That may be difficult to do. Our success on bear depends on the mash. This year seems to be scattered in the mountains of Monroe county. A guide would have a difficult time due to the fact that most is public land and you are in competition so to speak with other hunters and their dogs. Best thing is to get some maps find out the areas you can and cannot hunt due to the bear sanc.s. Hope this helps. I am sure there may be some guides but do your homework and ask for references. No need in paying for nothing.
