Georgia Black Bear Hunting Guides and Outfitters

The American Black Bear: Inhabiting much of forested North America, the American black bear, Ursus americanus, is found from northern Alaska east across Canada to Labrador and Newfoundland, and south through much of Alaska, virtually all of Canada, and most of the United States {including Georgia} into central Mexico {Nayarit and Tamaulipas states}. There are many Georgia black bear hunting guides and outfitters offering trips or hunts with a wide range of services.

The American black bear occurs in many color phases in addition to its usual glossy black coat, brownish muzzle, and small white patch on the chest, which helps hide it from hunters on a big game hunt. The most common alternate coloration is one of various shades of brown, with the reddish brown, or cinnamon, phase being quite common in the western United States; brown and black-colored cubs may appear in the same litter. Other color phases include a blue, with a brownish muzzle, the blue being more precisely a bluish black; and a white or yellowish white, with brown eyes {not the red eyes of an albino}. The blue phase, found in the region of Yukatat Bay and the St. Elias range in southeastern Alaska, is known locally as the glacier bear. The white phase, known as Kermode’s bear or the island white bear is found along the coast of central British Columbia {Gribble Island}.

The American black bear grows to about 6 feet {1.8 meters} in head and body length, plus a six inch {15-cm.} tail, about 40 inches {102 cm} high at the shoulders, and usually 200 to 300 pounds {about 90 to 135 kg}, but up to about 600 pounds {about 270 kg} in weight. The size of this trophy only encourages Georgia hunting guides and outfitters to offer trips for this big game animal. In some classifications, it is placed in a genus of its own as Euarctos americanus.

Georgia black bear hunting is a extremely fun activity that most sportsmen enjoy. The guided trip that you plan with one of these guides or outfitters can be expensive, so make sure that you are getting the services that you think you need for having the best time.
