Hello gents, its been a while for me on here. Mods if this is not the place for this please let me know.
My brother and I are planning a bear hunt with trad gear. Hopeing for 2 bears each- 1 with flint arrow, and 1 with a flintlock would be nice- all the gear has been hand-made by me and my brother. To us this will be our "congrats for graduating with a Masters degree with your sanity intact" gift to ourselves. We have talked with several outfitters in the states and Canada already and have literally been laughed at for wanting to use trad gear. When we said we wanted to use flint they said "are you crazy?" So is it possible for some of you fellas who have been successful with bears to offer some outfitters for consideration?
Pictures would be great. Chances at color phase bears would be nice. This hunt would mean alot to us as we have worked hard to attain our Masters degree in Forestry in only 3 semesters-1/2 the time of other grad students. So this is will be a well deserved treat.
