Hyde County Bruins

Hyde County, North Carolina is widely considered the top destination for hunters in pursuit of the largest/heaviest bears possible. Hunting seasons take place in November and December when the bears have pristine hair quality and are concentrated on agricultural food sources, and the odds of killing a massive bear are at their highest. All hunting takes place on private lands managed for long-term quality hunting with a limited annual harvest.

Hunters will use three different methods for taking a bear. Ambush along the edges of corn fields and other crops, hunting over bait from a stand or blind, and in some cases follow the hounds as they chase and then bay up the big bruins.

Hyde County black bears often square well over seven feet in size and weigh over 400 lbs on average with 500+ pound bears considered common each season. And any time you are in the field, you could encounter one of the 600-700 pound beasts that make Hyde County the most sought-after trophy black bear hunting destination in the United States.

All hunting packages include a guide, meals, lodging, and field care of the trophy. If you are interested in booking a world-class black bear hunt please call our office for more information at 1-800-303-1304.
