We are looking to go on a black bear hunt, it won't be until 2014 but want to start doing the research right away.
We are open to US or Canda but currently are leaning towards Maine (open to almost anywhere though).
For me, I am looking at an outfitter that provides good service, quality lodging and meals, and friendly people. In addition I would prefer a location that offers greater opportunity at a larger bear. To be honest I am not too interested in paying a few thousand dollars and shooting a 100# bear (understanding of course that those things can't be controlled and that the are certinaly no guarantees).
Of course I don't want to break the bank but we have plenty of time to save.
Any suggestions from you guys as to some of the better places to look into? Any experiences you've had would be appreciated?
