Bear Hunting Success Rate
August 12th, 2008 at 10:09 pm (Coastal Bear Hunting)
On a self-guided black bear hunt, depending on how much research is done you improve your time from cooking, cleaning, skinning and even scouting toward hunting so I think your odds of getting bears are good, for sure over 60% and perhaps approaching 80%. It is hunting so who knows for sure. In my opinion 80% is as good as 100% on a do-it-yourself bear hunt as long as the group you’re with is a fun and unselfish. I’m not saying you’ll get up to 100% on the self guided bear hunt but I’m trying to stress the fun of the process involved in a self guided black bear hunt.
Don’t underestimate how much fun you can have pre and post bear hunt and enjoying others in your group having success.
Our bear hunting group in Petersburg, Alaska. Petersburg is a very cool little town.
