The closer guarantee on black bear US or Canada?

[KyFried]

No doubt we (the US) have plenty but for some of you that have hunted both where should I plan a black bear hunt that has the most numbers and the best chance at a trophy? Not necessarily looking for a world record but a decent sized bear with the most shot opportunities. Include a reputable outfitter if you know one.

If you’re wanting to spend the money and do an outfitted hunt, I’d do a 3rd week in may hunt in mid BC. Primitive or copper river.
I’d rather walk the fresh grass and see new stuff daily. If you wanted to hunt over bait, I’d still go to Canada but would look at Alberta outfitters. It would be real hard to come home from a spring hunt in Canada without a bear

The average guy doesn’t live in a state where they can hunt bears. If you’re looking for a one and done big bear opportunity Canada for sure is your best bet over a bait.

Alaska draws in the big bear areas have become slim, and at just about the same cost, and much better hides, Canada is again the answer.

This outfit would be high on my list if I wanted a big bear.https://mikesoutfitting.com/
