Looking For Land To Bowhunt Bear In Nw Ark.

[Muleball39]

I am looking for some land in NW ARK to bowhunt bear on this fall. The land I was going to hunt was leased to a hunting club (still pissed at my family member for it). Anyways I thought I would ask on here to see if anyone had any land that they would let me and my brother in law hunt on. I am trying to get him his first bear. We would only bow hunt and only hunt bears, so not to bother deer hunters. I guess we could even pay a hunting fee if it came down to it. Or if anyone knows of any land that is for lease or farmers that are having problems with bears. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Rodney

I saw one just north of branson in a cave..are they legal in missouri?

Not yet, I give it 5 to 10 years before we have a season.

Have you considered National Park Service land or Forestry lService land and in Newton County or Searcy County Ark?

can only bait on private land. Very hard to kill other wise with a bow. Had crossed my mind though. Just thought some of the Arkansas guys might have some land they weren't using since it is the time for the browns to be making there yearly run upstream!

I'm an avid bow hunter and would like to do some bear hunting this year too. But i have not seen a bear in a long time.

Muleball,I know a bear guide around Norfork, Ark. that baits.He can set you up with a house too.Pretty cheap around $700-800 for a three day hunt.I think he may thow in deer and/or a pig too.PM me if interested and I'll search for his number.

I have killed one before in Canada a couple years ago, I was just wanting to do my own baiting and setup for my Brother-in-law. Just not wanting to spend that kind of money.

I hear yea.I talked to the guy earlier this year, he said they did'nt get any bears last year.Said he had bears all over his bait,early bow season.....then the acorns started dropping.Bears up'ed and left his bait. I can understand why he charges what he does though,lotta time,effort,and money goes into baiting.

So........you gotta story and some pic's of that Canadian bruiser?

Not really a monster but my first with a bow, funny thing is I let a bigger one walk earlier in the week. They are very hard to judge the size. I have it on video also.
