...awarded to our website! The American Bear Association/Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary Photo Policy
GENERAL PUBLIC
The general public may photograph and video the bears from the viewing platform at the Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary during our open hours. It is a wonderful way to enjoy your visit and relive the experience later. We ask that you refrain from using tripods, as they may impede the viewing experience of other visitors. Monopods are acceptable. The Sanctuary is open to the public each Tuesday through Sunday, from 5PM till dusk, between Memorial Day and Labor Day. We are closed on Mondays, except holidays. PROFESSIONAL USAGE
Benefits:
There are 80+ individual wild black bears that visit the Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary throughout the summer season. They range in age from sows with spring cubs to old males approaching their thirtieth birthday. They vary in color from the deepest black to all shades of brown. They exhibit natural behaviors that even seasoned researchers rarely, if ever get to witness including scent marking, mating, play, dispersal, nursing, and dominance struggles. Some have called the Sanctuary Âthe best place in North America to photograph wild black bears in their natural habitatÂ. Contact:
If a professional photographer, videographer, moviemaker, or any individual wants to film or view the bears during closed hours, a fee will be required. A reservation for such use of the Sanctuary must be made in advance by contacting The American Bear Association (ABA) office in Orr at 218- 757-0172 or by writing to The American Bear Association, PO Box 77, Orr, MN 55771.
