Maine is the last place in the U.S. to legally trap Black Bears .

Over the last 25 years we have baited stands that have seen generation after generation of bears coming to our baits and some of the biggest bears have lived through numerous hunting seasons over bait. These "bait stealers" continue to visit the sites and grow to enormous sizes as they only visit the sites after legal hunting hours. I would like to see a few of these bruins taken out of my turf in 2012! So in 2012 we are offering a Bear Foothold Snaring adventure .

This trip includes 7 nights & 6 days, lodging, daily maid service for your cabin, 2 meals a day (in Sept) (3 meals a day in Oct.), and a Master Maine Guide to help you set your trap. Transportation to and from a baited stand with trail camera, skinning and care of the meat from your bear after harvesting are also included. You may use the weapon of your choice for dispatching the bear.

 

As you can trap Black Bear from Sept.1 through Oct 30^th, you can combine a bait hunt with the foothold snaring the month of September. In October you can combine your trip with Grouse hunting or Deer Hunting with a bow. The choice is yours. Fishing for brook trout in a remote pond is always available at no extra charge. We provide a boat, electric trolling motor, life jackets, paddles, and anchor.

To trap a Black Bear, you must have a prior trapping license from the state that you are coming from and buy a Maine trapping license and snaring permit.

One Snare is allowed per person and we provide the snare.

The price for this adventure is $1495.00 p.p. in Sept. and $1695.00 per person in Oct.
