Spring Bear Hunts

Spring Bear
Hunting Expeditions

Broken Hart Adventures offers premier outdoor experiences in Montana's breathtaking wilderness, specializing in thrilling spring bear hunting expeditions that combine adventure with expert guidance. As winter's grip loosens and Montana's rugged landscape awakens, our spring bear hunts provide an unparalleled opportunity to pursue black bears in their natural habitat during peak activity season. Our experienced guides lead you through pristine wilderness areas where bears emerge from hibernation, foraging in meadows and hillsides dotted with fresh spring growth.


These carefully planned expeditions take advantage of longer daylight hours and optimal weather conditions, offering hunters the chance to spot bears as they venture out after months of winter slumber. From summer guest ranch vacations and multi-day fishing expeditions to our signature guided hunting adventures, we provide unforgettable experiences in some of the most beautiful country Montana has to offer.
