RE: Spring Bear Hunt....help!
Here's one I can highly recommend.
TurnPike Ridge Outfitters owned by Don Helstrom
HCR 69 box 558
Medway ME 04460
207-746-5860
He's out of Maine and offers fall hunts there however he springs in Quebec. I was afraid of booking a bear hunt and after learning my Mom's new husband(then) hunted with this outfitter several times with fantastic success, I booked and went with him.....6 of 8 guys took bear that week in camp, the 7th missing two with his bow and the 8th, he wouldn't kill a bear if one was tied up....
The week prior, the other camp he ran took 6 of 8 as well.
He is particular and when they set out sites, no one but you will hunt said sites either before or after you...I liked that.
I hunted in '98 and it was $900, I'm not sure what it is today.....if you go to the Harrisburg, PA sport show, he is always there.
Again, I highly recommend him and I wouldn't do that if I didn't have the confidence you would as well.
