Thanks

Larry,
give Ted Fry a call at Raptor Archery. He is a guide for an outfitter in Idaho and I've heard nothing but great things about the hunts.

Curtis Kellar 7th age bowhunting told me he's doing some bear hunts in Idaho, he's a sponser here.
silver spur outfitters is a good outfitter real nice people
Went with Ted Fry/ Raptor Archery and Weitas Creek Outfitters - would go again tomorrow if i had the time and money. Hell, if i had that, i'd stay there.
We had lots of bears, good hunting buddies, great food, fantastic location, expert guides.
Ted told me he promised he'd get me within 10yards of bear. That he kept, numerous bears on stand, some too close for comfort.
I did not shoot one however, the "perfect shot" only materialised 2 or 3 times, once i made a noise, and twice i was too slow, bear turned as i was @full draw - i barely held the arrow at one of them.
The bears was moving a lot on the baits and were obviously nervous. Also, there were, and we saw and heard, several wolves.
Highly recommended
