Bear

I've never hunted bear, but I figured I'd give it a go this year. Anyone else done it before? Tips? Advice? Sites to check out so I can learn more?

I have been to Canada a couple of times. In my opinion, Saskatchwan is the best place to go. We hunted near Meadow Lake and between 6 of us we had seen 54 the first two days. We saw black, brown and blonde color phases. Be patient and wait for a big one. They are there.

i loved bear hunting in canada. need to make another hunting/fishing trip back up there sometime

Right on! I'd love to do that some time. I'm actually talking about the blacks in east TN.

it is a shame that there is a huntable population in my backyard and i have to travel a hundred miles to hunt

I am going to give it a shot next year. I am wanting to start trying something different but don't have the money to travel that far every year so I will exploit my states resources first.

most Canada hunts will now run you at least 3500, and that's really on the low end. Air fare is also very high. not to mention if you need a rental car to drive on into camp. Arkansas is a close option, lots of bears, big bodies. Decent cost.
