Hunting Fun

If you’re looking for the right place to hunt black bears than Vermont might be the best location for you’re next bear hunting trip. Bears are considered one of the most reclusive big-game animals in that state. Vermont has one of the largest black bear populations in the United States. It’s estimated that there is one black bear for every 3 square miles. Vermont can thank their health bear population due to proper monitoring and hunting regulations.

You’re allowed to hunt black bears in Vermont during their regulated hunting season. This is a 2 1\2 month season opening on September 1st and ends on the first Wednesday of Vermont’s firearm dear season. You’re not allowed to use bait stations or baiting methods to hunt black bears in Vermont. However you can use dogs as an aid as long as the owner or person in charge has the proper bear-dog permit. You’re restricted to only six dogs and cannot use this in a commercial guide setting.

The key to tracking a bear in Vermont is the same as any other. You need to find a concentrated area containing its natural food source or in an area that is prime for a bear habitat or den. The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department claims that early in the season their black bears prefer food such as berries, black cherries and standing corn, while towards the end of the season wild apples, beechnuts and acorns become more important to their diet.

You’ll find that Vermont has some of the best hunting opportunities, especially when it comes to hunting bears. As with any state you need to make sure you have all the proper hunting license, permits and tags, along with following all hunting laws and regulations.

www.AZQuailHunter.com – Today my brother and I went out after Gambel’s Quail. We saw a lot of birds. Our morning walk didn’t have any real good dog work, but in the afternoon we were able to get some nice points in and had a lot more single finds by the dogs. RT did a great job at finding the singles and I was thrilled when my 8 month old pup YoYo pointed a huge covey. This video is edited down from 30 minutes of tape my brother shot before the camera battery died.

www.azquailhunter.com We headed out for a Mearns Quail Hunt December 12th and had a great time. In this clip we were chasing singles and Pistol pointed this one. We had 5 dogs out and one of them had a beeper on which you can hear. The bird held tight. Watch how Pistols tail starts to wag just before we notice the bird took off. Dogs are fast and perceptive!

My 2010 spring bear hunt on a controlled hunt tag. This unit doesn’t allow dogs or bait, so I called this bear in using a predator call and shot him at 120 yards. A beautiful blond colored 6′ black bear, and a memory to share with my wife!
