By Miranda Sweeney


People have been capturing animals since time immemorial, sometimes doing it for food or as a sport. The fun in bear hunting in Utah is something many people, not only in Utah but even in the environs look forward to. It is authorized there as long as one follows the guidelines that are given to go bear hunting.

People put up camps and wait for days until they can sport the bears. It has become popular as people come from far and about just to hunt for the black bear which is the common type found there. There are other types of bears like the brown bears, white and cinnamon. They train dogs to help them in the hunt and for protection.

There are people who are trained and are also licensed to carry out the hunting. They act as guides for the people who go for the sport. They have hired and paid to do it. There are specific areas where the hunting is allowed. It cannot be done just anytime one feels like but during certain seasons. With the hired guides, one has more chances of succeeding and faster, covering a wider area, other than going alone.

Booking the tents that are already set up there is an option that the campers have. Some prefer to come with their own tents but as there are packages that are offered when one books the tents, it is easier to use them. The packages include meals, instead of carrying food and cooking utensils, clean water. Since it sometimes snows at night, they are advised to have warm cloths and warm sleeping bags.

When out camping people are advised to take safety precautions because these are the same areas where the bears live. Some of the things they are advised carry out are :- always clean up well after eating, always report when you sport a bear wandering near the camp, never go out alone it is advisable to go in a group, do not let children wander around unattended, have enough light especially at night.

The weapons used when out hunting are like guns, bows, arrows and spears. If one makes any noise while out hunting, the bears might run away making it hard to get them so silence must be observed. Traps are also set on the bear way. It is good to set the traps a few weeks before going out hunting. In the traps food that have a strong smell are put to attract them.

In the event that one sees a bear walking around and they sense danger, they should try and fight the bears using the weapons they had. If you happen to shoot one dead make sure you report to the necessary people. Never go up a tree because they can climb trees.

Bear hunting is good and fun where the whether if favorable with the correct dressing and qualified guide and carry the right weapons for protection. Make sure children are never left alone.
