Most people who have experienced the Maine bear hunts — even those who never tagged a bear — come away with a special memory that lingers long. Bear meat, contrary to the myth, is excellent table fare if properly handled and processed. Hunting bear over bait is not a slam dunk. It’s not too late. You can either contact a Maine bear guide, or you can undertake your own unguided bear hunt. You need to start baiting in early August. ~ V. Paul Reynolds
