Black Bear Hunting Guide >> Black Bear Hunting Tips

Bear hunting in Maine places you in one of the biggest black bear concentrations per acre of habitat anywhere in the entire North America. In Maine, handguns are allowed as well as bow hunting which is an advantage for some of the hunters. Nearly one million acres of private and state lands are available all over Maine for hunting activities. These places have been hunted since 1964 so all guides will provide complete information regarding the best spots for bear hunting.

Offering highly processed baits with incredible drawing power which are continually adjusted as bear feeding preferences change makes this resort highly appreciated for its well-known efficiency. We hunt two regions of private lands. Each area has access controlled by gates, as are 95% of our total hunting territories. You may hunt with rifle, muzzleloader, handgun or bow. As of 2006, Cross-bows are also legal in Maine. All this things considered, this resort has plenty to offer for all hunting enthusiasts.
