Hi

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on places to photograph nature photography in Northern Minnesota. We will especially be looking for wildlife (non captive)

I am leading a black bear photo tour. I know the area but you can never get enough leads.

My tour is next week

We still have space if anyone is interested in joining us

I will be landing at MSP airport and heading north into Northeastern Minnesota (Voyageur Country)and the bordering superior national forest.

Any leads will be appreciated

Thanks Again

Vince Shuttle Bear Sanctuary? Non captive, but feels a bit like a zoo. If you've never been there, you can arrange (for a fee) to spend the morning before they open to the public. I came away with some nice images, some close encounters, but always felt like I was cheating even though the bears are wild.

The nice thing about Ryan's suggestion is 2 fold: 1 you and your group will be 100% successful in capturing images of wild black bears and 2 you provide funds for a valuable program.

Good luck,
