Just wondering if anyone has any tips or suggestions about archery only outfitters for bear in Ontario or Quebec.
Thanks in advance.

Tom Phillips crew on the Bear Quest hunts.  Not just archery only, but traditional only!  Great camp, fantastic hunting, and the best camp mates you could ever ask for!

Is there a web site for Bear Quest?   Sounds like a good hunt.

What Whip said---Tom and his Bear Quest crew are top notch. Plus, if you also want a chance to "pet" a bear Bowdoc might let you use his stand.

I am going on my fourth trip in a row with Tom. First rate operation all the way and everyone is treated as an equal. In fact, Tommy and his crew do the intial set-ups but during the week everyone pitches in. That's the kind of hunting experience I want. If you want to sit back and be picked up at your hotel then this isn't the trip for you.

Still, Tom typically doesn't even start hunting until midweek because he's so busy running around to make sure eveyone is getting what they need! I keep telling him to stop that!   :)  

Tom Phillips can be reached at imdiablo62@aol.com

I'm actually heading to Bear Paw Landing and staying in what they call the Fred Bear cabin the last week of August or so. My first bear hunt and really lookin' forward to it. Friend of mine won a free hunt in a 3-D shoot and I got the invitation.  :)
