RE: Opening week of Maine bear, results.
It has been a long time since I have seen bears hitting the baits like this year. On Monday, my oldest son shot his first, a 140 boar. I saw a sow and 3 cubs. saw a sow with 2 cubs on a different bait Tuesday, nothing on Wednesday, and killed a 210 pound boar off the same bait as my son on Thursday. We only have my youngest son to go. I think he can' t sit still long enough.
I jumped a nice bear off one of my baits this morning before work. They are hitting the baits just as hard now as they were before the season started.
You say the blueberries were picked early. Are you hunting downeast?
