3-Day New Mexico Black Bear Hunt with Hounds

Devin Chavez Hunting offers an action-packed 3-day Black Bear Hunt with hounds across the rugged mountains of New Mexico. Known for producing quality black bears in a wide range of color phases—including black, chocolate, cinnamon, blonde, and even light red—these hunts provide an authentic western predator hunting experience led by one of New Mexico’s most respected houndsmen.

The hunt centers around Devin’s highly trained hounds, which he has raised and developed from pups into elite bear trackers. Hunting days typically involve covering mountain country by truck and UTV until the dogs strike a bear track. Once a track is located, guides evaluate the sign to determine if it is a mature bear worth pursuing. When the right bear is found, the hounds are released and the chase begins. From that point forward, hunters become part of an adrenaline-filled pursuit through rugged terrain as the dogs work the track.

This is true fair-chase hunting that blends strategy, patience, and excitement. With a reported 95% success rate, Devin Chavez Hunting has built a reputation for putting clients on quality bears while delivering a hard-working, highly professional hunting experience.

Available hunt windows run August 16–24 and September 25–October 20, booked in three-day increments.
