anyone have any info thanks
I am shopping also, especially something semi -guided
Tradgang Bear Quest 7 (http://tradgang.com/noncgi/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=119356;p=1)
Here's the best traditional deal going! Look at the end of the post...and sign up quick!
Bear quest. Probably the greatest hunting trip I've been on. Very reasonable price, and Tom puts on a great show. Just be prepared to eat like a bear as well if you decide to go!
Maine bear hunting semi guided (http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=097563)
And here is another one that is topnotch.
And here is his websight...www.hunterspointguideservice.com/
And another tradgang sponsor (http://stickflingers.com/)
Here is another great bear hunt but he stays booked up pretty far ahead. Good luck in your search. (if you do a tradgang search you will find some more outfitters)..
Merry Christmas!
check out
Walters Wilderness Camp in Sas. Canada.
Lots of bears and a great run out fit...
My first choice would be a TG sponsor who's also a trad bowhunter, Ryan Derlago. http://stickflingers.com/
My second choice would be a guy I hunted with this past spring who isn't necessarily a trad bow hunter but set me up very low and very close, John Rivet

Eldon Jandreau at Hunters Point Guide Service in Maine--noone could possibly offer a better hunt. I've been five times and nobody works harder for his clients than Eldon. And he is a committed longbow hunter and dead-eye shot with his Green Mountain longbow.
Manitoba Stick Flingers or Tom Phillips does an excellent job with Bear Quest. Look at the links above.
Good luck and God bless,

Yep, I'd vote for bear quest for a spring hunt, and squapan mt for a fall hunt
Ryan (Stickflingers) is booked through about 2016, but he does run a great camp.
D.P.
I have news for all of Hunters Point fans. Eldon has sold the business to one of his guides, Phil Allen. This came as a surprise to me but last year Eldon and I were talking about who might make a good owner of the business when he decided to retire. I suggested Phil....he is young, he's an experienced trapper and hunter and knows and lives in Portage during the Fall and Winter months. Phil has contracted with the paper companies for all of Eldon's bait sites and the new contact info is on the web site. The only real changes are that Phil will not be guiding those that have booked or would like to book moose hunts with Eldon. You will have to contact Eldon to make arrangements. I am a bit excited about the change in ownership as Phil is very excited...think of a rookie quarterback starting his first season. Only Phil is no rookie. He's trapped bears for years in addition to his other fur bearing trapping. He knows bears and the country that Eldon has hunted all these years. Phil is keeping on all the regular guides and Eldon may be on the payroll before next bear season, as well. That is not yet decided. So...there it is. It's sad to see Eldon hanging it up but the business and its name will remain in excellent hands. If you have questions I'll do my best to answer them. Phil is coming to see Laura (she does the website) and me (I represent the business here) to discuss changes to the site and other things that need to be addressed. You may even see us at Denton Hill.
