The most interesting colour phase bears I have seen are some near the geographic centre of British Columbia. I have seen several there ( near our summer cabin) that were a rich cinnamon colour on the entire body, except the legs, muzzle, and ears, which were black. Very cool combination. We have a reasonable proportion of brown and light brown bears here in Saskatchewan. Unfortunately, I can't recommend an outfitter, I just go hunt them by myself.

Are you wanting to hunt over bait? With dogs? Be Satisfied with a black, or black with white chest bear?

Prettiest black bears come from Yakutat and north to Icy Bay, roughly. Blue-gray, glacier bears. Kermode bears are equally nice for novelty.
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

I figure a baited bear Hunt would be best

Idaho offers baited hunts - and color-phase bears. I know it wasn't on your list of places. Might be worth investigating?

Kinda what my research has shown. The outfitter I am looking at in Canada has some huge bears and color phase bears. They are booked up until 2022. I loved Alaska and a combo hunt could be possible there. I threw in Maine because I have grown up on stories about Wayne Bosowicz and Foggy Mountain Guide Service don't go there!!!!!!

great colors on those bears Washington has about 30,000 black bears. Color phase bears: cinnamon, chocolate, even blonde, are pretty common east of the Cascade crest. Here's a photo of my son's first Washington bear. Quite a few more in that area. Spot and stalk in Washington (or calling them) but that hasn't been a problem for us. His next one was more of a dark chocolate color. In the sunshine, it looks reddish: And one of mine: Idaho, Washington, Oregon, western Montana - all have quite a few "color phase" black bears, and some great hunt options. Regards, Guy

What do you figure that would cost a guy in 2021 if you can get over the border? Keep it simple and leave out travel costs. Mb
