Hyde County, NC Black Bear Guide Recommendations?

[BGGMKLR]

$25,000 is impressive. My hunt with Adam Boyd was $8,000 two years ago and several B&C bears were taken.

I am hunting with this group next year. The one on the left was 582 and the other one was 476. I think both will make Boone and Crockett with the one on the making the All-Time list. The cost is $5,000

Both very good Yogis. Congrats.

Took this guy hunting with Tri County Guide Service Adam Boyd - Owner, in the northern part of Hyde County last year. I was intentionally looking for a smaller bear who would make a good rug. Not a great picture because I shot him at last light but he had big paws and a big head. I should have had him measured before the skull was sent off to be cleaned, he may make Bonne and Crocket. 405 pounds and weight were down in 2024 across NC. 4851 bears were taken in NC in 2023, of which, 2,200 were over 500 pounds.

There were 10 guys in hunt camp and all tagged out. Mine was the 2nd smallest. A father and son took two bears over 500 pounds before noon of the first day.

More big black bears are taken in the coastal region of NC than anywhere else in the world.

I just booked with Adam! I will be there November of this year. I am really hoping to harvest a 400 pound bear.

Adam does a good job with it. The week I hunted with him everyone tagged out with the smallest being a 375 lbs sow.

This year I am hunting opening day of the first season with Conman's Guide Service on Lake Phelps in Caswell since I was invited by a good friend. Hyde County has no fast food restaurants or stoplights. More bears live in Hyde County than people.
