RE: bear outfitter?
I hunted with Brian Keen of Sclater River Outfitters in Manitoba and had a great trip. Going back in June for round 2. He runs it with his son. They only take 4 hunters in the spring and 4 in thefall so you know it isn't overhunted. All of his fall hunters last year back out so it hasn't been hunted in a year. Should be a good tirp. Good luck in your search.
