Meet Guide Eastern Primal Outfitters
Meet Your Guide, David Collins & Team
Come with Eastern Primal Outfitters for an action-packed traditional black bear fair chase hunt with expertly trained hounds!
We are a family-owned operation located in Beaufort County NC. We host some of the finest hunting grounds up and down the coast line of North Carolina for black bear. We hunt in swamps, poccosons, thickets, briar patches and more! We are one of the only legal live feeding operations in North Carolina, guaranteeing you a fun adventure on your bear hunt.
You will be hunting over some of the finest bear dogs North Carolina has to offer. Our black bears are some of the largest in the world. Because of the abundance of agriculture, it allows the bears to grow to where the cold does not bother them and they do not hibernate or go into torpor. This means our bears eat year-round and simply grow! Our bears put on roughly 100-150 pounds per year on average with the expectation of a 3 year old bear weighing in around 300-450 pounds!
David Collins and team cater their trips to guests who have the physical ability to walk and move for long periods of time. Eastern Primal enjoys teaching new hunters the tricks of the trade, so no matter if you are experienced or novice, be prepared for action and fun.
Customers who possess a valid hunting license for North Carolina with a Bear E-Stamp are welcome to book!
David and team enjoy making home-cooked meals for you during your stay. Enjoy locally sourced foods such as steak, vegetables, desserts and more.
