[QUOTE="KLL87, post: 946989, member: 78184"] If you are open to going to Canada, I did A spot and shoot hunt in Alberta last fall. I really enjoyed it. Ended up taking a 6 footer. I hunted with Swanspoint Outfitters. The guide hunts a zone that does not allow baiting or dogs, so the local hunting pressure is minimal. There were a few guys out and about scouting for deer and moose, but nothing that interfered with our hunt. It was also a two bear area, and he didn't charge extra fees for the second bear. As far as cost, I can't say what he's charging now. He gave us a good price because it was only his first year guiding, and was trying to get some clients. Last time I talked to him, I think he was fully booked through this fall though. Not sure on next spring. There is a possibility for some long range shots, depending on the situation. My shot was only about 160, and the guy I hunted with shot his at maybe 75. I would recommend Matthew, the guide and owner, to anyone. He worked hard for us, and was very easy to get along with. Feel free to message me if you have questions or want more info. [/QUOTE]
