Hey guys,

I’m wanting to head out next fall for black bear in Hyde County, NC. I’m looking for guide recommendations anyone may have.

If you've gotten a Hyde County black bear drop a pic!

Maybe we could get together this comming year do some scouting? Were also restarting the NC SCI chapter.

Several years ago I talked with Dare to Hyde Outfitters at the Houston Safari Club expo. Lots of big bears but very expensive. I thought their name was pretty clever, especially after learning Dare and Hyde are names of two counties in NC.

An outfitter in BC told me one of the drawbacks to a NC bear is the hide quality.

We have alot of game lands out that way. Ive been thinking bout scoping some out this spring.

Whats the issue with the hides?

For the 25k price. What do they do different than what you can find at gamelands?

Provide the very real opportunity to collect a true world-class B&C giant. If that is not a priority...yes...there are more reasonably priced options.

Also...I would contact them about pricing...there are several options.

I have reached out a couple of times to several Hyde County operators to ask about bear hunts. I have never gotten a reply out of 5 or 6 inquiries. This happens sometimes with operators that have full bookings and aren't looking for more clients. I still think they should reply but that's on them.

Wow. Both unprofessional and inexcusable. I'm very curious to know if Dare to Hyde is one of those that have been unresponsive. I have a very good hunting amigo in NC...his In-Laws own...and run... that outfit. If so, I am very happy to pass along the critique, as someone is failing epically at their position, and I'm certain they would appreciate the heads up.
Merry Christmas GC.

Merry Christmas Spike. I don't recall and I'm not accusing them of anything. It was some years ago and I moved on to Saskatchewan and taking record book bears there and elsewhere. If you can't get into those special NC counties for bears, everyone should consider the lottery draw for swan permits. Fantastic hunting and not many trophy rooms have a tundra swan!

Good morning from the Eje Cafetero!

We hunted with CPT Purvis almost 10 years ago. This was before all the "celebrity great hunters" shot big NC bears for their shows and the prices went ridiculous.

He weighed 482 pounds and I shot him with my Merkel 9.3x74R double.

Safe hunting and Happy Christmas
