Guided Hunting Trips for Maine Black Bear

NOW BOOKING FOR THE

UPCOMING FALL SEASON


Our hunts take place in the scenic downeast region of Maine. This area has a good mix of fir, hardwood, ridges, swamps and rolling hills - ideal Maine black bear habitat. This are has one of the highest bear populations in the state. Natural food availability, baiting techniques, and low hunting pressures is the reason for my better-than-average success and high quality hunting experience. I have over 60 bait sites and I personally bait each site. I start baiting in August, 30 days prior to the start of the Maine black bear hunting season.. With the use of trail cameras, I am able to record not only the size of the bears coming to a bait site, but how many bears, and at what time they are feeding at the bait. This way, I don't waste your time having you sit at a bait site where bears are only coming into after dark.

My success rate is a consistent 70% with nearly 100% sightings. Some hunters have seen several bears in one sitting. To ensure maximum hunter success, I place all of my hunters on a fresh, unhunted bait site each week of hunting. For a personalized hunt, I only take a maximum of 8 hunters out per week. If you are seeing only small bears or sows with cubs, I will move you to another bait site.

Stands are wood or steel ladder stands, hang-on stands, or, if you prefer, a ground blind. Shooting distances will be from 15-50 yards, depending on your weapon of choice. You may also bring your own stand with prior arrangements.

 
We have several hunting packages available:

Fully Guided with Meals - This package includes lodging, transportation to and from the hunting sites, field dressing, skinning and quartering of your bear and three meals per day.

Fully Guided without Meals - This package is the same as above, but without meals. I will provide a stove or grill and you do your own cooking. There are also restaurants and fast food places avaiable within 18 miles of camp.

Unguided or Do-it-yourself Hunts - You supply your own lodging (tent or camper), meals, transportation to bait sites, and baiting for the week. I will supply you with enough bait. Recovery and care of your bear is up to you. I will take you out to a remote camp site which will be on a river or lake and will be within a 15 mile drive to your bait sites. I will stay in touch with you on a daily basis.
