RE: Is Maine the silent giant for Black Bear Hunting??
T-in-Pa, yeah I heard that if you can find wild cherry trees, the bear really tear them up. They climb the trees and bust limbs off to feed on the cherry' s. Here in Maine, Mountain Ash Trees get the same treatment by bear.
Last year has to be the worst hunting I have ever had and I think it had a lot to do with a bumber crop of berries, beechnuts and Mountain ash in my area, not to mention the wicked heat that averaged 80 degrees during baiting season.
