    Hello all,

    I am new to the site. I drew a Wisconsin Zone A Bear tag this year and I am looking for guides. Does anybody have any recommendations? This will be my first time bear hunting. I prefer to keep it on the cheaper side but I encourage all recommendations.

    Thanks

    How many preference points did it take you to draw?

    Good ones won't be cheap and are booked already. Those are also the ones I would have recommended. Want cheaper ones look on Craig's list. Seen some advertising there the other day.

    My other comments I'll keep to myself, but you had 7 or more years to figure this out beforehand.

    Wow. Thanks for the help Ruff Rider. Could've had a guide lined up for 7 years and something tragic happened. But thanks for the help and assuming.

    Thanks 130Woodman I will check them out, I appreciate it! And Freelance I had 8 points.

    Like I said all the guys I can in good faith recommend are booked solid. Most are booked before even the draw. I hunt and run hounds but in B. Sorry I come off Ruff but I see it EVERY year guys wait till after they draw a tag to find a outfitter when they had years to set their hunt up.
