Colorado isn’t just elk country — it’s also home to incredible opportunities for bear hunting. Whether you’re drawn to the challenge, the adventure, or the thrill of the hunt, pursuing bears in the rugged mountains of Colorado is an experience every hunter will remember.
At Mountain View Adventures, we guide hunters through prime bear country, providing the expertise, land access, and safety measures needed to make your hunt successful and unforgettable.
Why Hunt Bears in Colorado?
Bears are smart, cautious, and powerful animals, which makes hunting them both challenging and rewarding. Colorado is home to black bears, and their habitats span forests, mountains, and meadows, offering hunters the chance to test their skills in some of the state’s most scenic landscapes.
Hunting bears isn’t just about the harvest — it’s about the experience: tracking, spotting, and outsmarting one of North America’s most cunning creatures.
Best Times to Hunt Bears
The most productive seasons for bear hunting in Colorado are:
Spring (April–June): Bears emerge from hibernation and move into lower elevations to feed.
Fall (September–October): Bears fatten up for hibernation, increasing their activity and visibility.
Mountain View Adventures’ experienced guides know the best times and locations to increase your chances of encountering these magnificent animals.
Preparation Is Key
Successful bear hunting requires more than just skill — it requires preparation. Key considerations include:
Gear: Camouflage clothing, sturdy boots, and bear safety equipment are essential.
Knowledge of Behavior: Understanding feeding patterns, movement, and territory helps you anticipate a bear’s path.
Scouting: Look for tracks, scat, and bedding areas to locate active bears.
Preparation ensures you can hunt effectively while staying safe in the wilderness.
Guided vs. Semi-Guided Bear Hunts
Mountain View Adventures offers both fully guided and semi-guided bear hunts:
Fully Guided Hunts: Our professional guides lead you through prime bear country, help with tracking, spotting, and safety, and ensure you have the best chance for success.
