What sort of hunt are you looking to do? The places in AB and Sask are high fence hunts.

12hrs from Detroit will get you to Georgia. That's where I'd start my search if I was in your shoes.

My first reaction is no "high fence" hunts. Not looking for a 100% guaranteed harvest hunt, but something like 90% or higher success rate? We've hunted for years and are what I would claim are semi competent (deer, rabbits, ducks, geese, grouse, doves, squirrels, black bears). Hunting from 1/2 hour before sunrise to half hour after sunset is fine for us all. Thermocells, tree stands, blinds, etc all part of our gear.

The places I found online are in Georgia or South Carolina, but other than what I see on the internet, I was hoping for recommendations or things to watch out for. Yes, I'll be calling them to chat first, but it would be nice to know what I want to chat about!
 
If it were me, I'd also be looking for something I can't do here. Like hunting in the dark with night vision - I want to say that is legal in Georgia on private property.

This!

I have never seen a black bear without hundreds of worms, tapeworms, worms in the meat, worms just under the hide, worms everywhere!......:(

I would not eat any bear meat, period. I know lots of guys do, but no thanks. Even high country alpine bears were full of worms, maybe our BC bears are just wormy. Absolutely gross. I don't care if its its frozen for two years and cooked to a piece of charcoal, with all those worms, I guess this adds more protein. Trichinosis is another concern.

Wild boars, I don't know, I've heard lots of gross stories about worms, and they taste like sh1t and eats like grandpas ole' cowboy boots. Maybe some juvenile piglets would taste better?......:)

And now the CWD threat here in BC. Makes a guy wonder if CWD is even real, or is it another Covid scam to stop hunting.

Who knows now a days anymore.........

Not at all, I just do not like worms, period. Cooking doesn't always kill the worms or parasites.

And no, I can't stand the smell of salmon or tuna, especially when it smells like dirty pussy. Hahahahahah!

You do you and I'll stay away from stinky fish, pussy and wormy sh1t! LOL

I butcher my own bears and have never seen a worm. Not sure what is wrong with the bears you have. I wouldn't eat wormy meat either, but I don't believe that is a common issue with bears. At least not in Ontario.

As a veteran hunter, assistant guide, former taxidermist and a Natural Resource Officer, I have skinned literally over 150 bears in my lifetime. Only a handful did not have worms, yes we apparently have a wormy bear problem here in BC.

I've tried non-wormy bear meat, it wasn't to my liking.

I am glad your Ontario bears are not wormy, I wish I could say the same out here in BC.

Up here in the Yukon bear meat is great tasting and no worms or at least I never encountered them in bear meat or any meat actually. But yea bear meat has to be cooked through and through!!
