Hi guys,

I posted this in the Northeast forum w/o any respose so I thought I'd try it here.

I'm considering going on a do it yourself Maine bear hunt this fall. I really don't want to kill a bear over bait (just a personal preference). I thought I'd go spot and stalk some large clearcuts or hunt mast.Just wanted to getsome opinions from those that have done it before.I'd be interested to hear any tips on tactics and particularlywhen to go (early or late season).

Oh yeah -- I'll have a full week to hunt and will be hunting near Mt. Katahdin.

Thanks,

GH
