The Maine black bear is one of the state’s most elusive game animals. Because of this, hunting over bait is one of the most productive tactics. Do not be fooled into thinking this is easy. Hunting black bear over bait will test your patience and discipline along with your tolerance for bugs and weather. If you are up to the challenge, the experience of seeing Maine’s largest carnivore up close is well worth the effort.
You are guaranteed to be placed over an active site that has been routinely baited with high quality bait prior to your hunt. You can rest confident knowing that bears are actively using and comfortable at the location which means you can focus on the hunt.
Comfortable single and double tree stands, along with ground blinds, are strategically placed at varying distances for whatever weapon system you choose to hunt with. Average shots range from 15-50 yards. The typical hunting hours are in the afternoon, but some baits can be more active in the morning hours.
