Any one out there hunt bears? I guide bear hunts here in maine, love it and look forward to the season every year, even though I don't get to do much hunting myself, it a great enjoyment to help others get there bear.

I am trying to make 2010 my first official bear hunt here in NC. I have 4 kids so I have to pick and choose alot of the time what to hunt, and whitetails squirrels and turkey always get the nod, then ducks and rabbit.....but my DREAM is Bear and Elk, Ultimate dream is a combo Moose and Grizz hunt!!! I think I would die and go to heaven!

I am not sure are you allowed to use bait there or scents? seems like I remember someone saying they just hunt them from stands where they find sign they are feeding, but that might not have been NC

I've hunted'em a few times in New Mexico . Scouted them ,and saw them on a regular basis till the season opened, and then they disappeared. My cousin got his bear but I've come hope empty handed. I stick with elk ; seeing elk on his ranch is a sure thing.

Should have previewed that post. Change hope for home and you got it.

Its that time of year - I have put out 38 bear baits and got about 10 more to go, season starts 4 weeks from Monday. gotta get my game cameras out too.

Its just your time to make the doughnuts- keep it up steve

So how did your Bear season go Steve? Went on my first bear hunt this fall. Stayed in Parkman Maine, beautifull country, love it. Six men and a boy in the cabin(all friends) 5 bear, i got mine the last hour of the last day, and we had to recover it the next morning. It only went 30 yds. one shot, TC encore Pro Hunter 45/70, 275 lb. sow (no cubs). Highly recomend u all see Maine if you have not yet. Do you guide, Steve?

good job, I am always am worried my hunters are just siting watching a bait by the last day and not hunting, I would not put a hunter where I did not think they could score wither it be a bear or deer, but at times it is hard to keep there motivation up, specialty after sitting in stands for 5 days, I am sure some of you know what i mean. Yes I do guide I own and operate Birch Hill Camps we got 18 bears last season, it was a good year, not to many hunters with the economy, but a very enjoyable season. Getting ready for this fall already.-steve
