Joe Kondelis
My name is Joe Kondelis, and I’ve spent a lifetime pursuing a deep passion for bear hunting that began in the hills of Butte, Montana. While bears weren’t a focus in my early hunting years, they quickly became my obsession once I set out on my own. Today, based in Wyoming, I’ve hunted bears across the West, Alaska, and Canada, and dedicate much of my time to studying their behavior, guiding others, and promoting ethical hunting. As a co-founder of the American Bear Foundation, I’ve contributed thousands of volunteer hours to conservation, research, and education. More than anything, I’m driven to share what I’ve learned, helping others develop a respect and passion for bears while continuing to learn something new every season.

Consistent Habits. Bear hunting isn’t about luck—it’s about learning how bears think and move through their environment. It comes down to spotting the subtle signs they leave behind, understanding where they feed and travel, and using time-tested methods to stay on their pattern. With the right approach, you build repeatable skills that turn each season into a smarter, more effective hunt.
Setup. In this masterclass, veteran hunter Joe Kondelis breaks down the core principles and field-tested strategies of modern bear hunting. You’ll learn how to scout with purpose, understand bear travel routes and feeding behavior, recognize high-traffic areas, select the right gear for varied terrain, and hunt ethically while staying within regulations that help preserve the resource for future seasons.
Strategy. From early-season feeding patterns to peak movement periods and the challenges of late-season pressure, Joe Kondelis walks you through real-world bear hunting tactics and shot strategies that will sharpen your skills in the field. Along the way, you’ll build the knowledge and confidence to hunt smarter, stay ethical, and make the most of every opportunity each season brings.

A few ways 360 Sportsman gives you more
I’m relatively new to big game hunting and had mostly been learning through trial and error. After finding 360 Sportsman, I signed up for the premium plan and have completed the trapping, wolf, and bear hunting courses. Each one has been excellent and packed with practical knowledge, and I’m heading into Montana spring bear season feeling far more confident.
