Looking for bear hunt next spring
I am wanting to go bowhunting for bear next spring over bait. Can anyone recommend a good outfitter? I am trying to keep this rather inexpensive. I live in NC and don't mind travelling if the price is right. I have never hunted bears before.

I have hunted for 3 years with Lindsays Sporting Camps in New Brunswick. Great people, good food, they work very hard for you. They have a very high repeat clientelle. I have taken two bears with them, and could have this year (having 3 opportunities) but passed looking for an exceptional bear ( I have 3 at home already, so am running out of room!). I hope to return again next year. It is my favorite week of the year. Google Lindsays Sporting Camps.

We have an excellent New Brunswick bear hunt spring or fall. To date every client we have booked on our New Brunswick bear hunt has shot a bear. $2,000 + license and that includes ALL the Canadian taxes. If you book this hunt you will want to put in for a New Brunswick moose tag because if you get drawn and have a bear hunt booked with this outfitter they will give you a free moose hunt and they actually run a very good success % on their moose hunts as well. If your wanting a 100% "quality" bear hunt don't try to get by too cheaply. Call toll free 1-877-647-9926 or email me at [email protected]

i am also an outfitter in alberta canada. we went 200% on a 2 bear limit this spring again. averageing 6'7" nose to tail. with 65% P&Y and a couple pushing 21" skulls. i pride myself on provideing a searous trophy hunt. you will have lots of chances at good bears but it only take one chance at a bruzer to make a hunt excelent. if its average bears your after theres lots of places to hunt! dont wast your money in canada. but for that once in a life time trophy bear hunt you have to look north.....

The state up here does not have a spring hunt either. However the local Indian tribe does allow it and have guided spring bear hunts. I am not sure what they are getting for them though. But, if you are interested I can ask around and find out for you.
