Reconnect with yourself and your primal presence through hunting one of North America's largest predators - the American Black Bear.
No one is the same after tracking and killing an American black bear. No one.
Do You Lack Confidence?
Do You Want To Be More Connected To Your Food?
If so our Primal Hunt Leadership Academy is right for you.
To hunt is to not only be connected to the food we eat but it is to become an embodied participant in the life cycle and immerse ourselves in an ecosystem. Nothing else puts us in contact with nature, our own primal essence, and the wild as much as hunting. Nothing.
The black bear is one of the most sacred animals in North America. Some tribes revered them for their ability to heal, move between realms, and their embodiment of both masculine and feminine divine energies. During our Primal Hunt Academy, you will be paired with one of our guides as we spot and stalk black bear in the Eastern Sierra and learn all the intricacies of hunting one of America's most elusive game animals.
