Nubo and I hunted together and being Ontario residents did this hunt on our own with the help of another friend. We basically spent about $100.00 each on bait ( corn & Oats sacks and 25lb blocks of lard ) plus the cost of gasoline to get back and forth from bear country which was 3 hour drive. An outfitted hunt usually can be found for @ 1200 bucks plus the cost of your licences.
Old Nubo pulled off a great shot and got a nice bear to boot. We had a pretty good celebration that night and its a wonder no fingers were cut off the next morning when skinning it out
