Bucket list Bear hunt
#11
Doesn't one of the Carolina's have some of the largest black bears around? at least big heads...ie high B&C scores?

I am thinking we will win this battle even though it appears to be a case of going either way.. There is a lot of hunters in Maine and HSUS is mostly pushing the Portland area.. They had their Predsident in trying to help them get the votes. The news station there had put them on the local tv.. They are now being blasted with calls asking why they did not show up at the Banquet and appears to be trying to favor HSUS.. I do not think they like the attention they are now getting.. The banquet was sold out with 1000 plus tickets and everyone is upset with the news station as this had happened after the Banquet.. The environmental groups has even suggested to remove the bear baits if they come across them.. This has been reported to the Warden Service as a threat by some of them which even endorsed it.. I would not worry to much as most would not dare to step in the woods up here any ways..
I hope you have an enjoyable hunt as well as success on getting your bear..

Thank you for all the input I have contacted foggy mountain and I am waiting for their brochure. I hope all goes well for all the Maine sportsmen. Im not sure these antihunting groups realize the economic impact their programs would have. I live in Michigan and up north 50% of many small towns is from money spent by hunters during deer season.

We thought about Canada but would prefer staying in the U.S.. If I can ask what was the problem with foggy mountain, and does any one have other suggestions for Maine and Idaho. I have contacted Weigas outfitter in Idaho only because of one of the hunting shows which talked it up pretty good. The searches I have done on line show all outfitters to be successful, great, etc

Why are you sending a PM to a single member? If an outfitter isn't up to par then that info should be shared with all of the members so they can have the info if they are also looking to book a bear hunt. The only way to stop questionable outfitters is to arm all the hunters with the info.
So, if Foggy Mtn. didn't provide the service you expected then please provide the details to all of us. Info only has value if it is shared.

I would appreciate any suggestions for outfitters you have. If foggy mtn has problems I would prefer not to waste money. This is my first and possible last bear hunt. Due to age not health. I am planning a moose hunt the next year and if all goes well would use the same outfitter.
