Can anyone provide me with the name of a good outfitter for this type of hunt. Any information is appreciated.

Bear-Down Outfitter and Guide Service
Hunt north of Duluth on public and private land. Bear-Down Outfitters and Guide Service can set you up on active baits. There are a large numbers of bear in our two zones and tags should be available even after the drawing.
You will be staying in a clean comfortable cabin with full electricity, kitchen appliances, cooking utensils and electric heat.
Food is not included[/b] so you should bring your own or you can eat at near by restaurants.
If you get your bear early we can offer excellent fishing opportunities as well. Fishing for walleye, northern pike and pan fish on area lakes will help you enjoy the rest of your stay.
Our Standard Bear hunt package. This is a 5 day bear hunt with your guide. Your guide will bring you to your stand and pick you up after hunting hours. If you are successful your bear will be field dressed, caped and quartered and placed in a cooler until your departure…………………………………†¦â€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦...Price $1000.00[/b]
If you have a group of 5 hunters[/b]……………………………….. Price $4500.00[/b]
NOTE[/b]:We highly recommend that all hunters practice and sight in their weapon for the hunt. Should a hunter wound a bear that cannot be recovered their hunt is over. They may stay for the full time the hunt is booked but hunting is over since other hunters will be coming and we do not want to lose bears that would be available to them. [/i]Licenses [/b]– Bear license applications should be available in March each year with deadlines by May. You can apply on the internet at www.dnr.state.mn.us, or we can help you get the paperwork filled out. If you are not successful in the lottery there is a strong possibility that tags may be available over the counter due to being under applied. Non-resident tags cost $196.00 and resident are $39.00.

I have booked several hunters with these guys over the last few years and most of them have been returning. Even the guys that didn't get bear are going back. He will start booking in the spring but he gives preferences to past hunters for first bookings.
Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks
