Can Anyone Recommend A Maine Bear Guide?
Some friends are itching to go on a bear hunt to Maine in 2013, and I'm willing to go as well. I've been on a few bear hunts with the bow in New Brunswick, Canada but my outfitter I used sold it. Plus in Maine we all can hunt at the same time, I would hunt with the bow, and few others as well, and some will hunt with some sort of firearm. We are looking now and want to book soon to lock in the opening week (fall season). If you have any experience with any of these outfitters and/or any others good or bad please let me know. Few places I've been looking at are:

My dad has hunted bear at Cedar Ridge years ago and had a great time. First class operation. I have deer hunted out of there as well. Little pricey. Accommodations are nice. Food is good.
I have never hunted out of Oxbow but have heard great things about them as well.

If you and your friends wanted to hunt with hounds I would recommend Hollaback Hounds & Guide Service, the guides name is Bill Dereszewski. The number to get set-up is 207-271-0610, He is from Baileyville, in Washington County which is one of the most abundant areas for bear in maine.
