bear hunting in va?

[skimerhorn]

[*]looking for a outfitter or person to go hunting with dogs for bear. Never been bear hunting, I've hunted about everything else you can with a dog. Hoping to find something I don't have any bear dogs or a good place to go. Want to kill a bear without having to resort to still hunting, any suggestions. Thanks

Not allowed to do outfitting or any form of payment for bear hunting in VA. What part of VA are you located in? I live in the western side of the state not far from Roanoke area.

Eddie and Stanley came and hunted with us and we went to new castle some the 1st week, treed some, killed some had a ball! Good men.

Cool. I only got to hunt the first 2 days of season due to work. Hunted alot this past week and had a real good time and dogs did real good in some tough conditions with wind saturday and the rain today. I have been down to Tazwell the past couple years with them, didnt come down this year when they went in early season though.
