Product Description
For most hunters in North America, taking a bear is incidental to hunting deer. For others, however, challenging a big bruin on its own turf is the purpose of their hunt and may become an obsession. Whether it involves hunting the wary black bear in Maine over bait, chasing a clever black bear trying to avoid a pack of hounds in the Rocky Mountains, sneaking up with a bow on a huge grizzly, placing the crosshairs on a massive brown bear as it exits an ice-cold Alaskan stream, or enduring bitterly cold temperatures and inhospitable hunting conditions while hunting the hunter—the great white polar bear—bear hunting is an adventure only for those of strong heart and mind.

In Etling’s latest book, Hunting Bears: The Most Dangerous Game, she covers all aspects of bear hunting and all species of bears to hunt—black, grizzly, brown, and polar—from North America to Russia. She has omitted no tactic, strategy, or bear behavior and includes interviews with many of the nation’s most successful bear hunters as well. Between the covers of this book is information that most bear hunters would take a lifetime to amass.

If hunting any of the bears found in North America or the world is your dream, you'll want to add HUNTING BEARS: THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME to your outdoor library. It will provide you hours of first-rate reading and will inspire you to bag your trophy bruin. It contains hard-core, useful information that you can put to the test the next time you’re afield stalking the most challenging and dangerous game found in North America today.

Reader Reviews
Etling knows large predators, that much is certain. I've read her two-volume work "Bear Attacks" and also "Cougar Attacks: Encounters of the Worst Kind." She is an excellent researcher and has left no stone unturned in order to find the best information for the bear hunter and then to report it in the fewest words possible. In other words, she cuts through the crap. Her sources are extraordinary, too. From reading her books on bear and cougar attacks it's clear that she has gleaned her information from every notable large predator biologist in North America, as well as famous bear hunters like Warren Parker, the former leader of SCI. From biology to evolutionary behaviors to tactics, reading sign, choosing the right gun or bow, hiring an outfitter, hunting from a float plane, skinning your trophy, and preparing it for the table, Etling's covered it all, and yet the book sells for a reasonable price. I've hunted bears all over the world and I know I was impressed. Reading Etling's book just makes me want to book yet another bear hunt.
