Bear Hunting 2020
    #839863 - 12/12/19 06:29 AM (4 years, 3 months ago)

This will be my first real go at it in an area where I have good chances.

I live in the primary range.

The season in Maine is great. It's from August to November and you can bait and trap.

Also:

Qualified landowners may hunt bear on their own land without a big game license, but are required to have a valid bear hunting permit. See special landowner privileges.

I don't know how it will go yet. I am not living out in the boones yet. I haven't got a feel for the land other than snow tracks on visits.

Bears prefer sweet bait as opposed to meat scraps. Another advantage of sweet products such as breads, doughnuts, and dog food mixed with syrup is that they will only attract bears, not wolves and coyotes. Pour A LOT of grease on the ground all around your bear bait.

Bread, doughnuts, and various different types of meat are probably the most popular bear baits. Bears have very sensitive noses (arguably even better than deer and feral hogs) and seem particularly drawn to very pungent smelling baits, which makes fish a good choice.

Fish, syrup, and dog food FTW

PICK YOUR BAIT
There are two objectives that you want your bait to achieve; you want it to attract bears and you want it to hold bears.  When I bait to attract, I tie a beaver carcass, where legal, high on a tree trunk. The higher the better, as the scent will be carried further away. Beaver are greasy and smelly and bears love them. If using beaver is not legal in your area, go with bacon tips. You can buy a big bag of bacon chunks from a butcher. I like to place a couple pounds of bacon in a mesh bag, and then I like to place the mesh bag of bacon inside of a heavy Ziploc. Cook in microwave and then take it to the field. I remove the mesh bag and hang it high like you would the beaver carcass. I also save all our family’s food scraps for the year, and this usually gives me two full buckets of desirable people food to attract with.


When it comes to holding bears at a bait station, I use the cheapest dog food available. Walmart usually has 50 pound bags of food for a good price, and I keep the barrel as full as possible. The main advantage of using the dog food is that it provides the bears and scavenging wildlife with protein and nutrients, unlike sweet and sugary baits, and the pieces are small enough to prevent the bears from grabbing a large amount and running off into cover to eat it. Also, I pour grease or broth on the dog food. This will give it an extra flavor or two to entice bored bears.

Of course.

And I do swear, the gay men are attracted to dog food and syrup.

That is a known fact.

Yea, I figured I would.

There have been some sightings in the direct area, but I am not confident they will be on my land. Maybe they will, maybe they won't.

I may not even get the chance to hunt them the first year out on the land. I might have to bait them for a while.

I am pretty far into the wilderness though. I think I may be able to bait some in for an immediate hunt.

Is there any way you can get on foot to where you’ve heard of them being sighted?  Do you have immediate neighbors with distinct plots of land where you can’t tresspass without permission or is it just a shitload of no man’s land that you can get back onto without worry of bumping into anyone?

Basically can you get back there and figure out where this bear is without having people get in your way?

It's like no man's land.

It takes me an hour to walk to the land from the road. And it takes a 4X4 to get there otherwise.

I don't see anyone getting in my way.

Have you hunted bear before?

We had Plott Hounds growing up. 

Do you have trail cams you can post out there and get an idea of what’s passing through?

I will have that ability, yes.

But I am just getting acclimated up here. I am about to get a job I believe, which is great.

Trail cams are a great idea.

I'm going up tomorrow and there's no fresh snow. No rain. Just frozen ground. I'm going to start felling trees for a field. I am going to stack timber. Maybe build a hovel to start treating it right.

That's pretty dope. Not sure if you mentioned it earlier, but what rifle will you be using?

Child's play, my good sir. Child's play. If you want to drop that bear them you must use a lahti l-39. It's all I use. Even on pesky varmint.
