I'm looking to go black bear huntin. I put out a thread in the big game section and asked if anybody could recommend a good place to go bear huntin and all I'm getting is Canada, Canada, Canada.

Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with Canada AT ALL, and I have heard that they have some HUGE black bears,but we want to possibly use hand guns, and we really don't want to have to fly to go. We're thinking of somewhere within a days drive. Something in MN or MI or WI, or elsewhere in the lower 48???

Any suggestions??????

THANKS!
