new to hound hunting Northern California...

Hi my name is Leng,
I live in Elk Grove, California. I have a Bluetick Coonhound who is one year old. I think that his nose is very good. He opens on track and he'll bawl and chop and he's a very cool to listen too. He's has found two coyote so far but that's not the game I'm going for. I've recently trapped a raccoon for him using a Havahart trap and I trained him with the raccoon. He'll tree and he'll chop chop chop. I released the raccoon to see if he can trail it but I forgot to spray the raccoon with water to get more scent. The raccoon ran away and he couldn't trail it because it was pretty hot that day in the afternoon.
I was looking to see if there is anyone here in Northern California where I can tag along this year to take my dogs BEAR hunting. I'm willing to pay for gas and lunch just to get my dog with your dogs on a bear. I also know of two places where I hunt where there are bears.
I also started liking hound hunting do to the fact that every year when I go deer hunting and squirrel hunting with my dad and brothers. A pack of hound would bawl in the truck and you can hear them from a distance away. They were probably rig dogs. And once you heard those chops and hounds bark faster and louder, you know that they were hot on a bear scent. Well when those guys release those hounds you can hear them trail from two to three miles away until they got closer. As they got closer they started barking at one spot. I knew that they had something up the tree. So I went to go check it out. It took me awhile to go check it out. A pack of walker hound was bawling below the tree and as I look up sixty to eighty feet up in the pine tree was a black bear. Right then I knew that I had to try bear hunting. It took the group of guys probably one hour to get to their dogs as I watched and listen to their dogs.
But anyone who's willing to take me let me know by my email lengxiong72@hotmail.com.
Thank you for reading this and God bless.
