JohnTheGreekALBERTA BLACK BEAR ! !
OK, I'm gonna be in Edmonton Alberta for a job interview Thursday and Friday of this week. I am considering extending my stay for a week since the flight is on my potential employers dime. Is anybody out there an outfitter who might want to put someone on an Alberta black bear after this friday?
Regards,

<richard powell>You might be hitting in about right.... bears are just starting to come out of hibernation (around Lesser Slave Lake) according to this archery dude who has been setting up baits for the last week or two up there..... Do you want me to ask there is an opening??? Lane Archery (they also use rifles) 403-380-2626 ... Ask for Dennis or Cheryl. I believe that they are closed on Mondays...

JohnTheGreekYup, I figured the timing to be just about right as the season has been open for a couple of weeks now I think. If anyone knows of any other outfits that might squeeze in a last minute client, please let me know.
Thanks in advance,

JohnTheGreekThanks to everyone for the replies!
Lobstick,
I will use a rifle and would prefer a spot and stalk hunt but bait is fine too.
