Default bear hunts with bows

I was just curious if anyone knew any areas they could recommend for bear hunting with a bow. I'd like to go to Canada but it just isn't an option at this point. I want it to be semi guided with a reasonable price and high success rate

I think going to Canada would be your best bet.
And I think in most places you can get 2 tags.

If it wasn't such a pain to get a tag in WI, I would take you free of charge. I have land in the northern part of WI and the bear are thick up there.

Turnpike Ridge Outfitters owner Don Holstrom in Maine. He guides spring hunts in Quebec but is known as Mr. Bear. From what I understand he is single handedly respondsible for more bear harvest than anyone on the continent....very successful, very reasonable. Do a search online, you'll find him.
