Default Bear huntin here in the States.

I'm looking to go bear huntin next year and I would like to hunt here in the States if I could. I have NOTHING against Canada, and I understand that there's some of the best black bear huntin there but I'd kinda like to hunt with (or have the ability to hunt with) a hand gun if I wanted to.
IF any of y'all can give me a recomendation of a reputable place I'd sure appreciate it!

Oregon has 30,000 bears in 40,000 square miles with the majority on the southern coast. If you are looking for a guided hunt I reccomend southern oregon outfitters. I have not used him but I plan to in the fall. I have heard nothing but good things about his hunts. I am doing a custom painting for a trade for a hunt. his website;

What a great web site! That does sound like a great place to hunt. I just did some checking and that's 2320.27 miles from my drive way to theirs. We were kinda hoping to drive. Anything a little closer?

Thanks for the reply!

Idaho------lots of 2 bear areas & color phase bears. Cinnamon, blondes, chocolates, & blacks.Plus not bugs---Canada is loaded with black flies, skidders, no see-ums. I'm thinking of going there next spring for a hunt-----Only problem is the size.IMO--noreal chance of a 7'------6' is probably the best----6' is a GOOD bear. CB

That's right, Idaho is a great place for bears, especially color phase bears. Montana is also a great location. We have outfitters in both states, and I would be glad to give you more details if you like. Check out our website for an intro, and let me know what you might be interested in. Spot and stalk, baited, and hound hunts are all available. Whoever you end up booking with, I hope you have a great hunt!
