Black Bear in the Breaks of the Snake

One of the best times of year to hunt bear is in the late summer. And one of the best places to find them is in Northeast Oregon’s Snake River, Imnaha and Chesnimnus Units.

When berries ripen in Northeast Oregon, hunters have a chance to see high concentrations of black bear as they move down out of the mountains to put on their winter fat.
