Western state spring bear archery outfitter recommendations?

[davinski]

Any recommendations or experiences out there? I'm getting the itch for a spring bear since Colorado is fall only. WY, ID, AZ, even MT is a reasonable road trip from western CO. I'm not really interested in using dogs, but hunting over bait or spot-and-stalk would scratch my itch. In poking around the gohunt site it seems like these hunts wouldn't really break the bank as compared to other big game, but the pricing seems to vary wildly. Thanks in advance.

Korell Outfitters in Idaho. They generally run dogs but I think they have baits out in the spring also. They take good bears fairly consistently. Chris and Cody are both great guides.

Richie outfitters out of Idaho does them. While I can't say anything about their bear hunts from experience, I can say they are an awesome outfitter to go through for elk. They offer dogs, spot and stalk, and bait hunts and the selway is full of bears!

Cool, thanks, guys. I'll check them out. I was kind of leaning toward ID with their tag prices for vets.
