Montana Bear Outfitter

[LSL57]

So reading through the forums, NW Montana is a no-go for Elk but has a ton of Bears. I am thinking of planning a first Bear hunt in spring 2027 and figure first year do an outfitter to learn the ropes instead of DIY, and they do not seem to be that expensive. Probably take my son as well for the adventure. Gets me a year to upgrade glass from mid-grade whitetail and turkey woods gear.

Are there any outfitters I need to absolutely avoid? I see a lot more reviews on the elk and deer outfitters, not really the Montana Bear. Or are there just so many bears in the woods of NW Mt a blind squirrel could find one?
