Maine Black Bear Baited & Hound Hunts

Our outfitter strives for quality and not quantity, taking very few bear hunters per week. Choose the boat-access black bear hunt to go by boat to your stand and enjoy the solitude of a hunt within the Eagle Lake State Reserve. Remote bear hunts take place on almost 100 square miles of exclusive territory. Rifle, pistol, black powder, shotgun, crossbow, and archery bear hunters accommodated. Baited bear hunts start the last week of August and hound hunts start in late September and continue into October.

Bear hunter success rates are above average at 80% for bait hunts with nearly 100% on hound hunts. Bear sizes range from 5.5 feet to occasionally exceeding 7 feet. Bears sizes are on average 175 pounds on bait, and 300 pounds with hounds. All clients are bear hunting overactive bear baits. Trail cameras are utilized by bear guides to enhance success. Private channel, 5-watt, 2-way radios for direct communication with your bear guide. Bear guides have 50-watt radios in their vehicles. No needlessly long waits in your bear stand.
