New Brunswick Bear Hunt with a $1000 assistance from Streamlight. During the week of May 21, 2007 we will hunt with Bear Paw Outfitters in Bathurst, New Brunswick, Canada (five day hunt with meals and lodging included). We have been hunting with them for several years, with very good success (near 100%). There are openings for disabled hunters and also for a physically challenged hunter who is mobile, who can climb into a typical ladder stand. This hunter will need to be able to hunt by himself, or either pay an extra $300 for a 1 on 1 guided hunt. The total cost of the hunt is $1500 with Streamlight support covering $1000 of that.
If we don’t have enough disabled hunters to fill the hunt we will take some non-disabled hunters until the slots are full. Please indicate in the application if you have someone interested. Their cost will be $1500 (no scholarship).
