I was wondering if anyone had any experience bear hunting. We defeated the anti's in Maine this fall as they tried to ban the hunting of bears over bait and I realized now may just be the best time to hunt for a bear. I'm planning to hunt with my bow over bait near camp in Hancock county Maine but would like to do it myself. I find I'll get more enjoyment setting baits traveling back and forth, hanging stands, basically the whole deal. Problem is I've never hunted bears before let alone baited for them. I'm looking for any suggestion, tips or pointer to get me started in the right direction.

Any good reading suggestions are also appreciated.

Thanks,
Adams
