What is the best deal, both price and success ratio, for a black bear hunt over bate? Color and size are not that important, just a representative trophy. Captdavid
"It's not how hard you hit 'em, it's where you hit 'em." The 30-06 will, with the right bullet, successfully take any game animal in North America up to 300yds.
If you are a hunter, and farther than that, get closer!

I would say you're looking at $ 2,500-$ 4,500 depending on the location, accomodations, and trophy quality.
I hunted Alberta last year and it was on the upper end of that range but it was with a very popular, very successful outfitter known for big bears.
I ended up shooting a beautiful color-phase 7'3", 365 lbs. boar with a 20 inch skull with my bow.
A bait hunt for black bears is a fantastic bow hunting opportunity in my opinion.
I researched a bunch of them and that is how I ended up with the range of prices I described.
Hope this helps and hope you find a hunt!

Maine is generally the most affordable. Usually $1,500 will get you a good hunt.

Idaho offers hunting over baits. You might check with some outfitters there.

Was this a spring or fall hunt?

Are you looking for a Spring or Fall hunt, or does it matter?
