Do the combo, but understand it adds certain challenges, not to mention additional costs.
On my combo hunt, I never saw a legal shooter bear, turns out the area wasn't a decent area for bear, which could sway your decision....listen the outfitter, and hope he's being honest with odds of success on the bear.
if you don't do the combo, odds are you'll see a stud of a bear,
No one wants to be 'that guy'.
