Where in Alberta you coming to? I'm going out to a new spot tomorrow, buddy claims lots of good bears taken there by him and family in years past. I moved last year and am now in an area with bears, but have had to find all new spots which has proven more difficult than expected. Got some good land lined up though, so hoping there's a good one there. Took 2 days off work, and wouldn't you know it is been raining/snowing ever since. Hoping for a break tomorrow, but if not will go ahead anyway.
