Our BMA (Bear Management Area) is 550,000 acres in size. We have hundreds of miles of hunting roads that we try our best to clear but it is difficult to keep up plus some of the roads are starting to get washed out and are difficult to navigate with a truck so we recommend that hunters bring ATVs with them if possible. This gives us a little more flexibility on where we can put hunters.
Rate: $1800 US per hunter (minimum 2 hunters)
Rate (non-hunter): The rate for anyone who is not a hunter but accompanying a hunter is $500.00 US + tax.
A $750 US non-refundable deposit is required per person to confirm hunting reservations
Please Note: No more than 3 hunters per vehicle because of the distances between baited sites.
