I have been on many Black Bear Bowhunts (MInn., Ws., Ontario & Quebec)-you have lots of excellent Bear hunting in Quebec & eastern Canada. Maine also has some excellent bear hunting available-you may want to try searching as there are many outfitters in that state. I took a 19" skull P&Y Bear in Quebec a few years back.
Being in your neck of the woods-I would try Maine or even Newfoundland or New Brunswick (2 Bear, I think).
