Did you realize that the North American black bear, otherwise known as Ursus americanus, is not only the most prevalent species of bear in North America, but the smallest? The black bear is a fascinating creature who eats primarily vegetable matter like leaves and young shoots, though insects and larvae are also part of the black bear’s diet. Hunters can learn all about the North American black bear by reading black bear hunting guides during hunting vacations at a hunting lodge. On a hunting lodge vacation, hunters can also go on elk guided hunts during which they can learn exciting facts about elk bulls, the males of the species whose cacophonous vocalizations are called bugling. This bugling attracts the female elks who are most interested in elk bulls that bugle at the highest volume most often.

Hunting ranches in New Mexico are an excellent vacation spot for those individuals wishing to go on a big game hunt because New Mexico is regarded as one of the best states for trophy hunting mule deer and elk. While visiting elk hunting ranches, hunters can enjoy guided mule deer hunts and guided elk hunts. Post hunt, the hunting lodge is a great place to relax and meet other sportsmen with whom a hunter can discuss big game hunting and fishing. Vacationing hunters can enjoy exchanging information about prey such as bears, cougars, elk, and mule deer with one another at the hunting lodge. As well, at the hunting lodge fisherman can discuss salmon and steelhead trout, two species of anadromous fish that revisit their original hatching ground in order to spawn. Sharing information allows hunters and fishermen to become more knowledgeable and thus more successful. Vacationing at a hunting lodge makes for a fun and educational holiday. Great references here.
