds. You will have home cooked meals, and often produce from our onsite garden. Often enjoying jellies, fruits, and veggies, homemade pies and other desserts. Joey and Rose live on sight and are involved in all hunts year round, either cooking, guiding or maintaining.

Sometimes the weather isn't on our side, and we have no control over fires, snow, rain, or sickness, but we will try and make every moment count. Some days are longer days than others, but worth every moment. We will be honest with the amount of game harvested, and your success rates. In these parts of Idaho, you can expect a lot of timber, and some open land. Steep mountains, but there are roads in 8A and 10A, where we usually can get within a closer range.

After you harvest your animal, we go back to camp, write needed information down, and you can drive down to the nearest check in station. If you don't have a taxidermist at home that you use, we have excellent recommendations for you.

If you have ever been on a guided hunt by Joey and our guides, you know they try the hardest to get you on game and try to make your hunt a memorable one!
