Id look in North Carolina personally. Seen some monsters shot there in the lower 48. ( we filmed 400 - 500 pounders dying there.. Great bear hunting on the coast there IMO.)

Maine is good NH alright in a clinch. If youre looking for 150 - 275 pounders. Ive shot a couple there.

Wisconsin good as well. And bigger bears then Maine.

Im sure there great spots in the West.

If you were including Canada, Id say thats a great choice. We filmed giants dying there.
