This weekend, I am going on my first bear hunt. We will be guided by Shadow Mountain Outfitters (Riondel BC)
www.huntshadowmountainoutfitters.com. We'll fly from Chicago to Seattle to Spokane. Then we drive to Hope ID, where I have more in-laws. From there, Riondel is about 3 hours North. My bro-in-law, who has been hunting aggressively for 20+ years,has hunted deer, moose, and mountain lion with this outfit. Hehas been very impressed with both the quality of the operation and the abundance of wildlife. Apparently, the black, brown, cinnamin, and blonde color phases are well represented. I'm very excited.
