Bearpaw Guides

Steve and Tyler run Bear Paw Guides as a father-and-son operation on the east shore of Upper Red Lake in Waskish, Minnesota. Between them, they've got over 60 years of combined guiding experience—this is all they do, year-round.

They focus primarily on area 13, where their bait stations have been established and actively maintained for over 17 years. The Big Bog area around Waskish is known for big black bears, and Bear Paw Guides has documented success: countless entries in the Pope and Young Record Book and Boone and Crockett North American Record Book.

Open-ended hunts. You hunt for 5 days during your first time period. If you don't harvest a bear, you can return to hunt again at a later date at no additional cost. This approach significantly increases your odds of success over a single week.

• •Ground blinds or elevated ladder stands
• •Accommodate any personal weapon of your choice
• •Accept hunters of all skill levels
