Utah has recently taken steps to increase Black bear opportunities throughout the state and hunters will now have several options. Seasons are broken into separate classes depending on the time of year they occur in. Generally, these will be spring, summer, and fall. Bears can be hunted with the aid of bait and hounds, but there are certain limits for every unit dictating when certain methods can be used or not. Hunters are encouraged to pay close attention to individual unit regulations when planning their hunt.
