Thanks Jorgy. Arkansas would work too if anybody knows of someone in that area. I will be moving to TX this summer so NM an AR are about the only places with a bear season that I would be able to get to. I plan on hunting AR for bear this fall but after hunting behind dogs for the first time this season ( I hunted hogs behind dogs for the first time this year. OH MY GOD!! What a rush!!) I really want to hunt bear with dogs.
