You betcha Hoadie, 
Went up to that same drainage again yesterday seeing if I could get another look at the bigger bear.  Instead I end up finding another meat bear in that drainage.  Meaning a min of 5 bears have been living in that drainage (counting the one in the freezer) Seems this place with be a little to crowded, so I will take another friend up there for some further population control. Big smile

And both fine rifles they are hoadie!

Wow, looks like there are a heap of bears kicking round up there diver.
But the winters coming,

And the snow will cover tracks,

And I'll be watching,

Because I'm hunting you

Yeah-bears are kinda like Scotsmen..The only way off the mainland is to SWIM!..But they can only swim so far!Hence-an Irishman is a Scotsman that can swim!!

I don't know for sure about Ontario, but I believe he needs to apply for a permit to accompany.  Here in British Columbia/BC AKA Bring Cash, I would need a permit to accompany. Then you would need a non resident license @ $180.00 then your tags @ $180 for Bear, $125 for deer, $250 for Elk, etc So the pice gets up quick in BC
 
Not to familiar with thier site but here is Ontario's MNR page
 
hope this helps you light a fire under Hoadies arse ;)
