Lower 48 spring bear suggestions

[JAYR]

First, I would like to extend my thanks and appreciation to everyone at Archer Choice, namely Ralph and Vicki, for thier dedication and the exctiting hunts they have shared witht me since the first Bear'n down video.
I have been a faithful follower and look forward to each new episode.

I'd like to take try a lower 48 archery spring bear hunt in 2013.
Any suggestions?
I've hunted bear in maine for almost 15 years and only once in the spring but want to try some different scenery yet within the lower 48 states of the US.
I'm not opposed to hunting Canada but want to know peoples thoughts and opinions on options within the US.

Any and all responses are greatly appreciated.
Good luck to all.
