2001 Maine Black Bear Hunt!
Starting September 10th, 2001 monday morning! I go on my first
time ever Black Bear hunt!
Growing up here in Southern, Maine, Bear are rarely seen by sportsman
in the wild! Seeing a bear while hunting during regular firearms season
in Southern Maine is a sight most hunters will never see in their lifetime!
Personally I have only witnessed bears in the White Mountains of Maine
& New Hampshire while camping or fishing! I have only seen a couple
bears cross the road in my immediate area in the early evening hours, while
driving in my car! Never have I seen a bear during hunting season in Maine,
while deer hunting!
I have hired a guide for the first week of hunting for bear with dogs
and will be hunting with the use of trained bear hounds in my local area
of Southern Maine! This will be the adventure, I have always dreamed of,
even if I do not take a bruin!

training period, by my guide!

After a great week and then some with a GREAT guide.... I got a
look at one bear and learned a real lot about hunting bear with hounds.
No bear was taken but it was most definitely a great hunt with a great
guide, George Pelletier of Border Pond Guide Service... He comes highly
recommended by me! I look forward to many years of great hunting ahead
with George! There's always next year to get a bear!
