Hi. I am in the Navy, home ported in Whidbey, and am currently deployed to the middle east. I wont be back until the mid to late summertime frame so I wont have much of a chance to scout. I Don't have a lot of bear hunting experience so I'm not looking to go alone. I was hoping to maybe find someone big into it or someone that knows a reasonably priced guide service. I'm almost 30. I have been hunting since I could walk and carried a gun/license since I was 12. This season is probably going to be my only chance for quite some time that I will be able to get a bear so I want to maximize my chances. I'm not just looking for something nice to put on the wall. I plan on using the meat as well as anything else that could be rationally used.
Any suggestions?
