Bear Hunting In Utah, The Ideal Experience

By Miranda Sweeney


People have been capturing animals since time immemorial, sometimes doing it for food or as a sport. The fun in bear hunting in Utah is something many people, not only in Utah but even in the environs look forward to. It is authorized there as long as one follows the guidelines that are given to go bear hunting.

Camps are put up in those areas for the common people from around or even tourists who come to see the black bears. They train dogs to help in the protection of the campers. The type of bear commonly found Utah is the black bear. There are other types: the brown, white and cinnamon bears but only the black is found there.

The campers can choose to go out as a group to hunt but it is always advised to use the guides who are available in camps. They are trained and licensed to act as tour guides in the camps hence using them is easier as they understand the area well, they know the right outfit to use when going out, they also know the right places to look so they do not waste time going around as they have studied the area well.

Booking the tents that are already set up there is an option that the campers have. Some prefer to come with their own tents but as there are packages that are offered when one books the tents, it is easier to use them. The packages include meals, instead of carrying food and cooking utensils, clean water. Since it sometimes snows at night, they are advised to have warm cloths and warm sleeping bags.

When out camping people are advised to take safety precautions because these are the same areas where the bears live. Some of the things they are advised carry out are :- always clean up well after eating, always report when you sport a bear wandering near the camp, never go out alone it is advisable to go in a group, do not let children wander around unattended, have enough light especially at night.

The weapons used when out hunting are like guns, bows, arrows and spears. If one makes any noise while out hunting, the bears might run away making it hard to get them so silence must be observed. Traps are also set on the bear way. It is good to set the traps a few weeks before going out hunting. In the traps food that have a strong smell are put to attract them.

In the event that one sees a bear walking around and they sense danger, they should try and fight the bears using the weapons they had. If you happen to shoot one dead make sure you report to the necessary people. Never go up a tree because they can climb trees.

Hunting is a good way to go for holiday as a family and more so bear hunting. As long as you observe the weather, and abide by all the rules given in the camp, it can be something to look forward to anytime there is a holiday
