Bear baits will be going out soon. Anyone going to be baiting this fall?

 

[Cap'n Jack Duggins]

I'll be putting up a molassass drip on my property just to see if anything turns up there but I don't expect much to happen. I don't really live in bear country but you just never know.

Funny thing is I used to guide for bear hunting over bait, and never sat over one!

John Porter said he would take me out. I hope he is still around when it is time to go.

John? Helloooooooo? Anybody there?

 

[stweedie]

My perspective bear guide trapped what he said was a 400lb nuissance bear out of Mapleton this spring that I'm pretty sure he gave a ride to down to Patten. Maybe John can put you onto that one Steve!

Hey I just got a PM from John. He said the hunt is still on! :wink:

I brought up a truck load of Dunkin Donuts last week, they are hittin the bait sites this week.
My three hour ride turned into five hours, as I was shaking a fat cop at every town line. :lol:

Anybody see a lot of activity over their bait? It's just around the corner.

 

[Lil John]

Reports are all good.
I personaly went to a few sites to freshen them up, one had so many trails comming in it looked like a wagon wheel. :shock:
I was told that a big bear drug off the barrel from that site, night before last.

Nice! Can't wait to see your bear this year. What are you using to shoot your bear?

I got a quick question... for a person who is going to shoot a bear for the first time would a .30-30 be alright or should I go with something more powerful?

 

[Lil John]

It all depends on how far away the bear is, and where you put the bullet. Tuck one behind his ear and you should be okay.
I'll be using my 35.

 

[Lil John]

willy tells me my bait site was hit last night, ate everything there.

 

[mefishme]

[sremington]

I leave Friday after work to drive up to Aroostook County for the first week of bear season. I'm going to use my muzzleloader to hunt with. I killed my first bear a few years back and I used a 30-30. Good Luck to everyone Hope we all get some nice ones.
