Title: Bear hunting guide?
Post by: Stiks-n-Strings on December 06, 2009, 01:55:00 AM
I am looking for info for some good bear hunting outfitters in the states.
My 14 yr old daughter has wanted to hunt bear since she was 8.
I have find a guide that I can hunt with a stick bow and she can hunt with a rifle.
Who is the go to here on the Gang that can fix me up?

Sent you an email. I am recommending Eldon Jandreau of Portage, Maine. He is a longbow hunter himself and prefers bow hunters. He has special packages for kids but you need to ask him about that. You should hear some good things about Eldon from this site.

I have to second Bill's choice give Eldon a call I've been there three time he runs a first rate operation. 207 435 2231

Yes, what Bill C. said.  You will not find a better guy to take your daughter hunting than Eldon.  He'll do everything in his power to see that she has a great hunt because he does that with all of his hunters.  Been four times and plan to return next year.....Dave

DIY Alaskan Black bear hunt out Kachemak bay or prince william sound area. Close enough to get out quick if you need but definitely the "dark side of the moon" for most folks in the lower 48.

Bill,

I just got off the phone with Eldon.  Lord willing, I will be there the first week, flying in on 8/29.  

If by a slim chance I get drawn for a moose tag, that would preclude me coming. Since the chances are slim to nil for this, it looks like we will be chasing bears together!  

Woo Eee!!!
