You're not using the same guide are you???
Can you only run 1 snare?

Congratulations on a successful trip many times I've experienced a similar fate by not collecting a animal but the chase made the trip very enjoyable for me and as you explained it steals your thoughts away until you get to go try again. Allan

Yeah...that guide gets a D-
Glad you had fun!!! I won't tell you what he charged me. D- is about right. But I may have to use him again, this time with clearer expectations. He was the only guide I found in that particular area that was willing to keep a site open into bird season. Most bear guys are done baiting at the end of September (when bear hunting over bait season ends) and don't want to deal with it any longer after that for just one guy to come set a trap.

I still think it's a shame that Maine gave up the bear trap. I used to want to go up there and do that, then of course the government had to step in and screw that up.

Check this out: https://www.wildlifecontrolsupplies.com/animal/PRO-12.htmlIts not exactly the same as a big old steel foothold but its still kind of cool. If you want to do it you should try sooner rather than later. More and more people from Massachusetts are moving to Maine and ruining its culture. Bear snaring won't be legal forever.
