He takes great care of you. He took good care of me, meeting me at the airport and going with me to a store to get my license. You will stay at a cabin on the lake so you can fish if you tag out early or fish during the day. He has employees that work 40 hours weeks keeping his spots baited up. Message me if you want his contact info. He does spring and fall hunts. He has lots of stands set up for bowhunting. I will definitely hunt up there with him again!

The other 2 friends had shots but missed. I didn't get a shot myself. I got one in the scope but he snuck into brush before I could get the crosshairs on his shoulder. Temperatures generally started out at -10 at daylight and would get up to +15 during the day. Snow was 4 to 6' deep.

You can hunt them with bow or gun during the season as well. My best luck was low pressure PM only. First afternoon there I shot a nice bear off bait. The bait is around 25 to 30 yards from the stands. You sometimes see multiple bears but sometimes just one. They are sneaky and really quiet for their size. They also will do dog hunts for them too...or at least they used to. I have never done one of those though.

I had some bear at a wild game dinner about a month ago so that may change. Last edited by bigcountry692001; 03/22/20 07:43 AM. "You cant manage a deer herd with acorns." -Dr. Craig Harper
