Budriser, when are you going? Will you be hunting over bait or with hounds?

Bigger bears in Canada.. record books speak for themselves.. If I was going to spend the money..I'd go north. But hey I'm too much of a DIYer andcheap to pay a guide when I can kill nice bears here in Idaho..

Best of luck

tylers Dad,
I will be hunting with hounds, never done that either so it will be a great experience.

Gentlemen,

I just got back from my first bear hunt (Creston BC / Shadow Mountain Outfitters). I got a black black bear with a skull that is real close to 19"; I won't know for sure until the taxidermist's beetles do their work. My 14 yr old son shot two. We saw moose, elk, whitetail, mulies, and grizzlies. The guides, scenery, and accomodations were great. I can't wait to return.

Shedd33,

I just noticed that your from the northern panhandle of ID. I have in-laws in Hope ID. In fact, prior to heading to BC and after returning from BC, we stayed at my brother in law's cabin in Hope. Your blessed to live in such a beautiful place.

Budriser,
How did the hunt go? I have hounds and it is a ball chasing bears with them. Right now is catch and release season for them in most areas.

I have a friend that went to Alberta two years ago and shot an archeryrecord book black bear, I think he paid around 3500.00 for one bear..

I am going to Ontario this September on my first black bear archery hunt, quite a bit cheaper but the bears are smaller also....

Good Luck with whatever you choose.
