Bear Hunters' Guide to
Hunting Black Bears in Maryland 2012
Western Maryland is home to a thriving population of black bears offering hunters a unique chance to hunt this game animal throughout Garrett and Allegany counties. The black bear is challenging to hunt - a master of their environment. They roam vast areas - often traveling several miles a day moving through their surroundings with an incomparable caution, paying attention to every detail of their surroundings. For a hunter to take a wild black bear is a true achievement. It is possible, though, for you to rise to the challenge and be one of Maryland’s successful bear hunters, even if you are new to bear hunting.
