Successful Maine Bear Trip

Had a very successful first trip to Maine for fall Black Bear. Some beautiful country and great people. Already looking forward to going back again. Mine (240 lb.) and another (335 lb.) were both trapped. What a rush and that is something I will never forget.

I bet that makes for a heck of a catch circle! That is something I would love to understand how it works.

Congrats!
First on a sow?

Way to go. Being able to trap a bear would be awesome

You set a trap and catch a bear, that’s how it works??….

Yup. The first one is a 325 lb. dry sow.

The trap we used was the Crit-R-Done. There are several YouTube videos on how it works.

What a great trip. Thats a bucket list item for me for sure.

Excellent, Nice Bear's

Spoken like a banned member.

Almost spit my hot chocolate out

Could yah understand them Mainahs ?

I bet...when you staahted talking...they said “ You must be from away “.

Eyuh !!

Nice bears

I build all the snares for CRIT-R-DONE

Everyone looks happy with those big smiles. Lol. Congrats on your success.

LOL, when I moose hunted in Maine, I kept hearing 2 things;

" You're not from around heah, ahhr ya?"

And once the saw my MD tags, " Ya know Mike Bordick?
He's from around heah!"

Nice bears OP!
On my to do llist.

I got outbid on an auction here by local guy and he took a monster there!

Nice bears. Congrats
Are they prime yet?
Gotta feel strange checking the trap line with a centerfire rifle…..

Anyone thinking about going to Maine to trap a bear I would highly recommend. We are going to be booking again for next year already.

The coats on all the bears were in really good shape.

LOL, we were able to understand them pretty good. I heard a lot of people using "wicked".

Pm me info please

Congratulations
