Summary of 2008 Fall Hunt
Thank you once again for choosing Yvon & Sons for your bear guiding service.  Yvon & Sons have just recently completed another successful year of providing high quality bear guiding service to its customers.

We are currently planning for this year's hunt.  A total of 51 bears were harvested last fall, representing a 94% success rate.  The largest bear taken this fall was approximately 504 lbs. with 6 1/4 inch pads.  (Congratulations Scott Biedenbach Group from Pennsylvania, a real trophy).  Also taken, were 15 bears over 300 lbs.

For 2009 Fall Hunt
Attention Hunters:
  For those who book the first week, your hunt starts on August 15.  Try to be there, August 14,  the day before the hunt opens.

For Booking:  Cabin availability is limited.  First come, first served.  (Click here for accommodations).  Motel rooms available but must have deposit for reservations. Deposit only refundable within 24 hours of booked date.  If you book with me and bring along 8 extra hunters, your hunt will be on us (accommodations, taxes, licenses extra).  Your hunters must book the same week as you but may be divided into two groups.
