I was wondering if anyone could reccomend and outfitter for a Spring Bear Hunt for under $2500. I've never hunted bear before so this would be my first hunt. I would also prefer to hunt with an outfitter that has experience guiding bow hunters. - Thanks!

Matchbook....if you're from the east I have a great one for you in Quebec. Let me know if you want the info.

Matchbook:

I recommend that you go with the Quebec hunt that Jclav has to offer on the earlier post. I believe that it is now going for $1,600 all inclusive. You won't find a better deal. You can even add a second bear for a modest fee. You will see the bear that I took as well as my buddies on the link page. You can contact me at [email protected] I recommend that you book with Jim if you are interested. The guy goes out of his way to make sure that your trip is in order. He will even find the best prices on flights for you.
Be prepared to put on some weight on this trip. These guys have a CHEF on staff that do some REAL gourmet cooking... I am not kidding.

If you don't see a bear you get to come back for free. I assure you that if mother nature does not interfere, you will get more than several opportunities at bears.

Matchbook - If those guys weren't able to hook you up, I have hunts in Quebec and New Brunswick also...
