Baited Black Bear hunt w/ a 13 year old- Recommendation?

[roymunson]

I'm in NE Ohio and plan on doing a hunt in spring of 2027 with my 13 year old. Would like to do a high percentage hunt and possibly some walleye/ pike fishing during the day.

Any good recommendations? Could stay domestic, but I'd think a southern Ontario hunt would work too.

Thanks fellas...

Ever thought of coming to Alberta? We have nearly 100% success, good bears, wall tents, good food and safe blinds, stands and such for youth hunting experiences... A flight isnt too bad and we can arrange taxidermy and international shipping.. Good luck either way.

Got a response, I guess you have to be 16 to hunt in Ontario? Seems odd, but ok

Maybe alberta is the place

He can sit still better than I can.

To make it high percentage you need hounds or an established bait. Bear baiting in the spring does not just mean throwing some random bait out and sitting on it.

Northern Idaho is where I’d go. Tags are cheap and you can get 2x tags.

PM me if you want an outfitter recommendation.
