Black Bear is one of our favorite animals to watch and lucky enough to have a chance to hunt. These hunts take place on public land and are done so either spot and stalk or over water. With proper camera placement and numerous hours scouting, we consistently have success on these hunts archery or rifle with many opportunities for bears daily. Our archery hunts consist of sitting water in the spring to chasing bears in the prickly pears in September. These hunts typically take place over 7 days with 5 days of hunting and two days of travel.

Every hunt we offer will be fully outfitted for the duration of the hunt (typically up to 5 days and 1 day of travel). The guide(s), food, lodging, and transportation will be included. You can either provide your own firearm or other legal means of harvest or use one of ours and possess a valid hunting license and tag for the given unit and dates. Arizona and Mexico have different regulations which we would be happy to educate you on if needed. We can help with the Arizona draw system and provide the tags, weapons permits, and export permits needed while hunting Sonora Mexico.

Mesquite Mountain Outfitters is a fully outfitted guiding service who specializes in hunts for various species all across Arizona and Sonora Mexico. We have 30+ combined years of experience in the field scouting and successfully harvesting just about every species currently offered in the regulations. Hunting is not only our passion but it is also our way of life.

The Black Bear is a medium-sized bear that varies in color which we actively hunt in Arizona and New Mexico. It is the continents smallest but also the most common bear species. Their diets vary greatly depending on season, weather, and location. In Arizona they can travel quite large distances in search of food sources and will commonly relocate their “home” turf based on this. During this recent drought they have moved out of areas we have commonly seen them in the past but rest assured we always have our eyes on them and can provide you multiple opportunities during your guided hunt!
