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.
