You got that right Ed! I hope I'm sitting with her on a bear stand some day watching her arrow a bear. That would be something!

Thanks for the replys everyone.

Steve that was a hair raising story bud!! awesome read love the pics especially the one with your brother in it. glad to see you back

Great pics and story Steve. Good to hear you guys hada good time. Just too bad you guys couldn't connect.

You got it right about baiting bears is nowhere near a guarantee. My week in Maine without seeing a bear on stand is proof of that.

Damn, no luck for you either?? Sorry to hear that. Maine Is a hell of a bear state. That's hunting for ya!

Are you going next year?

Great story.. you had fun, and afterall, that is what it is all about. That Reconyx takes some nice pics at night!

Great to see you back Steve. Sorry bout the hunt in one way, but glad you made the most of it. You will get 'em next time. I know you like it too much to quit. Shoot me a PM sometimes. 2 weeks and 2 days before "it's on like donkey kong" here.

Great story and pics. What is the plaque by the bait? I'm guessing it states who it belongs to?

Most likely we are. The couple that we are friends with that hosted us are just learning about baiting bears. This was the first year for them so we all learned a lot. It was a great time though. It was worth the trip just for the lobsters!

You have to have your name and license number and or phone number on a 8" or so plaque to establish your bait site. You also have to send in all of your bait info to the DNR with your GPS cordinates or plat book numbers so they can go and check the bait site's to make sure your following the guidelines that are out there for baiting bear.

Great story and pics!! Thanks for sharing! To bad it didn't work out for you guys though!
