About this hunt

Black bears are plentiful in western Montana and are legal game. The Swan Valley has the highest population concentration, and produces the best color phased bears in the state. We hunt black bears in the spring exclusively and in the fall in combination with our other hunts, or as a stand alone hunt. "CAST & BLAST" - $5,000. You can upgrade any 5 day bear hunt to this 6-day fishing and hunting combination trip which allows sportsmen to fish with a spinning rod, trolling rod or fly rod for trophy size Northern Pike and Lake Trout and hunt black bears on public land fair chase. The spring in Montana is a great time frame to chase Northern Pike right before they spawn resulting in blistering runs while soaking in the beautiful solitude of the Swan Valley. We can even glass bears from the boat and switch gears to hunting if we find a big boar we like. We fish out of a pontoon boat or specialized trolling boat maximizing comfort and success. We allow you to mix and match your hunting and fishing days giving you a nice change of scenery and a break from the physicality of hunting.

Where you will hunt

Territory

We are fortunate to have access to thousands of acres of the Flathead National Forest, in and around the famed Bob Marshall Wilderness. Big game hunting in western Montana takes place primarily on remote lands owned by the Flathead National Forest, the State of Montana and private timber companies. We have permits for hundreds of miles of public hunting ground and is the only commercial Montana hunting outfitter in our specific area with permits to hunt big game such as: mule and whitetail deer, elk, moose, goat and lions. While we employ highly skilled and experienced guides, these big game hunts are very challenging and do not carry guarantees of harvesting of game. If the thought of going home without an animal is not palatable to you, do not book a hunt.
