Preparing For Your Black Bear Hunting Adventure

I decided to break this black bear hunting preparation post into two sections. The first part can be found here:

Part 1: Choosing the Right Black Bear Hunting Outfitters.

Part Two: Preparing For Your Black Bear Hunting Adventure

To be fully prepared, have your outfitter send you a list of important things to take along for your weeks stay.  Here are a few examples of items that I believe have made for better black bear hunting experiences:

* Passport and proper identification for border officials
* Bug Suit (if hunting during bug season)
* Two-way Radios
* Clothes for all weather conditions (hot, cold, rain, etc…)
* Snack food items
* Camera
* Compact foldable soft weapon cases
* Cooler & Meat Bags
* Knife & Tool Kit
* Non-scented soaps, shampoos, etc…

There is one final very important note to mention.  Have your outfitter send you a non-resident firearm declaration for you to prepare in advance.  They take about 20 minutes to fill out at home, but will save you time with custom and border officials.  Remember that all rifles will need to be removed from their respected cases, so don’t have them buried under your luggage and hunting gear.
