Anybody have experience hunting with Arizona Guided Hunts for Black bear? http://www.arizonahunting.net/bear.htm

If not, have you heard anything on these guys?

I eill also check the hunt reports.

Thanks.

Have not personally hunted with him, but he is well respected in the area. Heard nothing but good things about his hunts. Can be very physically challenging. I hunt the same areas and there is no other bear hunt like it. Go and enjoy. Pm me for more info..

An average shot of 250 yards on bear? Its a different type of bear hunt than I've ever been on!

Thanks SOAZARCHER

We worked with a guy that was doing those bear hunts in AZ. They did some shooting at 350-400 yrads which to me is not bear hunting. Also as you have been advised it is physically challenging. We had a client blow out a knee on the first hunt day and he was done. Lots of climbing and rough country.

Some of the bear units here in AZ are some of the roughest country you can imagine.

I've hunted unit 27 for both bear and bull elk. If you go to the right area (right depending on your frame of mind and physical limits), it will be some good hunting for bear. But be forewarned, it is rough, hot, steep, and remote.

There's a reason why there's lots of bears still in there.

I don't know anything about that group, but, if it helps, take a look at Timeberland Outfitters in Flagstaff:

I went with them 3 years ago for elk. They hunted their asses off for me and my dad. They were first rate guides and first rate guys to hunt with. I highly recommend them.
