Due to job constraints[I work in Ag, and spring is planting season], I'm looking for a good fall black bear hunt. Spot and stalk, or a bait hunt. What about SE Alaska in the fall[by boat]? Do any of the Canadian provinces have a quality fall hunt? Would like to keep the hunt under $3500, all inclusive[ie: license, airfare, outfitter, etc.]. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a friend,Todd Loewen, that runs a fall hunt in Alberta. He hunts around a huge area of farm lands with crops. Huge bears come out to feed prior to hibernation and you stalk around the fields looking for the right bear.

Does he have a website? Or where can I get details about his hunt?

I can hook you up on Alaska Inside Passage bears or another option is Alberta. Two bear areas and they have lots of big bears. I also have a two bear area in Idaho that's reasonably priced.

If you want some more info, drop me an email.

Talk to Barry at Safari River Outfitters in Sask. www.huntcanada.com

I've hunted whitetails twice and spring bear once with him. Its a top notch operation. Fall bear can be combined with waterfowl and upland birds.

Prince of Wales Island in SE Alaska offers some of the best Black Bear hunting there is.

Either self guided or guided.

I have a fall slot available for a guided hunt, but also help many hunters on thier do it yourself hunts.

Its very reasonable. They're at the show in Indy right now. Lodging isn't the best, but the hunting is fantastic.

Jeeze you could go to northern Alberta, rent a quad and drive into the bush along any river and stalk or bait a nice bear. Cost of the tag would be less than a hundred bucks. Total cost of the hunt including transportation and a can or two of beer would be less than $1000.00.
