I bought this book for tips on black bear hunting for the Northeast U.S. region. The book is well-made as others have stated, the paper is heavy and the photos are vivid color, which is nice to see in this day and age.
The book goes into a good deal of detail in explaining the habits and mindset of black bears. There were parts of the book that I did not find too useful such as the large sections on hunting over bait and with hounds,these practices are illegal in my state. I personally would have preferred to see more on spot & stalk,and hunting from a ground blind. The book also does not discuss preferred bullet construction for this potentially dangerous game species. Outside of these shortcomings it is an informative and helpful hunting book.

Black Bear Hunting is an exceptional book for the hunter. Unlike most hunting titles that quickly turn into a list of rifles, cartridges and retread ballistics table, Black Bear Hunting dedicates only 10 of its 370 pages to a the selection of appropriate weapon; smokeless and blackpowder rifles and handguns as well as archery equipment. The remainder of the book, in exceptional detail and clarity, covers animal behavior, habits and habitat, specific locations of dense population and high hunting success rates, and many very specific approaches to hunting. In the latter parts there is, again, very detailed information on everything from field dressing to preparing a trophy animal.
Excellent author; great writing style, easy to follow, clear and logical presentation of information. The production quality of the book is excellent, including the photography that appears throughout the book. I’m glad I bought the book.

When I decided to learn about black bear hunting I purchased several current books on the subject including this one. Smith’s book proved to be my favorite by far. Not only is Smith an experienced hunter, he is also a great writer. He writes clearly and concisely making “Black Bear Hunting” an easy and pleasurable read. The book is also beautifully published on high gloss paper with amazingly clear photographs compared to many other books on the subject. I learned tons about black bear hunting and consider this book my bible on the subject. My advice to you. Buy the book, you won’t be disappointed.

This is easily the best black bear hunting book available. Mr. Smith has over 40 years of experience, the book is new (2007) and contains all you need to know about every type of black bear hunting. It’s fun to read and informative at the same time. I highly recommend this book!
