If you’ve been reading my articles thus far, it should be no secret that black bear is one of my favorite animals to hunt. The size of the animal, the wild places they inhabit, and the small element of danger in hunting a large predator make every bear hunt thrilling. So far, I have done my bear hunting in the midwest using bait to try and draw them out into range. While hunting in Michigan is always fun, I have been waiting for the right chance to go out west and do a spot and stalk hunt for bears on public land. After a long winter of state lockdowns in Michigan and cold weather, I am eagerly prepping for an out-of-state hunt in early April. I purchased a non-resident over the counter license for spring black bear and a plane ticket into Phoenix. In about two weeks, I will load up my gear and board a flight bound for the Grand Canyon State.<\/p>\n
