 Ross
Lake Camps boasts a very large bear hunting area. We maintain exclusive baiting rights to approximately 250 square miles of vast wilderness
to
assure our guests of a truly private hunt.
We currently
have 127
bait sites and use
roughly98 each yr, but limit the amount of hunters we take to a MAX
of 60. This
allows us to move hunters between sites in case there is an abundance
of natural food in a given area, or if the hunter is only seeing a
sow with cubs.
Any Black Bear is legal to
harvest, but we encourage our hunters not to shoot cubs or a sow with cubs in
tow. Bears in our area are plentiful, and the chances of taking an above
average
size bear on any of our sites is very good. We carry a success rate of
85% or better for our customers every year.
 The majority of our stands are
set up for a shot ranging from 20 – 45 yards, but can be set up to the
hunters specifications as long as we receive plenty of advance notice.
Bow hunters
are encouraged to bring a lock on tree stand or a climbing stand with them.
Rifle, shotgun, bow, crossbow, and muzzleloader are all
acceptable methods to take your
bear. Weapons designed for personal protection are NOT acceptable.
Adult bears in our
area range from 60 to 550lbs. Approximately 40% of ours will weigh
in at
210 pounds or better.
All sites are within a one hour drive from your cabin door. We provide a fully
guided hunt to include all lodging, 3 meals daily, guide service, trophy recovery,
field dressing, skinning, quartering and freezing. We also can help with taxidermy
if required.
Hunts are scheduled for arrival
Sunday afternoon with the first meal served at 6:00pm that evening, and
departure the following Saturday morning after breakfast. References can be
provided upon request.
