Minnesota Bear Hunts

I moved up here to Minnesota 12 years ago from Indiana, and have been bear hunting 5 years here previously. I have decided to get my outfitters licence and take 8 clients this year. The price will be $600 for a seven day hunt over well established bait sites. Every year I take a handfull of family and friends and most years run 100% on bear harvest. There are lots of local motels and cabins available for boarding.
I will be guiding in lottery area 26, chances of getting drawn your first year run about 25%, your second year is near 100% chance of being drawn.
I'm sorry I do not have a fancy website up and running but I can tell you I am a woodsmen, and trapper, and hound hunter that spends 4-6 days a week in the woods year round scouting or hunting. All I have now is family and friends as references. PM for contact info.
If you want to apply this year just for a preference point, apply area 99, this will give you a year to prepare. Application deadline is May 1st. Lottery applications are FREE.
