Black Bear - The Complete Huntervale Hunting Guide (PDF)

An honest field guide to one of North America's smartest, most elusive big-game animals - and how to hunt it right.

There is a serious side to it, too. Regulated bear harvest is a genuine wildlife-management tool. In many states, carefully set seasons help keep bear numbers in balance with the available habitat and reduce conflict between bears and people. For the hunter, a well-run bear hunt offers a real test of woodsmanship, a beautiful hide or mount, and - handled correctly - very good meat. This guide walks you through the animal, the country, the methods, and the discipline that separates an ethical bear hunter from someone who got lucky. One theme runs through all of it: judge the bear before you ever think about the shot.
