You and your guide have checked the wind and made the voyage to an open meadow with deep green grass surrounded by thick timber. Your guide points out fresh scat and a large track in the mud along the trail and positions you behind some brush with instructions to keep an eye on a nearby spring. You sit silently watching as your guide let’s out a blood curdling scream which emulates a calf elk in distress. The call send shivers through your body as you look back. Your head turns again toward the spring and as if appearing from nowhere, a large cinnamon bear is heading straight in your direction. He is on the hunt with his jaws popping as you raise your rifle.
Stockton Outfitters provides fully guided spring black bear hunts in South Western Montana from our base camp. 4WD’s are used to access the country from camp, but all hunting is done on our two feet. This lodge based hunt combines the mobility and the flexibility to hunt the entirety of our 187+ square mile permit area. We offer archery, rifle, black powder and pistol bear hunting opportunities. The pelts are prime and so is the hunting.
Spring Bear hunting is a good time to relax and enjoy everything Montana’s high country has to offer. Don’t forget to bring along your camera.

Stockton Outfitters conducts its Spring Bear and General Rifle Season hunts from the comforts of Sugar Loaf Lodge and Cabins. Hunters are provided with modern accommodations within a rustic setting. Gourmet soups, pies, and meals are served fire side within the confines of the main lodge.
Nestled just outside the Pintler Wilderness Area in Southwestern Montana, Stockton Outfitters’ Ten-Mile Cr. Base Camp is seated at an approximate 7,300 ft. elevation. The terrain is high yet very gentle in grade making it pleasurable to hunt. The camp sits aside Ten-Mile Creek which drains down to Mill Creek below and eventually into the Big Hole River. The majestic Mount Henry sits high (10,500 ft.) as a back drop to the endless miles of roadless country which are accessed by foot. Ten-Mile Cr. Base Camp is accessed by custom Jeeps and provides a comfortable yet western experience. Mouth Watering meals are prepared daily by our Camp Chef.
