Looking to take my daughter on a black bear hunt, and looking for recommendations. Over the counter tags preferably, affordable with a high opportunity rate. She’s 10 and it would be a great experience for both myself and her. Was looking into Maine but now I’m wondering if we should get up into Canada. Thanks for any advice and recommended outfitters.

John

Yes Bernie is best bet but I have hunted bear in 6 states and 2 provinces I have been to Ontario 4 times it is definitely the most cost effective and easy to get a tag

If you’re planning on coming up, I can my other brother Daryl is pretty good. Think he’s got 2 tags left for next spring. He had over 50 bait sites going this spring.

How’s the tag availability ? I’ve been hearing what you’re saying.

These guys have a good success rate and had nice sized bears. Plus the fishing is good if you tag out. I would take my own boat for the fishing.

Eric, how's the mange situation there ? I've seen a lot of posts on FB from SWVA where the bears seem to have mange. But I understand that may not be truly representative.

I have never seen a bear in my area with the mange. I have multiple different bears on camera weekly and not one with mange. Eric

I had good luck with adrenaline outfitters in Manitoba. You will tag out saw many bears on stand each day and I believe they cater to the younger hunters price wise.

How’s the area for public land to hunt on or how hard to get permission on private property
