I would like to take my two son's on a black bear hunt in two years for their high school graduation gift. Don't have any idea who's good and who's not. Could some of you pass on the names of any good bear outfits? Color doesn't matter, and bait or hounds doesn't either. Both U.S. or Canada are fine. We are open to suggestions. I would like not to go over 2500 on price per hunter and less would be better. I wantto put us in a good place for them to harvest a nice bear. Our goal for a bear would be 200 lbs and up. Will not shoot a little one just to take something home!

Thanks for the recommendations!

Take the kids to Kodiak Island, lather them up in Molases, tie them to a big tree and leave for the day. Look at it this way, you wont need to shell out big bucks for college

Sent you an email ptn.

Try http:www.//auldreekielodge.com It is under new ownership,great cabins,lots of bear,I took one near 300# my dad took one at 160#,I saw 7 bears total. I have hunted bear with four different Ontario outfitters and this is my favorite.

I would try pickerelbaycabins.com 100% shot opportunity and pope and young bears every year. Excellent walleye fishing included.

This is a good place too.
