I've hunted Canada for the past 16-17 years, most of my hunts have been with bear guides, they furnish bait & place to sleep and we furnish our food, getting out and skinning our own bear for less than most family of 4 will spend a week at the beach, someone once asked me "Why don't you go to the beach?" My answer was "I'd rather have a tree stand under my butt, than sand pounded up it" Which means I'd 100% rather hunt than go to the beach, but back to the Canadian bear hunts, one place we went to a couple years ago, we knew more about bear hunting than the "guide" did, this was from what we learned from an excellant bear guide(now deceased) back in the 90's. If the Canadian law let non-resident hunters hunt without a guide, than I'd probably be pitching a tent and hunting on my own.
But it seems like for the past several years more restrictions are added and the older I get, the long drive seems less attractive
My hunting buddy is older than me by 11 years and he's been feeling the same way, so after this year it might be up for grabs the States or Canada
