1171.0. "BOWHUNTING FOR BEAR INFORMATION?" by WBCKIT::LANIER () Thu Jul 23 1992 10:21

    My husband would like to go bowhunting for bear. He does very well
    bowhunting for deer and he is a target archery shooter. I would like to
    give him a bear hunting trip for either Christmas or his birthday which
    is in March so it would be for the 1993 season I guess. I have looked
    in the bear files but most information is a couple years old so I was
    wondering if you could give me some information. I would like some
    information on bear hunting in Canada, Northeastern States and the
    Western States. Also how much would a trip to Canada cost? Are there
    licenses involved? Are their groups you can go with, etc. 
    
    I would appreciate any information you can give me. We live in Maryland
    by the way.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Laura

	Laura, Check some of the advertisements in the back of magazines like, Hunting, Bowhunter etc... That will at least give you an idea or two. Also, places like the "North America Hunting Club" puts out a listing of places that their members have hunted along with the results. Christine

1171.4	Thank you!	WBCKIT::LANIER		`Thu Jul 23 1992 16:59`	8
	Thank you all for the information. I didn't even think about looking in his magazines or anything. Thanks also to the people who sent me mail. I really appreciate it. P.S. I'm pretty lucky too, he doesn't say to much when I'm out in the malls! I'll let you know how it turns out. Laura
1171.5		SA1794::CHARBONND	Think cosmically, act loco	`Mon Jul 27 1992 17:37`	5
	re.0 Laura, you mention the west, but some of the best bear-hunting is in Maine. Also, in some places, they have spring bear-hunting, so you may not have to wait 'til fall.
1171.6	What about Maine?	WBCKIT::LANIER		`Tue Jul 28 1992 09:16`	6
	regarding .5. Okay tell me about Maine. I guess I just assumed out west there was lots of woods and lots of bear. I appreciate all the mail I have received also. Laura
1171.7		HEFTY::CHARBONND	Think cosmically, act loco	`Tue Jul 28 1992 10:23`	3
	re.6 Well, they have several guide services, and hunting is from stands over bait, which is how it's usually done. The bears aren't usually huge, but they are plentiful.
1171.8	Lots of woods up here too.	DNEAST::BAKER_CHUCK	Human Input Required...	`Tue Jul 28 1992 14:18`	6
	We also have lots of woods. And very many guides. If you hire one make sure that it's a reputable one. Chuck

	you might go to your local library and look into some mags. for the area you are interested in. Just a couple, COLORADO OUTDOORS, ALASKA, CANADIAN WILDERNESS (I think), BOWHUNTERS and BOWHUNTING WORLD which you will find a section in the back that covers just about any- where. Good luck in your search. ERIC,
